We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the accommodations! In addition to it being a great location and a cozy place, having stayed in many rental properties, this one stands out for its incredibly well outfitted kitchen! Sharp knives, lots of dishes, glasses etc.

We had a lovely stay at this unique house, the kayaks, etc. were an added bonus. The house was well stocked with everything you need. It was situated close to the Ferry, easy trip to Cathedral Grove and a nice drive to Victoria. We definitely recommend for families with children.

Wonderful Hosts and Hideaway

We had a wonderful time and couldn't have asked for better hosts! The property was gorgeous and the location was perfect. Highly recommend for a stay on Vancouver Island... close to all the great activities or just staying in and combing the beach and cooking dinner. Pool table was great, internet connection was flawless too. Thank you for a fantastic vacation!
