This makes volunteering all the more rewarding. We echo all the great comments previous guests have recorded here and confirm that they are all right on the money.

We'd like to come back as "real" guests and will recommend your place to our friends. Thank you!"

Having a "dream place" to stay as well as the added attraction of the Home and Garden Tour only reinforces our belief that we are lucky to be able to call the Pacific North-West our home, aka "paradise"! Thanks for the gourmet breakfasts. Wish I could take the K-size bed home with me! All the best in your future endeavours!"
Lois and Sam, Qualicum Beach

"This was our first B&B experience and it was a great one - it's going to be hard to beat if we stay at another B&B in the future.

We will certainly give Spring beach House a warm recommendation."
