Waterfront vacation rentals in Elwha River

For any who are seeking a great place to stay in Victoria's Colwood area, look no further! This is the place! It had everything I needed for a perfect stay ... and more! Duncan and Vi keep house and gardens in immaculate condition. I would be back in a heartbeat!

Luke & Tiffany! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home!🙏

We loved our stay at Christine’s “suite view!” It does have a gorgeous view & very peaceful setting. The place itself is cute & clean with everything you need. We used it as a home base for some local adventures. But honestly i think what we enjoyed most, was coming back in the afternoon to relax in the sunny & private yard. It was very peaceful & serene, with a gorgeous view of the water. I highly recommend Christine’s place & would happily return in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ginny and Gary’s lake house. It was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and it had a lovely view of the lake. It was a great launching point to go see the Skagit Valley tulip festival!

This was such a beautiful stay! the views are truly magical here. very peaceful area, with lots of deer and wildlife to see. the house was perfect as well, you could tell a lot of time and effort was put into curating this space. would definitely stay here again! thank you so much!

This place was fantastic. It was so hard to leave, even after three nights. The lodging decor is cozy, very comfortable with lots of nice seating options and has all that you need. Enjoyed making meals in the ample kitchen (oil & a few seasonings) and watching the wind and water through the wall-to-wall windows. For those with mobility concerns, there are five gradual gravel steps down to your entry door (it's on the lowest floor of an occupied 3-story home) and a short gradual gravel slope down the driveway and along side of house to get down to the very private lower section of the property. Your lower water-view yard is very private with a picnic table for a peaceful outdoor lunch with a view. Loved Betsy's tea and coffee options, the banana muffins and homemade bread were delightful. Quiet lodging with minimal walking sounds from above. Open communication was prompt and check-in/out was easy. I can't wait to return with my sweetie. This was an AirBnB favorite, for sure.

Thanks to Jonathan and his family for sharing this cozy little nook for my family and I. It was everything we needed to crash out after visiting with extended family nearby.

Our stay at the Olympic View Cottage was simply fantastic! Thanks to Jan for being a wonderful host—the fresh homemade granola and breaking out the futon and toys for our toddler were nice touches and greatly appreciated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Such a wonderful cabin. It was super cozy and was the perfect get-a-way for our fam of 3 + 1 dog. For a place that is dog friendly, you could not tell! It was super tidy and clean and simple. Fished right off the beach, had fires and also appreciated the tv for movies at night and games. It’s in the description, but just make note of the pathway down! It’s well maintained, but if it’s rainy it can be a little slick. It definitely would not deter us from coming back but if you have a hard time mobility wise, it would be trickier! This place is 10/10

words can’t describe how amazing this home is! the view of the olympics and beach access made our vacation truly special! the home was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including plenty of beach towels, a few toys for the kiddos, books and even binoculars! we will absolutely be back!

We loved our stay. Very relaxing. Beautiful view. Right on the water. Clean. Peaceful. There was a bottle of wine and coffee provided which was a nice touch. Hot tub was a good temperature, jets weren’t that strong. Only one small bathroom located on top floor but it is clean and functional. Small spiral stair case to get downstairs to one of the main bedrooms might be difficult for people with mobility issues. I recently had a knee surgery so chose to take the upstairs room which was smaller and a smaller bed. There are also some stairs to get to the house from the street. Overall, a wonderful short stay and would definitely stay again.

Very scenic view felt like home. made my kids felt welcome had alot of fun.

This house measured up to all our expectations! Perfect for two couples who want some separation with a king size bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The view was soul soothing. Eagles, deer…even a couple of otters. And then there is Mt Baker in the distance. Can’t be beat. Clean, comfortable. Highly recommend!

The house had great accommodations and it being right on the water was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and serene, wish we could have stayed longer.

Our group of four moms and our four teenage boys rented the Holly House for our annual three day getaway. Even before booking, Paige was exceptionally communicative and helped to clarify questions that I had about bedroom layout. The house itself is *absolutely* stunning and the location on Hood Canal with a gorgeous view of the beloved Olympic Mountains, made this annual trip all the more special. Paige was incredibly responsive on the occasions where questions came up and was a delight to interact with. As a group who loves the cook, the big open kitchen looking out onto the water was so perfect. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. The upstairs bunk “great room” was like a palace for our boys and they indicated that this was their favorite place we’ve stayed locally (we all live in Kitsap). Definitely hope to return again soon!

Ana and Alejandro’s house is located at the perfect location with a private beach and beautiful gardens. There are lots of trails in the area that’s either a short ride from the house or within walking distance. The private beach was very peaceful and a bonus. Ana was extremely responsive to our questions. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

A wonderful option right in the heart of town. Couldn’t be easier to find. Unit looks newly renovated and is spotless. We found parking easily within a block or two, if not right out front.

The place was very spacious and perfect for our month stay. Christina was very kind and answered all the questions I had and responded quickly. We will stay here again for sure in the future.

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!

I loved this place! It was spotless and felt serene as soon as I walked in. I don’t think I ever heard a single neighbor, and the view was beautiful… I felt right at home. It was just what I needed for a solo getaway. Thanks Jonathan for the great communication and for providing such an awesome place!

This is an amazing view. All you need condo setup. Beautiful place. Easy access to bremerton and freeway north.

What an incredibly lovely place to stay on a lake. Beautiful views! So many cool details within the cabin. Has everything you need! Super cozy and relaxing! Will definitely stay again!

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!

It was great staying with Marlyn and Timm. I'll definitely be back to enjoy their beautiful location again! They were very hospitable hosts and made me feel right at home. Thank you!
