From the moment you pull up to the first view to the water inside the cabin, it’s outstanding. The pictures really don’t do it justice, as great as they are. The views from this property are nothing short of remarkable! The cabin had everything we needed, was very clean, was extremely comfortable and quiet. The waterfront patios are so private and relaxing to spend time on. We enjoyed every minute!
It was awesome to have use of the kayaks! Really calm bay to paddle in and easy beachfront access. We enjoyed watching the seals and otters every day and even caught a bald eagle on camera one morning.
Sue was an exceptional host who responded so quickly to every question and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit with her! She was so welcoming and accommodating. We can’t wait to return one day and highly recommend Sue’s rental! Thanks for everything, Sue! Until next time.

Its truly a luxury experience. This place has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and more. The location near the water is unbeatable. The view is amazing especially coupled with gas firepits, or real wood firepit on the lower level. We had a wonderful time here 2nd time and would book again.

We were delighted to discover Sue's stunning sea-side retreat, which is a private, self contained beach house perched on a bluff with unobstructed views of Ladysmith Harbour and surrounding islands. The location is perfect for exploring mid or south Vancouver Island. The accommodation is well-appointed, with many thoughtful details and extras - we immediately felt at home and never in need of anything. The property has exceptional amenities - two ocean-front seating areas with fire pits to enjoy sunsets and star gazing, and multiple seating areas for lounging, sun-bathing, yoga etc. There is a shed at water level that is stocked with kayaks, life jackets, and stand up paddle (SUP) boards. The property is easy to access, and has convenient off-street parking. Sue was friendly and responsive. We will be back!

Not a single detail was overlooked in this stunning vacation getaway rental. All needs were addressed including a welcome bottle of wine. The interior was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Choose from an array of different locations on the amazing multi level private concrete decks that overlook the water. We enjoyed watching for wildlife in the water, especially the family of sea otters that were entertaining. Spectacular sunrise views. We will be back.

Everything advertised about this stay was underrated. This place gets 10 of 10 stars. It ticked off every box and became the peaceful joyful getaway that one dreams about. The great weather and stunning sunrises and full moons on cloudless nights added to the mystique.
Thank you Sue for providing a wonderful stay.

If you want to be on a cliff overlooking the water with nothing I. Your view but ocean - then this is the perfect place. The various terraces down to the ocean provide so many awesome seating areas depending on your mood. Sit by the fire in the evening and watch the sun set. I was on a quick work trip and it was nice to come back to a place like home. Thank you!

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to the island and this property very much. The cabin was very clean and well-appointed. We appreciated the sunrises over the water and the complimentary use of the kayaks. We were easily able to take day trips to Victoria, Parksville, and Port Renfrew, returning to the cabin before dark each time. We enjoyed a show at Chemainus Theatre and all of our meals at restaurants in nearby Chemainus and Ladysmith. Overall, it was a lovely trip. Thank you to Sue for her hospitality.

Glorious 6 day stay at Sue's beautiful property which is right on the ocean with luxurious and private accommodation. Lovely Sue was there to greet and welcome us upon arrival. Quick drive to Chemainus, Ladysmith and Duncan were fun to explore too. Our overall stay was fabulous and will definitely want to stay again!

Will be back - again & again!!
This vacation cabin will exceed anyone’s expectations.

A magical sea side get away
This place is everything!! Just outside of the cute town of "Ladysmith" BC the interior is beautiful, very modern and all the finest amenities. We spent most of the time outside on the multitude terraces. From a real wood fire pit on the bottom level where you can watch the tides come and go to the covered swing in the middle, to the propane fireplace on the top deck which is perfectly covered by a gazebo. It's all.amazing and Sue was a wonderful host. Would 100000% stay here again

Luxury by the sea
So close to the water you see the whiskers on the daily visits of the harbour seal. I hope he was more successful at fishing than me. Ideal location to relax.

The Best Stay Ever!
I love this cottage. It's nicely decorated, well stocked with coffee, tea, condiments, and spices. There was a tray with a small bottle of wine and chocolate in the bedroom. Sue is a very gracious host.
I asked for an earlier check in and it was no problem at all. Sue was very prompt in emailing me shortly after I booked the cottage. I really appreciate her hospitality. Of all the vrbo's I stayed at, this
is the best!

Wish we had more time to enjoy all four decks and the SUP boards . The kayaks were an added bonus to experience the stunning seascape !

Refreshed and recharged
This cottage on the water is the best place to relax and unwind. During the day we enjoyed relaxing, taking out the kayaks/paddle boards (2 of each available), or checking out the other gulf islands (departures from Chemanius or Nanaimo). For dinner we used the available propane bbq to cook. At night we loved setting up bonfires on the lowest deck with the available wood, axe & fire ring. The inside of the cottage is sparking clean. Very grateful for the AC in the summertime as well! Perfect for a couples or singles holiday!
