    Very pleasant stay. It would have gotten 10 out of 10, if we hadn't had noisy neighbors.

    The place has two units that are rented out. Unfortunately we were there at the same time as a family with smaller children, one of which was crying and screaming quite a bit. Usually we don't mind this (as we have kids ourselves), but the walls are far from sound proof and we were woken at 6am. Not something we were looking for while being on vacation. So if you prefer your peace and quiet, I'd wouldn't recommend this suite. Unless you book both units. ;-)

    The view was absolutely amazing. It doesn't get better than this. The rooms were very clean and everything one could need was available. We were running late for check-in, but the owner was very flexible and didn't mind we arrived shortly before 10pm. He was easy to communicate with.

    We had an excellent stay! The hosts were truly amazing; friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. The bathroom was equally clean and well-maintained, stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated the great hospitality, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, outstanding service, and amazing views.

    Nothing. Everything was sensational and beyond expectations.

    Absolutely stunning. The room is huge, with king size bed, 2 sitting chairs, a walk- in kitchenette (fridge, coffee maker, microwave, cutlery and plates etc everything you mightneed) and hanging space and a massive bathroom. Two sinks, bathtub and a shower that could fit 4 people!! Floor to ceiling glass windows look our over the water from Nanaimo and Pipers lagoon, full 180 degree views. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. They even did a load of washing for us! The room has a digital lock so you know your stuff is safe. Incredibly quiet and relaxing. Got to spot a few whales off the balcony whilst enjoying home made delicious breakfast that was excellent value for only $10 pp. You need to have a car to get up to the house as it is high up but it's definitely worth it . We honestly felt like we were in luxury for the 2 nights. Fully recommend this wonderful accommodation to everyone. We would most definitely stay here again.

    Nothing we love it !

    This was our 2nd stay here and it’s was just as wonderful. We stayed for 8 nights in June 25 The view alone both day and night is incredible and is why we returned The apartment is very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Washing machine /dryer very handy The host Charles is very kind and we had no issues with privacy or noise ( the family live above the apartment) It’s a great base for exploring the middle part of the island but you definitely need a car

    Charles was the perfect host. The accommodation was amazing, the views are the best in the world, together with the Hummingbird, Deer and Bald Eagles. Clean, comfortable and so relaxing after a hard day's travel.

    We had a large apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. The view was stunning and we enjoyed a nice breakfast on the patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Check in and check out were easy and communication with the staff was great. We highly recommend staying here and will certainly stay here again in the future
