Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Nanaimo

Ingrid’s home is incredible and was an amazing place to stay for our wedding weekend. The home is beautiful and Ingrid left thoughtful touches around for us. Communication was excellent and we had everything we needed. Exceptional host and exceptional property.

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

We had a great time at Scott's place. It was well equipped, comfortable and felt very homely and welcoming. Scott was very friendly and responded immediately to any queries. He gave us helpful tips for local walks and wildlife viewing. We particularly loved watching hummingbirds just outside the lounge windows. We would recommend Karmix Cottage to anyone wanting a get away from it all break, but within easy reach of beaches, waterfalls and forests.

We had a very enjoyable two night start at Haining’s place. Beautiful location, very peaceful, idyllic. A highlight was waking up to see deer in the garden. Great value for money. Excellent host, helpful communication. We would definitely stay again, and would recommend to friends/family.

Craig & Tricia were responsive and accommodating! The driveway is quite steep and they were very transparent about that. Other than that, the place was clean and very spacious!

Coastal retreat was lovely and perfect for two couples. 2 bathrooms seemed like quite a luxury. Suite was clean, view and property were beautiful. Dyan greeted us when we arrived. Dyan and Des were responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend this property and would for sure stay again. Everything was exactly as described.

Angel House was a grand choice for holiday. A hot spot for a mini reunion with family I hadn’t seen in donkey years. Diana and Paul greeted us warmly and were available throughout our stay. At €750 per night and a €21 cash fee per guest, it accommodated up to 12 guests in 7 beds. Listed as “Entire Home” was attached to Diana’s living quarters but it did not detract the experience. Charming décor, window coverings invited early morning light and hotel-quality pillows needed after a long drive. The provided salt and pepper were a nice touch. Nomads will know to bring their own essentials but I prefer not to ask hosts for things during my stay. Despite a few minor issues—no ice on arrival, low ceiling in upstairs bathroom—house provided ample space otherwise with reliable Wi-Fi and a dishwasher! Location was close to Maffeo Sutton & Colliery Dam Park, a short drive to Duke Point Ferry Terminal and bistros around for lunch. Casa Angel de Nanaimo is a value for a memorable reunion!

A very comfortable homely place - “secret walk” down to the nearby beach involving a bit of scrambling which our little grandsons loved - a real getaway- house had everything we needed plus fire pit and bbq - a place you’ll want to return to and we hope we will

We had a wonderful stay at Tanis’ beautiful home! Everything was spotless when we got there, check in and check out were super simple and easy. Location is great with great amenities. Thank you for being such an awesome host Tanis!

Thank you for the great accommodations! Perfect place for a little family getaway!

Spacious, clean, modern unit and dog friendly.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful, quirky home. We had lots of space to come together and our own little nooks to retreat for some quiet time. The kids loved learning to swim in the pool. We all enjoyed exploring the property which is full of little discoveries and surprises to delight. Waking up to birdsong was so lovely. It's close to beaches (drive or bike) and trails (walkable). We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for your hospitality.

This was a fabulous rental, it was perfect in every way. Every step of this booking was just a great experience, the host was so friendly and fun to chat with and thought of everything a traveller might need. All of the instructions were clear and well thought out, everything was as expected if not better, the place was spotlessly clean and everything was provided for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I hope we will get a chance to enjoy your hospitality again, it made for such an enjoyable trip! Thank you so much!

John’s place was fantastic. Easy check-in and quick to answer any questions. My wife and I really appreciated the size of the condo and all the amenities. The fireplaces, jetted tub, comfortable king bed, well equipped kitchen and beautiful patio. We took advantage of the on-site amenities including the gym, pool, outdoor hot tub, trails and restaurant. Our stay was awesome and John made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this gem of a condo in beautiful Nanoose Bay.

Judy's place was clean, tidy & well equipped. We had everything we needed with all of the comforts of home. the kids loved the amenities of rathrevor Beach & the pool being near by! thank you! we will definitely be back!!

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

Stayed here for a week attending classes at VIU. Loved the proximity to the university, grocery store and restaurants, and the quiet neighborhood. The bed was comfortable and I slept great. Travis was super responsive and helpful. Appreciated the breakfast items and little extras.

Amazing place! Just like the photos! This was a fantastic getaway experience for us first timers on the island. We spent lots of time using all the amenities. Definitely would recommend to friends and family. Megan was a great host with adjusting our check in time, and making sure we were well taken care of.

After 2 weeks of travelling the island, Shirley’s stay was just what we needed. Very relaxing and cozy. Would highly recommend !

I spent three days on the Sunshine Coast and stayed at this charming little Airbnb with my partner, and we were absolutely blown away. The place is super cute, cozy, and just a 10-minute drive from the ferry. Coralie is an incredibly kind and welcoming host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It was such a relief to leave Vancouver behind for a bit and reconnect with nature. Being surrounded by forest with a view of the ocean was truly something special. The cabin is small, but thoughtfully designed and perfectly laid out, everything you need is right there. What really made the experience magical was the sound of the nearby river. It created the most peaceful atmosphere and helped me completely unwind and sleep like a baby. Highly recommend this little heaven, I’m already dreaming of coming back.

Had family come from Calgary, we stayed together. We all loved the place, beautiful suite, clean, quiet and lots of room for us. Beautiful surroundings and great staff 😊 Thank you for a great stay!!!!

Cute cottage with excellent kitchen amenities and very clean. Would definitely book again.

This place was great! The host provided everything I needed to know and then some prior to check in which made check in go very smoothly. It’s spacious and very clean and the neighbourhood is quiet. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodations in Nanaimo and I will book here again should I ever return.

Lovely and quiet area. The bed was so comfortable! The photos make the space seem smaller than it is, it was quite spacious and comfortable.
