We had a wonderful week long stay in this quiet, lovely, well equipped and very comfy studio suite (e.g. heated bathroom tiles, comfy bed, fresh flowers) with a wonderful view of the ocean and mountains. From our window we looked out at an eagles nest in the trees on a small island just to our left, seals lolling on the rocks, had several whale and porposie sightings, thanks to a text from Sherry, our host we saw a family of deer slowly walking by our front window one evening. Sherry was a lovely host welcoming us when we arrived and texting us before we left.
Simply one of the best coastline experiences of the Ocean Front and Wildlife on Quadra Island. Easy access to: Ferry from Campbell River, Grocery Store and Local Restaurants. Great for a couple who like to go fishing or hiking and are welcomed with a place to relax after their adventures.

It is so rewarding having guests return. That really says it all.
Private and well-appointed with the most incredible view! So much to watch through the huge windows and from the private patio. Sherry's suite has everything you need and is perfect for two.
Convenient location and yet very private & quiet. The place is just as the photos portray, bright, clean, peaceful. Lots of entertainment in the ocean out front.
Thanks Sherry and Mark!
The view was spectacular & the seals put on quite a show for us.
The studio was perfect & our hostess Sherry is charming.

Very clean and comfortable. Our host was amazing and made us feel very welcome.
This is everything you could want in a home away! Very comfortable and clean. Gorgeous views. Our host was gracious, helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed watching all the wildlife (bring some binoculars) and passing cruise ships from the deck. Every detail has been thought of - there was not one thing lacking.

You'll be happy to have these folks in your rental. They even fed my feral cat for me when I wasn't home!
The pictures do not do this amazing studio justice. Wake up in the morning to a beautiful ocean view. Sherry is a gracious host with a wealth of local history. Can’t wait to return!

Great guests, tidy, quiet, friendly. Welcome to return.
From the very start, our stay at Sherry's lovely spot on Quadra was beyond our expectations. The size was ideal for two and everything we wanted was there: a fully functioning kitchen, 2 lovely sitting areas (one inside and one out), a comfy bed, a clean, organized bathroom and a beautiful setting. The view from the deck and the living room is second to none! Sherry was helpful, gracious and responsive -- as was her son who also helped with the arrangements. Many, many thanks to both.

wow. Jim arrived with a gift of home made bread for me. Joanne flew in to join him two days later. A thoroughly delightful couple who I hope will return.
Very attractive calm and serene place. I was looking for something to relax and mediate for few days. You cabin has been the perfect place I expected. You have kept it as a very simple but welcoming place.

Thank you for the kind words and staying at the Oceanside Suite
This is a beautiful peaceful spot and the studio apartment is clean and tastefully decorated. The views are amazing, with much wildlife to view. There is a lovely small patio to also savor the views. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with Sherry the host and she was most accommodating if I had any needs. I would definitely return.
Perfect private location for us yet close to Central Plaza & Ferry. Suite has everything you need with great view. Host Sherry and Dawn were so accommodating. You could sense the commitment & care put into the property. Meeting and chatting with Sherry was the bonus for us! Will be our 'go to' spot on Quadra Island.

Friendly, warm couple. Eddie loves to cook! I will welcome their return stay.
We booked this place by chance… and discovered Quadra Island, which is like the cottage country for Vancouver Island. Peaceful, with beautiful nature.
When we set foot in the apartment, we gasped: a huge window with an amazing view of the strait and mountains in the background. Such a gorgeous place! The apartment is super comfortable and Sherry is a lovely host. Hope to go back!!!

I would love to have this lovely couple return. They were a delight!
We stayed in this studio apartment for three nights in August 2024. The space itself was very nice. Clean, full amenities (loved the heated bathroom tiles) provided, with thoughtful design. The view of Discovery Passage, its surging tidal currents, and the surrounding mountains was mesmerizing. Wonderful sea kayaking opportunities literally next door, with lots of wildlife. Sherry and her son Mark have been in the hospitality business for many decades, and really know how to treat their guests well. They were very accommodating.
Our recent stay at this wonderful property was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the spectacular views that greeted us. The house itself was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, making it feel just like home. Sherri, the owner, was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible.Every day was a treat with the breathtaking scenery. We were thrilled to spot eagles soaring above, and we enjoyed watching a variety of cruise ships, fishing boats, and float planes passing by. One of the highlights was hearing and catching a glimpse of what we believed were whales or porpoises – an experience we will cherish forever.We truly didn’t want to leave this little slice of paradise. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort with stunning natural beauty, this is it. Highly recommend!

Lovely couple, friendly, accommodating and tidy. I hope they return.
Beautiful, well appointed suite, clean and a perfect location to explore the island from. Greeted by a Humpback whale outside the window on day one, not to mention other wild life sightings during our stay. Massive storm passed through during our visit so missed out on sunsets, but on the other hand storm-watching was great. Can imagine the patio would be thoroughly enjoyed during warmer weather. Sherry is a great host - only a text away if needed. This suite is for sure added to our shortlist of places to stay!

I almost want to keep this a secret, it's so wonderful!
We spent four fabulous nights in this wonderful suite. Everything was perfect. Beautifully designed, well stocked and so comfortable. We were lucky enough to have one of those amazing sunsets featured in the images, it was spectacular! We spent many hours happily watching the activities along the water from our private deck. Eagles, seals and vessels large and small provided constant entertainment.
Out hostess was equally lovely and we were honoured to share the one night per year when her Queen of the Night bloomed! Thank you so much for a fabulous stay, we can't wait to return!

It's such a pleasure providing a place for guests amidst nature's bounty. This Passage where a huge variety of ships ply the waters en route to Alaska is a constant wonder. Throw in deer, whales, seals, eagles, otters and you won't want to leave your deck!
