Clean, stocked, cozy and a perfect location

We absolutely loved our experience at Fernwood by the Sea. The location could not be beat, such an easy walk to the beach, coffee shops, Tacofino and so much more. The house is so clean, well equipped and with great info about the area. I will absolutely be back! We booked two houses in the neighborhood and it worked perfectly.

Good location. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off surf gear and its close proximity to the hot tub. Requested an iron and ironing board and it was brought very quickly. Loved having the boot/glove dryers too.

Awesome location for surfing and beach walks. Loved the house and the hottub on the back deck. Great for little crawlers and walkers because there aren’t any stairs. We had a few issues with the cleanliness of the property, but the property managers were very responsive and quickly helped out with the issues.
