The cottage is exactly as picture, with an even more spectacular view, that is ever changing. Views of Vancouver Island, eagles, seals, tug boats and barges were all a sight to see. Was easy to find the place, right off the main hwy. with a good sized parking area. Has a cute beachy cottage feel on the outside, but the inside is completely modern. When you open the front door, you are greeted immediately with a view that will take your breath away. Looking around, you will see at the front door a couple coat nooks with loads of hangers and hooks, a picnic basket and blanket. Bedrooms are separated by the entrance to provide privacy. Both large enough, with the master having enough room to accommodate a playpen(if you had a young child). The second bedroom with a book shelf had many choices. Beds were very comfortable to sleep on, with soft and firmer pillows provided. The bathroom had body wash, shampoo and conditioner conveniently located in the shower, also a hairdryer. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook a meal. Lots of utensils, knives, even a garlic press, cooking oil, vinegar and balsamic vinegar, ice packs and ice trays in the freezer, a picnic cooler, coffee grinder, paper towels, napkins, both glass and plastic wine glasses for that trip to the hot tub with a nice glass of wine. The sofa was comfortable with throw blankets and a cozy fireplace for that chilly evening in Spring, Fall or Winter. The weather was nice enough, that we were able to sit on the deck and enjoy the view and take a walk on the rocky beach, which would be fun for kids to look under rocks and play safely on shore when the tide is out. This was a girls weekend away for us, but we both agreed that coming with your significant other, two separate couples or a family of 4 would be completely doable, without feeling like you are on top of each other. There was plenty of space in the kitchen for two people and with all the seating areas in the house and the two decks, you would have plenty of space. We were their first guests and can't think of a thing that was missing or we would change. I don't usually book a place without reviews, but we are so glad we did. The owners were such a pleasure to deal with. Quick to respond to any questions, give ideas on things to see and do when we asked and were able to accommodate a special request. Thank you Carolyn, Chris and Kaiden for opening up your home to us.
