Susan's home is beautiful and serene. The suite is newly renovated/decorated and everything is very new, clean and relaxing. There is a private BBQ and gazebo area for Suite 2 guests, along with plenty of little areas on the back walkway with a waterview for boat watching, early morning breakfasts, or just quiet times with a book. When Poet's Cove marina has live music performances, you can catch the concert from the comfort of this suite - it's located directly across the cove. Suite 1 is located next to Suite 2 but both suites have their own private spaces (ie. BBQs, lounging tables/areas, parking) so you don't really notice anyone else there. The walk-in shower is so relaxing and spacious - it looks like there are jets installed but are not functional yet. There is a hot tub that is available in the winter time but not the summer time due to water conservation agreements with the residents of the area since they share three wells. There is a pull-out couch in the main sitting area if you are travelling with a friend and don't wish to share the comfy King bed. You can enjoy the interesting artwork in the sitting area while watching the boats cruise by. There is a private beach access so if you have your own kayak/SUP you could probably load directly from the home; however there isn't an actual dock yet - perhaps something in the making.
One morning I was able to see hummingbirds visit the backyard garden and there are also plenty of deer that roam the island. The hosts live upstairs so they are easily accessible if needed but they stay out of your way. Susan is very communicative via Airbnb messaging and gave us some great tips on where to eat and places to visit on the island. One thing to note - the network on Pender Islands can be spotty in some areas, so we appreciated Susan's suggestion to download an offline map of the islands beforehand in case the data disconnected - it really came in handy! The wifi at Susan's home is a bit slow at times so we took the opportunity to disconnect from social media and just enjoy the natural surroundings. If you are looking for a place to unwind and destress, this is the place to be! She is working on some more additions to the property so I'm sure this already amazing property is going to be even better.
