I had a short stay on Vancouver Island and wanted a relaxing place with a view, and Rick and Julie's place was all that! Lovely little one bedroom with full kitchen, plenty of space to sit and read and look out over the water and the islands. I was there in the summer and the place had great ventilation from the sea breezes. There was a gas fireplace that I didn't use, but I bet it would be a cozy winter time spot too. Rick and Julie were very friendly and I had the chance to sit and talk with them for awhile on their patio and admire their fish pond. I slept really well and felt like I had everything I needed. I hope my travels take me their way again.
