Nice location and view. Unit looks recently renovated. Furnishings included everything needed. Clean except for some dead flies by the window in kitchen and on floor under windows in master bedroom. Couple minor appliance issues need attention. "hot surface" light on stove stays on all the time. Dishwasher not working. Owners aware and waiting for island repairman to assist. vaccum system by sink kept switching on. We finally unplugged it and that solved the problem. Refrigerator nice and clean. Washer and dryer worked fine. Nice bathrooms. Netflicks and internet worked fine. might be wise to relocate extension cords running under rugs in living room to avoid any fire hazard. Great deck with water view and lots of seating. Had some issues making final payment but that was a VRBO issue not owner issue.

We enjoyed our stay at Cristas rental property. We did feel the listing was misleading in saying you have the space to yourself. The family has their trailer right outside the front door. There are a number of trailers and other equipment on the property. It didn’t feel like a quite secluded cabin in nature but like you were in someone’s home who was there. There was a fair amount of noise from kids playing around house and generator running. The home itself was exactly as picture - big open space, partial ocean view, suite has everything you need.

This property does not feel like a rental property; it is a lovely, clean, comfortable home that has everything you need for a short or long term stay with the added bonus of in suite laundry. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be pleasantly surprised when they open the door to find that the property surpasses expectation. Having such great accommodations will only add to the wonderful memories of the time spent on Galiano for my daughter's wedding. Thanks for sharing your home Christa :)

Thank you Christa for hosting us in such a beautiful and peaceful place. The space is on the upper level of the house and was so comfortable to be in for our family, and appreciate that we could bring our doggies there as well. Beach access close by is a bonus. Christa responded quickly to questions we had and made us feel at home. We look forward to coming there again.

Wonderful hosts! Place was beautiful, comfortable and quiet! A perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of the Lower mainland. Thanks so much! Enjoy the rest of the summer.

This is our 4th time staying at Christa's place. We love the lodging, views, location, quiet etc. everything is as good as last time. Def recommend it everyone. Christa is very patient, helpful and lovely to be with.

Second time visiting Galiano and staying here is a major part of our return because we knew how much relaxing it is. Tastefully and practically furnished, quiet, near to the water and Christa is so welcoming - we hope to make it an annual trip which speaks for itself.

Stayed here for family wedding. Check in was good as host allowed us to check in early, although there were no check in instructions, but the doors were open. No wifi instructions and cell coverage bad but host gave wifi password via text msg. Kitchen dishes well stocked, but hand soaps in kitchen and bathrooms seemed to be all filled with water. Used iron but it sprayed black on our white shirt for wedding, so ended up buying an iron at hardware store. Colored towels smelled funky. We triple checked as we always do-- cleanliness and items we may have left behind, all is good and aside from linens and towels, all was left in same condition as we arrived. As we made our travels back home, the hosts messaged and said her lamp was broken at base and can no longer stand up. We did not break ANYTHING and if we did, we certainly are not the type of people to cower away without saying anything. Host proceeded to ask for payment - either etransfer to her USA account or thru VRBO. Host required to provide picture of said broken lamp. Her picture was of a lamp, outside at bottom of staircase. TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS AND VIDEO'S; OTHERWISE YOU MAY BE OUT $125 FOR "BREAKING BASE OF LAMP"
