Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Sooke

The Swell House is the best home we have ever stayed at, anywhere, in the past 10+ years we've been on Airbnb. Waking up to beautiful views of the water, the sound of the waves, sipping a warm mug of coffee while bird watching, are just the start of each incredible day of our weekend. We also decompressed in the private sauna facing the water at sunset. Inside the home, every room was stocked with everything you could possibly need, including some personal touches and extreme attention to detail. The expansive yard was perfect for our dogs, and also had a bountiful garden growing fresh veggies. We enjoyed using the grill each night accompanied by the produce. In the evenings, we relaxed by the wood burning stove and listened to the record collection. Throughout the weekend I barely used my phone as I felt so relaxed and connected with the coast. We will definitely be visiting again and we look forward to our next stay at the Swell House!

Absolute bliss, quaint, equal parts interior living and comforts to equal parts patio deck space. Plenty of windows for views and light to be let in for natural relaxing. Hot tub and the view from there is tremendous and well placed. The beach access and little natural rock cove of the property is dreamy and a great place to dip your toes in or go for a splash. Will make another reservation in the future!

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

The log cabin was the perfect place for us to stay after an epic West Canada road trip. Quiet, comfortable, relaxing. Walkable to nearby supermarkets and places to eat. Great communication, checking in on us to make sure all was well. Would stay here again!

we had a wonderful time staying at dauphins house, beautiful surroundings, every morning we see deers, has a nice private dock to take a dip in and private small beach, its absolutely peaceful, would highly recommend this place and amazing parking fit all my 4 trucks.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The place was exactly as described and the views were spectacular. Evelyn was a great host. She informed us of everything we needed and more. We had forgotten a sweater at the place and Evelyn was so kind to mail it to us.

Excellent stay here! Private everything, no shared spaces except driveway. *note: Driveway is Not flat, it's quite slanted/FYI. Kitchen is GREAT if you like cooking, LOVED gas range/gas oven, only missing a Glass dish for oven/chicken/baking. Plenty of utensils, didn't really cook a ton so can't think of anything 'missing' TERRIFIC laundry on-site, just didn't see it at first, it's behind the closet door in the foyer. Shower/bathroom is Great! Has "rain" shower heads over your head, Handy soap/shampoo/conditioner etc on a corner rack so if you forget to bring, no worries ! Counter space is good. Lighting is good. This space was built into the rear space behind garage and butts up to a rock wall at the bedroom/bathroom. Daylight comes through but the only outdoor view is living room/patio. Patio has table and 4 chairs. Only negative would be the dull thud pitter patter of a 3 yr old running around ;-) very understandable, but mostly between 3pm/4pm and 7pm-ish. Overall, a terrific stay!

This is a true gem and an amazing space to stay in while visiting the West Coast and would stay here again over and over. The outdoor space was well designed for privacy and feels like you’re on your own in the great outdoors to enjoy a campfire and the beautiful outdoor tub was spectacular and such a treat. We loved all the extra amenities and the space was very well designed indoors and felt like home.

Having stayed at many Airbnbs in multiple countries, this is by far one of the best. The hosts, Vi & Duncan greeted us upon arrival and provided a wonderful tour. The gardens & views are breathtaking! The space had everything we needed and more. We appreciated the recommendations and all the hosts did to make our stay ideal. Loved the muffins! Thank you.

The suite was lovely and quiet, with everything we needed, and we appreciated the peaceful neighbourhood!

Absolutely perfect! Close to shops and restaurants. Clean apartment and awesome pool/ hot tub.

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s ! The suite is close to the the Cowichan Valley Trail ( part of the Trans Canada Trail ) which we cycled for 2 days. Also close to town and restaurants and the famous totems of Duncan. Lots of lovely touches and a very comfortable bed . Would highly recommend Jane’s air bnb .

We had a wonderful stay They we very helpful with everything. And we can't thank Chris enouth for helping us with our car issues Absolute Legend !

Harley’s place was pure magic. Perfectly situated and very well equipped, we felt right at home for our three-night stay in Port Renfrew. The views are even more breathtaking than the photos suggest, with tons of natural light spilling through the entire apartment. We were blown away by the wildlife sightings from the balcony and spent hours with the binoculars taking it all in. We would happily return to Harley’s property in the future.

Amazing experience from start to finish. Easy, simple and a property that exceeded our expectations. The view is second to none. The place is very comfortable and well laid out inside and out. Everything was awesome and I’d highly recommend a stay. It wil not disappoint.

Amazing place. I was there with my parents and it was a great experience. The place was in the heart of downtown, and everything was close by. Highly recommend this place

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

The place is amazing, and Billy was a great host. Every part of the property and accommodation is great. We especially enjoyed the private river access, sauna, and comfortable, well set up cabin. The space is also super flexible with lots to do, lots of places to hang out, and works for big groups. Finally, we loved how well prepared and clear things were in terms of pre-made fire places, instructions, etc. Great experience and hope to return for sure.

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.

Very nice hosts! Gone above and beyond to help us with everything. Will definitely recommend and go to this place again! Very friendly and polite

Jack’s place was great, very clean, peaceful, and quiet. The hottub was awesome, and the kitchen and tv’s / speakers and all equipment was very easy to use. All instructions were super clear. We made lots of use of the pool table! We will be coming back for sure

We were here for a night. We loved our stay, especially the backyard water view. We also spotted deer multiple times. The place was well cleaned and maintained.

Space was rented for a few employees who were working on the area, it served its purpose!

Jennifer's place exceeded our expectations, the home was spotless and spacious and the back garden views were exceptional. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and the walk out patio was lovely. Jennifer and Al were helpful and welcoming, very responsive. Would definitely recommend and return.
