If you want a quiet comfortable place to stay away from the crowds and the ability to prepare your own meals then this is it. Immaculately clean and everything provided is quality. A perfect central island location to access all the sights. We loved it here! 😊

Our stay here was incredible! We stayed here for 4 nights during the weekend of our wedding after travelling from NWT and it was absolutely perfect! I used it the morning of our wedding to get ready in and it’s a beautiful location! Danielle & Oliver had everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommend if you're looking for such a great spot! Also the bed is sooo comfortable, it was the best sleep ever!

The property was absolutely fantastic...as clean as clean could get, comfy bed and furniture, beautiful kitchen and bathroom, even awesome coffee provided! The host, Danielle, was very personable and takes a lot of pride in what she offers. We would stay here again without hesitation, and we would definitely recommend. The only 'drawback' is that it's a bit of a drive to Victoria (1 hour), but if you don't mind the drive, then this is the place to stay!

Terrific stay

Our family of four had a wonderful and relaxing stay here! We felt very comfortable and had all the amenities one would need for a home away from home. There were thoughtful extras like beach towels, Tupperware, and ice pack that we definitely utilized! The hosts were very professional and prompt with communication. We love the island and hope to return soon! Thank you Danielle for having us!

This space is attached to a bigger house but with separate entrance. The space seems very new, extremely clean. The host was very accessible through messages. The location is a bit far from the main highway, but very calm and beautiful locality.

Nice spot by the marina

We walked across the street to one of Maple Bay’s beautiful serine beaches. Oysters and shells (not edible), and slate rocks to sit on to take in the view. The main bed was comfortable the sofa bed was soft so maybe for kids or one adult. The kitchen was well stocked with all that you need to cook simple meals. Overall, we will come back to this lovely little place.
