About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image
Over the Rainbow Rentals is led by husband and wife duo with over 40 years of hospitality and customer service expereince between them, Blake and Alex. We love traveling and exploring the world , meeting people and learning about new cultures. We lived on 3 continents before settling down in Little Qualicum River Village , Vancouver Island where we grow permaculture and wild gardens , raise chickens , go for hikes and search for Big Foot :). We are forgers of wild foods, like mushrooms , berries, wild greens and medicinal herbs.We love our home and community and it's tranquility and would like to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

There is only few properties on Vancouver Island that boast the most spectacualr view of the Island, Coastal Mountains and Georgia Strait , where you can see hundreds of kilometers of coastline . Only one is available for rent - ours. There is only few properties that on foggy days are above the clouds basking in the sunshine . Only one is rentable :) . And sometimes the fogg and clouds merge and house is soaked with mist and white light , cozy and quiet.

What makes this property unique

One of a kind view while forest bathing .
