Not a private hideaway...Tenants rent the suite below and run a business from the home called VIBE. Busy spot unless you complain ...very noisy when they decide to pack up and take out clients...at 5::35 am.THE 250 mbps WIFI is more like 45 to 72 mbps , we testedNo cell service for us ...at all.No cleaning until I complained to owner on last day ( 14 days no cleaning )Reservation was for 37 nights ...got sick ...owner kept telling us he wanted us out ...left owing us 23 nights ...Owner was rude and disrespectful from the get go ...the whole process was a nightmare with the owner right from the start of the booking, he would not give us our money back and he didn't want us to come either . It was mindboggling to say the least and we are so happy to be home .We need VRBO to contact us and review this case .

Lovely house in great setting. It is well equipped throughout. There is an onsite care-taker but this was not an issue for us at all. Be aware that the downstairs bedroom does not have any windows, although it does lead off the games room which has large windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, amazing house, yard and beach. Really fun to see the interesting critters at low tide. Fun to see the wildlife in the yard! Look for the name “Rabbit Cove”on the gate on your way in. We passed the place a couple of times because we were not sure it was the right place. There were people downstairs in a separate apartment.The kitchen was great, the only thing we could not find was a coffee grinder. There is a glass door and a glass wall in the bedroom downstairs - if someone is sleeping on the couch downstairs, there is a lack of privacy. Adding a curtain or two would aid in privacy.We loved the deck and the fireplace! We especially appreciated being able to use the art desk.

A very nice stay

Beautifully situated with great unobstructed views. Beds are comfortable. Nice kitchen and appliances. Fire pit and hot tub. Great wraparound deck. For a special dinner don’t miss Mahle house! We suggest you check household staples before going to market.

Senior Friends trip

Place is beautiful a great whale watching location. However somewhat remote and had very poor phone and internet connections. Also had full time live in people down stairs in same home. Could hear them and they had late night guests that rang our door bell and woke us up. The downstairs bedroom had no heat.

Awesome Rental

Wonderful property! It is not too far from town, has excellent beach access, is very private, and the house was so lovely! The shower in the master bathroom is incredible! We loved the basement and pool table. The grill, hot tub, beach access, and house were clean and very well-maintained. What more could we ask for? An awesome vacation! Thank you so much, and we will stay again.

Ultimate comfort, beauty, and relaxation!

Everyone, in our group of six, agreed staying at this beautiful spot was the highlight of our trip. The kitchen was big and well equipped. The bathrooms were clean and spacious and so ideal that there were 3. And the steam shower in the master was a treat! To be honest we didn’t even use all of the space. We spent a majority of our time hanging out on the deck watching the boats navigate the currents. We also loved exploring the beach. So much awesome driftwood and shells. Another favorite was a local restaurant called Crow and Gate. It was a wonderful experience. They offer delicious food in the most beautiful garden atmosphere. We will definitely recommend Wayne’s place and cannot wait to return someday.

We’ll be back!

The view is just gorgeous. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck by the fire in the mornings and evenings, just enjoying the peaceful quiet and wildlife (bunnies, deer, birds). The layout of the house was ideal to give everyone a bit of privacy and their own bathrooms. Wayne was responsive and helpful.

Probably the perfect oceanside getaway

Wayne's property is a gem. Private, modern, well maintained, and definitely a nice get-away for friends. We had all the amenities to cook our own food, and it's central enough for quick trips to the Raptors sanctuary in Duncan or up to Parksville. And groceries via Instacart. Would very much recommend. 5/5 if the hot tub was working.

What an amazing weekend!

From the photos and description alone, this place checked off all the boxes for my group of friends and me. However, being there in person, everything was beyond my expectations. The property was very secluded, and it felt like you had been transported to a private island. We love how big this property is, and the private access to the beach below is definitely a major plus. Wayne was super nice and very responsive to all my messages and requests. We only wish we could stay here for a few more days! 10/10. Definitely would love to come back in the near future! Thanks again for the amazing weekend.

Beautiful weekend girls get away location! The house is stunning and the kitchen has everything you need an more! Had a hard time finding the wifi password (we did eventually find it - one of the black binders in the cupboard in the kitchen across from the fridge). Messaged the host asking for the password and never heard back from him...

Amazing property and great accommodation!

The property was clean and the views were great, even better than the pictures. We also enjoyed the beach access. We asked to have a small beach fire and the host agreed as the weather was cool. The hot tub had a fuel pump issue but the host communicated this and even surprised us with an extra night stay to accommodate. The house fit our 8 friends perfectly. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Wayne!
