- "We enjoyed at this quaint and comfortable home. The beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding and hotel quality pillows. The kitchen was well appointed. We had a gorgeous view of the ocean and took lots of sunrise and sunset pictures. It was an easy drive for day trips to Coombs, Qualicum, Rathtrevor Beach, and Parksville. Taaja was a gracious and knowledgeable host giving us lots of tips on places to visit. Although we knew there would be stairs up to our unit, it was a long flight of stairs to carry up our luggage. Overall, we had a lovely stay and recommend this accommodation."

Great for winter storm watching or for exploring the calm warm seas of summer.

- "It was all great. The only thing that didn’t work very well was the Internet connection! Otherwise great place and real enjoyable Ladysmith area!" - "First time using VRBO. It was amazing, beautiful and everyone around was so friendly. Genevieve was easy to get a hold of if needed. Will definitely try and book yearly!" - "Beautiful setting, plenty of amenities, quiet, relaxing time." - "Just as described, clean and wonderful location. The ocean view was a delight as we hadn't known how much we would see being in the "building in the back". It was the cutest little room with everything we needed, the pool was refreshing, and exploring the shore was great. We'll definitely stay here again next time!"

- "Enjoyed this clean, well laid out suite with lots of amenities and everything you need to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. There is a nice patio area with BBQ and outdoor dining. The dock was great with room for our boat and for swimming and relaxing. The hosts were wonderful and our dog enjoyed her stay as well." - "We really enjoyed our stay here. The suite had an absolutely stunning lakefront view! The suite was clean and well-equipped. We had everything we needed. The hosts even supplied everything our dog could want, including dog bowls, dog treats, a ball and poop bags. So nice that it was so dog friendly! The hosts were friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and the hosts kindly made their watersports equipment and toys available to us. Our 3-year-old had a great time! The only thing to note is that the suite is very much part of the family house. It is the downstairs suite under the main house, and the patio is right below the family's main patio. We did not mind (aside from occasionally smelling smoke from one of the visiting family members) but for those looking for privacy or to be well away from the hosts, this may not work for them."

- "Relaxing" - "This was a beautiful property and exactly what we needed for 2 nights on the Island for a wedding! The listing was incredibly accurate and I felt like everything I was to expect was spot on. The check-in process and check-out process were incredibly smooth and the communication was top notch! I would highly recommend this place to all my family and friends. The only warning I would give (which was included in the write up) are the walls are quite thin so yes you will hear some of what is happening in the other units for sure! Not a huge deal but if you're a very light sleeper or want complete silence this unit may not be for you. We found it no problem and were quite happy with our stay overall!"

This suite is fully furnished with modern appliances. It has great ocean views from its private deck and is a block from charming Ladysmith restaurants and stores. The beach is a ten minute walk or three minute drive away.

- "Very comfortable, loved the space, the view and the location. Would highly recommend." - "I was pleasantly surprised at how suitable the property was for me and my son and his wife. Excellent location spotlessly clean and SO well equipped. Everything we needed and more. Manager very caring. Hopefully I will return next year ." - "Paul made us feel right at home.

Pristine suite with just the right space for two. Lots of attention to detail throughout the suite and very well equipped. Top of the list has to be the amazing communication with the owner (Karen), who was always just a quick text or call away. All this at what I would consider to be the best overall value on Vancouver Island! Ladysmith proved to be a great base to tour other more remote regions of the island without having to reposition.

They added a lot of small touches to make our stay more comfortable. I loved the battery operated candles and the blankets on the balcony. The candles were perfect for our anniversary dinner and the blanket came in handy for morning coffee on the balcony.

- "Excellent location and communication with manager. The property is a little dated but was very clean and comfortable." - "Part was very new and part of the apartment a bit older, we enjoyed our stay." - "The location is great/close to the bay. One very tiny bathroom for considerable 7 guests! Fridge was dirty. Very noisy place (from upstairs and cleaning services)." - "This property picture, after seeing it in person, looks like the online picture was taken maybe 5 - 10 years ago. The shower is basically a closet in the hallway and the beds are completely uncomfortable. There was also an infestation of ants and, after contacting VRBO, instead of the manager taking care of our situation, they `offered' a can of ant spray outside of the door. I requested a fumigation and, although we were incredibly busy (we were working on our visit to Nanaimo) they requested pics of the ant problem. We stressed that we could not get back to the home due to work and communication continued in the same manner. We ended up going back, packing up a day early and stayed at a hotel. This place is not fit to stay at!"
