Booking my vacation home in Campbell River or on Quadra Island


Q. How much do you really know about these homes and about Campbell River?
A. We live in the community that we represent. The owners are our island neighbours, and we work together to accurately portray the vacation homes. We are members of the Discovery Islands Chamber of Commerce, and are registered travel agents within British Columbia.

Q. What currency is the pricing shown in?
A. Pricing is shown in Canadian currency. To convert to other currencies, use the currency conversion icon located on each vacation home page, just below the rate chart.

Q. How do I pay for my Vacation Home?
A. Credit card is the simplest way to pay.

Q. What's the cancellation policy?
A. We understand that the best-laid plans sometimes need to change. If you must cancel and we are able to re-rent your Campbell River vacation rental home for the dates you had booked, we refund all monies paid other than a 10% administrative fee (min $125.)

Q. Can I rent a vacation home for a longer stay?
A. Definitely! Some guests prefer to settle into one community for a longer stay rather than moving around. Maybe you are considering a move to the West Coast of BC or maybe you are able to work away from your home base. Whatever the reason, staying in a well equipped home in a beautiful location is a great way to go! You might want to come in mid or low season, when discounts are often available for a long stay.
