Our second stay here, Very comfortable, well equipped and just a short walk to the beach. It has everything one could wish for in a vacation home. Just a lovely place to spend a holiday.
We stayed at Carol's vacation rental in June 2025. The location was amazing with great access to the beach and driving distance to loads of child friendly activities. Carol was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for our two children. The place was fantastic and has everything you'd want to cook! Thanks again Carol!

The property was immaculate and extremely well appointed. We enjoyed relaxing on the back patio. The beds were comfortable and the condo was modern with high-end finishings. The condo is a short walk to the Rathtreaver Beach and the Black Goose Pub.
We had a wonderful time staying at Carol and Terry’s place. The rooms were very comfortable and the unit fit our party of six (three generations) perfectly. We loved the green space outside for the kids to play and the adults to lounge. The kitchen and BBQ were gourmet. The beach access was easy and so close. Thanks for a great holiday!
Was as advertised, beautifully appointed luxury condo!
Condo was immaculate and wonderfully located at one of our favourite spots on Vancouver Island. Wonderful walks, great weather, outstanding pubs, restaurants and bistros. Great shopping close by and a kitchen that was fully equipped and great appliances for home cooking and or barbecuing on scenic patio! We all felt very lucky to have found such a treasure and look forward to returning.
Owner of the condo was easy to communicate with. Condo was nicely appointed and met all our needs. We appreciated use of the wagon, beach chairs and extra sand toys. Location can’t be beat!
Thank you Carol & Terry for sharing your beautiful townhouse and your top of the line appliances, furnishings and decor. The location is amazing and we really enjoyed the privacy of the back patio area. You've thought of everything one could need. We knew we had made the right choice to stay with you when we arrived to your lovely card & welcome gift. Thank you so much!
We stayed in this modern clean retreat home that was very spacious for six adults and one child. Very well equipped with plenty of everything. Carol was extremely helpful and answered quickly if we didn’t understand something. The beach was cool at low tide and walked out for a long ways. Lots of stuff to see and visit close by. Nice and quiet too! We would definitely come again. Thanks Carol and Terry
Close walking access to the beach.
Lots of local hiking in the area.
Property clean and well equipped!
Disappointed that there is not actual pool or hot tub access as indicated in the listing.
There is an option at a neighboring resort complex but you must pay a drop in fee. I would suggest the listing be updated to reflect this in order to limit disappointment for families.
Stayed with my son and his family. Perfectly laid out and great for a family with little ones
The kitchen had all we needed for extras
Beautifully decorated
Cool lower level unit in a peaceful setting just a short walk from the beach. Has a nice little lawn for the kids to play in. We had a great time using this as our home base with two young kids. Carol was very kind and helpful as a host. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.
Beautiful condo near the beach. The condo had everything we needed for our stay and more. Carol, the owner was a great communicator. It was beyond perfect.
The place was just as described and was in an amazing location. We loved the deck and enjoyed using it both in the mornings and during the evenings. The beach was wonderful and we lucked out having great weather for our entire stay!
This unit is in a great location. It has a walk out patio onto a green space and is a very short walk to the beach. Spacious and lovely and perfect for a family getaway.

This property is perfect for a family of four like ours. We had all we needed and wanted. So comfortable. It has access to the beach and the park next door. Easy to get to grocery stores and many options for restaurants. The owner is friendly and pays attention to details.
Always a great place to stay. The beach is a quick 2 minute walk away and the accommodations have everything you need. Always look forward to coming back each year.
This property is amazing! So clean, extremely quiet. The decor is beautiful and the beds and bedding are so comfortable. They have every appliance, pots and pans to cook whatever is you like. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The green space out front is a nice touch, with added bunnies that come to say hello, our kids loved that. We even had an owl pay us a visit right outside the front window.
Great property, great location, great patio, and clean. This was our family's second year staying at Carol's place and we'll be back again. Highly recommend for anyone especially if you have a young family.
This property was amazing for our family and Carol was so easy to work with! Everything we needed to be comfortable and get some relaxation time. Beach is so close and our little one had a blast there! Don’t hesitate, just book this place :)
From the minute we walked in the door, we loved our stay! The beds were super comfortable, we had loads of space, were less than 5 minutes walk from the water, and Carol was available the whole time we were there just in case we needed anything. Can't say enough good things about this place!
We had a great weekend! Everything was amazing. Carol, the hostess, was great to deal with, loved the condo and great location! We would definitely stay here, again.
