Quick Stay
I just needed a bed for the night. Property was easy to find and access, and the suite was clean and had everything I needed. There were a couple of double/queen pull out sofas in the suite that would be perfect for a family.

Girls weekend
Our host was friendly, attentive, and informative. The property was clean and comfortable. We had a BBQ the first night and ate out for the other 2 nights. For breakfast we appreciated the options provided. The queen bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our weekend getaway and would stay here again. So much to explore on the island.
This was exactly as advertised. Lovely spot on the island. Chrissy

A good experience
Five of us was very crowded in this little suite, one bed room with a queen bed, 1 cough and 1 futon sofa, but We can’t find anyplace for 5 people to rent. There is no kitchen no sink and we stay for 3 nights 2 days. The BBQ stove is good used, and the owner help us wash all the dirty dishes, may be with a toaster even better. downside is you can’t use two appliances at a same time, otherwise the power break jump, that happened but the owner replied my message and fixed it right away. The second day night the power was out cause by the wind storm good thing we just finished our dinner. No water no toilet, thanks for the owner warned us by message to prepare and brought us candles. Anyway it was a very good experience to travel this little island, friendly people quite neighborhood, the places must go are the brickyard beach, there was a sea of oyster when low tides, the Malaspina Galleries is a must.
Very joyful trip and we will back again.

Very comfortable and great location
This was a very nice one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite in the larger house. The bathroom is spacious and modern. The whole unit is very clean. We loved the roku TV, though it's in the bedroom, not the common area. My kid slept on the futon and was comfortable. There's no sink in the "kitchenette" area, and so we put the dishes in the bowl as instructed and left it on the front porch. They didn't get washed, but we were only there 2 nights, so maybe that's why. Wasn't a big deal.
Excellent location, and we love Gabriola Island!
