The property sits in a beautiful spot on the water! Everything is as listed! Michelle is a wonderful host and has thought of every detail to make your stay memorable. The kitchen has everything you need to make any kind of meal. The beds are so comfortable and my kids loved the little tent area where they slept. We would definitely stay again!
Place was amazing and Michelle could not have been a better host. Met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house and property. Could not have been a more pleasant experience!
Stay was amazing! The cabin was a fantastic fit for our family, everyone was comfortable and felt welcome. We enjoyed our walks around the property immensely. Thank you to the owners for our memorable stay!
This is our annual Family get away, has been for many years now. It truly is our Happy place A hidden gem. Michelle and Dan are definitely Superhosts, and your everyday needs are all met and then some. From outdoor games, water vessels/ kayaks etc, cooking essentials and comforts of home, privacy and beach access . We absolutely Love it here . Breathtaking views as well . Highly recommended
We had a lovely stay at this unique house, the kayaks, etc. were an added bonus. The house was well stocked with everything you need. It was situated close to the Ferry, easy trip to Cathedral Grove and a nice drive to Victoria. We definitely recommend for families with children.
Accomodations and beachfront location were spectacular! Perfect spot to unwind and chill with the family and Michelle was an excellent host! Use of the kayaks and SUPS and the vests saved us a lot of hauling!
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.
We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the accommodations! In addition to it being a great location and a cozy place, having stayed in many rental properties, this one stands out for its incredibly well outfitted kitchen! Sharp knives, lots of dishes, glasses etc.
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!
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.
We had a really enjoyable stay, thank you. We loved paddling on the bay and lounging on the waterfront. It was so easy to enjoy our time as everything had been thought of and then some. Then home, the property and everything provided is of the highest quality, incredible well taken care of and very clean and comfortable
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!
We had a fantastic stay in a beautiful location
Everything was perfect 😊
Michelle was a very nice landlady and we are happy to be her guest
We hope to come again
When a place is so nice if you don't even want to leave a review because you want it all for yourself! This property was incredible and the owners even more beautiful. Not one detail was missed, it is truly the most perfect place to stay on the island. We can't wait to be back!
Eagles,seals, otters, and herons. It was soooo peaceful
Very relaxing both at the house and down at the beach. We were so grateful that Michelle and Dan shared their little peace of heaven with us!! The best week ever!!
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!
This property was more than we could have imagined! The property is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need. The owners were fabulous. We didn’t even want to leave to discover the rest of the island. Cannot wait to rent this property again!
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.
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.
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.
