Excellent property. There was a note in the listing that bikes were available for use but this turned out not to be the case.

Thank you for staying with us Monika, apologies for the mix up regarding the bikes, this was a translation issue from our property management software to VRBO. We have corrected this error.
Fantastic location. The perfect combination of access to the inlet for SUP and kayaking, and close proximity to Cox Bay, Chesterman’s, and even Long Beach, which is only 10 minutes down the road. A couple of minutes away from Tofitian Café and surf rentals, could not be better positioned. The house is perfect for a family getaway, there is really nothing it does not have. A couple simple suggestions would be 1. biodegradable shampoo/soap in the outside warm shower - to encourage people to use it before entering the hot tub, and not having to move bottles outside from the main bathrooms, and 2. hand towel rails in the bathrooms. Lovely space, look forward to the next trip
The property is incredibly quiet and family friendly- Minutes walk from Chesterman Beach. The location is truly indescribable and photos do not do it justice. The hosts were very responsive, everything was well labelled and the instructions were super clear for the hot tub. The outdoor shower was so convenient for coming back from the beach. Only a few minutes drive to downtown- likely walkable but it was too long of a walk for my 6 year old. We would definitely stay here again!
