This home easily accommodated six of us for a family gathering. The location is convenient. We did a lot of cooking, the open concept meant we could all visit while cooking and playing board games, etc. The 2 king beds and one queen are really comfortable. The driveway is steep but allows you to drive right through without having to back out. We would definitely recommend this home.

The property was lovely and provided everything we needed. Having 2 king beds was great especially for the kiddos who like to be close by. Very clean and comfortable like our own home.Will try to book again when we visit nanimo next time.

We had a lovely time at this house. Super clean, super central to all the things we wanted to do (beach, hikes, etc). Well stocked kitchen, huge soft beds and all the necessary amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc). Quiet property and the kitchen/living room faces a quiet green forest. Craig and Tricia were very easy to get a hold of. My daughters and I had a relaxing time!

Wonderful

My family stayed for 5 days and had a wonderful experience. The home was clean, quiet, and comfortable — exactly as described, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect: peaceful yet close to shops, walking trails, and the ocean. The host was responsive and check-in was smooth. I felt right at home and would definitely stay here again. This was my first time booking a house over a hotel and I am so glad i did.

Good space for a large group.

Big rooms and living space. Comfy beds and good size kitchen. Overall a nice space. Two small complaints were the second toilet was out of order and the recycling was completely full and hadn’t been emptied.

Where’s the bbq.

The location is good. The rooms are large and comfortable with plenty of space for all of us. The downside the advertised Barbecue was old and rusty and there was no propane. Pivot a planned dinner

2 week stay

The property could use some tlc. The drive way was very steep and difficult to park in. The back porch had boards coming up, needed repairs, and was dirty. The kitchen pans needed to be replaced and there was only 1 dish towel. We were disappointing. Location was good and communication was great.
