Me and my friends loved the place so much! Ms. Erica is so easy to reach too. The place was spotless, the aesthetic, the ambiance and the location SUPERB! When we entered the house you could only hear “wow” from us. We love to cook and the kitchen has everything we need! It's like we never left home. It's definitely the place that you want to go home to after going out for the whole day. We would definitely book again!

Haven By The Sea - 2BDRM Ocean Front - New Reno AC

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews2 weeks ago

Randy and Barb’s home was absolutely perfect. The condo is beautifully decorated and it’s even more lovely than the photos. The view is unmatched. We watched the tide come in and out each day. The peaceful water views are a dream. We usually visit Florida each year and this year we wanted to stay in Canada. My family had a fabulous time and we can’t wait to come back. Our three year old loved the playground and the kids hot tub that had a slide! Endless fun. The resort has a delicious restaurant, a spa, trails and kayaks. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Randy and Barb!

We had a great stay. Loved the wood stove and the hot tub situated in a mossy forest. Zoran was very helpful with getting to gambier and provided great suggestions of places to see with the golf cart. Was very responsive if had questions. Beautiful island and loved sitting on the dock admiring the view and the seals.

Qualicum Landing Family Cottage - 3bd/2 bath

5 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviews6 months ago

Kate was very responsible about staying in touch with us and quickly resolving any small issues that came up - such as the replacement of lightbulbs that needed a ladder to reach! Marc was their handy man and he was kind and helpful as well!The house was perfect for two couples - including heated floors in both bathrooms! Both beds were very comfortable!There is a seperate room with workspace and a pull out couch. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware, kitchen tools and everything one would need. The back patio has a barbeque and nice seating around a table wilth a gas warming fire in the center. The home is in a sweet private gated community. Rt. 19-A runs along the backside of the property- seperated by a tall wooden fence and a few trees. The patio could be noisy at times. The rocky beach on the property is lovely - it was too far for my husband to access easily. The spot would be perfect for families and walkers. I enjoyed walking there! Thanks so much Kate!

This was an incredible space for our family to spend time together during the holidays. It was a short 2 minute walk to the beach with incredible views! We saw seals each time we visited the beach. The house was very clean, modern and comfortable. We loved having enough bedrooms for each of our children to have their own space and the common spaces were large and comfortable for everyone as well. Loved it!

Affordable Seaside Getaway~Pool/Hot Tub/Dock

4.75 out of 5 average rating, 48 reviews8 months ago

Loved staying in this beautiful area. The pool and hot tub right next to the ocean were the cherry on top. Tammy’s place was very clean. Felt cleaner than most hotels we’ve been to. Her instructions were crystal clear and we had zero issues accessing the condo and the amenities. Our only feedback; we were missing our creamer in the morning for our coffee. There’s a chance it was there but we didn’t find it! Other than that, we loved it and highly recommend!
