Parking was good and covered. The amenities were great and we lacked nothing. The living areas were spacious and comfortable. The views were spectacular and the hot tub a welcoming feature. Only one minor problem, we are used to slightly softer beds. Overall a beautiful vacation home and we highly recommend The Beach House Suite.

First time to Chemainus.

The Beach House Suite is in a great location with wonderful sea views, plenty of space, well equipped and comfortable beds. The outside space offers every opportunity to relax and enjoy the views from numerous sitting areas either on the extensive patio or the balcony. We loved the property and would book again.

Chemainus Beach House

The property was in a long-established, quiet residential neighbourhood. Off-street, covered parking was great. The house had a beautiful view of the channel in front of the house and the Gulf Islands beyond. It was a very warm environment, included an atrium, with plenty of space for hanging out. It was well-stocked with essentials. Would return again.

The view from the house did not disappoint. It was amazing to see the ocean so calm and even orcas on a couple of occasions. The house was great and the management very responsive. We would definitely like to rent this place again in the future.

Great Waterfront Home

We rented this good sized, tastefully renovated and decorated home for a 5 day trip with our young adult kids and dog. Well stocked, good sized kitchen and lots of space to enjoy group meals. Huge television and living room for evening movies (though streaming services require guests to log into their personal accounts) and fantastic indoor and outdoor space to enjoy the expansive water views. Beach access is a few minutes walk away and its easy to walk to the quaint, historic shops "downtown", too. Loved the air conditioning! We only wished that there had been an option to compost food scraps. We noted that Chemainus does compost pick up but no bin was provided at this house. A management property company oversees this rental so there is extra paperwork once booking is accepted. But their staff was very professional and highly responsive to questions. We recommend this property.

Perfect Family Holiday Getaway Location

Well laid-out space with plenty of seating and comforts for a group of various ages. Beautiful views. Lovely outdoor space. Nice bed linens. Comfortable kitchen for prepping meals. Two dining areas in separate rooms + the separate sunroom - allows your larger group to hang out together in the home without being on top of each other. Two of the bedrooms share a hallway with bathroom which can be closed off from the living space - great for privacy and putting kids to bed, allowing adults to have separate space. The primary bedroom with its own bathroom is separate from the other two bedroom, also really nice separation. Laundry in-unit made traveling with small children much easier. We loved our stay.

End to end the experience with the host and management company has been stellar. The location, amazing views, quiet neighborhood, proximity to sights, maintenance of the property, awesome sunroom and backyard with beautiful sunrise views has been none less than exceptional.

Beautiful view! I would stay here again. Great location as it is close to everything. Only one thing to be aware of is there is no electrical outlets in either of the bathrooms. Made it a little tough to do your hair. Had issue with refrigerator as the maid turned it off and everything was melted when we woke up. We were able to figure out how to turn it back on and property manger was very helpful.

Overall impression was very good . It was a mixed bag with the weather so nice to have an outdoor patio and a glassed in patio to enjoy the ocean view. Only suggestion I would make is to include a toaster in the kitchen .
