Fabulous house just across the road from the beach
This is a great house, clean and comfortable and in a fabulous location just across the quiet road from the beach and a short drive to Langley & Freeland. We loved the fact there were two nice Kayaks (and lifejackets) that we could take out in the bay. Kitchen was well equipped and there was a good BBQ outside. Beds were comfy. Lots of games and books too. Perfect for a family get away.

Peaceful and beautiful vacation
We came for a family vacation with teenagers and grandparents. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable for a two-night vacation. Kitchen equipped with all the necessary utensils and great coffee. The beds were very, very comfortable, everything was pampering and pleasant. There is private access to the beach, it's very nice and we also enjoyed the sauna outside, an unusual experience for us. The hosts are charming, gave full information and answered every question, even during the vacation. Thank you Erin, we really enjoyed your lovely property, located in a picturesque and beautiful landscape!

Comfortable home on the best street!
We had a mini reunion with longtime friends and their children. The location is right across the street from the beach and we had a great time exploring the tidal flats, as well as playing in the water. We appreciated the thoughtful touches that made the stay easier with young kids! We could the sauna to work at first but Erin patiently helped us troubleshoot. The beds were comfy (even the pull out ones) and the house feels bigger than one would think. It’s clear a lot of thought and love has been put into the setup! With a lot of people showering, we did have to wait for hot water a couple times. However, that was expected and did not detract from the experience at all—just might be good to know for timing baths if you have little ones. Overall, would definitely recommend and would rent again!

This property perfectly met our needs for the weekend. The hosts seems to have thought of everything...from games and kid gear to spare phone chargers and a very well appointed kitchen. The beds were very comfy and the bedding cushy. The entire place was spacious and cozy. It was very clean.
Erin was sympathetic and especially kind.

Early Family Thanksgiving
Son and his family stayed there because there was not enough room at our 'inn.' The bedrooms were surprisingly large, and the property was well appointed and very clean. They even had a turntable. Bring your old vinyl!

Great spot by the beach
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here for Thanksgiving. The home is perfectly sized for a family with plenty of space for everyone, and we really appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The beach is close by and was fun to explore at low tide.

Lovely home with attention to detail!
We stayed here for a Girls Trip weekend in August 2022. The home is spacious, clean, and had super nice details throughout - great dishes, comfy bedsheets, etc. The home was even more spacious than we pictured - we were 7 adults and felt very comfortable. I forgot an item and the owners were prompt in alerting me and make return a breeze as well - appreciated that! The owners were very communicative and quick to respond to all our questions!
