Family & dog friendly for 6 people - walking distance to 4 lakes!

10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely 10 for a retreat rental. Very private despite the owners occupying the top floor of this three-story building. The rental is for the entire second floor with private entrance, and a wrap around veranda with outdoor furniture, and a beautiful view of of the bay (Pender Harbour.) It also has a propane fire pit for those cool nights. Owners Michelle and Dave are wonderful hosts. Dave’s cinnamon buns are a must try. I suggest to order them upon check-in. Dave will have them ready for you for breakfast the next morning, piping hot and freshly baked. We brought out small dog and spent two nights here to explore the surrounding wonderful beaches, trails, and weekend markets. Our dog loves this place too as the owners have two very friendly and playful dogs. On this booking site there is no option to add a dog, and the typed-in note does not seemed to be passed along in the booking. But the hosts will add the one-time dog fee as an add-on after you’ve checked in, and then you can pay via the booking site. I recommend this place, for its location and facilities. To us it is a perfect journey hub to the Sunshine Coast."
