“Gorgeous! Looking forward to our next visit.” We stayed here for a week. It was a lovely place for us the stay. The kids had a wonderful time playing around the garden. It is a lovely garden with many paths leading here and there to traverse. There are many lovely places to sit and enjoy the view or simply to take a casual stroll though and enjoy the serenity. So first the gardens are wonderful. The amount of work to maintain these is wonderful and I really enjoyed talking with Diana about different aspects of gardening. She gave us a tour all around and we all enjoyed that. The house is older and has lots of charm. The kids loved the bedrooms upstairs. The one is smaller and just seemed the right size for the little ones. All the bed were very comfortable and had lovely bedding, nice smooth sheets and down duvets. We were all very comfortable at night. The kitchen was great the stove and fridge worked well and there was lots of pots and pans for us to use. There is a BBQ and outdoor grill also available. Great for cooking crabs! The view from the property is breathtaking. Its been a couple weeks now and I still miss sitting there in the evening with a glass of wine. Such a lovely relaxing place to stay. We look forward to our next trip. Lastly the jewel of the Boxwood Cottage is Diana herself. She is right next door if you need any info but I never felt that she was intrusive. Very quickly I felt like we were visiting an old friend. She is very busy with the gardens and keeping up the property but was always willing to chat with us and even joke a little with the kids. Looking forward to going back again soon!

“Always a Pleasure” We just returned from our third visit to above the Inlet B & B. As always, it was immaculate, quiet, and an enjoyable stay. This is our home away from home. We have family in Sechelt and so we always appreciate staying at above the Inlet when we come to visit. Peter and Patricia are wonderful inns keepers and we are so thankful for their B & B.

“Relaxing and comfortable stay in Gig Harbor!” My husband, myself, our toddler, and another couple with their toddler, were attending a wedding in Gig Harbor. Wanting to avoid staying at some hotel, we decided to book the Parsonage B&B.; The location was very convenient, the rates were totally reasonable, and the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. After the wedding and putting the babies down for the night, we were able to relax in the hot tub out back. Great way to cap off the night of dancing. When we woke up, we had a lovely breakfast waiting for us. John and Mary, the owners, were friendly, welcoming, and considerate. We enjoyed our time here and hope to get back again soon, for another stay!

“The Perfect Getaway!” I cannot say enough about Ron and Judy O’Brien and their beautiful vacation suite. We just returned from spending 10 days in beautiful Victoria. The suite was so comfortable and had everything we could imagine. Ron and Judy met us when we arrived and familiarized us with our accommodations. They were more than happy to give us some tips on what to see and where to visit, they even suggested some local musical talent that we enjoyed very much. Thanks to both Ron and Judy, our visit was effortless. This was our first experience renting privately. We own several time shares and vacation exclusively through them, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Our stay was exceptional. Thank you Ron and Judy. We hope to see you again sometime.

“Great things do come in small packages” Thanks to Angelika and Rob for their hospitality. Latoria guest suite is ideally situated in a location easily accessible to amenities but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of greater Victoria. You can find yourself in either suburbia, downtown Victoria, or hiking the southern coast of the island all within a 30 minute drive. Olympic View G.C. is right across the road and it was tough for me not to wonder over daily for a round or two. The home comforts provided were valuable during our two week stay while a family member attended Royal Roads University. The building is quiet which is great for studying or rest and relaxation as was our case. Being located in the same building as Red Barn Market was excellent so we were able to quickly pick food items up. Would definitely return in the future.

“Relaxation, comfort and all things to make you feel welcomed into this hidden oasis..” Perfect little get away from every day life. Where there are lots of stores and the market on Saturdays with local artisans, craft people. Along side fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables that are vibrant. Mount Maxwell has a stunning view with great trails and St, Mary's Lake is an incredible view. Coffee shops and restaurants with a beautiful harbour to walk around.. most enjoyable energy on this island.

“We'll be back!” If you're looking for someplace with attentiveness to all the details and more, Ele's Escape is it! Pet-friendly was my first clue it would be wonderful. But I had no idea the food would be so spectacular, the guest room filled with unexpected fun and comfort ( think amazing chocolate, homemade cookies, soft robes and lots more...). The bed was soo soft and cozy, the ocean within view and a 1 minute walk and the hosts incredible. Informative, welcoming and fun, they are some of the best we've experienced. A fantastic place to rejuvinate and play! Click on that reserve button and give yourself (and your pup!) a great gift! Mary M.

“A Piece of Paradise Indeed” On our visit to Seattle we selected this property to spend the weekend. We had been traveling through the North Cascade highway admiring the variety of magnificent views of mountains, with tops full of snow, rivers and lakes. We had a lot of "wow" moments. Once we arrived to this property we realized that the "wow" moments continued. The view of the Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains from the living/dining room and the deck is just spectacular. We also enjoyed the variety of plants/colors in the garden.The property is very well kept and has everything one may need to spend time away from home. I particularly liked the clawfoot tub. If I was to change anything, I would help the owners of the property behind the deck trim the branches of the trees that partially obstruct some of the view of the sound/mountains; it is not much but it would definitely be a plus. All in all, this no doubt, is an excellent place to spend a relaxing time.

“Superb Suite, Lovely Location” We had a fantastic stay in the Myrtle Suite while escaping our condo reno project! The Suite was the perfect home-away-from-home for us. It is cozy, new, spacious, clean, quiet, well stocked and equipped with all the essentials! I am particularly envious of the full kitchen; we wish our kitchen was this nice. And, the roomy bathroom (oh, great shower!), comfy bed, and the handy in-suite washer/dryer were much appreciated during our stay which felt more like a mini-vacation. So glad we didn't choose a hotel room! One of the highlights of our stay was the neighbourhood - great for walks and the views of the North Shore Mountains are the bonus. But, the nearby East Village is really special. It's the best kept secret for a local experience. There are lots of hip eateries (Tacofino, Campagnolo and Red Wagon) and culinary artisan shops like Moccia (eg Fig Tuscan sausages), Schokolade (handmade chocolates), and the Black Rook bake house...yum. We've lived in Vancouver for years and only discovered this off-the-beaten-track hood while staying at the Suite...crazy but true. So, if you're visiting Vancouver and want a real local experience with superb and good value accommodation, then we highly recommend the Myrtle Suite. The other highlight was the hospitable owner, Toni. She was so accommodating and we felt very welcomed in her home. Toni, thank you so much for the fresh tomatoes from your cute garden, a sample of your delicious Naughty Crow granola, and for the wine - all lovely personal touches that made our stay more memorable! You have a beautiful home and we wish we could have stayed longer; but we'll definitely direct our visiting friends and relatives to the Myrtle Suite!
