This was a lovely place to stay and had everything we needed. Definitely recommend backing in to the driveway. Street parking for a second car was down the street a bit but Kevin was very kind and offered us his spot for our second vehicle for the one night we needed it. The view is beautiful, the beds are comfy and the AC was wonderful on the hot days. Definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay. The owner was always readily available to assist us with any requests we had. We even had the incredible opportunity to observe orcas right from the living room window!

Was very modern and clean. The rooms were big and very comfortable. Living room and kitchen have a beautiful view of the ocean . We would go again and is a perfect place for Snow birds to winter.
Fantastic stay in Maple Bay!! Super easy to access the unit. We loved all the detailed instructions around the place, they made it so easy to get settled. The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved the ice maker in the freezer for our water bottles on those hot summer days. The BBQ on the patio was great surprise to have access to. We spent a lot of our time on the patio enjoying the amazing views. Duncan was a quick 10 minute drive away for all your shopping needs. There is a great little restaurant 5 minutes away call The Lion Rampart that we enjoyed a couple times during our stay.
