Full Kitchen is available. We made our own breakfast and were able to catch early ferry to Gabriola island. Fantastic view from the oversized room. My dad spent whole afternoon sat in the chair and enjoyed the view. Very very clean!

Beautiful suite, just like home . The owners have thought of everything. I had the Marriott booked for a work trip but found this at last minute and was excited to be the first guest in their brand new suite. They were half the price of the local hotels with 10x the value and comfort ! The short trail walk to Westwood lake couldn’t be more perfect to relax at after long day, they even provided everything you could need for a beach day (chairs , towels) these owners thought of everything little detail to make the accommodation perfect ! It was an amazing accommodation and I have rebooked 4 more trips and rearranged my schedule to stay here, looking forward to my next visit! Congratulations to the owners on a job well done , I know you will see years of 10 outa 10 reviews !!! I’m giving you a 12 outa 10 . See you soon Josh

This accommodation was great. The area was so quiet while we were there. It was easy to get to and close to the city and ferry. It had a peakaboo view of the ocean as well. The house was well supplied with everything you could need.

5-Star Review I had an incredible stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The unit was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect retreat. The large kitchen was fully equipped, making meal prep a breeze, and the deep tub was a dream for relaxing after a long day. The fresh sheets and comfortable bed made for a great night’s sleep. But the highlight? The breathtaking ocean views—absolutely stunning! Waking up to that view every morning was magical. The hosts were also fantastic—responsive and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious stay. My new home away from home. Can’t wait to return!
