We were in town visiting family and found this rental filled all of our needs. Big enough for five adults and a very well equipped kitchen! The view from the deck was amazing and would consider returning.
It was an incredible place with a wonderful view. The facility was so clean on the grounds and inside the house. They had so much available in the kitchen, the towels, linen and blankets and we didn’t want for anything. It was so organized and clean, and the property was immaculate. They really went above and beyond supplying the necessities to have the perfect vacation. The communication between the host was really good and they always got back to us with any questions that we had. We are definitely coming back.
Perfect spot on the ocean with a lovely beach for wading and swimming. The house was extremely well equipped with abundant towels, kitchen tools, and anything else we might need.
Gorgeous location and lovely house! It was perfect for our family of two adults and four teenagers. The kids had a great time in the tide pools nearby, and it was a great home base for exploring Vancouver Island. Check in was smooth as could be, and the house was well-equipped for anything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Wonderful quiet family house with ocean-view balcony near beach
We had a great stay at this wonderful house! We loved the ocean-view, the large garden, the BBQ-Grill, the space and everything! The kids loved playing table-tennis and darts. We had perfect weather and went swimming in the sea every day.
The property is stunning. Plenty of room for the whole family and mother in law.
The manager was very good with communication.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the place.
Beautiful property in a stunning setting.
Access to the sea, with wonderful gardens to enjoy made it a joyful family holiday for us.
I hope we can go there again in the future.
Beautiful large space , so many nice touches and all the amenities . We really enjoyed it. Lots of rooms for everyone to find quiet space or social spaces . Down the road a couple hundred metres is a nice park with easier access for kayaking low or high tide .
Beautiful location on the bay with views through trees. Our multi generational family all found activities and places to be together and alone. So many amenities and comfy furnishings.
We thoroughly enjoyed this property with our family of 6. House is dated but really clean. Nice grill to bbq your meals and all the kitchen supplies you’ll need. Nice and quiet property!! Thanks for sharing your home!!
This home truly feels like a home and not just a staged room. It offers lots of comfortable seating, a great view, and enough room and privacy for everyone. The heating always works perfectly, providing a cozy atmosphere, and the warm water has great pressure. The kitchen was so well-equipped! We cooked every day and were pleasantly surprised to find everything we needed for cooking, baking, and BBQ. Having a fire pit available outside was simply amazing, and the property overall is so peaceful. Everything was clean, and the host even decorated for Christmas and left us a goodie basket with delicious cookies and Nanaimo bars. We absolutely loved our stay, and communication with the host was excellent.
What a beautiful property! Just perfect for a long weekend family gathering. We had kids to grandparents, and everyone had a wonderful time. Highlights for us were :
- excellent bedroom layouts - having the bunkbeds with the queen bed was perfect for our family!
-2 living rooms for different lounging activities
- the garage with ping pong table, darts, and a whole lot of beach gear
- well stocked kitchen. Pretty much everything you could want for cooking is available, with lots of dishes. Dishwasher was a welcome bonus
- the balcony with incredible ocean view. And the large garden for enjoying the bird song and sounds of nature
- beach access only a moment away, with wonderful tide pools and rocks for climbing.
Thank you for opening up your home and providing an unforgettable experience!
Our family has lived in the Yellow Point area for nearly 40 years. We used to own a small resort called Mermaid Cove which is just down the road. Before that we used to come to the area regularly and rent a cottage. We love this area and know it well and we've been hosting and helping others discover its beauty and relaxed lifestyle for decades.
Why they chose this property
Yellow Point Escape sits on one of the prettiest coves in the area. In summer the ocean provides a great place for viewing wildlife, hikes on the beach or in the forest, swimming, boating and more. In the spring and fall the swimming may be for the more adventuresome but the storm watching, hiking, and wildlife viewing are just as good. We are close to great hiking trails and parks but also close to all the amenities from groceries to fine dining. We are near ferry's, highways and airports but also deep in the country. You can enjoy movies, theatre or live music in Nanaimo just 20 minutes away or visit the lovely small town of Ladysmith 20 minutes in the other direction. Day trips will take you to wine country in the Cowichan Valley or walks in old growth forests. You can go whale watching, take a guided kayak trip or tour the Gulf Islands. Its a very central location for a lot of what Vancouver Island has to offer.
What makes this property unique
We love the cove. The walk on gently sloped beach is great for children and adults alike. The tide goes out a long way and when it comes back in the water is warmed by its trip back over the sand. The sandstone formations along its edges make for easy walking and provide lots of space for a picnic. Poking around through tidal pools teeming with life is a perfect way to spend a morning. Campfires at night give you a chance to go over the days adventures and enjoy the quiet of waves coming into the shore.
The house is large but feels homey with snug rooms that are perfect for long conversations and family gatherings and allow the space from someone to curl up with a book while others play a game of darts or table tennis or catch up on television programmes.
The deck has comfortable seating and a large table to allow for al fresco dining on food straight from the barbeque.
It is the perfect place to try out the West Coast lifestyle.
