Romance isn’t usually top of mind when someone brings up Vancouver.

The British Columbia gem is often lauded as a nature-lover’s dream destination. There’s plenty to do in the area, regardless of the season and whether or not you want to leave the city. Activities like hiking, whale-watching, mountaineering, and more can keep you busy for longer than a week.
Sure, nature isn’t always synonymous with romance, but Vancouver gets away with it. You can go on a sunset dinner cruise on False Creek or delve into a lush rainforest when you cross the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Or you can keep it lazier with waterfront dinners, quiet walks in botanical gardens, and shopping at Granville Island’s markets… just to name a few ideas.
All that’s left to do is make a short list of the best Airbnbs in Vancouver for couples who are looking for romantic features and amenities. Here’s where to find them.

Best Airbnbs in Vancouver for couples after romance
AfterGlow
This two-bedroom condo is located in a high-rise in the heart of downtown Vancouver. If you’re visiting for a concert, game, or another big event, you’ll be close to spots like BC Place and Rogers Arena. The building comes with free parking and security. You also have access to the gym’s shared hot tub and a private balcony in the unit. The condo itself has a calming, spa-like feel, making it perfect for couples who want to relax.
Ocean & Sunset Views
Speaking of spa-like ambiance, here’s another downtown Vancouver high-rise. The master bedroom is a corner room with window-covered walls that showcase English Bay, offering some sweet sunset views. There’s also a furnished balcony with gorgeous, enviable sunset views that you can enjoy with your partner.
Mountain View Haven
You aren’t short on Airbnbs in Vancouver with great views—at least, if you’re okay staying downtown in a high-rise. This one-bedroom unit has unspoiled bay and mountain views from the living room and bedroom. There’s a furnished balcony that makes it even easier to enjoy with your boo, whether waking up with a morning coffee or calling it a day with a nightcap.
Bright & Modern Loft
Located in central Vancouver on Commercial Drive, this one-bedroom loft gives you plenty of light and room to stretch your legs. It’s a lofted setup that comes with minimalist, high-design décor that feels boutique. Upstairs, there’s a king-sized bed for you to enjoy with your guest. Downstairs, there’s a cozy gas fireplace for cool evenings spent curled up with a book. Despite all the memorable perks, this unit is the most budget-friendly on the list.
Spacious Bungalow
The loft listed above gives you plenty of interior space, but this two-bedroom bungalow gives you an actual yard to enjoy. The backyard is shared with the hosts, giving you access to a grill and charcoal fire pit. This unit is also located in the trending Dunbar area, where you can expect quiet evenings and mom-and-pop shops.
Laneway Home
If you’re new to Vancouver and want a responsive, helpful host in your back pocket, this garden suite guest house is perfect. The new unit is small, but comes with two bedrooms, a cozy fireplace setup, and modern features like track lighting. But the real perk is the responsive host, Shawn, who has hosted in the area for ten years, according to Airbnb. If you and your boo have any questions or concerns, he’s there to give support.
Ambleside Beach Abode
If you want to stay near Vancouver but not in the city proper, head to this West Vancouver guest suite. It has two bedrooms and a private entrance located a short distance from Ambleside Beach. You can walk to the Royal Shopping Centre or easily jump on public transport to get to downtown Vancouver. There’s also a small table setup near the entrance where you can enjoy coffee outdoors.
