clean and modern
We enjoyed our stay at the Purple door. It was spacious, clean and convenient. The hosts were prompt in replying to our booking and our questions. It's quite modern -- lots of remote controls and modern decor. That suits many people looking for a cabin that has the mod cons.

Best vrbo experience yet!
The purple door vrbo was the best vrbo experience yet for our many travels around Canada. The Cullen family were very welcoming and the unit was very very comfortable with all the latest home and tech features. We plan on booking it for visiting family and friends to the island, especially to take them to the close by Lantzville beach. A true winning location and home away from home!
