After a very long driving trip to and from San Francisco from Vancouver, BC, we decided to take the weekend to relax in a VRBO before returning home. We were very fortuitous to find this property and it was ideal for our purposes -- relaxing, very well equipped and surrounded by the beautiful gardens lovingly tended by our hosts, Juanita and Marty. The cottage is tastefully designed and offers the bonus of a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well suited to our desire to eat in with two fridges, a convection toaster oven, hotplate and nice dishes and other kitchen supplies, not to mention the great view from the kitchen windows. It is also a good central location from which to explore the Island. In short, a cosy and quiet resting place before we returned to the usual challenges of catching up after an extended absence from home. Uncharacteristically, we left something behind and Juanita was very quick to offer to send it to us (which was very much appreciated)
