Amanda has a beautiful home. We were very comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. One of the best stocked Vrbo’ s that I have stayed in. She had more than expected! Well stocked kitchen! We loved the fresh farm eggs! Would highly recommend for a very comfortable home away from home stay!

Great cosy house on the Sunshine Coast!

Amanda was amazing and helped us find the place. The house is brand new and very cutely decorated. It has everything you need to spend some amazing vacations in a peaceful place.

Great spot on a couple acres. Perfect for families and our pup loved the yard. Our power briefly went out and the host had messaged us, before I did. Great communication. Close to town- looking forward to visiting again.

Newly built rancher on a woodland lot on the east side of the highway. Excellent modern styled accommodation. Highlights, in no particular order, include cleanliness, comfortable beds, fancy bathrooms, nice well stocked kitchen and all needed support from a committed owner. Thoughtful touches included arrival goodies.

Our stay was absolutely tremendous! Our host, Amanda, was very quick in responding to texts. Her home was very well equipped, very clean, and super comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials plus an Instant Pot and Air Fryer. I was pleasantly surprised! Amanda was super thoughtful stocking the fridge with a few drinks, farm fresh eggs and snacks. We would not hesitate to stay here again! A 10/10 in my books.

We had a wonderful stay. Just as described, the home is peaceful and located on a very quiet street. We loved having the fenced backyard that wrapped around to the front of the house so we could let our dog go out with no worries. The house itself was very clean and modern. It had everything we needed including a workout equipment and a full sized washer and dryer. I’m looking forward to returning again in the future! Make sure to check out smuggler Cove which is a short drive away

Wonderful place! The location is fun and a delightful way to get out of Vancouver cramped living. The kitchen is well-equipped (though for a complex holiday meal you may want to bring specialty items—though I will say, we’d already planned to bring those things but the host reached out proactively to ask if there was anything she should stock the kitchen with). It matched the description extremely well. The host was very responsive on the one question we had and had an immediate solution. The bed was very comfortable. Overall it was probably the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in.

Such a great place to stay! Great communication with Amanda. Great pet friendly place first place we have stayed in so long that the dogs could be outside fully fenced yard. We could relax and sit by the under covered area and have a fire and listen to pure quietness! Exactly what we needed a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city!! Super family friendly too hope we can come back with our grandkids. Was a nice surprise travelling all day and coming to such a beautiful home with farm fresh eggs and a few beer! There was also fresh cream in the fridge the one thing I forgot to pick up. We would definately stay here again!!

We wanted a quiet getaway and this property more than lived up to expectations. The location put us close to all the things we like to do on the Sunshine Coast. Loved our daily visits from deer and black bears - the fence made the bear visits much more enjoyable! The house is huge, and Amanda provides so many thoughtful extras that I've never found in vacation properties. That's not even counting the coffee, tea, farm fresh eggs and potent potable mystery gift! Thanks again, Amanda, we hope to be back soon!

Relaxing Stay

It was a beautiful brand new house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Very comfortable, inviting and very clean. There was a great patio with furniture to lounge on and an eating table for a great BBQ or get together with friends. The kitchen was large and stocked up with all the necessities needed. Finding the house was a little challenging yet Amanda’ instructions were bang on. The key to the house was exactly where we were told it would be. This is a great house in a tranquil setting on the Sunshine Coast. A great time was had by all!!

Super hospitable location

Great accommodations. Attended BC Cup downhill racing at Coast Gravity. 30 mins away from mountain, but it was perfect! Two bedrooms, BBQ, en-suite laundry, and a garage to ensure bikes were safe and secure overnight. Not having to cram into a hotel room. It was a great surprise to open the fridge and find farm fresh eggs along with local craft beer!! Also, Starbucks coffee and creamer. Very this lfuneeded.

This clean and bright home met our family's needs perfectly. It was exactly half way (20 minutes) from family in both Sechelt and Pender Harbour. Obvious thought had gone into supplying the home with everything needed. We used the well stocked kitchen a lot, the fenced yard was great for our small kids, and the house layout with bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect for the four of us. The host was very quick with communication and extremely helpful. The nights were blissfully quiet in this private setting. Probably one of the best properties that we have stayed in. We will be back!

Home Away From Home Lovely new home in a forest setting. Spacious living quarters and backyard with gas fire table. Ideal for people with a pet or children. Comfortable beds. Inclusion of hygiene items like Q-tips & cotton pads. TVs in bedrooms & living room. Nicely stocked kitchen with welcome gifts for us and our dog. Timely communication with owner. The place was spotless. We highly recommend this place for a few days to a week.
