Perfect Family Vacation

We stayed at Carol's vacation rental in June 2025. The location was amazing with great access to the beach and driving distance to loads of child friendly activities. Carol was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for our two children. The place was fantastic and has everything you'd want to cook! Thanks again Carol!

Perfect Birthday Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying at Carol and Terry’s place. The rooms were very comfortable and the unit fit our party of six (three generations) perfectly. We loved the green space outside for the kids to play and the adults to lounge. The kitchen and BBQ were gourmet. The beach access was easy and so close. Thanks for a great holiday!

Was as advertised, beautifully appointed luxury condo!

Condo was immaculate and wonderfully located at one of our favourite spots on Vancouver Island. Wonderful walks, great weather, outstanding pubs, restaurants and bistros. Great shopping close by and a kitchen that was fully equipped and great appliances for home cooking and or barbecuing on scenic patio! We all felt very lucky to have found such a treasure and look forward to returning.

Luxury by the beach

Thank you Carol & Terry for sharing your beautiful townhouse and your top of the line appliances, furnishings and decor. The location is amazing and we really enjoyed the privacy of the back patio area. You've thought of everything one could need. We knew we had made the right choice to stay with you when we arrived to your lovely card & welcome gift. Thank you so much!

The Perfect Wedding Retreat

We stayed in this modern clean retreat home that was very spacious for six adults and one child. Very well equipped with plenty of everything. Carol was extremely helpful and answered quickly if we didn’t understand something. The beach was cool at low tide and walked out for a long ways. Lots of stuff to see and visit close by. Nice and quiet too! We would definitely come again. Thanks Carol and Terry

Beach Fun

Close walking access to the beach. Lots of local hiking in the area. Property clean and well equipped! Disappointed that there is not actual pool or hot tub access as indicated in the listing. There is an option at a neighboring resort complex but you must pay a drop in fee. I would suggest the listing be updated to reflect this in order to limit disappointment for families.

They have every appliance, pots and pans to cook whatever is you like. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The green space out front is a nice touch, with added bunnies that come to say hello, our kids loved that. We even had an owl pay us a visit right outside the front window.
