Pictures accurately reflect the home and location. Kitchen was adequately equipped for making meals at home. A good supply of paper products, as well as shampoo/conditioner/soap and laundry/dish detergent were provided. The deck is large with plenty of seating and a lovely view. Very quiet location with bird-watching and wildlife. Groceries, gas and the ferry are about a 10 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and would book here again!

We have always loved Gabriola, but this place is really spectacular! Beautiful property, amazing, peaceful, private location, and the house was just perfect. It was spotlessly clean, super comfortable for our group of 5 and fully equipped with everything we needed. The beds were divine and the place was so quiet, I got some record high sleep scores! The BBQ was great and we loved spending as much time as possible on the fabulous deck. We were especially blown away by the gorgeous rocky beach. The weather was not peak summer yet, but we enjoyed a bit of the refreshing 'temperate rainforest' weather that makes BC so green. Despite a few showers, several of our friends swam every day(!)Thanks so much for sharing this magical piece of Gabriola with us. We hope to be back again soon!

A gem of a property

Pictures don’t do this properly justice. It is so clean and well equipped for a family stay. The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, there are beach towels and board games… The property is amazing with private access to the beach is so special. Exploring tide pools in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. This is a special place, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family vacation

We travelled with three littles and a few adults. Beautiful property and cottage. House was well equipped. Beach access easy stairs and a lovely patio over the beach. Swimming at high tide was like an aquarium swim. Lots of beach life and adventures. Beds were comfortable. We would recommend to future guests.
