The house was very clean and well decorated. All the bedrooms were spacious and matresses were comfortable.Full sized kitchen with dishwasher was very convienent. Our host had great communication and everything was labeled with instructiins nicely in the house. The sauna works great and we would definitely recommend staying here!
This is a really nice property with a great view just south of Campbell River. The place is well equipped, the access well organised, and it is a most comfortable place to be.
Our family recently stayed at this beautiful gem. Ample room of us and our teen sons, the back yard is spectacular with lots of room for frisbee and even a visiting deer. The sauna was a lovely option too and a nice way to wind down in the evenings. The morning view watching the sun rise over the water was an amazing way to start each day. The location is great overall. The hosts are incredibly responsive and make sure you have everything you need.
Beautiful property in a fab location just a few minutes drive south of Campbell River. The house itself was very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. Everything was finished to a luxury, five star standard. The fire table out the front was the perfect place to sit at sunset, watching all the bald eagles. All communication from hosts was quick and helpful. Fantastic experience all round. :)Great places to visit are Elk Falls, Oyster River Upper Potholes (be cautious of times that logging roads are open, and make sure you're in a 4x4!), McIvor Lake Park, Buttle Lake Trail at Strathcona.

Magnificent house but bring ear plugs
This cottage is very beautiful, perfectly equipped and lovely decorated. The hosts did an excellent job BUT the highway in front of the house was ruining our positive experience. We did not use the patio in front of the house because it was too noisy. We also had difficulties to sleep because you can also hear the noise in the bedrooms when having the windows open and the air ventilation system is also noisy. We were really looking forward to staying in Campbell river because it was our last accommodation in our holidays but it was disappointing for us. The word „tranquility“ in your description should be erased, sorry. However this place is a perfect starting point for whale watching and if you do not mind the noise, it is a perfect choice.

Dear Klaus,
Thank you for your kind words about the beauty, decor, and amenities of our home. We take great pride in ensuring our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we appreciate your positive feedback.
However, we were surprised and saddened to hear that the noise from the road impacted your experience. This is the first time we have received such negative feedback despite hosting over 150 guests across multiple platforms, many of whom have highlighted the tranquility and oceanfront views.
Nearly all oceanfront properties in Campbell River are located along the main road, as shown in our VRBO map and photos. Being close to the road is a trade-off for the stunning ocean views and convenient access to local attractions such as whale watching. For a more secluded experience, properties further inland without the ocean view may be a better fit.
Regarding the road noise, our windows are soundproof, and we have never received noise complaints from inside the home. Closing the windows at night would have solved this. Additionally, we provide a portable AC unit for comfort during warmer weather.
We understand that there may be cultural differences in expectations. Forced air HVAC systems are common in Canada and may differ from hvac systems in Germany. While they may not be as quiet as some European systems, they are typical for North America and generally well-tolerated by our guests.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive to improve.
The property reminds me of a modern cabin- it looks like something out of a magazine or on Hgtv and is very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable! It was really nice to have an affordable place with 3 beds- and 3 comfortable beds at that. No pull outs! There are lots of grounds and tons of outdoor space. The large fire table and large deck out on the front deck with an ocean view is spectacular to enjoy. We saw some cruise ships go by at night. The sauna out back is also an extra special bonus and was much enjoyed! This property has everything you need and all the comforts of home plus more! The property is across the road from the ocean, so you can see and hear a few cars from the front deck but we could not hear anything from inside the bedrooms and the ocean view is still up close and expansive. The recommendations we tried from the digital guide book were amazing. At Dockside fish and chips - the fish and chips were the best we’ve ever had and the dockside allows for viewing seals! The 50 parallel bar and grill was a delicious and a well priced in dining experience. Everyone was extremely nice at both places. Elks falls with the suspension bridge was only about a 10 minute drive and was only about a 15 min walk to some amazing waterfalls! Storey creek golf course is very scenic and there are lots of amazing golf courses around! There is so much to see and do very close by around the area - we didn’t get a chance to do all we wanted too so we will be back!
We hebben hele fijne dagen gehad. Het huisje is heel erg leuk ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Je kunt zelfs op verschillende manieren koffie zetten met de koffie en expresso die aanwezig is. De bedden waren heerlijk. Het was super om wakker te worden en met een kop thee over de oceaan uit te kijken. Het museum in Campbell river is een aanrader. We hebben daarnaast een aantal mooie hikes gedaan. Mochten we hier weer in de buurt komen dan zouden we dit huis zeker weer huren.
