Berta was a wonderful host for myself, my friend and my 2-year-old. We appreciated the quiet, private suite and the garden view! The space was cozy, comfortable and well-organized. It is close enough to downtown to have many options for dining and shopping, but far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The host, Berta, was so hospitable. The accommodations were impeccably clean, the soaking tub was wonderful, so much detail was put into the apartment. The garden was beautiful, peaceful and was so enjoyable watching the hummingbirds during the day and hearing the frogs at night. It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to do. Would love to stay here again if visiting Vancouver Island.

Excellent space.

The rooms are exceptionally clean. There wasn't a single thing out of place. The amenities provided are top notch. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows excellent. The location is great it was very close to my sister's place. If you like hiking or running on trails there is a very extensive network just out the door. Would definitely stay again.

My first VRBO experience, and a very positive one

I wanted to be in the Duncan area to connect with a couple of friends in the area. The reviews, price, and location all aligned with what I was looking for. The VRBO suite was comfortable, clean, with all that I needed. The garden area outside the suite was a plus. Berta's directions and text messages were clear and helpful. I highly recommend this place. JD

More Than A Stay Over

Impeccable in every way. The owners of this immaculate property has spared no details. There is a paradise garden that surrounds the suite with calm and beauty and a trail just beyond that offers a taste of the Canadian outdoors. I will stay there again anytime I am in the area.
