"I can see Canada from my house"

Perfect location on the west side of the island with amazing sunset views (even better right after the sun sets). You can see Victoria B.C, accross the Haro Strait right from the house you are staying in. Amazing views right from your bed. The bed was sooooo comfortable. The property and area are so quiet and peaceful. The owner has created beautiful art pieces made from natural materials from the island. At times, the Orcas swim by for a free show. If you love nature and tranquility, this is the place to stay!

House with a soul

The view from the deck was extraordinary! We saw one whale within 30 minutes of our arrival and five more the next morning! We also loved the house with its art from natural materials!

Cozy and quiet!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a lovely stay at this property. Everything I needed was there including a nice bottle of wine to welcome me. Comfy bed, lovely deck area and great view. A little bit sketchy transfer from pathway to front porch--uneven rocks with no hand holds. But, it would not keep me away--just be aware!

Great property

My wife, 18 year old son and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was great. My son said the sofa bed was comfortable and the master bed was also very comfortable. The owners, Walter and Cheryl, were very accommodating and friendly and the views were stunning. We’d stay there again!

gorgeous views, wonderful unique cabin!!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We lucked out when we found this gem! Convenient, gorgeous view, very isolated with tons of privacy but great access to the entire island. Wonderful hosts who were super responsive when we had a question/issue and who also left us a sweet bottle of wine as a thank you gift. We would definately stay here again. Only complaint: Virtually no access to wifi (which is the case for everyone, evidently on the northwest part of the island).

Waterfront property

One bedroom loft was perfect for a couple. Lots of privacy overlooking the water and close to town. The overlook had lots of charm and great for cooking in and eating on patio. Saw whales from the deck which was amazing. Highly recommend this retreat.
