We stayed at Michelle’s place for a week at the end of July and it was perfect for our family of 5. The open living/kitchen/dining area plus the large deck was great for relaxing/cooking/eating together. Being up on a hill, it was very quiet and peaceful. We had deer come into the year a couple of times while we were cooking dinner. And the peak-a-boo views of the ocean from the deck made for a great view when sitting outside – we were even able to see the Vancouver Celebration of Light fireworks (very very small of course, but pretty neat to be able to see it). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the kids enjoyed the additional space downstairs with Netflix for relaxing in the evenings or playing games. Michelle was a great host. We had never been to the island before, and she provided great tips and ideas of what to do and see around the island during our stay. She was very easy to get in-touch with as well. Thanks for allowing us the use of your house Michelle! I’m sure we’ll be back again in the future.
