On Vancouver Island, beachfront cabins are best (but bargains hide inland).
If you're looking for a homebase for your west coast outdoor adventures, you can't beat a Vancouver Island cabin rental. There's a huge range of options at both ends of the price spectrum, from luxurious, oceanfront vacation rentals featuring hot tubs, saunas, private beaches, and docks all the way to rustic lakeside cabins and forest retreats further from the coast. You can choose from modern chalets and log cabins, many with amenities like full kitchens, ensuite bathrooms, and fire pits, plus sport and kayaking gear rentals. For a truly unique stay, consider a houseboat or a tiny house outside a major city like Victoria or Vancouver.
