Killer Whale Character Home

ShelleyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This BnB was a wonderful escape and peaceful place to stay while visiting our kids and Grandkids in Alert Bay. We loved the location, view, decor, and how comfortable the furniture was. We had a fabulous time and felt right at home. My husband and I said to each other several times during our 4 day stay, “I love this house!” The attention to detail and passion for the decor was a lovely surprise. It felt like an honour to be able to stay in this space. And, we saw Orcas and an impressive regatta go right by in front of the house! ❤️

The Oceanside Retreat

LauraRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Lovely place to stay for a peaceful few days away. We were lucky to see the eagles so spent a lot of time on the veranda using the binoculars that are provided to spot them. Walking distance to a lovely little pub 'Gus pub' and the brew house is good too. Heather was fantastic to communicate and the home is gorgeous and clean and spacious. I would only say if you are a light sleeper to use the back twin room as you could hear a bit of noise from the neighbours upstairs in the front double room. But this place is fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Vintage Airstream with Ocean Mountain Views

JodyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautifully renovated airstream. The kitchen was great as we visited in the shoulder season when there were less restaurant options. Everything was clean and communication was great. The space felt very private with a forest and ocean view. It was nice to sit outside and watch the eagles and ravens after a day of exploring.

The WhaleHouse~Upscale, 4000 Sq Ft home/3.8 acres

KaseyRating, 5 stars9 months ago

BEST. TRIP. EVER! The Whale House is a gem! This little slice of heaven has gorgeous views from every room. The house is secluded and serene but is a quick drive to town and surrounding activities. The house has every amenity, and as a bonus, there is a crab pot and instructions on how to crab! It was enjoyable. The northern end of Vancouver Island has many things to do- fishing, whale watching, Grizzly bear viewing, kayaking and so much more. You can also relax easily in this place. Sitting on the deck, reading my book while watching the resident bald eagles go about their day was one of my favorite memories of our time there. Nancy is the best hostess. She had many recommendations and was full of good ideas to cater to the needs of our group. We will go back to the Whale House again. We were already planning our next visit as we pulled out of the driveway. :)

Dunroven Air BnB- Quiet, remote & elegant cottage

PeterRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This is a 5* Air B&B because there are so few reviews vs the number of comments in the visitor book the average has been artificially brought down. There are some old lower scoring reviews from 10+ years ago, place has been remodelled since then. One guest complained of spiders webs (this is deep in the country)! So so peaceful with wildlife such as deer and we got to see a hump back from the beach. The cottage is sympathetically decorated in keeping with its age and style. It is not a super modern Four Seasons - and all the better for it. Our host Lauren could not have been more helpful. Our ferry was delayed because of technical issues and Lauren not only kept us informed, she was extremely flexible about checking in. The freshly baked cookies on arrival were a very lovely touch. She was there if we needed anything but in no way intrusive - perfect host. If you seek peach and quiet in the middle of nature this is definitely the place for you - we loved it.

A calm oceanfront scene at dusk captures the moon reflecting on the water, creating a shimmering path toward the shore. Distant mountains frame the serene landscape, while silhouettes of trees add depth to the composition.
