There are many little homely touches that take this accommodation to the next level and make it feel like a home away from home. There is a built in DVD player in the TV so you can bring a favorite DVD to watch during the evening. Unfortunately for us on the evening we stayed there was clouds on the horizon so we didn’t get to see the sunset. The water was calm and there was no whales at this time. It was to cold in the evening so we spent less time outside or even with the balcony doors open because it was so cold. This place would be perfect and ideal during the warmer weather months. My only criticism of the property was that the feature doors and windows had obviously not been cleaned for quite some time and detracted from the view / ambience. I left a note to this effect. So future guests take note if anything was done. Overall it was an amazing place and location and I would highly recommend it to anyone and would definitely consider staying there again. PS, I couldn’t find my email with the code for the key lockbox. I was able to easily contact them and they were able to supply me the code. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ross Apr 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The unit was sparsely furnished, one small couch, washing machine but no dryer, TV service went out mid way through our stay, furnishings that were present were minimalist in quality and comfort. ##### Ross ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Gateway Hotel In Toronto International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Hotel-In-Toronto-International-Airport.h4826.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Pete Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Pete-Beach-Hotels.d9802.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Paradisus Playa del Carmen – Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Paradisus-Playa-Del-Carmen-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h4488514.Hotel-Information) > > [The Noble Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Smiths-Falls-Hotels-The-Noble-Suites.h9816610.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [The Explorean Cozumel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozumel-Hotels-The-Explorean-Cozumel-All-Inclusive.h8420948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gibsons](https://www.expedia.ca/Gibsons-Hotels.d55313.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6057934-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chilliwack East by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Chilliwack-East.h65699956.Hotel-Information) > > [WaltDisneyWorldResort Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Resort.0-0-d178294--bWaltDisneyWorldResort.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas Strip](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip-Las-Vegas-Hotels.0-n800045-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Qingdao (TAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/tao/vancouver-to-qingdao) > > [Flights from Moscow (SVO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/svo/yyz/moscow-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/ord/buffalo-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Comox (YQQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yqq/victoria-to-comox) > > [Flights from Happy Valley - Goose Bay (YYR) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyr/yhz/goose-bay-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fra/toronto-to-frankfurt) > > [flights from fort frances municipal airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yag/flights-from-fort-frances-municipal-airport) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Bari (BRI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bri/montreal-to-bari) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to British Columbia (YAZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yaz/vancouver-to-tofino) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Chatham Kent](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Chatham-Kent.d6057866-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Cameron Speedway & Amusements](https://www.expedia.ca/Cameron-Speedway-Amusements-Hamilton.d553248621562267996.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Northern California](https://www.expedia.ca/Northern-California.dx6229628)
