It was a fantastic experience overall. Our arrival ferry was delayed and Jacquie waited to greet us at around 10:30 pm. After hearing that our departure ferry doesn't leave until 8 pm, she generously offered to not rent the cottage out on our last day so that we can stay longer. I would rate her a top host simply for these two points.

They own large acreage of land, and the cottage is far way from the owner's house. They have two (?) horses that sometimes walk leisurely on their land, which adds to the charm of this cottage as a relaxing Gulf Island retreat. Her cottage is lovely, cozy and very well equipped. There's large patio space outside the cottage. On a sunny day, it's really nice to hangout on the patio. And the hot tub with picturesque view around is just fantastic! The second floor loft bedroom is an open space bedroom with large windows of great views as well. The Japanese garden is within walking distance, which is tranquil and beautiful. The location is close to Village Bay ferry terminal, and is easy enough to find.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing getaway retreat on Southern Gulf Islands.
