Fish Creek Find
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the proximity to everything in Fish Creek and the rest of the peninsula. The kitchen was well stocked and the home was comfortable, cozy, and conveniently located. The only tiny suggestion I'd make would be to have some tissues in the house! That's the only thing I can think to suggest, so that just speaks to a great place overall!
Good location. A bit musty inside. The unit did have a constantly running dehumidifier. Cute place, very comfy. Would book again.

Yellow Cottage
Great location and space. There was a Lot of spiders around the doorway and a humidifier of some sort in the living room that was loud and heated up the room. Would have otherwise been 5 star all around.

VRBO in Door
Very well equipped and appointed. Only the TV was a mystery to us. We weren’t able to watch the olympics as we had wished. Unable to get network or cable channels we were used to. I guess it got us out more.

Nice Unit and Great Location!
Unit is well maintained and you can’t beat the location. We loved being able to walk to all of our favorite activities: bike rental for PSP, pizza at Wild Tomato, downtown shops and marina, and frozen custard right across the street. Plenty of space to spread out on first floor and all is quiet after 10 pm even during peak season. Would definitely book again.

Great location!
Great location! Beautiful condo! Loved the Town of Fish Creek. Could walk to shops and restaurants and even Sunset park to watch the sunset. For a family of four, would have loved extra towels, but other than that, the condo had everything we needed.
