We’ve stayed here before because we love it so much. Great location in a beautiful part of SSI, close to the best beach on the island. Beautiful clean condo, with lots of light and lovely patio. Elena the owner is great. We’ve already booked it again for next summer.

Second Time

There are several condo units available in this building via VRBO. They all have their own charms - for this one it’s the umbrella on the deck and the comfortable couch!

Trip with friends

Traveling with friends from Alberta to Vancouver island and back again.We loved our stay here and had pretty much everything we needed. Accomodations were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. If you are staying more than one night you'll have to bring your own kitchen garbage bags as these are not provided.

The place was very nice. Unfortunately there was a lock (that needed a key) door for the master bedroom and my 6year old accidentally locked it from the inside. We were locked out of the room all night Becasue there was no spare key for it. We had to wait until morning and the owner was not very understanding about it. I would hope after this incident she will change that door handle for safety reasons. I don’t think there is any reason that they should have a door with a lock that one cannot open in case of an emergency.
