Everything was excellent from our initial booking, communication, check in and above all, Mermaid Cottage itself! The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking essentials, including coffee and spices. Comfy beds and a cozy atmosphere for relaxing, truly made our stay very enjoyable!

The location was ideal for our holiday. We visited the beach, went whale watching and visited relatives in Qualicum Beach. The house had everything we needed and was spotless. The kitchen was well-stocked so we had all the dishes, cooking utensils, glasses, pots & pans, etc we needed for meals. The area is lovely, beautiful vegetation and we enjoyed seeing the rabbits.

What a lovely, well appointed cottage. We've stayed in the area every year for over a decade and we enjoyed this stay the best! That's saying a lot. On top of the great location, stylish furnishings and well stocked kitchen, we particularly appreciated the 11:00 am check out which had us enjoying the last day of our vacation as much as we did the first! Many thanks, we look forward to returning again.

The place is wonderful, with lots to do around it.Just be aware that bathroom amenities are minimal...just hand soap. Bring your own tissue, shampoo etc.. there seems to be an ample supply of towels though. Make sure you check out the front hall closet for pool and beach supplies (towels, folding chairs).

Great location! Plenty of room and a very comfortable, clean cottage. The beds were also very comfortable and the loft bedroom and ensuite were perfect for our teenager! I would definitely stay again and recommend the cottage to anyone looking for accommodation for a larger group in that area.
