Living Cottage Life!
Truly enjoyed this lovely cottage for the weekend on the island. Well appointed and meticulously maintained it had everything we wanted and more. We will be looking for more opportunities to return to not only enjoy the island, but the cottage itself.

The perfect holiday home…
We had a lovely Christmas with our grown boys at this property. They loved it because of the pool table, hot tub and the theatre space for watching movies. I loved it because it felt brand new; fresh and very clean. It’s tastefully decorated and the beds were extremely comfy. Owners, who live next door, were wonderful to deal with. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Many comforts and entertainment
The cottage has all the comforts of home. It is brand new with an amazing kitchen, walk in shower, two spacious bedrooms and so many televisions. There’s a hot tub and super nice covered deck. Downstairs is a pool table and a projection movie entertainment centre. We were very impressed. Thanks Denis.

The Perfect Island Getaway!
We wanted to take our kids to Vancouver Island this summer, & since none of us had ever been to the island, we wanted our stay to be really memorable. We looked online at a TON of places, and this one jumped out as looking pretty special & unique. The fact that there were 2 floors, 2 FULL baths, along with some in-house activities like pool table, home theatre, and hot tub made this seem like a good bet. And the location (10 minutes from the airport, and very close to the water) looked like a plus also. Upon arrival, though, nothing could have prepared us for how much BETTER the property was than it looked like on paper. The whole place is outfitted with top-notch amenities; luxurious bedding & super comfy beds; Alexa wired throughout the whole cottage; and an incredible location close to a network of awesome hiking trails. Taking a morning walk with my son to the edge of the water was a glorious way to start each day! We also enjoyed the hot tub immensely - using it at least 1-2 times/day. After coming back from a long hike or a long day out doing other activities, the hot tub was a welcome relief before bed. Finally, communication & check-in process was flawless - one of the best we've ever had in many (many) years of using VRBO. When we had a very minor issue shortly after check-in, the owners were there within minutes to make sure everything was up to par. Overall, it made for an A+ trip, & we'd stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Denis & Cathy!

Beautifully appointed and very comfortable! With the exception of a few kitchen items we could have used and a bit more shampoo we were very well pleased.

A wonderful place to stay
This “ smart” home has everything you could need for your stay - even a movie room with popcorn. It was clean, new, in a quiet neighbourhood. I would definitely recommend this property.
