- Wendy's beach home is beautiful and relaxing - the sound of the ocean's waves lapping was one of my favorite parts of our holiday. The beach home is quiet and close to many day adventures, including Miracle Beach which we were able to kayak to from her home. Relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day was also very enjoyable. We look forward to doing another exchange with the Banhams.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Large, oceanfront house on beautiful Saratoga Beach, on Vancouver Island, 20 minutes North of Comox Airport. If you're driving and taking the ferry, it's 3 hours from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. Our home is very recently renovated, with two brand new bathrooms and a new gourmet kitchen with state of the art cooking appliances. Our house has heated floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. There is a wood burning fire to burn on cooler nights, and a hot tub outside, perfect for star gazing. We also have an outdoor shower, to get rid of the sand and salt after a long day at the beach. we have kayaks, a paddleboard, inflatable boat, bicycles, badminton and bocce. It is a perfect, beautiful and serene getaway, yet it is only 20 minutes away from an airport, or if you prefer, you can go more slowly via car and ferry - also a beautiful experience. It is a 30 minute drive to the top of Mount Washington - great for walking/hiking in the Summer, or skiing/snowshoeing in the Winter.

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is quiet but friendly, with a small shopping plaza and a pub just a few minutes away by car or bike. It's a place where the living is easy. The waterfront is well used by kayakers, fishermen and beachcombers, but you could never describe it as busy. Most of the lots on the water side of the street are half an acre, providing lots of privacy. We like to call it, Heaven on Earth. We are half an hour away from Campbell River and Comox/Courtenay. Twenty minutes from the Comox Airport which makes us very accessible.

Attractions
Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our waterfront IS the main attraction! There are places nearby to go for food and drink, but our magnificent view makes hanging out on our waterfront deck our favourite activity by far. We have kayaks, a paddleboard and an inflatable boat. We have croquet, badminton and bacce balls, to name just a few fun things to do. In the evening, we like to have a beach bonfire now and then, as we watch the cruise ships go by. Ahhh, paradise!
