General overview
Our house is a cozy two-story ½ duplex at the edge of a wildlife corridor. The back yard garden space is set-up for outdoor living, with a covered deck, a variety of seating, and a barbeque. Included in the garden is a vegetable plot, berry bushes, and potted herbs, of which guests are welcome to pick when in season. Our house is uncluttered and inviting with; plush recliner seating in the living room (DVD collection & Netflix are available for guest use), a cozy dining room, a kitchen with high quality tools and abundant supplies, three washrooms (1 with a full tub/shower, 1 with a shower), a primary bedroom with a queen-sized bed (featuring a high end Dormeo mattress), a second bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and a dedicated office. One of our favourite features of the house is the large windows overlooking the garden from the bedroom, dining room, and kitchen. A real benefit to our location is a hiking trail system accessed outside our back gate (for after dinner strolls down to the river or multi-hour excursions). We are also close to a network of mountain biking trails.

Getting to my home
Vancouver island is a place where a car is necessary. International flights will have a connection flight to the Comox Valley Airport through Vancouver (most likely), Calgary, or Edmonton. There are several rental car options at the airport. If there is a car exchange involved, taxis are available at the airport. For those driving, there is ferry service from Vancouver to Nanaimo. Also, for those driving from the United States, there is ferry service from Port Angeles, Washington. All ferries to Vancouver Island should be booked in advance.

We are an active, semi-retired couple with a golden doodle named Waggie Maggie. We chose a doodle because one of us is allergic to most cats and dogs. Maggie stays with friends when we travel, unless the home we are travelling to also has a hypoallergenic dog to exchange. We generally need a car when travelling and are open to discussing including cars in the exchange. We love the atmosphere of a small town, but also enjoy the music, history, and arts a larger city might have. In our last home we provided vacation rental space to travellers and miss the social interaction it gave us. We are hoping Peoplelikeus is more than a means to travel, but also a place of community. We are non-smokers. Lastly, we will treat your home as if it was our own, with great respect.
