Awesome location for surfing and beach walks. Loved the house and the hottub on the back deck. Great for little crawlers and walkers because there aren’t any stairs. We had a few issues with the cleanliness of the property, but the property managers were very responsive and quickly helped out with the issues.

Wonderful stay in the forest by the sea

Fernwood by the Sea provided the perfect spring break retreat for our family of two adults and four teens. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, hot tub surrounded by lush trees and greenery, and fully equipped kitchen. Having two full bathrooms (supplied with luxury soaps and shampoo etc.!) was much appreciated with four teens. The home is located in a great walkable location. It was an easy stroll to Chesterman beach in our wetsuits where we enjoyed boogie boarding, watching surfers and beachcombing. Very nice to be able to come back and shower off in the warm shower after being in the water and hop in the hot tub. We enjoyed walking to the café at the Wickanannish Inn to sample some of the delicious baked goods. Also an easy walk to the "shopping village" that has a coffee shop, surf gear rental, restaurants and a small grocery store. Highly recommend.
