I did not have a chance to meet our host, Carla, but she must have wings. We asked if we could check in early so we could go back to Saturday at Butchart Gardens. She made that happen. Then we changed our mind as it was too long of a trip. I asked if we could check in late because I did not want to disturb her, and she said "no problem". My friend and I stayed at several places on our trip and they were all the same: shiny new appliances, and furniture but little else. Walking into Carla's place felt like home. Not as "modern" as some places, but very comfortable with a big deck that has a view of the morning sunrise, Many places to sit and read, a desk with a view, and a comfortable welcome with towels on each bed. We like to cook some nights and most places have salt and pepper and perhaps an almost empty bottle of oil. Carla's herb and seasonings made me want to cook a big meal and invite the neighbors. We visited during Labour Day weekend and most people went to the west side, we decided to go to the east side and loved it. More of a community feel and would have liked to spend more time at places like Transfer Beach Park near Ladysmith.

Our party of two couples enjoyed staying at this lovely, comfortable home in a quiet neighbourhood not far from the heart of Chemainus. It was spacious and well-equipped, and the hosts were very congenial. We enjoyed a day walking nearby trails (Askew Park, Wul'aam Park, Stocking Creek Trail) and another day exploring the town of Chemainus, including an evening at Chemainus Theatre. This home was a wonderful base for our North Cowichan getaway.

This was the perfect place to stay as a home base to tour the island. The home is spacious, comfortable and very clean. We spent most of our time on the upper deck eating meals and taking in the incredible view. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Carla was a wonderful and friendly host and very quick to respond to any request we had. We would not hesitate to stay here again.. Thank you Carla!

Great place for a family or two

We really enjoyed staying here. It was super quiet, very clean and comfortable. The location was great. It's very close to the centre of Chemainus, and only an hour to drive to Victoria for the day. We also did a day trip from Crofton to Saltspring Island. The Crofton ferry terminal is only 15 minutes away. There is more to do in Chemainus than we expected. Beautiful short hikes, lots of shopping to be done in town for art, candy and a great store that sold classic toys and records. If you're looking for a great family get away, I highly recommend this house as your "hub" to the Island. It fit our family of 4 generously. You could easily fit two families of 4 with the kids all sleeping in one room, or one or two in the living room. Thank you again!

Amazing home with a gorgeous view!

What a gem! Our family of six had the most amazing time staying at Kyle and Carla’s beautiful home! The first thing they did when we arrived was put our minds at ease about the noise (an inevitability with 4 kids!). The house was lovely with lots of room for our family. They even brought in an extra cot just in case we needed it! The location was perfect. A ten minute walk from the ocean and an eight minute drive from fuller lake. The view from the balcony was gorgeous and the breeze from the ocean kept the house comfortable, even with the unseasonably high temperatures. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Kyle and Carla for your incredible hospitality!

Amazing home, all the amenities plus more, comfortable beds, and an incredible deck with a view. We also loved the walking paths close by and the beautiful town of Chemainus. Our check in process was seamless and Carla and Ryan were so welcoming. Thank you for making this our home away from home. We will definitely be recommending this to our friends and family.

Beautiful family home with a friendly family and wonderful view. We arrived just after dark to be treated to a spectacular moonrise. Great start to a peaceful long weekend. Close to trail walks and amenities. One of the best spots in Chemainus. Highly recommend staying here as a couple or a family, feels like a home from home.

A quiet getaway

A quiet getaway

A beautiful home with a gorgeous deck overlooking Chemanius with a view of the ocean in the skyline. Games, puzzles and blankets provided to make even cozier which was a nice touch. Our stay was with another family and we found we had all the room we required for privacy. The home has 3 bedrooms and each had beautiful linens and comfortable mattreses everyone slept so well. (We loved hearing all the crickets - that’s how quiet and relaxing it is). The two bathrooms made it ideal for everyone getting ready to get going in the morning or at night. Towels were big and fluffy! The owners were easy to get hold of if we chose to reach out and that added to peace of mind for any extra essentials we may have needed. The only drawback was that if you do want to get out of Chemanius (although you certainly don’t need to!) there’s a bit of driving to other attractions. It’s centrally located though so that part is a plus. We would recommend this home and location to our friends. We had a fabulous time!

We have nothing but the best to say about our stay at Carla & Kyle’s. The space is so inviting and we were made sure to feel like home. All details, even the tiniest, were taken care of before check in all the while being asked if we needed anything more. The view is wonderful, the accommodations cozy yet luxurious and a great location. 5 stars, would highly recommend. Would love to visit again soon :) Thank you again for everything!!
