Rainforest chalet a peaceful oasis!

We loved our visit! The chalet was cozy, clean and very comfortable. The wood fired sauna was a great experience. The Sheringham loop hike, and short walk to French Beach were beautiful. Thanks for a great stay.

Family getaway

The chalet and property are beautiful. The chalet had everything you could possibly want for meal prep and relaxation- lovely amenities and well curated. The property was outstanding with the sauna, hammock, porch and lots of lovely yard to explore. The proximity to French Beach puts this property over the top with easy walk to the amazing sand and sunsets. Hosts were very responsive to all queries.

A quiet oasis

We had a wonderful time - the house is beautiful and quaint, with a well-stocked and well-kept kitchen and comfortable beds. The house is steps away from French Beach Provincial Park (and the ocean) down a "magical fairy trail" which was great for our children. Thank you!

VRBO gave poor service

Property was great. Walked to the edge of French Beach. We were not given the access code in a responsible manner. We should have received the access code when you charger our credit card not just prior to check-in. We did not have cell or internet service for 10 days prior to check-in date. We expected someone to meet us at the house at 4 pm. No one arrived. We made at least 5 calls to the host but got voice mail. We did receive a call the next day. We waited for 2 hours for someone to come to the house. We finally left to find alternate accommodation. Fortunately at a new resort a staff member gave us their wifi code to check our e-mail. There was a message with the access code which worked. The experience was very stress producing and a total waste of time. As a result we want a refund for the administrative charges that VRBO assesses. We are not sure if we will book again through VRBO. We were very disappointed and irritated by our experience. We expect a refund.
