Beautiful Getaway spot Fantastic accommodation

Visited with my husband & 18yr old child. We had a wonderful stay, Michelle was the perfect host. Quick response to questions or requests. Fantastic outdoor spaces especially for guest use. The most comfy beds and a very well equipped kitchen. Location is spectacular, easy beach & water access, you can walk for miles around the shoreline. We will be back.

Wonderful Hosts and Hideaway

We had a wonderful time and couldn't have asked for better hosts! The property was gorgeous and the location was perfect. Highly recommend for a stay on Vancouver Island... close to all the great activities or just staying in and combing the beach and cooking dinner. Pool table was great, internet connection was flawless too. Thank you for a fantastic vacation!

Seahaven Cottage holiday

My family and I loved our stay at Seahaven Cottage. Michelle welcomed us right away and continued to make sure we had what we needed throughout our stay. We loved the cottage. It was just right for four people. Very special property with all the amenities needed for a peaceful relaxing vacation to enjoy the nature of Vancouver Island.

Summer getaway

The property is stunning and the cabin is exceptionally welll equipped. It was a perfect getaway for our family, amazing to have the kayaks and stand up paddleboards, indoor and outdoor games, and the ability to walk right over to the ocean in just a few steps. The hosts are kind and available for questions. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect

Our family of 4 had the best time here! The luxurious cottage was spectacular (beautiful architecture and had everything we needed). We loved exploring the tidal pools, using the kayaks/SUP, watching wildlife (eagles, cats, otters, starfish, etc), and relaxing while watching the beautiful sunsets. We loved it so much, we almost want to keep it as our secret!

The perfect Vancouver Island spot!

My wife and I had high expectations coming in, but this cabin exceeded all we imagined. The location was ideal for exploring the island, the cabin itself was impeccably clean and stocked with anything you’d ever need, Michelle was responsive and friendly as can be, and the patio facing the Bay became our nightly ritual as we would down every night. I can’t imagine finding a better spot.

Quiet Waterfront Relaxation

Right from the get-go communication was great and prompt with Michelle and our directions to the property were clear and concise. When we got to the property it was exactly as advertised and extremely clean. We enjoyed the well stocked interior, but with the fabulous oceanfront just steps away and the weather being glorious we spent a lot of time checking out the tide pools along the kilometres of rocky oceanfront at low tide and the waterfront patio at high tide. Sea lions were regular visitors along the shoreline, and bald eagles perched over the property while we took in the ocean views from the patio. A very relaxing vacation was had.

Top VRBO experience

We have stayed at vacation rentals all over the world and this was easily one of the best. From Michelle's warm and welcoming hospitality to the impressive house and first class amenities, this truly exceeded all our expectations.The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you might need, the beds are super comfy, the house is charmingly furnished and built to high spec. Also the pool table kept our family of four entertained when we had some down time, which was such a nice bonus. We also loved having the use of the kayaks and paddle boards and enjoyed some beautiful sunset paddles. The private sitting/lounge area down by the water was the perfect spot to sit and have our morning coffee and take in the amazing ocean views.Overall, we cannot recommend this place enough, and we can't wait to return.
