Very good

Family celebration for a milestone birthday. We had enough beds and the below yard was perfect for our dog to run around. Great location near Transfer Beach, where we paddleboarded and let the dog swim. The property has a lovely view.
Family travelled to Ladysmith for a winter reprieve and to spend time with friends living locally. Ladysmith is a unique place, centered well between Victoria and Nanaimo. The rental provided all the comforts of home, was very clean, extra bedding and towels (always a plus!) and so spacious for us travelling with 3 teenagers. Loved the view, and everyone was able to relax and enjoy our time together. Host was very attentive, checking in with us to ensure comfortable stay. Instructions and information was very clear. We will absolutely consider staying here again when we travel back to Ladysmith :)

Glad you enjoyed your stay.
It was a pleasure hosting you and welcome back anytime
Large property, but subdivided into different rental areas so every movement from above can be heard.Side entrance involves external stairs which are not lit so a bit concerning in the dark. Beds were not comfortable.

Hi Karren
Sorry you were disappointed with your stay. We are as transparent with our listing as possible and mention all the issues you have stated
It is a 3 storey building with a suite on each level and we do mention there are stairs on exterior to acess the lower suites and we have photos showing the flight of stairs and also there is a issue with noise transferring between floors and it is mentioned in our listing as well
The lights on the exterior needs to be turned on by guest and then it is not dark
It is important to read the listing amenities and description prior to booking so you are not disappointed
Listing stated that washer and dryer were included, but when we arrived, they didn't have one. Messaged the host and they said there wasn't one available. Later, they offered the one in the garage upstairs, but it was much later than we wanted to be up and it didn't finish until after midnight. A little while after we arrived, water started pouring from the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. Host responded right away and had guests upstairs stop using Jacuzzi. She cleaned up the mess, but it was an big inconvenience.Property states kitchenette, but they only have a hot plate and plug in electric griddle. Overall, not great, but host did eventually do what she could to address issues.

Hot plate did not work so had to buy one to cook had to buy my own pan and knifes for cutting fruits the yard could be kept and more enjoyable to look at also there are patches and repairs throughout unit. Inside is ok but poorly stocked for the price.

Ladysmith Stay
Incredible view. However, the space did not feel like it had been cleaned thoroughly, and there was garbage on the property.
Great location and view. Pet friendly had everything we required for our 3 night stay. Noisy neighbours above and below during the night. Maintenance issues with AC and plumbing.
The owner Menbien was very quick in replying back to my emails and helpful when I asked about the beautiful roses she has at her backyard. Our stay at her house was lovely.

Thanks Melinda
It was a pleasure hosting you. Welcome back anytime and if I learn how to do cuttings I can have a few plants for you next time.lol
We had an excellent stay at this property. Lots of room for a family and appreciated the space for a little one to play when it was raining outside. Amenities are accurately described in advertisement. Host is very responsive and helpful. Would stay here again and would recommend.
