  the owners ware very simpatico and full of hospidelity. We would recommend the condo for friends. The relationship of price and what you get is very good. Helpful is to say which airport is the next to go. its a good place going to tofino.

  Owner response: If you are traveling by air from Vancouver and do not want to travel through Victoria, we would recommend a connecting flight from Vancouver (YVR) to Comox (YQQ). Car rentals are available at the Comox airport. Another great way to travel from Vancouver would be via Harbour Air from Vancouver directly to Comox. There are also daily direct flights from Calgary or Edmonton to Comox airport.

  what a perfect spot. my wife and i (we're both in our 30s) stayed here for two nights and it couldnt have been any better. the location is perfect and the accomodations were just like home. everything seemed very new. it is what we would describe as a "mother-in-law" apartment above the main house. dont be put off by this. it is very private. when making our reservation, we were given a wonderfully descriptive email from the owners with directions to the property, but also with locations of the nearest grocery store and other points of interest, etc. it took all the guesswork out of finding their home and picking up supplies. the views are splendid and the grounds are inviting. the owner took the time to walk us around the property and point out all the little features we may have otherwise missed. a grill was available for our use and patios in front (bay side) and in the back (sound side) we idyllic. inside, the owners have done a fantastic job making available an incredible amount of information on local and semi-local attractions (hiking books, local history books, info pamphlets, etc). if i had to pick one thing that wasnt just right, i would say that the towels were a little scratchy. but honestly, you know a place is fantastic if the only gripe is that the towels are a teensy bit rough. the bed was very comfortable for this picky sleeper. the bathroom and shower were spacious and extremely clean, the kitchen was very well appointed (these two travellers certainly appreciated that the owners compost!), parking was off-street and easy. not only would we (WILL WE is more like it) stay here again, but i've made it abundantly clear to our friends that this is THE place to stay in the area. there is so much to do in this area. if it seems overwhelming, the owners will gladly make some fine suggestions. FIVE STARS! cant wait until we get back there!

  Excellent location for fun - hiking, kayaking, exploring the local towns. Enjoyed stepping outside to take a walk on the beach or swim in the channel. Seals and birds abound. Hosts are perfect - present and helpful whenever needed. Made us feel warmly welcomed and also gave us space and welcome to enjoy all the time on our own that we wished. It was clean, well-maintained and a pleasure to visit. Hope to return one day.

  Superb location and equiped appartment. What could be better than sitting on a balcony having breakfast looking over the harbour onto the mountains behind. In the evening on the other side of the property sitting on the beach watching the sunset? Very well equiped and comfortable and delightful hosts thank you Don and Sharon. The vegetables from your garden were very much appreciated. The local towns nearby are very great for short excursions with lovely bookshops and art galleries. Good walks and Whale watching all within an hour.

  Thank you for a wonderful 2 day stay. We came to relax and rest - we did just that. Your home was perfect for that. Next time we come, we will stay longer and experience more of your beautiful spot on a beautiful island. See you next year! Thanks for everything.

  We had so much fun exploring the area. Some of our favorite spots included Englishman River Falls with it's beautiful scenery, Coombs with its old time market feel, and Horne Lake Caves....great for our adventurous side. We really appreciated your hospitality. Thanks again.

  Thank you so much. You have been so kind, generous and helpful We have so enjoyed our stay. You made the area come alive to us and we leave better able to see what was previously invisible to us, Having you two as hosts has enriched our experience of Vancouver Island and Deep Bay. Our guided tour of the low tide area was fabulous. Thank you for everything
