When booked it was listed with Wi-fi which was later removed. This would have affected my initial booking. The location was great though which was a bonus ##### John M.

Great u could park the car right next to shack. Could walk everywhere in the town and coastal walks. The place was very quiet, clean and tidy but the outside lawn area needs some major tlc and there was no outside light. ##### Paige T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sam L. Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Cute tiny house but.... The location of the rental is great! It's right up the street from the bicheno blow hole and a short walk or drive to most of the shops and restaurants in town. I also enjoyed the neighbor cat that frequently likes to hang out next to the property. I was kind of bummed that the listing mentions wifi and television but there was no wifi and the tv only had music channels. The bed was stiff and had stains on the comforter. ##### Sam L.

I liked the outside dining set and fire pit. Unfortunately the Venetian blind was jammed open so we had no privacy for entire visit. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Cache Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Cache-Creek-Hotels.d181760.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Casino Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d178288-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Aura del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Zihuatanejo-Hotels-Hotel-Aura-Del-Mar.h1152128.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Stonebridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonebridge-Saskatoon-Hotels.0-n553248635976007256-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Air Canada Montreal (YUL) to New York (LGA) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl-to-laguardia/ac/yul/lga) > > [Flights from Sault Ste.
