A rugged coast, the Canadian Cascades and the Canadian Rockies come together to create the astounding natural beauty surrounding these British Columbia vacation rentals.
On the coast, most people stay in either Vancouver or Victoria. The former, a sparkling twin to Seattle, offers an eclectic mix of cultural and outdoors amenities in a modern, big city setting. The latter, much smaller and quainter, sits across the strait on the moss- and fern-covered Vancouver Island.
Inland, the mix of mountains and lakes creates a perfect setting for cabins and golf courses. Lakes like Skaha, Okanagan and Vaseux benefit from sandy beaches and nearby towns with groceries and restaurants.
The best skiing in B.C. can be found in the Selkirk Mountains, on the border of Alberta. Big White and Sun Peaks receive bountiful snow and have every type of terrain, from mellow cruisers to backcountry chutes.
