Beach House Chemainus
This is a nice property. It is very well equipped, comfortable, has above average decor and furniture. The beds were comfortable and the bed linens and towels were great. The upstairs suite was occupied for some of our stay and it was a bit noisy but not overly so. We had a couple of minor issues while we were there but the property management company was very responsive. The outside patio was lovely and we enjoyed sitting and looking at the ocean.

We stayed four six days and used this rental as a base as we toured southern Vancouver island. The apartment is beautifully appointed and the patio has a beautiful view and a wonderful fireplace which we used evening.

Beautiful view, gorgeous home, lovely bedrooms and kitchen appliances, outstanding dishes, cutlery, and cookware.First time dealing with a management company and using an app to check in, being a senior I found it somewhat confusing. The door timer hasn’t been adjusted for the time change, fortunately we didn’t get locked out. We enjoyed our stay and had fun at the Sip and Shop held in town. Thank you.

House was cold and it took until the next day until floor got comfortable warm.
Nice location but maybe noisy if people were in the upper half of the house.
