Nice suite with beautiful ocean views
We couldn't have asked for a nicer suite. The suite is comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen has two nice induction plates and has everything you'll need to make your meals while you are there. Karen and Kito and very nice and their dogs are even better. My son really enjoyed playing with both of the dogs during our stay. When we visit the Sunshine Coast again we will return.

Fantastic
This property was incredible! It checked off all of our boxes, and even the boxes we didn't anticipate. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and I would stay there again next time I'm in the area.

Our son didn't want to leave
We thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent at Karen and Kito's VRBO. They were attentive hosts without being intrusive. They attended to our questions and needs as well as provided very comfortable accommodations. Our son really enjoyed playing with the dogs and the opportunity to roast marshmallows at the propane fire pit (during the fire ban). We are so glad we had the opportunity to enjoy our holiday at their property.

Our son didn't want to leave
Karen and Kito's property is a great place to get away from it all. We especially loved the propane fire pit (that we could use even despite the fire ban). Our son fell in love with their dogs and he enjoyed playing with them so much that he didn't want to leave. The accomodations were spacious and had everything we needed. Karen and Kito were very helpful and attentive without feeling intrusive. Thanks so much for making our holiday so special.

Came for a getaway, stayed for the dogs!
The place is great for a little getaway. It's in a quiet area that's still somewhat central to most places on the south Sunshine Coast. The kitchen was equipped with most things needed to cook a meal. With the current water restrictions, our regular routines had to adapt a little. There were board games to keep us entertained at night. But the highlight for my wife and daughter were the DOGS! Both dogs were cute and fun to play with. Given the choice, my daughter would have just stayed at the house and play with the dogs instead of going out to explore the Coast.

Very clean and comfortable stay!
The property and the owner were lovely. Very cute dogs. The suite was fully equipped and very tidy and the bed was super comfortable. If you have a car the location is perfect, if you’re on foot just be aware it’s not really walking distance to anything but we drove so everything was perfect and convenient :)

Clean and comfortable with a great view!
This was a an amazing property built on a hill with a beautiful ocean view. The suite was very clean and fully equipped with all the kitchen stuff (coffee, spices, cookware). Bed was very comfortable and the room stayed cool even in the middle of July. The two dogs on the property are adorable and fun to watch. Make sure you have a vehicle as town is about 15 minutes down the highway :) Great stay, great home, great host! Very good value as well.

The property located couple kilometers away of HWY101. Really quiet and convenient location. Groceries 10-15 minutes drive. Provincial parks, beaches and point of views are in good shape. People are very friendly. However, without detailed maps tourists have difficulties to navigate, therefore GPS is really helpful. Bottom line, we spent time wisely.

The property is in a beautiful spot and the bedrock in the floor was a beautiful and interesting focal point on the plus side. If you had a mobility challenge it would be difficult as it is necessary to climb the rock in order to open and close the blinds and to reach the microwave oven. We had all we needed (dishes, small fridge, an extra fridge available, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, no stove but two induction burners that were great and easy to use, candles and matches, towels and linens were all lovely) and it was clean and comfortable. A large oak table and chairs in the kitchen to eat at. The driveway was quite steep and parking a bit awkward but not terrible and the warm welcome from our host Karen and her two very friendly dogs was lovely. There was no TV hooked up but there was a monitor available that we hooked up to a loptop to downloaded and watch Netflix episodes. The seating area outside had a spectacular view looking out towards Halfmoon Bay but we did not use it because it was chilly in the evenings in late September. The radiant heat in the floor was really nice as it kept the concrete floor very comfortable underfoot. A cosy rug in the sitting area was nice as well. A cosy chair and throw blankets would be a great addition to the sitting space if you had more than two people occupying the space. We had only two people so each of us had a cosy place to sit and enjoy. Karen and Kito were wonderful, responsive hosts! Highly recommended.
