There was a little porch with a table for two facing a quiet road. We enjoyed our stay. One suggestion for improvement would be to publish the address on the vbro website. Or, maybe we didn‘t see it.

Chrissy was a great hostess! She answered all communication promptly and was very helpful with local information. She recommended restaurants to eat at and sites to see. We especially enjoyed our visit to the Malaspina Galleries to watch an incredible sunset. Thank you for that information. Thank you also, Chrissy, for your recommendation of dinner at the Surf Lodge restaurant where we were treated to a wonderful meal and an amazing ocean view that included a show put on by a pod of Orcas. We would definitely consider a return visit to this unit.

This is a terrific option for a short stay on Gabriola. The room is smalm (as the listing clearly indicates) but has everything you need. Close the the village but secluded at the end of a cul de sac, with great views of sunsets over Strathcone Park if you stand on tiptoes! Very satisfied!

Unit very small ,do not think it would pass an electrical inspection, has a number of power bars.Can not use the bathroom sink without closing the door. Remote location.
Stayed 1 night in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 18 May, 2026
Thank you for your review. To explain the power bars are there for your convenience and also to aid with power surges as Gabriola experiences more power outages than most other places due to the many trees as we live in a forest and the power lines are above ground. It is a 2 minute drive to our village centre and 3 minute drive to our ferry. Gabriola is indeed a rural community which is why most people visit here. The room is equipped with many day to day amenities for your convenience and with that comes limitations for power as each small appliance would require its own breaker and plug as actual kitchens do hence the precautions of using one small appliance at a time as this is a bedroom and not a full home with a kitchen. This is a bedroom with added amenities and luxuries at a lower price point due to its smaller size. Perhaps as advertised my bigger suite would be better suited for you as it has a kitchenette with all the amenities including dishwasher.

About the host

Hosted by Chrissy Volk

Host profile image
I have lived on beautiful Gabriola Island since 2013. I enjoy the community and getting out into nature on the trails and beaches here. My two children live with me in the home that we built and guests. I am a artist who enjoys working with many mediums.

Why they chose this property

This property is a small gem. Close to amenities yet the trees give it a private feeling and it is very quiet at night as it is on a no thru road. You will hear birds and possibly see deer. Lots of dog walkers on this road as it is quiet with little traffic.

What makes this property unique

You will hear more birds than cars in this neighbourhood, you may even see deer or wild turkeys.
