- "My family and I loved our stay at the beach house - it’s in a central location on the island to many hikes and attractions. There were days that we just hung out and found sea shells, walked along the private beach, watched seals and went paddle boarding (we rented an inflatable paddle board for the week). The property was clean and the kitchen well stocked with everything we could need for cooking." - "Beautiful views and beach walks from this well-equipped, clean and comfortable home. Check-in and out were easy, good communication with the host. Thank you, Joan!"

KEMA Cabin is a small rustic family oriented cabin, fronted by its own private yard. The cabin has access to a virtually private beach ideal for the exploration of tidal pools or just to enjoy the tranquility of the westerly vistas (beach access destroyed by land slide - new access being worked on). A large deck at the cabin front with table and umbrella serves as the 'hang-out' after the days activities are over. The cabin is fully equipped with all generally required amenities. Come and relax!

- "Enjoyed the private beach" - "My husband and I had a fabulous time. The cottage is so cute, comfy and well equipped. Loved barbecuing and overlooking the ocean from the patio....wasn't expecting such a lovely view from the property. Owner is super nice and welcoming. We definitely will come back to Hornby and we have found our little getaway cottage when there!" - "Comfortable….." - "I had a great trip to Hornby island this year and it all centred around my home base “Kema Cabin”. About a kilometre up from Shingle Spit Ferry and it’s a perfect cabin for one or two people that has everything you need including a comfy bed, a small kitchen with all the amenities and a hot shower with good pressure. The property does have WIFI but I found when I was using it I kept having to sign in if I moved around the cabin or deck but a really small complaint in the grand scheme of things. The private beach is across the street and down some custom built stairs and is really beautiful and very private and if you don’t feel like setting out for Tribune or Whaling station this a nice alternative that’s just a few minutes walk away. The deck offers a small view of the ocean that is a great spot for your morning coffee. I would recommend Kema Cabin for a couple or even if you’re on a solo trip. This is a peaceful home base where you’ll be comfortable before and after all your Hornby adventures!"

A simple, cozy Canadian cabin located in the Seacroft vacation community on the western shore of the Salish Sea, with kitchen, lounge, bathroom and two queen bedrooms. Expansive deck with barbeque, furniture and ocean views. Thirty meters from the shoreline.

- "We had a marvellous time in this cute little cabin by the ocean. A daily swim, coffee on the beach and walks down by the shore became an easy routine. This place was a perfect get away for my family who loved spending time together either inside the cabin, or outside on the larger deck. Will be rebooking this place again sometime in the near future." - "Relaxing Holidays directly on the Pacific Coast in a well-equipped Holiday Home." - "The place was great with excellent view"

- "A serene and relaxing escape. Excellent accommodation and hospitality. Highly recommended." - "We enjoyed staying at the vacation rental at the end of the road overlooking the ocean." - "Beautiful place." - "This place is awesome! The apartment is beautifully designed and was super clean. We loved the large shower, the sauna and the ocean view. We could hear the sea lions from the living room and were followed by so many while kayaking. There a two bald eagles living in a tree next to the property, if you're lucky you can see them through the skylight right when you wake up. The place is very quiet, an ideal getaway for a couple or a single person when you're tired of the city. Robin was super responsive and kind and the place came with lots of helpful instructions on where to find what and how everything works. Bonus point: Their dog is super cute and treated us to many cuddles. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!"

The neighborhood was very quiet and tranquil in a short walking distance to the beach with stunning views. Cannot praise this stay more highly. Thank you Micky" - "These owners have put much effort into their VRBO property ! The inside is spotless! Beautiful, clean and decorated with peace and tranquility in mind ! We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, glasses and a hand written note. With lots of windows, it’s always bright and cheery ! Cozy couch with Netflix options beside a pellet stove (we didn’t use the stove, but this is a great option as sometimes, with the ocean breeze, evenings can be a little chilly!). The outside is beautifully landscaped ! Chairs and places to sit outside too. The kitchen was fully equipped with a travellers needs in mind ! (Tea towels, paper towel, cleaning supplies, spices, cooking utensils, even Saran Wrap/tin foil). I highly recommend this property ! Oh, the owners were easy to communicate with and replied promptly if we had questions !"

