Summer is just around the corner and now is your chance to start getting those Airbnbs booked for you and a whole crew.

Luckily, there are some extremely stunning beach houses that you can rent out only a short drive from Vancouver, B.C. and all of your friends can fit.

From lake-side beaches and oceanfront properties to private retreats, there is a mix of everything to make vacation dreams come true.

If you get some friends to join you, it means splitting the cost of the Airbnb, too!

Of course, included in the list are some rentals with huge lawns for all those summer activities too. Is anyone up for a game of Spikeball?

Start daydreaming about ocean dips and tanning all day long because in a few months this could be a reality with these beachfront properties.
