My first VRBO experience, and a very positive one

I wanted to be in the Duncan area to connect with a couple of friends in the area. The reviews, price, and location all aligned with what I was looking for. The VRBO suite was comfortable, clean, with all that I needed. The garden area outside the suite was a plus. Berta's directions and text messages were clear and helpful. I highly recommend this place. JD

Berta was a wonderful host for myself, my friend and my 2-year-old. We appreciated the quiet, private suite and the garden view! The space was cozy, comfortable and well-organized. It is close enough to downtown to have many options for dining and shopping, but far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The host, Berta, was so hospitable. The accommodations were impeccably clean, the soaking tub was wonderful, so much detail was put into the apartment. The garden was beautiful, peaceful and was so enjoyable watching the hummingbirds during the day and hearing the frogs at night. It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to do. Would love to stay here again if visiting Vancouver Island.

The owners are wonderful people who are very accommodating and have though of everything you need for a lovely stay in Duncan. Every time i thought I'd need something I'd just look in a drawer or cupboard and it was already there. The garden and surroundings are so beautiful, and it's a quiet neighborhood so you'll have a peaceful stay. I'll stay here every time i visit if it's available.

A cosy place in Duncan

We were quite lucky to find Berta's place available in the height of summer. I think it's the best location to get to most tourist spots in the island. Berta is the ultimate host trying to accommodate our needs and more. Only hiccup was when we shopped for dinner to cook and found out there's no full kitchen! But that's my bad for not really reading the details of the kitchenette. This place is for those who don't really want to cook as there's no full on kitchen with stove and sink. We had to wash out dishes in the bathroom sink. But we had a good night's rest, which is what's important for our trip! The airconditiong in also made us all comfortable after spending the day out in the sun! Thank you, Berta!
