So glad you enjoyed your stay. It is a pleasure to have you stay! Staying at our place so close to the ocean is so therapeutic…Thanks again for your booking! Carol
Loved our stay at Carol’s place! Traveling with a young child and senior parents, I chose this place for the proximity to the beach, ease of access and included wagon and beach toys! The wagon was definitely a life saver during low tide. My little girl also loved seeing the bunnies in the backyard every day :) The place was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Carol is also a wonderful host who was quick to respond to any questions or issues. Thanks again for a great stay!

These are great guests that any host would be lucky to have.
Cool lower level unit in a peaceful setting just a short walk from the beach. Has a nice little lawn for the kids to play in. We had a great time using this as our home base with two young kids. Carol was very kind and helpful as a host. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Our second stay here, Very comfortable, well equipped and just a short walk to the beach. It has everything one could wish for in a vacation home. Just a lovely place to spend a holiday.
The place was just as described and was in an amazing location. We loved the deck and enjoyed using it both in the mornings and during the evenings. The beach was wonderful and we lucked out having great weather for our entire stay!

This property is perfect for a family of four like ours. We had all we needed and wanted. So comfortable. It has access to the beach and the park next door. Easy to get to grocery stores and many options for restaurants. The owner is friendly and pays attention to details.
Always a great place to stay. The beach is a quick 2 minute walk away and the accommodations have everything you need. Always look forward to coming back each year.

We stayed at Carol's vacation rental in June 2025. The location was amazing with great access to the beach and driving distance to loads of child friendly activities. Carol was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for our two children. The place was fantastic and has everything you'd want to cook! Thanks again Carol!

Jordan and family- you were a dream come true for any host. I’m so glad you had a great time and enjoyed our place.Thank you for taking such good care of everything and being so pleasant to communicate with!
This property is amazing! So clean, extremely quiet. The decor is beautiful and the beds and bedding are so comfortable. They have every appliance, pots and pans to cook whatever is you like. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The green space out front is a nice touch, with added bunnies that come to say hello, our kids loved that. We even had an owl pay us a visit right outside the front window.

From the minute we walked in the door, we loved our stay! The beds were super comfortable, we had loads of space, were less than 5 minutes walk from the water, and Carol was available the whole time we were there just in case we needed anything. Can't say enough good things about this place!

We had such a lovely stay! The unit was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything we could need, including beach toys, chairs, and a wagon to tote them around in.
Would definitely recommend this property and look forward to visiting again.
A very well appointed property with very serene surroundings. A short walk to the beach was the next best thing to being directly on the water. We look forward to our next stay!

About the host
Hosted by Carol Yakiwchuk
We (Terry and Carol) are a fun-loving couple with a thirst for appreciatively living each day to the fullest. When we're not on the West Coast, we're busy creating wonderful memories with our children and grandchildren and connecting with family and friends. We love the great outdoors and especially enjoy fishing, hiking, and travel. Terry has a gift for building and creating organized spaces for people; Carol has a real passion and commitment to working toward health equity for vulnerable populations, volunteering with key organizations such as Special Olympics where she serves as a clinical director and regional advisor, and the Canadian Society for Disability and Oral Health, serving as a director.
Why they chose this property
We love being at the ocean ~ there's something about being near the water that really nourishes our souls! It gives us such a sense of peace and connection with the natural world, and is just so restful and restorative for us. Purchasing this property and creating a unique, relaxing, and luxurious home away from home for us and our guests has been such a pleasure and a real dream come true. There's just no place like it for a tranquil get-away for us ~ we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Island life is such a refreshing change from the busyness of urban life and traffic! Flourishing with greenery and amazing ocean and forest experiences, the area can be as tranquil or as busy as you want it to be. There's numerous little towns to explore, great restaurants, and very interesting tourist attractions to experience. We think its the perfect place to enjoy whale watching, salmon fishing, and beach-combing. Cathedral Grove, a short drive away, is a jewel beyond compare with its walking trails through a forest of huge old growth Douglas Fir and Cedar. There's also a wealth of very gifted artists on the Island, such as Red Cod Forge, Affinity Jewelry, and interesting museums like the Old School House in Qualicum Beach to visit. Seafood - fresh and so delicious at so many locations!
