This was a terrific place to spend a few days. The listing pictures don't do justice to how pleasant it really is- the windows looking out on the water give a feel of almost being on a boat. Sue, the host, was welcoming and helpful at directing us to local resources. The cabin is quiet and well kept, with good amenities in the kitchen. It didn't hurt that we had spectacularly good fall sunshine for our entire stay, and beautiful sunrises.It's an ideal spot for a couple. There is really not room for more but it's perfect for a couple's getaway. The most pleasant Vrbo we have stayed in by far. Zero criticisms. We hope to be back.
The area beneath the cabin- there is plentiful seating and a covered swing.

I can confidently say this was by far the best rental experience I’ve had to date. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning views and the thoughtful personal touches that make this cottage feel incredibly special.The multi-tiered seating area overlooking the water is just brilliant. The decor throughout the cottage is tasteful and charming, clearly put together with care, and adds so much character to the space.One of the absolute highlights for me was the access to kayaks and paddle boards! Such a fun way to explore the water and create some unforgettable adventures. It’s not every day you find a rental that offers both beauty and activities like this included.This place is a gem, and one I won’t soon forget. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and adventure-filled getaway.

Amazing Stay

Its truly a luxury experience. This place has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and more. The location near the water is unbeatable. The view is amazing especially coupled with gas firepits, or real wood firepit on the lower level. We had a wonderful time here 2nd time and would book again.

Couldn’t ask for more

Everything advertised about this stay was underrated. This place gets 10 of 10 stars. It ticked off every box and became the peaceful joyful getaway that one dreams about. The great weather and stunning sunrises and full moons on cloudless nights added to the mystique. Thank you Sue for providing a wonderful stay.

Peaceful retreat

Such a great quiet location. The cottage has everything you would need. Lots of towels and comfortable bed. Well laid out living room. And the view is stunning. A big bonus are all of the outdoor seating areas - some with propane fire pits totally for your use. I travel for work and always stay here as can chill and prepare my own meal after a long day. The place is totally spotless

Perfect Accommodation With Views

Not a single detail was overlooked in this stunning vacation getaway rental. All needs were addressed including a welcome bottle of wine. The interior was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Choose from an array of different locations on the amazing multi level private concrete decks that overlook the water. We enjoyed watching for wildlife in the water, especially the family of sea otters that were entertaining. Spectacular sunrise views. We will be back.

Outstanding Rental

From the moment you pull up to the first view to the water inside the cabin, it’s outstanding. The pictures really don’t do it justice, as great as they are. The views from this property are nothing short of remarkable! The cabin had everything we needed, was very clean, was extremely comfortable and quiet. The waterfront patios are so private and relaxing to spend time on. We enjoyed every minute! It was awesome to have use of the kayaks! Really calm bay to paddle in and easy beachfront access. We enjoyed watching the seals and otters every day and even caught a bald eagle on camera one morning. Sue was an exceptional host who responded so quickly to every question and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit with her! She was so welcoming and accommodating. We can’t wait to return one day and highly recommend Sue’s rental! Thanks for everything, Sue! Until next time.

Not as Advertised - Even Better!

We were delighted to discover Sue's stunning sea-side retreat, which is a private, self contained beach house perched on a bluff with unobstructed views of Ladysmith Harbour and surrounding islands. The location is perfect for exploring mid or south Vancouver Island. The accommodation is well-appointed, with many thoughtful details and extras - we immediately felt at home and never in need of anything. The property has exceptional amenities - two ocean-front seating areas with fire pits to enjoy sunsets and star gazing, and multiple seating areas for lounging, sun-bathing, yoga etc. There is a shed at water level that is stocked with kayaks, life jackets, and stand up paddle (SUP) boards. The property is easy to access, and has convenient off-street parking. Sue was friendly and responsive. We will be back!

Cannot beat these views, even from inside. Perfect location if you want a low-key, chill vacation. So many comfortable places to sit outside and see wildlife and hear the ocean. Close to Chemainus and ladysmith where we had lunch and explored the towns. Oh and the couch reclines.

My husband and I had the BEST time at Sue’s beautiful oceanfront cabin!It’s somehow even more stunning in person than in the photographs.The cabin itself has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, with ocean views from every room (even the bathroom!)And the outdoor space is simple above & beyond. Multiple seating areas on multiple levels - each designed for comfort & overlooking the ocean.We swam, went for walks along the water, watched the sunrise and sunset, watched the stars, and simply had the most amazing stay.Sue is absolutely lovely & this is hands down one of the best places we’ve ever stayed.We’re definitely planning on booking another stay. Thanks Sue for your hospitality!
