The quietness and great sea views were great for the soul. We can highly recommend their home for visitors around the world. Loved Parksville and Qualicum Beach, nearby golf courses and great wine tasting opportunities close by. And you always have to visit Butchart Gardens at any time of the year. The island has endless possibilities year round. Our thanks to Pat and Alex and we hope we mwill meet one day.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our comfortable seaview home is in the heart of Mill Bay, a few minutes walk from restaurants, shops, marina and beaches. If you are physically active, this is a great place to come. Hiking trails through forests and up small mountains abound. The ocean is a 10 min. walk away and there are lakes nearby for water sports. When you get tired of having fun, relax on one of our 3 decks or 2 patios with a glass of local wine and enjoy the ocean, flora, fauna and our Bald Eagles and Humming Birds. We are conveniently located in the Cowichan Valley wine country, 35 minutes north of Victoria or one hour south of Nanaimo. We have a gourmet kitchen, bathroom, dining/family room and living room on the main floor. The second floor has full laundry, 2 bedrooms and den with heated floor ensuites and cable TV. The 3rd bedroom is used as an office so not included in the exchange. The bottom of the house has a private walk-out 1 bedroom fully furnished suite.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
The neighbourhood is semi-rural and quiet with friendly neighbours. Our non-smoking 3 storey home is located on a .5 acre lot with a treed running creek. There are many birds including Bald Eagles and Hummiing Birds to watch and it is common to see deer walking through the area. If you are lucky you may also get to see whales in our bay. We are a few minutes from shopping and the ocean, close to golfing, great dining, parks and recreation. There are lakes nearby for boating, fishing and swimming. Taxi and bus service is in the area.
