The Beach house suite was perfect for our late family Christmas celebrations. Being able to have our dogs come along was wonderful. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. The view was incredible. We enjoyed the quiet street that we were on and the convenience of the grocery store. A really lovely home.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
