Peace and quiet

Host has really gone above and beyond to have a nice, welcoming and well-equipped space to stay. We were comfortable and wish we could have spent more time than just a quick overnight. Would book again. Great communication as well. Is really only a 5 minutes from the highway in a quiet neighborhood, don’t let the map deter you!

Very Comfortable Lodging

Female ravelling alone, safety was a priority and I certainly felt safe! The suite is very clean and has all the amenties one needs and more. Enjoyed having coffee pods and the cookies from the generous goodie basket. Nola is very welcoming and approachable. Definitely would ask to book the suite again. Thank you.

Nice, comfortable place. Willing to come back.

This property is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The room is clean and has everything what you need for a short vacation. The fridge had a few drinks and yogurts. We also found some fruits and snacks. The kitchen was stuffed very well. I would recommend to include salt and pepper.

Sweetest loft and nicest hosts

I rented this space for my grandparents whole they were looking for a home on the island. The hosts were so thoughtful and accommodating. They made sure my grandparents were safe and comfortable from the first day. They really went above and beyond what we could have asked for. As far as the space goes- the pics don’t do it justice! The loft feels large. Great sized fridge and everything you could need available and more. The views from the property are next level. This spot was really an incredible find and my family is so grateful for you!

Nice extra touches and I recommend it.

Comfortable spacious suite above garage attached to a gorgeous seaside home in very quiet neighborhood . Super comfy bed, nice linens, lots of towels. Seating options include arm chairs in sitting area, a 2 chair dinette in kitchenette area and an outdoor dinette next to entry downstairs. Extra touches include a snack basket, water dispenser, bottled water and other beverages in good sized bar fridge/freezer, plus coffee, tea, creamer and sugar. Nola is friendly and welcoming and answers queries quickly. Big bonus is the aircon. It works well and there is a ceiling fan and floor fan too.

Private and Peaceful neighborhood

Bright and spacious studio suite on top of Workshop with beautiful view of fountain and landscaped yard. Beautifully decorated with blue accent chairs and bedcovers. 2 sitting areas for your coffee and meals. Fan and AC when it gets warm. A dresser and portable clothes rack to hang your clothes.. Games and books provide. Fell asleep to the sound of the fountain.Kingsize bed is very comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen with all needed to prepare you meals. Mini fridge with a separate freezer compartment-it’s a bonus when you like ice and frozen water bottles . Great welcome package with a basket of chip bags, creamer in the fridge for the coffee pods provide to get us started. All of Nola’s personal touch definitely made us filled welcomed. Minutes away from Schooner Cove Marina where our boat is mooraged for the week. Nola and her husband are super friendly and very prompt with their responses to my questions. We extended our stay to check out the area as our potential new home . Would recommend this place for your getaway away in Nanoose Bay.

Lovely loft studio in Nanoose Bay

Nola was super responsive to our inquiries and has it set up for easy check in. Very tidy suite with all amenities needed. Surprised me when I found rice and a rice cooker on the rack with kitchen supplies. She provided supplies to enjoy our first few days- coffee, Creamer, napkins. Chips. All the thoughtful gesture was appreciated,Nola! We’ll be back!
