Perfect choice
This suite is modern, incredibly clean, and well maintained. The kitchen is new and well equipped and the bathroom also new with great storage. The bed is queen sized, and the duvet and sheets wonderful.
I was most impressed by the lovely welcome package, that made our first few mornings a delight.
The only negative would be the lack of a view, but this was perfect for the season and our length of stay. The unit was still very bright.

The area around Duncan is beautiful with more opportunities to enjoy , discover and participate than we expected. We will be back.
The property was as advertised. Great location in town. Nice quiet neighborhood. I was there 26 days and I enjoyed it very much.
The Hosts were very nice, friendly and easy to deal with. I would recommend the place to anyone.
The suite has everything one could want. Laundry, full kitchen, even a welcome basket.
It is newly built, well furnished and extremely clean, perfect for my 3-day stay.
The hosts are lovely too!

Fabulous Stay!
This is my second stay at this vrbo and I really love the place. It has everything I need to make it feel like a home away from home when I have to travel for work. The place is bright and warm and feels safe. Hoping to stay here again when I am back in Duncan.
Everything we needed, clean, well kept and great location. Hosts left a great box of local snacks and lots of pamphlets detailing things to do in the area.

Great home away from home
Louise and Paul met us a we arrived and were very friendly and helpful. The suite is fantastic and really well equipped, everything we needed and more. There was a nice welcome basket sitting on the kitchen table when we arrived. We had great sleeps there as the bed was extremely comfortable. It's a great place to stay, really close to everything in Duncan and close to major roads to take you to the beautiful places to see on the Island. We would recommend this suite as a great place to stay!

A fabulous suite!
The hosts of this VRBO thought of everything! It’s the little things that make a big impression. For example, a lovely welcome basket was full of goodies, and there was a new quart of milk in the fridge! The neighbourhood was quiet and tidy. Our stay was very comfortable. Already planning to return!

Vancouver Island getaway
Louise and Paul provided a very easy process to book, checkin and checkout. It was nice central location in Duncan to travel between Parksville, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, and Victoria. Our hosts had a nice snack basket waiting for us upon arrival.
