Our hosts were very accommodating and polite.
The place was extremely clean and tidy.
The location was excellent with many convenient amenities and attractions nearby.
Beautiful location in Mill Bay. Gorgeous views both from inside the suite and from the garden and beach. Lovely, warm hosts with great attention to detail. Can walk into the village and to Brentwood.
Clean but no private entrance. Nice view, welcoming, nice views, and right at ocean.

Everything about this rental was amazing. From start to finish, everything went as smooth as can be. We love it and will be back again
Isabelle met my wife and I. She was extremely warm and helpful especially with our heavy luggage. The place was kept very clean and neat. Good size bathroom but the shower was rather small. The location was perfect for us to visit the Brentwood College School which is practically next door
We booked this apartment for our daughter as it was close to Brentwood School. The school is a short walk away. The apartment is spacious, super clean and has a beautiful view of the bay. Fiona was exceptional. Super fast in responding to messages and always very kind, friendly and helpful. It was as if our daughter was staying with a family friend. Thank you vary much Fiona!
We loved Fiona and Isabella's beautiful home, their warmth, and especially their sweet dogs, Jackson and Maggie. The upstairs rental was well equipped and nicely decorated. The only thing we were a little surprised by is how small the area is with the twin beds; it was hard to tell from the pictures. However, the amazing view from the window there, and the ocean breezes really made up for it.
Thanks for a lovely weekend!
Husband and I and our 12 year-old daughter stay here for three nights while we were in the area for a rugby tournament. The house was so welcoming and made us feel right at ease. The property is beautiful and very secure. The garden is just filled with gorgeous plants and little details everywhere I had to take a lot of pictures. It’s on the waterfront so there’s a view from the window. Yeah there’s a path down to the water or a place to sit in the grass overlooking. It’s very close to many amenities. The room was super large and really comfortable. Everything was spotless. The host thought of everything that we would need in a hotel style room. But hotels don’t have this kind of charm or Detail and certainly you don’t have houses that are this great. We will definitely go back when we’re in the area. Mill Bay is beautiful and a gem of the island
Enjoyed my peacefull stay in Mill bay. Accommodation was perfect and the hosts were great. Would stay there again.

We loved everything about our stay. I almost don’t want to give it a great review so others don’t find this gem. Our hosts were fantastic, knew the area well and were very friendly. One of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at.
The hosts were exceptional and suite was perfect for me. Gorgeous views and attentive, friendly hosts made the stay better than expected. Highly recommend

A wonderful place to stay!
I would highly recommend staying here. Fiona and Isabelle are wonderful, accommodating hosts and it is in a very picturesque setting. I would stay again in a heartbeat if we ever go back to the area. There are great amenities within walking distance and it is centrally located for anything that you would like to do on the east coast of the island.
The suite we stayed in was all we could have wished for. Everything was perfect including the stunning view from the window. Such charming and hospitable hosts. Would highly recommend this accommodation.
Fiona and Isabelle were excellent hosts. The unit suited our needs , was clean and situated close to activities we were interested in.

I had the pleasure of being hosted by two incredible ladies who made my stay unforgettable. When my motorcycle broke down, they didn’t just offer kind words – they personally helped me. They drove me to the ferry and went truly overboard to make sure I was taken care of in the best possible way. Their generosity, hospitality, and kindness went far beyond what anyone could expect.
If you’re looking for a place where the hosts genuinely care, this is it. I cannot recommend them enough!
What a beautiful property! This suite is on the top floor of the host home, so the view is spectacular! (But be warned: there are steep stairs.) The unit is cozy and comfortable and the hosts are very generous and accommodating. It was great to bring our kayak and be able to launch from their beach whenever we wanted to. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay.
We got a warm welcome by Fiona and Isabelle and their 2 dogs. Thank you so much! The house is situation on a marvellous little bay - Mill Bay is quite and nice. The view out of the roof top Appartement is stunning by day and night and you never can get enough of this view. For some days you can find all you need in the Appartement as well as a sweet garden with views and a nice swim directly at the bottom of the house. We always got help and nice advises for our trips around. Perfect grocery shops just next door as well as a nice restaurant at the small harbour.
We can warmly recommend this place for your trip to Vancouver Island!
