This home is located on a semi private street which means there isn't a lot of traffic on this road. The shore line near the house is gorgeous for morning walks. I thoroughly enjoyed the walks with my dogs in the morning and night. Its absolutely safe in a residential area. There is private parking for 2 cars at this house. It's a newly renovated or remodeled house. Vicky (host) is very responsive and gets back to you almost instantly especially once you are checked in. I needed help with a few things and she responded right away. We were allowed to bring in 2 dogs of ours. She was very nice to have kept dog bowls, Pet food & a packet of Milkbones for our puppies. There was a bottle of wine, bottles of water and some snacks for us. We dont drink but if we did then it would have been a perfect view to have a drink. On our last day we were late to check out and Vicky was kind enough to accomodate. We wanted to stay an extra night but the cleaning lady wasn't available to clean the next day prior to arrival of next guest so we weren't able to stay an extra night even though Vicky was fine with it. Plan ahead if your calendar is a bit flexible. Here are a few pro's & cons with the place
Pros:
- House was clean
- Almost everything in the house is functional. nothing was broken
- There is a small gym in the house which is very useful
- Home has nest, google speaker & security system in case you need it
- Views are absolutely stunning
- Check in process is easy, you get a code and you key in that code into the key lock. Pain free and simple
- There are tonnes of plates, bowls, cooking utensils, glasses cups,, etc etc so you dont have to eat from plastic utensils incase if you get take outs everyday like we did
Cons:
- There are a few very good restaurants near by, though Quebec City or old Quebec City is 24 minutes away. Keep a note of that.
- The Hot Tub has two sections. One thats large and one thats small. The large one seemed like it was never cleaned and the small one seems it was but it gets cleaned only on Thursday's. So beware of that. When I opened the cover of the tub, the water had a lot of bugs that i had to fish out. We enjoyed it but not thoroughly as the water PH seemed out of wack.
- The lawn seemed to have been out grown and wasnt mowed in a week or so.
- Property is non smoking but there were Cig butts around the house with some around the hot tub. But please note, it seemed that no one smoked inside the house so its good.
We will book again but will confirm about the hot tub in advance. For us that was the selling feature of the place and of course the view.
