It was great and the home was beautiful.Love the back yard however two issues to address:1) Better lighting markings to see the property when driving to the property in the nightime.2) The upstairs bathroom requires fixing in the plumbing. Water was running at the shower head and bathtub facet at the same time.

This pet friendly family cottage is wonderful. Spacious and comfortable, with ample seating for reading, playing board games, and sitting by the fire on rainy nights. It is thoughtfully designed with an open concept, so there are sparkling ocean views from the kitchen, dining and living areas as well as two of the three bedrooms.The kitchen is well equipped and very functional. Pots, pans, cutlery and dishes are plentiful and of good quality. It was a pleasure to make meals in this kitchen!The beds are very comfortable and the bedding is crisp, clean, and inviting. Morning coffee on the deck with the bird song, calm waters and a sheltering arbutus tree was a highlight! An exceptional property perfect for family gatherings.

Our second stay at this beautiful property. It is such a comfortable house, and so well stocked with everything you need. We will go back again next year for what is becoming an annual December trip. Everything in the house is such good quality-the knives are sharp and the pots and pans are good quality. It’s a beautiful spot and just a cozy place to come back to after exploring Pender Island.

This vacation rental was even better than the photos and so very comfortable and welcoming! It has clearly been recently updated with tasteful and fitting renovations but it also maintains everything possible from the past to make it feels like a true home away from home. The view from almost every room was amazing and deck was so comfortable for all times of day!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Rawlings Retreat! The space is wonderful -- clean, spacious, and a great mix of original mid-century modern features and updated spaces. Such a great place to stay! We spent so much of our time on the deck -- such an amazing view! This was a great place to stay while enjoying Pender, warmly recommended. :)

We had a fantastic stay on Pender Island. The location was very convenient for the grocery store and several restaurants / liquor store etc. The view from the living room was idyllic and it just made the trip so much more special. We received a notification that the property was ready for occupancy earlier than planned and this was very welcome as we had 2 infants who were due to have a nap and it was really nice to have the ability to drive straight from the ferry to the property.

Fantastic getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Rawling’s Retreat. Small but very thoughtful touches made our stay even more enjoyable - condiments and basic kitchen ingredients already in fridge/cupboards, cozy warm deck blankets, filled propane heater and BBQ. Highly recommend!

Spectacular house - even better than the pictures and the description. We were impressed by how clean and well-maintained the house was. It was clear that a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. Of note was the comfortable beds with fresh linens and an overall peaceful atmosphere. If you are looking for a spotlessly clean house, tranquility and a roomy place for your family, this is a fantastic choice.
