We have approx 400 sq. Ft. of living space for the unit. There is a private bedroom with a queen bed and also a double sofa bed in the sitting room.

Awesome, Beautiful

Our host was extremely nice. The gardens are just beautiful. We had lovely weather which always helps, but it is a lovely place. The suite is extremely clean and well-appointed and the bed was comfy. We would definitely stay here again. Duncan is a fun little town with good restaurants. And….the mountains add to the trip.

Berta was a wonderful host for myself, my friend and my 2-year-old. We appreciated the quiet, private suite and the garden view! The space was cozy, comfortable and well-organized. It is close enough to downtown to have many options for dining and shopping, but far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The host, Berta, was so hospitable. The accommodations were impeccably clean, the soaking tub was wonderful, so much detail was put into the apartment. The garden was beautiful, peaceful and was so enjoyable watching the hummingbirds during the day and hearing the frogs at night. It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to do. Would love to stay here again if visiting Vancouver Island.

My first VRBO experience, and a very positive one

I wanted to be in the Duncan area to connect with a couple of friends in the area. The reviews, price, and location all aligned with what I was looking for. The VRBO suite was comfortable, clean, with all that I needed. The garden area outside the suite was a plus. Berta's directions and text messages were clear and helpful. I highly recommend this place. JD

Excellent space.

The rooms are exceptionally clean. There wasn't a single thing out of place. The amenities provided are top notch. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows excellent. The location is great it was very close to my sister's place. If you like hiking or running on trails there is a very extensive network just out the door. Would definitely stay again.
