We have experienced several unique and breathtaking AIRBNB accommodations all over the world including several countries throughout Europe and this one in our own backyard has to be our favourite.
When you drive onto the property you will notice well manicured gardens and landscaped lawns. As soon as you open the front door you will be wowed by the sweeping water views perfectly framed by the large picturesque windows. You'll begin to notice the designer finishings and furniture and realize this is not just your typical AIRBNB. The way the property is stocked and furnished it doesn't feel like you renting a short-term accommodation from a stranger. This accommodation feels more like a good friend or family member has leant you their summer home for the week. The layout is perfect to entertain your group. You have unobstructed water views with a backdrop of mountains from every room. The the children will be well entertained with the fully outfitted recreation room downstairs and they will love the wood burning fire pit (firewood, kindle, newspaper, metal skewers to roast marshmallows all provided). At night you'll be able to clearly see the stars, constellations, and the occasional shooting stars.
We celebrated my wife's 35th birthday here and the setting on the back patio could not have been more perfect. We used Truffles Catering and they were the perfect choice of local fare and well-trained staff. There are string lights surrounding the patio and outdoor blankets provided so we were able to enjoy our dinner and drinks outdoors until later in the night.
The location was perfect and convenient. We personally didn't drive longer than 15 minutes to get anywhere. Multiple grocery stores and restaurants are an 8 minute drive away. Ed Macgregor Park was only 8 minutes away as well and the children and adults really enjoyed crabbing off the dock. You can buy bait and traps from Crab Shack Sportfishing nearby - they also sell fresh and frozen seafood if your crabbing is not successful. We recommend going for a sunset stroll at Whiffin Spit which is a scenic coastline trail where you can see various shorebirds and seals (8 minute drive). If you are looking for a relaxing time we highly recommend CloverCare Massage which is only a 7 minute drive away. They were able to accommodate 8 of us and the masseuses (although all not RMT's) were very very good and the ambiance was very relaxing and unique with green and luscious gardens. Some in our group went for a round of golf at Bear Mountain Resort which is 45 minutes away and raved how beautiful the course and greens were.
Thank you Marylou for sharing this incredible property with us. The property and details were well thought out and allowed for some unforgettable memories. We've already booked our next stay and are looking forward to it!
