The property was absolutely stunning. The house was built perfectly for children and families. We were quite surprised however that we were told by the owner that we had to replace our own toilet paper, paper towel, and laundry detergent, take out all our own garbage and recycling, even though we were being charged an extremely large amount of money. The need to replace all products would seem reasonable if the cost of the rental was not so high. We were only told about this rule in the guest manual after having booked and paid for our stay. I think this would be an important note to mention in the listing so that guests can be made aware of these rules before booking. There were also a number of very aggressive signs around the house warning about potential costs if we did not follow the house rules, which took away from the magic of the visit. We still had a lovely stay but those interesting features/ requirements would stop us from booking this place again.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Lund and the home was perfect. Outstanding views for coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings. Lots of space in the home with tons of natural light from every room. We brought our boat on a trailer which we easily kept in Lund Harbour and explored Desolation Sound for ten days...it was fantastic!

This home is amazingly beautiful. It's relatively secluded on it's own little bay! The home is beautiful and well equipped with all that you might need. Access to the water is easy for adults (kids just need a hand to hold onto), and exploring the beach is wonderful. We had a group of 7 (3 couples and a single). The single had to share a room with one of the couples; otherwise there are many beds to choose from! The downstairs twin bed area would be a lot of fun for several kids! The master suite is fabulous with a soaker tub looking out to the water. The design of the house was great for active people, such as ourselves. The deck leading to the stairs/water was a great place to store kayak gear! They have thought of great details like an outdoor shower on that deck with LOTS of hooks to hang wet gear! BRILLIANT! And you enter into a mudroom with washer/dryer...which comes in handy!!! While the top deck remained our lounge and entertaining area. The hammocks were lovely and so were the deck chairs! Both of which were used after long days of hiking or paddling. The kitchen is well stocked with all we needed to cook for 7 people. Make sure you bring enough paper products to cover what you use though (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.). We spent a good portion of the evenings on the main deck watching the beautiful sunsets...it's a gorgeous view and setting. The beds are comfortable, the showers are great (bring toiletry supplies) - we never ran out of hot water with 7 of us, and there is ample room for individuals to find secluded spots in and around the house to "get away." Having use of their 3 kayaks was great! We brought up 2 of ours and had a flotilla! Getting our kayaks down to the water was a bit of a challenge, but very manageable. They also had an area with a hose to wash off gear. The house is walking distance to Lund, and close enough to Powell River that it was an easy run for groceries/wine. Some of us took the ferry over to Savary Island and met the others who kayaked over...it was an enjoyable day. Paul was extremely helpful and answered many of our questions ahead of time - and he was very prompt. He chatted with us on possible trips to take and sent us many useful websites. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home!

When our party of 6 adults walked through the front door of our Lund house for the first time, we were awestruck! It was as if the house was built in the treetops perched on the ocean shore! And it was even more amazing as we took in the workmanship of the home. The Shores beautiful home is everything a person could ask for in a vacation getaway! Whether enjoying sunsets from the spacious deck or at the picnic table tucked in the woods, kayaking in the afternoon sunshine from our own beach and discovering basking seals and sea lions on the cliff's rocky edge, cooking meals in the gracious and well-appointed kitchen, taking morning walks into Lund for lattes and yummy pastries at Nancy's Bakery, excursions to Savary Island or into Desolation Sound, or just hanging out with good company at the Shore's lovely home, our vacation was a truly delightful and memorable experience. The Shores were helpful and responsive. When we were short one adult life jacket, they immediately provided a contact for getting one. We would stay at Shores by Lund in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this property. Thank you, Shore family, for sharing your home with us.
