Qualicum Beach Stay
Large 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. Enjoyed the large yard, large living room, and cooking on the industrial stove. The massive picnic table was great for dining al fresco. Owner provided some nice touches such as eggs, cream, fresh herbs, and fresh flowers through out the house. We used the cream and herbs in our clam chowder. Check out Nanoose bay for clamming, and Fanny Bay wharf for crabbing.

We had a mouse in the bedroom.
Our stay was Aug 26-29 for 3 families - 6 adults and 5 young children. The place was large and spacious with a well stocked kitchen BUT we had a mouse issue and the owner called me “completely unreasonable” for asking for some money back.
Aug 26: ~11pm, we see grey mouse scurry by in the master ensuite. It runs under the door into the master bedroom. We try to look for it but it disappears. We try not to think about it.
Aug 27: I contact Sandra for help and she said the mouse must have come in through an open door. Her husband comes to set 2 traps, 1 in the master ensuite and 1 in the bdrm.
Aug 28: 730pm, we are all in the living room, when the mouse darts out from behind the couch. We all jump up scrambling, screaming. It runs out again, into the master bdrm, darts around and finally into the closet where it escapes through a hole in the bottom corner. I send a picture to Sandra and suggest she should call an exterminator. We move the 2 traps to the closet and block under the door with towels. She apologized for the inconvenience and offered us 2 nights stay next summer. I told her we did not want to come back as this experience was stressful.
Aug 29: We open the closet and find the mouse is caught! I send a photo of dead mouse to Sandra. I told her this was not the experience we were expecting. I asked for 2 nights’ refund, since this is what she offered us for next year. She responds, “I am absolutely not refunding any money!” She calls me “completely unreasonable”.

Family Gathering
We needed a large home to accommodate 7 adults and 4 kids. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed everything about the house, from the huge kitchen table and well equipped kitchen, to the large living spaces and backyard. Sandra went to a great deal of trouble to accommodate our need to avoid asthma and allergy triggers. It all worked and there were no issues. I don’t think you could find a more helpful host. Thank you Sandra.

Amazing large house on amazing large property
My partner and I stayed here with a number of our wedding party and we could not have been happier with how perfect it was. A nice large kitchen made it easy to cook big family breakfasts every morning and the size of the place is much larger than the photos would let you know. Not once did we feel cramped. The giant living was a great place for everyone to congregate and hangout.
Sandra was an amazing host. Knowing it was our wedding weekend she even personalized the living room with a driftwood sign that read "Just Married."
This home was the cherry on top of an already magical weekend.

Sandra, your property is beautiful. It was very inviting g from the time we walked through the door, the fresh flowers, the wine for Ian and I, the handwritten notes in the blankets. The cleanliness was definitely above average and there was definitely no shortness of towels. The bed linens were super soft and comfy. We will definitely stay at your property the next time we’re out this way. Thank you so much 😊 ❤️

Family getaway on the Island
My family (wife, married children and grand children) stayed 4 nights in Sandra’s very comfortable and spacious rancher. Met our our needs 100%. Kitchen was perfect for large group meal preparation. Large fridge, double dishwasher, dual gas oven with 6 burners and cooktop were all put to use. Well equipped with platters, pots, pans and full table settings. We also enjoyed meals in the large backyard with full size BBQ and propane fire pit. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Would stay here again, in a heartbeat.

Spacious country retreat
Our extended family stayed for weekend and LOVED the home and property. Tons of room for everyone to spread out both inside and out. Beautiful private property in the country with plenty of outdoor seating, mature trees, lots of room to play bocce on the grass and for the kids to enjoy the tire swing and outdoor toys. Inside was perfect for board games and the chef's kitchen with long table was incredible for big family meals! Very responsive host who checked in with us via message and left us farm fresh eggs and flowers upon arrival. Many wonderful memories made and will definitely return and recommend to others. Thank you so much Sandra!

Lots of space inside and out. The common areas were large and the kids were happy! There was one step between living areas (not a problem for us, but good to note). The yard was big and mostly fenced. The road has fast moving cars but there are barriers for safety.

December Holiday
This property was lovely. My husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom with ensuite- what a luxury! Our grown up kids had plenty of room with good size bedrooms and enough bathrooms for all. The kitchen worked well for the size of our group with the 2 dishwashers and the large table. We loved having two spaces to hang out. The place was decorated for the holidays which made it feel special and homey. Sandra responded to every inquiry. The kitchen lacked some items which we found out were a result of covid restrictions. Would love to stay there again!
