Fabulous stay. Would love to stay longer to enjoy it more
Well built and insulated floating house. It rained the day we were there and we were comfy and cozy. Even got to hear the rain on the steel roof. The gentle swaying added to the ambiance

Good bonding time.
The property was good to stay in. 2 bunk beds were queen sized and two additional single bed. Its basically a cabin on the water. Things that could be better: 1. Covered patio area as it rains often. 2. Lock on the door. 3. A small handwash basin outside the bathroom. Overall, we had fun. Host was friendly and accomodating. Things to know before you go: Bring mosquito deterrent since you are literally on the water. And know that you will all be staying in the same area. There is a fully functional kitchen and dishes. Bring groceries. Bring games, etc to pass time as there is no tv inside and no wifi. Nice chance to unplug. (This is only for the one house that we were staying in. Other houses can be different.)

Special Getaway
It was a pleasure to stay with Pearl on her island. This getaway is different than most vrbos. Strawberry Island is a short boat ride away from the public wharf/boat launch in downtown Tofino. Pearl was incredibly accommodating in shuttling us back and forth whenever we wanted. We stayed in one of Pearl's three cabins which shared a large dock system with several leased float homes. The cabin was very clean, rustic and cozy consisting of a single room with a bunk bed and two single beds. The back deck looks out onto the inlet with beautiful views. We knew what to expect but it is important to understand what your cabin consists of. Our cabin was rustic in that cooking is done on an old propane cooktop and hot water is supplied by a propane on-demand system. My family and I found this charming and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but others might not know what to expect. The stay was great and we are already talking about going back. Pearl was an amazing host and a pleasure to visit.

Enjoyment Far Beyond Expectations !
We were so thrilled to meet our hosts. We upgraded to the boat with the hole. It was the most fun I have had in years. We invited our family to our accommodations (they were staying by Tonquin Beach) they all expressed the desire to come stay at Strawberry Island with Pearl and Brett at a future date. The beds were sooo comfy, my son and I slept like babies. The whole space was welcoming and Magical.

Incredible Experience
We loved staying here! The view was amazing, eagles all around, right on the water, everything you could ask for! Such a unique experience! The hosts were friendly and super helpful! You are on a dock, so you are rocking like a boat. important to note, there is no wifi.
