Lovely getaway
We loved our stay last week! It was quiet and peaceful. The home is lovely, open and airy. It’s well equipped and a close walk to French beach which was fun for the kids to play (and it had a nice playground as well!) We would stay again!

Rainforest chalet a peaceful oasis!
We loved our visit! The chalet was cozy, clean and very comfortable. The wood fired sauna was a great experience. The Sheringham loop hike, and short walk to French Beach were beautiful. Thanks for a great stay.

Family getaway
The chalet and property are beautiful. The chalet had everything you could possibly want for meal prep and relaxation- lovely amenities and well curated. The property was outstanding with the sauna, hammock, porch and lots of lovely yard to explore. The proximity to French Beach puts this property over the top with easy walk to the amazing sand and sunsets. Hosts were very responsive to all queries.

A quiet oasis
We had a wonderful time - the house is beautiful and quaint, with a well-stocked and well-kept kitchen and comfortable beds. The house is steps away from French Beach Provincial Park (and the ocean) down a "magical fairy trail" which was great for our children. Thank you!

VRBO gave poor service
Property was great. Walked to the edge of French Beach. We were not given the access code in a responsible manner. We should have received the access code when you charger our credit card not just prior to check-in. We did not have cell or internet service for 10 days prior to check-in date. We expected someone to meet us at the house at 4 pm. No one arrived. We made at least 5 calls to the host but got voice mail. We did receive a call the next day. We waited for 2 hours for someone to come to the house. We finally left to find alternate accommodation. Fortunately at a new resort a staff member gave us their wifi code to check our e-mail. There was a message with the access code which worked. The experience was very stress producing and a total waste of time. As a result we want a refund for the administrative charges that VRBO assesses. We are not sure if we will book again through VRBO. We were very disappointed and irritated by our experience. We expect a refund.

Amazing stay
We had such a relaxing and beautiful stay. The home is beautiful. Has everything you would need for a relaxing getaway. The property is lush and so relaxing. The kids loved adventuring down the path to the beautiful beach. The sunset at the beach was stunning. Thank you so much for offering your home. We would absolutely love to come back. Will absolutely recommend to friends. Thanks again from our family to yours!

Couldn’t be happier!
Beautiful property, well appointed, all the amenities and of course the location is amazing. If you like to see wildlife on the property every day (deer, rabbits and an owl), waking up to birdsongs and being able to walk to the ocean then book this beautiful home!

comfortable home and top notch kitchen!
My family of 6 stayed in Mike's house for a 10 day stay. We were fortunate to be some of the first guests in this recently updated home. The kitchen was very well equipped with new appliances & quality tools for everything we needed as a foodie family! The 2 queen beds were very soft and comfortable with great linens & pillows. The pullout couch was perfect our youngest kids. It was apparent that our hosts were very conscious when they equipped the house as no details were overlooked. The driveway to the house is quite hidden and narrow so wanted to give potential renters the heads up but there is plenty of parking space once you arrive at the house. One of the best rentals we have had over the years and we'll definitely be back!
