This property became available just before we were to begin our trip to Vancouver Island. As there were no reviews, we decided to take a chance based solely on the pictures. We all agree that this rental greatly exceeded out high and optimistic expectations. We would very much like to be return in the future. Our three days were indeed a very restful experience.
The house has a clean, modern interior decor, comfortable beds and linens, and is complemented by wonderful views. From the deck we saw an eagle, a seal, and two young raccoons sleeping in the nearby trees.
Botanical Beach is a couple miles drive. Getting there requires a .7 km hike from the parking lot, through a dark forest. Avatar Grove is a must visit, reachable with a moderate hike of about .6 km.
We ate at the local pub and had two good meals there. Favorites include the clam chowder and the salmon burger.
The description noted that power outages may occur and we experienced one lasting about 3-4 hours in the late afternoon to early evening. I think I would bring a battery pack for my CPAP machine.
Highly recommended by us.
