Relaxing Oasis with Beautiful Views

ShelleyE San Diego, CA
Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at Gabriola Gables for a week in July 2009. The house is beautiful, with a well-equipped gourmet kichen. The property is very beautifully landscaped and the views from the back of the house are breath-taking. We saw a bald eagle many times during our stay. The island is very restful. We went to a concert at The Haven, explored the farmer's market and marina, and went to the local farms for fresh eggs, vegetables and meat.

What a lovely vacation we experienced!

VanMom Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family (two adults and two children) and two other families (two adults and one child; one adult and one child) spent a week at Gabriola Gables Estates. We had such a wonderful time at this home, which is beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. The kitchen is large and modern and suited our needs to a T. The ensuited bedrooms are spacious and elegant; our children were thrilled to be able to share rooms with their friends and get away from their parents! They also adored the hot tub! The view across the sound to the Sunshine Coast was spectacular. The home isn't far from wonderful hikes in the woods and is a close drive to several beaches, where we spent many hours swimming, beachcombing, and exploring. It also boasts a large, mown yard where we played a lot of baseball and soccer. Our hosts were fabulous, providing us with all the information we needed to make our trip a comfortable one. This is a vacation we all will forever remember!

A class of its own!

Charm Delta, British Columbia, Canada
Review Submitted: October 27, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Just returned from our annual Canadian Thanksgiving vacation. Our group (of a few families), has, traditionally, spent Thanksgiving in vacation homes across BC, for over a decade now. This Gabriola home stands out in a class of its own!! I would highly recommend this luxurious home to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

From the deer roaming in the front yard, to the cruise ships sailing by in the distance off the back porch, this was truly a beautiful setting. The fireplaces in every bedroom added to the warm, cozy atmosphere of the entire home, and, everyone, from the young children to the grandparents in our group, found themselves well catered to.

In every little detail, it is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into making this a vacation home to be remembered, and it was much appreciated by each and every one of us.

Thank you Anne & Rob!

One of the best ever !

Don and Lynne Calgary
Review Submitted: October 1, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The home and grounds were clean, spacious, well-quipped and homey. We felt instantly at home and relaxed as we read books and looked out over the ocean, The grounds were lovely and the beds/sheets were better than any high-end hotel we've stayed at! We cooked a lot of meals in the large wall-equipped kitchen and dined in the dining room over looking the ocean. The decorating was very much to our taste and reminded us of our home. It was such a comfortable stay that our daughter asked to spend her 15th birthday this summer at the house and we had a nice celebration for her on August 16.
This rental was one of the best places we have ever stayed.
Thanks!

Gabriola memories

Bill and Judith Cayman Islands
Review Submitted: September 29, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
What a wonderful haven of peace and tranquillity. We appreciated the natural beauty. Sea views to the distant mountains of the Canadian mainland, friendly deer grazing only a few feet from our garden chairs and, of course, the magnificent bald eagles circling overhead. We also appreciated the luxurious comfort of the house, which soon became our home from home. To all of this add the warmth and helpfulness of the owners and their family. Nothing was too much trouble. Our arrival was enhanced by a warm smile and a welcome package complete with a sample of the local delicacy, Nanaimo bars. Our stay was enhanced by the casual and friendly life style of Gabriola Island. It is therefore not surprising that we were sad to leave and hope to return some day. We whole heartedly and without reservation recommend Gabriola Gables to anyone who appreciates beauty, comfort, tranquillity and the natural world. Thank you. Judith and Bill
