This upper room/loft is ideally located on the shore of beautiful Departure Bay, and provides for a great starting point to explore the east coast of the Island. Comfortable beds in two separate sleeping areas was appreciated, as well as the fully functional kitchen.The room is accessed through a private entrance and up a flight of stairs. Guests should also bring along a comfy pair of house slippers for the hardwood floors.

Clean rooms and comfortable beds . Beautiful view from one bedroom overlooking ocean . Kitchen was ok however we felt we did not have enough cupboards space for the length of our space. Great space for short stays 2-4 days . We stayed 3 months and we felt we ran out of space . First time staying in a space overtop of landlord , not my preference , I felt very conscious on my every step. Furniture in front room not comfortable for older adults . Host tried to keep contact throughout stay and make sure we were ok and to provide guidelines which was disruptive again due to being in her home on top floor she was very concerned about conditions of her floors and bedding . Not my idea situation and I will make sure my next booking is NOT upstairs of landlords . My preference is to be in separate space from landlords.
