Our stay at this Deep Bay home was fabulous. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well equipped. Being directly on the oceanfront was wonderful, with spectacular views and plentiful marine wildlife. We saw sea lions, seals, sea otters and a wide variety of sea birds all from the seated area by the sea. The highlight was when 3 orcas swam past about 200 yards off shore. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful Spot on the water

We had a short stay here in February, with 5 adults and a 3 yr old. Great property, simple but clean and charming beach house, and beautiful natural environment with migrating birds, seals and sea lions in abundance. Would love to go back in the summer months.

Peaceful and beautiful

The best place I’ve ever stayed in my life! There is everything you need there.You can see sea lions swimming from inside of the house everyday, you can pick oysters and clams right in front of the house, we loved chilling at the front yard watching ocean. Our main purpose to stay there was to relax, and it was perfect.

Wonderful Beach house!

My family and I loved our stay at the beach house - it’s in a central location on the island to many hikes and attractions. There were days that we just hung out and found sea shells, walked along the private beach, watched seals and went paddle boarding (we rented an inflatable paddle board for the week). The property was clean and the kitchen well stocked with everything we could need for cooking.

4-Day weekend

We had a great time staying at the house. The wildlife out the back door was incredible. The kids loved playing in the rocks and around the corner at the sandy beach. The location is central for the North side of the island. We spent a day in Tofino and another day up near Port Hardy. Thank you!

Picturesque and Relaxing

This is a beautiful house with one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen! Especially at sunset! The house is comfortable and it's obvious the owner has put thought into equipping it with all the little things you may not have thought to pack. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and would definitely stay again if we ever return to beautiful Vancouver Island!

Excellent beachfront family house

We absolutely loved the location, layout and amenities of this house! Sea lions, eagles, seals etc were constantly visible from the living room, and long beach walks at low tide were a daily routine. The mid-century modern house was surprisingly spacious with large bedrooms and living areas - more than enough space for 6 of us. The kitchen was well-stocked, the house was very clean and nicely decorated. This was an awesome place to spend a family week getaway, with lots of good day trips in close proximity.
