Waterfront holiday rentals in Victoria

A lot of "bang for your buck" with this stay. The apartment is generously sized and the kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed making our meals in the well equipped kitchen with a window overlooking the ocean. The garden is absolutely gorgeous with a stunning waterview. The hosts provide a variety of comfortable outside seating options from which to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Roomy, comfy and clean; good bed. Though I didn’t use the kitchen much, it appeared well equipped. Easy drive to downtown Victoria and a 15-20 minute walk to Esquimalt shopping and coffee places. The neighbourhood is residential, pretty, and very quiet - provided a peaceful respite after busy days. The ocean-side park at the bottom of the street is a nice bonus.

This accommodation is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable, with a breathtaking view. Unexpected snowfall meant lots of shoveling, but this was done in a timely manner and our parking was upgraded besides. Thank you for a great stay!

Haven’t really stayed in many airbandb’s but this was bright and cheery and spotlessly clean. Easy walk to great restaurants and our own parking spot right out our door. .

Had such an awesome stay, the room was tidy, modern and had everything we needed. We had such an awesome time out on the dock, wish we could have stayed longer. 10/10 would recommend this place

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Stayed here with my mom, sister, and cousin and we had a great time! Beautiful views and so peaceful. The building was very grand feeling, the apartment was very clean and comfortable. Cindy was a great host, easy to chat with and quick to respond. Loved the location, made it easy to fly and take the ferry for a day trip!

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

This beachfront getaway was exactly as listed. The deck with heaters was a favourite for sitting out and enjoying the view during spring weather. Being right on the water to swim or kayak and then pop in the hot tub was great. The house is as beautiful as advertised and great for a large group. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing oceanfront stay.

unreal, honestly. top 3 airb&bs we stayed at. we ended up booking a 3rd night because it was so amazing. would stay again and may do in May.

We had a great family holiday in Sooke. 9 adults and 1 toddler. Close enough to go into Victoria! (Even by e-bike!!) Spent some time on the Galloping Goose and exploring East Sooke Regional Park. We spent some time on the water and in the nice big hot. The beds were all very comfortable!

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.

The house is located at a beautiful private nook of the island. It’s lovely inside and outside. It’s stocked with all essentials and very well decorated. We had a wonderful time and the kids loved it too. Thank you Jean and Steve.

Everything about Christine’s house was lovely-the view, location, amenities, fireplace, ‘wild life’ and comfortable bed.

We really enjoyed staying at Allison’s. Very quiet, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the lake. Watching the sunrising on the lake while sitting on the dock was spectacular. The kitchen had everything needed and many more extras. We definitely recommend.

A lovely place, in a secluded and beautiful spot surrounded by woods, but within a short walk to a gorgeous cove on the water.

My wife and I had a phenomenal stay at this Airbnb. Nestled in the city's heart, it provided a stunning view of the iconic Empress Hotel. The apartment was comfortably furnished, feeling like a second home. The outdoor patio was a unique highlight. Surrounded by trees, it served as a peaceful oasis amid the urban bustle. The pool and hot tub access added a layer of luxury, perfect for relaxation after city exploration. Our hosts were attentive, ensuring our comfort at every step. This Airbnb is a splendid choice for couples seeking a luxurious city stay. Eagerly awaiting our return visit!

Nice place. Great location Closet was small and furnishings were a bit out of scale and dated. Pillows were mis matched. Kitchen was clunky with no oven just a toaster oven. Noise from the garage door and cars coming and going was irritating. Kit drawer did not work, and drawer front was separated. Threshold to bath was splintered. Overall just needed some careful maintenance.

The day of check in there was a snow storm. There was communication all day regarding the condition of the road. They managed to have all the snow cleared and sidewalk salted in time for a early check in. They also followed up to make sure everything was ok. The space has a beautiful view of the bay from the living areas and bedroom. The utilities are new and modern. Very comfortable and would defiantly recommended it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay outside of city limits.

Robert was a wonderful host with great suggestions for outings and shared his knowledge of the wildlife and area. The highlight for me was watching the family of sea otters fish in the ocean from the beautiful beach deck! We absolutely did not want to leave!

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

The apartment was perfect. Great location at such an excellent cost. Would highly recommend anyone visiting Victoria.

We loved our stay here. Wonderful view of the city and harbor, and close to many restaurants and stores. The in-unit laundry was very convenient. Would recommend, thanks for having us!
