Bayside hideaway
This is a remarkably beautiful place. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The condo was gorgeously appointed with First Nation art and comfortable furniture. Good beds. Unfortunately it was 35 (95 F), and there was no AC. So that was rough, but probably unusual. If the weather is moderate to cold-it’s the most wonderful vacation home!

Best stay ever
The place was awesome, the host communicated on how to enter in the property and everything worked out. When we came in everything was super organized and ready to use. Plenty of amenities and a great view to the water. The Kitchen is full of items and good to go. The host has very attention to details. We loved our stay.

Bed
We loved the place, tastefully decorated and complete with kitchen amenities. The bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable. The mattress was extremely hard for us, and being older people it was uncomfortable on our hips, shoulders, etc. We would absolutely go back and rent this home, if, they had a softer bed. Thank you to John and Harold being very friendly and helpful hosts.

Beautiful view, peaceful setting, very comfortable (firm) bed, excellent modern kitchen and clean well-maintained bathroom, great amenities. Had everything I needed and more. Decor was a little odd and needs to be updated, but otherwise one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.
