Great stay!
This was a great unit—the bedrooms were spacious, as was the living area, and the kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked with everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Quite quaint
This space is just as advertised- roomy, clean, and comfy. The two bedrooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Even though this unit is not on the coast line it’s in a very convenient location and we did get great sunsets out the big windows. The host, Sharon, was responsive and I would definitely stay there again.

Lots of space!
We really enjoyed our stay for two days. We had an issue with the tv and it was fixed right away. Having the kitchen and laundry was a great bonus. Thank you!

Great place
This is a nice, basic place to stay. Very clean with all the things you might need. The host was amazing and fast to respond. The location is great as it’s close to the Spit and not far from the downtown area. However you can hear road noise and floatplanes taking off, so bring earplugs.
