Holiday rentals with a patio in Ladysmith

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Great place to stay, beautiful location, perfect for walking your fur baby, safe neighbour hood, relaxing balcony with a great view, simply wonderful experience!

Kirsten was very friendly and accomodating. I'm grateful she accepted our last minute booking and she also let us check out later than the set time. They have a very curious and adorable orange cat who hung out with us for a while during our stay and we really appreciated his company

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

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Adrianna is an outstanding host. I would come back any time again. Five well deserved stars all around. Thank you!

Awesome get away for girls weekend! Thank you so much! We felt right at home. Super comfortable beds

Ingrid and Marc's as hosts have gone above and beyond with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Bench 170 as a home is also beautifully designed and incredibly livable. I would love to stay at Bench 170 again and would highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay! The space was charming and clean, and set a perfect vibe for this leg of our island getaway. We would absolutely stay again next time we visit Parksville.

Home away from home with the most amazing view! I will be go back asap!!

If you are searching for a well-appointed, comfortable, and extremely clean airbnb then be sure to choose this property. It met our expectations based on their listing details, photos, and guest reviews. Definite value for money. Very cozy and beautiful. Communication with Courtney was easy and responsive. I highly recommend this listing.

The place was amazing. The views from the deck were incredible! Such a quiet and peaceful place to relax. We really enjoyed the shower and nespresso coffee machine

Everything was amazing and exactly as it looks in the description and photos! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Ramona was very helpful and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

A beautiful home with everything you will need for family. It is very spacious and quiet, central to downtown Victoria, Saanich and Island Hwy. Deck was a nice place to sit and relax and cook on the bbq. Master bath has a nice soaker. Family loved our stay. Shelley is a great hostess.

This was the most incredible little escape! The apartment was spotless, beautifully set up, and had everything I needed. The pull-out couch was comfortable, and the main bed was perfect for a great night’s sleep. The view from the front yard is absolutely stunning, with mountains that take your breath away. It is also so central, making it easy to get around Nanaimo. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and their sweet big dog greeted me warmly from the upper deck, which made it feel even more like home. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

The host was very responsive. Location is amazing for a quiet getaway. Thanks Nicole!

From the moment I walked in I already couldn’t wait to come back. The view was beautiful, and the space was spacious yet cozy. Being October it was a bit cooler in Qualicum, but with the electric fireplace and baseboard heaters I didn’t feel it inside! The kitchen had so many little touches that felt thoughtful, from drinks in the fridge, spices in the cupboard, and all the utensils and pans to cook a meal in. Barry was proactive with messaging and very responsive when I had a question ahead of my stay. A perfect weekend getaway!

Randy and Barb’s home was absolutely perfect. The condo is beautifully decorated and it’s even more lovely than the photos. The view is unmatched. We watched the tide come in and out each day. The peaceful water views are a dream. We usually visit Florida each year and this year we wanted to stay in Canada. My family had a fabulous time and we can’t wait to come back. Our three year old loved the playground and the kids hot tub that had a slide! Endless fun. The resort has a delicious restaurant, a spa, trails and kayaks. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Randy and Barb!

Incredible! This was truly the place to stay. Everything you need, comfortable and luxurious, location, easy communication start to finish. We are very happy with our stay.

This condo was so great! I could live here. It had pretty much anything you could need for a short or long stay. The full kitchen was nice with the full size, 6 person table. There were several condiments, tea and coffee left in the kitchen to use. The bathrooms and beds were beautiful. Even the hide-a-bed was fairly comfortable. The pool, hot tub and gym were in a different building so we only used them once. The beach and walking path were right outside the door. The walk is definitely worth it, even if you don’t have a lot of time. Other than the shoreline, Nanoose Bay is within an hour of many hikes, waterfalls and hidden gems to explore. We didn’t find a bakery or grocery store within walking distance. The closest would be Parksville which is not far. But you do have to drive or set out for a long walk. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you!

We loved staying at Jordyn’s place as we went to the Grotto Spa at the tigh na mara very near by. It was convenient to get to the water and close to many amenities. We would be happy to stay there again.

We loved our stay at Andrea’s place. It was extremely clean. The space had everything we needed even down to a bin of spare chargers! It was also very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. It even had good coffee!!! The toys, books and board games were such a lovely touch and were so helpful for us entertaining our kids. I find traveling with children they aren’t always as welcomed but we certainly didn’t feel that during our stay here. We had the opportunity to request a high chair and pack and play (with a crib mattress). It was an easy walk to the beach and we very much enjoyed our time exploring what Parksville had to offer. It was April when we visited but the close proximity to the pool in the summer months would also be a hit. Andrea was very accommodating and we can’t wait to come back. I’d give her more stars if I could!

Beautiful new apartment. Underground parking. Quiet. I would recommend it and stay there again.
