Very sweet little cabins. Lovely property. Not too far to get to a beach. For staying in the summer, though, I do wish there were screens on the windows. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Very nice little cottage, clean and comfortable. I would suggest trying to add another comfortable chair in the living room area as the couch is very small for 2 adults - and we are below average size

I was travelling solo in the Southern Gulf Islands and stayed 2 nights at Driftwood Village. My room had everything I needed. I was travelling by foot, so the distance to shops and the ferry was perfectly manageable. Tue room is cozy and the bed is very comfortable. It rained while I was tied, so I was not able to enjoy relaxing on my cute patio or in the beautiful garden areas. For nature lovers,

This is an older property in a nice area with pretty grounds. Our unit had a tiny kitchen which was a little hard to maneuver in, but it was workable. Communication was good as far as instructions to do self check-in.

Atmosphere. Love the cozy cabin feel with the fire place. Good selection of wood as well. What I didn’t like was I found dirty Kleenex under the bed. Also there is carpet in the cabin which I felt was dirty.

Beautiful property with cottages in desperate need of renovation. It looks like nothing has been updated since the 80’s. Screens on the windows and sliding door would be a big improvement. Communication via text was excellent and the extra coffee packets were very much appreciated. Advice to bring bottled water was right on!

We arrived early at 10:30am and contacted Heather. She had the room ready for us in half an hour, so no need to wait till 3 pm to check in. The property was quiet. Sitting on the balcony and listened to music in the morning was my favorite. We had the cabin with 2 rooms. Living room and the 2 rooms were decent size. The kitchen has everything you need to make breakfast and small meals. WiFi is solid. Only negative is hot water kind of runs at night, but I believe that's common on the island.
