Because of its temperate climate, exploring Vancouver Island is more enjoyable than visiting other parts of Canada, which feature much colder weather. As the biggest island on North America’s Pacific Coast, it offers tourists a lot of fun outdoor activities such as road trips, garden tours, whale watching, and wildlife cruises. You can also consider visiting Pacific Rim National Park Reserve to witness the oldest forests in the country and hiking the West Coast Trail. Given the diverse recreational options here, it would be a waste if you only stayed here for a few days. Extend your stay and reap the benefits by booking a long-term rental. Scroll down for the best long-term rentals in Vancouver Island, Canada, which offer great discounts for long-term visitors.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and long-term stay rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.
