Perfect place!!
We just stayed for a few days in this lovely little home on Gabriola. It was nicely renovated, beautifully clean, and had everything we could possibly need including access to a pretty beach. Would love to come and stay again! Thank you Mason!

A gem of a property
Pictures don’t do this properly justice. It is so clean and well equipped for a family stay. The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, there are beach towels and board games…
The property is amazing with private access to the beach is so special. Exploring tide pools in the morning and swimming in the afternoon.
This is a special place, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Family vacation
We travelled with three littles and a few adults. Beautiful property and cottage. House was well equipped. Beach access easy stairs and a lovely patio over the beach. Swimming at high tide was like an aquarium swim. Lots of beach life and adventures.
Beds were comfortable. We would recommend to future guests.

Everything, fabulously excellent
Absolutely loved the property, the posting was accurate and the property even better in reality. The location on the water means just hanging around is a vacation in itself. of best quality. The cabin is comfortable, kitchen well stocked and matresses on all beds Would definitely return.
