Wonderful host! Comfortable room with many amenities. The location was spectacular. Views for miles and a 2-minute walk away was the most amazing little park with rock beaches, tidal pools, a visiting seal, and more incredible views! We would definitely return!

Beautiful property right on the ocean. Suite is above the host's garage. Very private. Access to back deck overlooking ocean. Lots of amenities: microwave, toaster oven, hot plates, coffee maker, kettle, fridge/freezer. Host welcomed us and had snacks and waters ready in the room plus a gift of homemade jam. The bed was the best!!! I cannot say we have stayed anywhere with so comfortable a bed. We would recommend this property and would stay here again.

Lovely Driftwood Cottage!

This was a wonderful place that was so well put together! Everything we needed in a well thought out layout. The property surrounding is gorgeous and such a peaceful area. Treats, yogurt and fruit was left for us to enjoy but we had so much of our own food with us we didn’t partake. A handy coffee & tea station was available too! The bed was exceptionally comfortable too. All in all we would highly recommend Driftwood Cottage!

Host has really gone above and beyond to have a nice, welcoming and well-equipped space to stay. We were comfortable and wish we could have spent more time than just a quick overnight. Would book again. Great communication as well. Is really only a 5 minutes from the highway in a quiet neighborhood, don’t let the map deter you!

Lovely loft studio in Nanoose Bay

Nola was super responsive to our inquiries and has it set up for easy check in. Very tidy suite with all amenities needed. Surprised me when I found rice and a rice cooker on the rack with kitchen supplies. She provided supplies to enjoy our first few days- coffee, Creamer, napkins. Chips. All the thoughtful gesture was appreciated,Nola! We’ll be back!

Private and Peaceful neighborhood

Bright and spacious studio suite on top of Workshop with beautiful view of fountain and landscaped yard. Beautifully decorated with blue accent chairs and bedcovers. 2 sitting areas for your coffee and meals. Fan and AC when it gets warm. A dresser and portable clothes rack to hang your clothes.. Games and books provide. Fell asleep to the sound of the fountain.Kingsize bed is very comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen with all needed to prepare you meals. Mini fridge with a separate freezer compartment-it’s a bonus when you like ice and frozen water bottles . Great welcome package with a basket of chip bags, creamer in the fridge for the coffee pods provide to get us started. All of Nola’s personal touch definitely made us filled welcomed. Minutes away from Schooner Cove Marina where our boat is mooraged for the week. Nola and her husband are super friendly and very prompt with their responses to my questions. We extended our stay to check out the area as our potential new home . Would recommend this place for your getaway away in Nanoose Bay.

Female ravelling alone, safety was a priority and I certainly felt safe! The suite is very clean and has all the amenties one needs and more. Enjoyed having coffee pods and the cookies from the generous goodie basket. Nola is very welcoming and approachable. Definitely would ask to book the suite again. Thank you.
