The Space:
A renovated 1940's, 1800 square foot main floor suite. Beautiful ocean and garden views, bright and open. Lots of room for parking. Full kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Two living/sitting rooms: one bright and airy sunroom with a pullout bed and one huge living room with ocean view, gas fireplace, flat screen TV and dining area. The house features beautiful local and international art work and high-end furniture and finishes. I live in this suite when it is not rented so it is very well-equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay.
Two bedrooms and pullout couch are on the main floor and the third bedroom is just down a flight of stairs as you enter the house. The laundry room is also downstairs (shared with basement suite). The master bedroom has a king sized bed and 2 luxury ensuite bathrooms (1 with walk-in shower, 2nd with tub/shower); the other two bedrooms each have a queen-sized bed. Brand new memory foam sofa bed in the sunroom (main floor) can accommodate 2 more people (for a total of 8 sleeping guests). The third bathroom with tub/shower and heated tile floors is also on the main floor and is shared between the other two bedrooms.
This property features a large yard with ocean views, open and covered patio areas with Weber BBQ, flower gardens, an orchard, and veggie and herb gardens for your dining pleasure (seasonal!). Very comfortable and welcoming. Please note: My property is next to the Pat Bay Highway, so you will hear moderate road noise during peak traffic times of day when you are out in the yard.
The kitchen has everything you need to feel at home. Tea, locally roasted coffee, sugar, preserves and select spices are included. Help yourselves to condiments, sauces and any creamers left in the fridge as well!
Guest Access:
Full kitchen, two living rooms, wireless internet, Netflix (sorry no cable TV), large yard with a small orchard (apples, pears and plums), two open patios, one large covered patio (shared with basement suite), and a Weber BBQ.
A shared laundry room with brand new washer and dryer is available for stays of 5 nights or longer. There are five steps to get into the home, then everything is on one level (except laundry room & 3rd bedroom) so very walker/wheelchair friendly once inside.
Bathrooms have fresh towels, hair dryer and soap for your use and bedrooms have spare linens for lengthier stays. Bedrooms and bathrooms all have big opening windows so you can enjoy fresh ocean air during your stay!
Interaction with Guests:
I will not be at the house during your visit, but will be available at all times should you need anything!
House Rules:
This is a non-smoking home and property. NO EXCEPTIONS! $50 fine for smoking anywhere on the property. Please treat my home with respect and care for it the way you would care for a space you love. I have other guests in my basement suite, so please be respectful of noise, especially at night and early in the morning (including heavy footsteps...). Quiet hours are between 10pm and 8am. $200 fine if a neighbour complains or if the police are called to the house.
Laundry room is only available for stays of 5 nights or longer.
Pets are welcome with approval first, but they are not permitted on the beds or on the furniture. There is a one-time $50 fee for pets.
If you use the BBQ, you must clean it after (scrape and brush), turn off the propane and put the cover back on.
Lastly, please strip the beds, wash your dishes, turn off the heat and lights, and put any used towels and linens in a pile outside the laundry room before you check-out. Thank you!
