1 star 2 star 3 star 4 star 5 star   Rating: 4 / 5 Welcoming 2023 at the ocean 6 Jan 2023
Five family members and I stayed for two nights. We had a raucous, fun night playing games and then settled in to just enjoy the serenity of this home. The hot tub on the deck, a walk on the beach, time to read, stretch out and watch TV or paint rocks were relaxing after the busy Christmas week. The house was spacious and comfortable.

The one issue we had was with the dishwasher. We unfortunately found out mid-cycle that it was leaking all over the kitchen floor, and although evidence showed this was not a new problem, there was no posting or mention we shouldn't use it. It wasn't a huge problem, we just did dishes the old fashioned way. All in all our stay was great, you really cannot beat the location.

1 star 2 star 3 star 4 star 5 star   Rating: 5 / 5 Best getaway ever! 21 May 2022
Our 3 night stay was so special! Each day we had a 180 degree view of the ocean, with so much eagle, heron, sea lion, seal, shorebird, and even orca activity! We loved relaxing in the hot tub, had a room each for the 6 of us, a fully stocked kitchen, and firewood ready for the indoor fireplace.
We are already booked to go back next year!

The property was great for our family! Lots of room to spread out or be together. We spent most of the day outside on the back deck or playing in the yard. Kitchen was well stocked. 3 bathrooms were appreciated. Great vacation rental! We can’t wait to return!

1 star 2 star 3 star 4 star 5 star   Rating: 5 / 5 Exceptionally Accomodating 6 Aug 2021
Once covid restrictions lifted and we could finally gather as a family, we spent a week in Bowser to celebrate our mother's belated 70th birthday. The house worked great with rooms for everyone, including the children. There was tons of beautiful outdoor space and the hot tub was a particularly popular spot--for the kids during the day, and for the adults in the evening. Anytime we had any issues, Jane went above and beyond to solve them. Whether it was the wifi or an issue with one of the beds, the problem was dealt with better than I could have imagined possible. A truly accommodating host.

An easy place to fall in love with. Family and dog friendly. We had a great time enjoying the stormy ocean and relaxing in the hot tub. A cozy house for evening board games. Thank you for another great stay!

1 star 2 star 3 star 4 star 5 star   Rating: 5 / 5 A great escape! 28 Dec 2019
What a great place for a holiday getaway! 7 of us were skipping out on Christmas and hiding away. The view is amazing. The entire front of the house is windows looking out at nothing but ocean and the islands across the water. The hot tub on the front deck is a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty. Lots of room, 6 bedrooms, all well maintained, 2 livingroom areas so one can get away even in a crowd. A well equipped kitchen, we did a turkey dinner, the gas fireplace and the wood fireplace make it very cosy and the one day we had of stormy weather made it a great wave watching location. We all loved it and will hopefully return.

This place has 6 bedrooms, and is right on the beach. Perfect for a group of 10 people. We only saw one person on the private beach passing by in the 48 hours we were there. The photo makes the house look much smaller than it is.
