About this house rental

Bright and spacious with East facing sunrises, all brand new appliances in this recently renovated suite. Climate controlled environment so it's always cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

This suite is spacious with a large open concept living room and kitchen. The two bedrooms are located at the far end of the suite; if one person wants to get some rest, the others can still have fun on the other end!

Perfect for couples wanting to get away for a change of scenery and create new memories, unwind and relax in this country setting. Or bring a few of your friends to have a fun little getaway and reconnect. Lots of large serving platers and dishes to make this a space you don't want to leave, just bring all your food and beverages and enjoy. This space is perfect to spread out and have fun in. Enjoy the BBQ for outdoor cooking.

Large patio up front to enjoy. There is more furniture in the summer out front than in the winter. We have included both winter pictures and summer pictures so there are zero surprises or disappointments once you arrive.

Absolutely no smoking indoors but we do have a lovely designated smoking area and also 420 friendly: please just use the ample front porch outside is all we ask. Enjoy yourself and the scenery without having to hide away.

This is a basement suite that does not feel like one. There are windows on 3 sides of the space. Very bright with country views out of each one. There is a frosted glass partition behind the couch that we use for storage if you're wondering what is behind the glass, there is pictures included so you can see what we are talking about.

Must Love Dogs! We do have a couple well behaved dogs, you most likely will not even notice them and the entrance to the suite is totally separate, but we feel in a full disclosure type of way you might hear the odd bark or two.

Cleanliness and sanitation is a the forefront of our minds. All hard surfaces are sanitized between each stay and linens are washed in high heat sani cycle for your peace of mind.

Very cute place, and very nice host. Had everything we needed. If I had to make any complaints or would be that there was only 1 roll of toilet paper. And that there was no tea or coffee.

We enjoyed our stay at Rixlandia. The property owner lives at the location and was very flexible regarding our arrival time. We enjoyed a "night in" with a fully equipped kitchen. It was a very clean accommodation at a very reasonably price. Thanks

This house was the most comfortable, beautiful and the cleanest we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms were roomy with plenty of storage for our things. The beds were very comfortable and made with clean comfortable bedding. The bathrooms were spotless and equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of seating area for everyone to relax and watch tv. The kitchen and dining area opened up to a lovely , intimate and cozy outdoor sitting and dining area. It was the perfect place to relax and eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our host welcomed us warmly and was always available to us to answer questions and any requests. Rick is well versed in the lore and history of the Island and we learned a lot more from him than anything we had read. Rick’s suggestions on towns to visit, places to explore and fabulous pubs to dine at gave us a more intimate experience. Of the island. I cannot recommend this house and Rick’s hospitality enough. It is the perfect get away and we definitely plan on returning again.

We had a short, one night stay at Ricks place. Rick was super friendly and check in was easy. The place was clean and the beds were comfy. We loved the patio and spent as much time as we could sitting out there listening to the local birdlife, including the neighbours chickens. We had everything we needed to make a nice dinner, although oven mitts would have been handy. There was a fair bit of traffic on the road nearby when we first arrived, but it quieted down as the evening wore on. Great stay! Would stay again.

We only had a short stopover at Rick's place during our roadtrip, but everything was wonderful. The apartment looked like the pictures and we even had an AC to keep us cool. If you stay here, you are surrounded by pure nature and wildlife. Thanks Rick for welcoming us into your home!

Rick was very kind and helpful and we enjoyed many good conversations with him while we were staying at his place; he also supplied us with pots that we were missing at the time of our stay. The place was organized and clean in most areas. Our only challenge was the small toilet seat and how close the basin was to the toilet that It felt somewhat uncomfortable. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay at Rick’s place and visiting the farms nearby; everything else was great and as described. Thank you Rick for having us :)

The property is in a great countryside location close to Nanaimo. It is clean, spacious, beautiful, and well-kept. The owner took good care of us and checked in to make sure our stay was perfect. As a bonus the roosters from across the road were a wonderful alarm :) .

We really enjoyed our time here. Rick was nice to chat with. We discovered croquet because Rick had it set up in the front yard. The front patio is lovely and calming. We had a blast! We recommend this nice and quiet place 100%. Thanks Rick!

Rick was welcoming and provided us with an emergency food and drinks pack after our ferry was late and we were unable to access a hired car. He checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet location , midway between Parksville and Victoria. We would definitely recommend it to anyone for future use.

I was very happy with the property. The pictures are an exact match to the listing. The property was extremely clean, the beds were super comfortable, it was the best sleep I had in a long time! Its very quiet and relaxing. Rick was an awesome host, he greeted me when I arrived, and gave me the tour of the place. Even before I booked, I had asked Rick many questions and he had responded back rght away. Also, Rick mentioned to me about some trails nearby, l will definately have to check them out next time I am there. There is a gas station, doggy care center, all closeby too. I highly recommend this vacation rental. I plan on coming back in September for my Brother's weddding. Thank you Rick for having my family stay at your rental, we really enjoyed it! I hope to be back again soon.
