If you have a dog that you like to travel with, this is the place for you! Dog bed, dog dish, dog treats were all available. It even came with a strong aroma of wet dog smell. Extra amenities such as coffee pods, tea and sugar were appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped to cook a gourmet meal or bake an elaborate desert. The bidet toilet seat was entertaining and the hot tub looked brand new and well maintained. The cottage was very tidy when we arrived.

It was a great place to stay after long roadtrips around Nanaimo! There was the secret trail to the beach. Woooow! Totally worth it to stay in.

Very well-appointed kitchen and home. Spacious. Full decks with many seating options to chase the sun or shade throughout the day. It's was blackberry season, so that was a fun activity with the kids. 10 min walk to boat landing, and an AMAZING hot tub. We had a great family stay.

The pictures don’t do it justice, this was a really lovely cottage. You can see the water from the patio, and the beach down the street is a lovely place to relax!
