For example this ocean view is the best ever because my partner and I loved waking up to it every morning from our bedroom .We loved taking the paddleboard out, caught a bunch of crabs and even had a cozy beachside fire a couple of the evenings. The stairs definitely gave us a good workout but totally worth it for the views and for the long beautiful sandy beach on low tide.The neighbours were the best and Courtney and Brent are amazing hosts.we definitely made some amazing new friends on our vacation .Anything you need ,They’ve got it covered.

- "Awesome the best" - "The property was beautiful with an amazing view. Looking forward to booking this home again." - "Our family of four found Randy's Chamainus house very comfortable and welcoming. Randy was very easy to work with and provided many of the basics for a vacation rental. The house was ideally located for our wants and needs with easy access to Chemainus, a charming town with a history of murals painted on the walls of businesses and very friendly people. The beauty of the Straight of Georgia in the back yard, with nearly daily sightings of seals and/or otters (can be hard to tell which) was fun for us all. I could say more but, simply - This was, for us, a truly easy vacation!"

The beautiful decor, spotless cleanliness, and family-friendly amenities made it a clear favorite for everyone in our family.

The manager/owner was delightful to communicate with." - "Views from the deck were just wonderful." - "The suite is very nice, and the location just on the water is terrific. Not a party spot as there are young children downstairs but this wasn't an issue for me. The only downside is that the property is quite close to a road which leads to a major fuel storage site so there are large trucks rumbling by occasionally."

Additionally, the stairs leading from the parking space to the suite and patio are shared with a small office located in our backyard. While it’s rare, you may occasionally see someone using the stairs.

Other things to note
A heads-up: We are parents! Our little one arrived in October 2022, so you will hear us upstairs from the suite. We appreciate your understanding! Earplugs are provided in the bathroom cabinet, just in case.

If you’d like the pull-out couch bed set up before your arrival, just let us know when booking, and we’ll be happy to prepare it for you.

At this time, we are unable to provide snow or ice removal. However, we happily offer road salt and a snow shovel—just ask if it's needed and not left on the patio ahead of time.

Other things to note
Notes:

The pack and play is a portable and collapsible play pen. In Canada we do not use extra mattresses or bedding, as this can increase the risk of suffocation.

This playpen base may seem “hard” but it is a firm foam lining the bottom, and this is how they are made in Canada for safety. There is no extra mattress, or cushions to put into the playpen and we do not advise anything extra is added. This risk is also displayed on the play pen. Please see Health Canada website re: playpens for more information.
