“Best Vacation of My Life!”

Reviewed 23 Apr 2017

Can't say enough about this waterfront vacation rental set on 3 acres. The accommodations were just as advertised: clean neat, and in good repair. The location is superb - great sunrises and sunsets, close to everything you could possibly need, Boldt Castle is close by and can be seen from the property and offers incredible views. Diving in the area is the best I have ever experienced - lots of wrecks - reminders of Gordon Lightfoot. Five star gourmet dining to casual fare. Everything was as advertised and the Landlord went to exceptional lengths to ensure that our vacation was perfect. Will definitely be back.

Response from the owner I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our idyllic waterfront home! I know that the huge 3-acre property and the privacy and security afforded by our beautiful home were definite pluses to your vacation pleasure. I strive to be a superior Landlord, and provide fabulous holidays for my tenants. Wonderful accolades like yours help me to know that I have succeeded, and bring joy to my heart. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments.
