Beautiful home away from home

Jen's home has everything you need ...fully equipped kitchen, games to play, books to read, high quality bath and beach towels. We explored a few different beaches and walked through Cathedral forest and explored Little Qualicum Falls ... It was beautiful. Many dining options are nearby. We are definitely going to visit again and would love to return to Jen's home.

Beautiful Home Away from Home

The Strand was welcoming from the moment we opened the door. Bright, beautifully furnished, comfortable places to sit and rest, great views, and all the ammenities needed for a young family. All the details are thought of, nice message on kitchen board, little printer to make your mark with a photo, guest book stories, small details but show care for the guests. The coffee was readily available two ways and for two parents that run on coffee that was a great touch. The resort has all the extras needed. Took advantage of the pools and community grill. Would recommend this place to anyone and if ever in the area would definitely stay again. Thank you for providing the home base for great memories on the island.
