Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Central Saanich

A wonderful and cozy house in one of the most beautiful areas of the world. Close to lakes, mountains, lots of hiking and within sight of Canada! House was well equipped and is a perfect getaway in any season!

Beautiful old cottage across from Fisherman Bay. Loved the water view from the cottage! There is a deck with seating to enjoy the view. Comfortable living room with wood stove if needed for chilly nights. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast and picnic lunches. Two cozy bedrooms with comfortable beds. Nice shower in the bathroom. There is also a washer and dryer available for use. We walked to the Galley Restaurant (.3 mile) and the Islander Waterfront Restaurant and Bar (.8 mile) from the cottage for delicious dinners. Recommend making ferry reservations well in advance to ensure that you are able to get on the ferry. We will definitely stay here again!

This cabin was so dreamy! On our drive in, we spotted a beautiful gray fox and a few deer. The forest surrounding the cabin is just beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. I thought I wouldn’t like to walk to the bath house, but honestly I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s only a short walk, and it gives you multiple chances to spot wildlife. The bath house is clean and has everything you need. I especially enjoyed the French press coffee and slow mornings reading in the cabin

Cool Breeze is absolutely above and beyond! While we have stayed in cozy AirBnBs before, this place is simply amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed all the loving touches including a kitchen fully stocked with every tool you need to make a meal, the collection of vinyl records, and generally the charming cozy atmosphere of the house. Really appreciate how lovingly the hosts have put everything together, down to all the logistical details that made our stay very smooth. We certainly hope to stay again here sometime.

Great short term rental for us. Gave us the driveway to park, well appointed suite with all the necessities, bed was top shelf, very comfy-slept in both mornings! Ill stay here again if available.

Beautiful Getaway! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 5-year-old, 1-year-old, small dog) spent American Thanksgiving week at Carley's place on Pender Island and had an amazing and relaxing week of family time. The house is even more unique (in the best possible way) than the pictures show, the views are amazing, and the kids spent days just exploring the space. We hiked each day, explored the island, and enjoyed the sunsets and fireplace. The hosts are communicative, and the place has all the amenities you could need. 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again!

Peter's place was perfect for our three nights on Galiano with our dogs. The house was comfortable and the view was exceptional! We had perfect weather to enjoy the patio and veranda, and it was a great base from which to explore the island. The location on Montague Harbour provided ready access to the Provincial park and we also travelled to several other locations for hikes and beach adventures. Larry welcomed us when we arrived and was available to answer questions as needed. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to Galiano.

Stayed here for a weekend to visit friends, great location in a quiet neighbourhood. Super comfortable bed! Loved the patio and the indoor fireplace.

This is an AMAZING place for a couple’s retreat! We felt so welcome and right at home during our stay! Louis and Tasha are wonderful hosts and they’ve put a lot of thought and care into creating a wonderful experience for their guests

Billie’s place was the perfect spot for a trip to Salt Spring Island. Really appreciated the welcome, orientation of the suite and local recommendations. I’d love to stay again and will definitely recommend!

Beautiful home the house was stocked with all the basics in kitchen and bathroom-nice outdoor space. Host was super responsive to my technology challenged brain. It was peaceful and loved the pool, pool table and games great family fun! A+

We had an amazing stay at Gramma Rikki’s beautiful home! It was perfect for our group of two families (4 adults + 3 young kids). The house was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—from a well-equipped kitchen and cozy bedrooms to toys, books, and kid-friendly touches throughout. The huge yard, hot tub, and fresh-water pond were big hits, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. Gramma Rikki was incredibly warm and welcoming - an outstanding host. We’d absolutely come back again!

The Treehouse Cabin was an excellent space for our group of ten!! Patrycja and Adrian were fabulous hosts. Accommodating to our few requests and quick to reply to any questions we had. The property is a bit of a ride from downtown Victoria, but by being so it allows some peace and privacy from the crowds and traffic. There was so much we could do without even having to leave the property. Air hockey, pool, hot tub, and darts, just to name a few! The home was well stocked with serveware, basic kitchen items, cleaning supplies, some bathroom supplies, and more. If I could do it again, the only thing I would change is planning trips into downtown Victoria a bit better to reduce driving and maybe allowing some more time to enjoy what the home offers!

Budd's place was even better than I expected and I can't wait to return. My friends were also blown away by how stunning it was. It had everything you could possibly need and was such a great escape from the city. Highly recommend!

Super convenient and comfortable. Enjoyed gas fireplace, pool table and comfortable beds. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

The street was very quiet. I think there was only one or two other cabins that were being used that week, which means we had a very peaceful stay. We locked out it was also very sunny the entire week. The place was amazing with big windows, it was clean, bright and beautiful. Thank you very much Cheryl. We had a wonderful stay. Looking forward to booking with you again 🙂

What a beautiful place. I didn't want to leave. Everything was perfect from the outside to the inside. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to book here. I will definitely be back.

Jenas place was perfect for us. We had a great few days despite the rain! Jena has thought of everything you need to make this home from home with lots of useful extra items!

Virpi is a helpful, responsive, and accommodating host. We appreciated that the unit is well stocked (lots of extra blankets, enough dishes, laundry detergent that we could use, etc). It's worth noting for us because we are a family of five and have stayed in too many places where this isn't the case! The unit was simple and clean and a great affordable option in the area.

This was a wonderful space to unwind and enjoy the beauty of salt spring island. Lisa and Gary were excellent hosts and helpful with recommendations and assistance as needed. We enjoyed the patio, hot tub, grill, and view throughout the stay. The frogs lulled us to sleep and birds woke us up daily. It is a place we hope to return to for sure.

Catherine is amazing and friendly lady! We enjoyed our talks with her.

Wendy's place was so quiet and peaceful, we absolutely loved staying here! We had everything we needed and the space was really well set up. It was a perfect spot to stay! Wendy's property is wonderful and we enjoyed getting to see her friendly dog, the horse and goats! Wendy was really helpful with great local recommendations, there's much more for us to come back and do on a future trip!

The hosts were very graceful and understanding of my anxious dog. They answered all of my questions promptly. The roads in the area are long and windy, so be aware of this in case anyone in your party has motion sickness issues. It was perfect for me as I love exploring new areas. Those from out of town may want to research the controversy surrounding the bear mountain/highlands area and local first nations communities.

We love staying here! It’s peaceful and relaxing, right off the Galloping Goose for a quick ride or walk and the kids love being able to have a campfire. The place is clean, has everything you need and all the kitchen tools to cook a great meal. Laura is always quick to respond, and my son loved checking out the fire truck!
