The place is wonderful, with lots to do around it.Just be aware that bathroom amenities are minimal...just hand soap. Bring your own tissue, shampoo etc.. there seems to be an ample supply of towels though. Make sure you check out the front hall closet for pool and beach supplies (towels, folding chairs).

The location was ideal for our holiday. We visited the beach, went whale watching and visited relatives in Qualicum Beach. The house had everything we needed and was spotless. The kitchen was well-stocked so we had all the dishes, cooking utensils, glasses, pots & pans, etc we needed for meals. The area is lovely, beautiful vegetation and we enjoyed seeing the rabbits.

What a lovely, well appointed cottage. We've stayed in the area every year for over a decade and we enjoyed this stay the best! That's saying a lot. On top of the great location, stylish furnishings and well stocked kitchen, we particularly appreciated the 11:00 am check out which had us enjoying the last day of our vacation as much as we did the first! Many thanks, we look forward to returning again.

Great location! Plenty of room and a very comfortable, clean cottage. The beds were also very comfortable and the loft bedroom and ensuite were perfect for our teenager! I would definitely stay again and recommend the cottage to anyone looking for accommodation for a larger group in that area.

The TV was absolutely terrible. We are seniors and do not use apps to watch TV. We like cable TV. We pay enough for our stay and should get real TV(cable). Also, the tube is extremely high and the telephone shower must have 7 ft tall. Real problem reaching it. No bars to help getting in and out of the tub. That is dangerous so hop this helps for future renters.

Very disappointing that the gas fireplace was out of service and I had requested a complete listing of everything provided in the kitchen but didn't receive one so I brought many items that it turned out were provided. Found it difficult to find the unit as you can't see the cabin numbers in the dark.
