Oceanfront Luxury Guest Suite and Sauna in a Rustic Natural setting

10/10 Excellent
"Simply beautiful. So thoughtfully designed, with obvious attention to every detail. A small space perfect for a couple, that doesn’t feel small, but light-filled and airy. Every window frames a gorgeous view. Our host was quickly responsive to any questions, and left a guide with thorough instructions on how to use everything, ideas for hikes and activities and useful info on local businesses. Although attached to the host’s home, the suite was completely private. The bathroom and shower - gorgeous. Comfortable bed. Fresh flowers in a bud vase on the counter when we arrived. Great hikes and natural beauty on Denman. We were completely charmed by the island, loved this beautiful accommodation and can’t wait to return. The humpback whales that we could see and hear from our deck were a magical extra touch."