- "This was our second time staying at this location. The first time was during a particularly rainy spring, so coming in the summer was a different experience. This time we could really make use if the beautiful deck and enjoy the view (the view is still great from inside when it was rainy). We could also enjoy swimming at the beach instead of just beach combing! The location is quiet and located far enough from larger centers to really slow down and relax, while still having the attractions of Coombs/Parksville close enough to enjoy. The hosts are communicative and thoughtful, they even had a fantastic dropped off because they thought we might be too warm (we didn't end up needing it, but it was thoughtful nonetheless). We had a wonderful family get away, and with two young kids we appreciate having no downstairs neighbours (especially when the 7 year old hurt her ankle the day before we arrived!)."

There is also a seating area just off the kitchen by the stairs. This opens up to the huge deck overlooking the back garden. Upstairs you have a work area with a desk and another tv room, the huge master bedroom with amazing windows and an awesome bathroom - the shower is spacious and has a rain shower head with handheld. Again everything you could imagine you'd need (shampoo, conditioner, body wash) - hair dryer, cotton wool, ear buds etc. all neatly stored. The main bedroom leads out to the rooftop. I can honestly say that we loved every bit of the log cabin - beautiful flooring, lots of light (including natural), light switches all marked clearly, very stylish and comfortable décor, extremely well equipped and very clean! We feel very fortunate that we could be the first visitors to this stunning cabin. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Vancouver Island. Thanks so much for the very enjoyable stay."

The bathroom is also spacious with a sit-down shower stall and a view. Just put the window you can spot horses, deer, peacock, chickens and our seasonal ponds.
Our private parking area easily fits 3 vehicles with room to turn around. More parking spaces for your boat or other toys are close by, with lots of room to move.
We strive to provide fresh eggs from our flock of heritage chickens, fresh bouquets, and anything from our varied food and herb gardens.

- "We all loved staying at Keyo's place. The property is so beautiful and whimsical. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were SO comfy. Keyo was such a lovely host and made our stay fantastic. We'll definitely be back!" - "Keyo is an amazing host and the pictures are lovely but this place has so much more magic, peace and light than the pictures could ever display. The bed was so comfortable. This place is about connecting to nature or whatever your soul needs to nourish you and enhance your life experience. So many walks and beaches available or you can just sit and enjoy. This place is awesome!"

- "We spent a week and had a wonderful time. The barn has been tastefully and thoughtfully renovated with everything we needed. The location was suitably remote for us (three ferry rides from Vancouver, but they were an enjoyable part of the trip) and we loved being right next to the beach and a short walk from 'four corners', which had everything we needed. The only slight issue was that the island's water is volcanic so it smells a bit although it is perfectly safe. However, the owners provided a 5-gallon bottle of water more was available about a 10-minute walk away. (We used two bottles in a week.) We are not golfers, so we did not take advantage of the golf course next door although we could have. But it provided a nice grassy area with two ponds, which just added to the charm. The interior was spacious and we took advantage of the outdoor patio, as well as long walks on the beach (at high or low tide). You can walk to the next big beach and the owners also told us about several hikes elsewhere on the island that we took advantage of. In summary, the place is lovely, the owners are delightful and we definitely recommend this property to others. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful break!"

- "This is a lovely place for an extended stay...all you need for a luxury vacation." - "We had an amazing time. The house is even prettier than the pictures online. The view is breathtaking. It was close to activities we wanted to do such as hiking and wildlife tours. Great grocery store in town. Great restaurants along the shore in both directions. Would recommend a stay here." - "I was looking for a quiet weekend away on the beach, to relax and enjoy a much needed break from work. This lovely cottage is exactly as shown in the pictures. Beautifully decorated, a fully equipped kitxhen with top of the line appliances, a very comfortable bed and a view that cannot be beat. Additionally the sauna while has not only appreciated after a long day of exploring but also provides an equality stunning view. I was extremely fortunate that not only did I have 4 days of sunshine, I also was there for the herring spawning. I was privileged to watch rafts of sea lions, convication of eagles, solitary herons and 1000s of herring gulls. The walks on the beach where not only amazing for the view but the abundance of wildlife. Highly recommended for adults."
