The Space

Welcome to Oceanview Oasis!

Escape to a serene retreat with breathtaking ocean and mountain views. Whether you’re craving relaxation or adventure, this modern and spacious suite is your ultimate home away from home.

This beautifully renovated 950+ sq. ft., 2-bedroom suite features its own entrance and an expansive 400+ sq. ft. private patio, perfect for soaking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Each of the two generously sized bedrooms boasts a queen-sized bed for restful nights.

The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space invites you to unwind and connect. Sink into the plush sectional couch (which converts into a double-sized bed—perfect for an extra guest or two kids) and enjoy your favorite shows on the 43" TV with Netflix. Cook up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with all the essentials to make dining in a breeze.

Additional comforts include a full bathroom with tub, high-speed Wi-Fi, and an in-suite washer & dryer to keep things simple during your stay.

Parking is conveniently located right in front of the house. Accessing the suite is easy via a paved path, a set of concrete stairs, and a secure keypad entry.

Notes

This private, self-contained suite also operates as a highly rated short-term rental in the summer and is located beneath our family home. Fraser and I live upstairs with our ten-year-old daughter and two sweet senior schnoodles, who you may occasionally spot roaming the front yard.

Open to reciprocal exchanges and guest point stays. For guest point exchanges, $125 fee to cover professional cleaning.

Experiencing new places has fuelled our passion for providing the very best hospitality. Fraser and I are always happy to help with trip planning, answer any questions & share family-friendly adventures, local recommendations, and hidden gems. We adore Vancouver Island and are excited to share some island magic with fellow Home Exchangers from around the globe! :)

May

Hi! We’re a friendly, adventure-loving family of three who delight in discovering the world together from hidden local gems to fascinating destinations abroad. Epic forest hikes, art-filled streets, and savouring good food with great company are our happy place.

May is Chinese-Filipino-Canadian and works in youth coaching and education. Fraser is in IT and enjoys cooking and origami. We’ve been married for over 20 years. We also have a kind, creative 11-year-old daughter and two sweet senior schnoodles (dogs). 

We’re respectful, conscientious guests and always leave homes clean and well cared for.

We’re grateful to call Vancouver Island home and would love to share some island magic with fellow home exchangers! :)
