Guestbook for "Seashore"
The windows fill the house with light and air and each one provides a breath-taking view. I cannot imagine a more spectacular place to take a vacation. Thank you, Donald and Jeannie, for allowing us to share this! Molly Rule, Texas, USA, May 2009.
Dear Jeannie and Donald, thank you for letting us stay in your "magic tree house on the ground". You had the fluffiest towels (by far!), the warmest water in which to swim and the best equipped kitchen of all! We have loved being in this beautiful place - such views, such inviting weather, such friendly people! We feel Fanny Bay is a perfect base on Vancouver Island. Your home is lovely; you've shown great originality - designing something so perfect for a family on holiday, complete with inviting quiet corners - and a spectacular deck. So well equipped, too; eveyrhing that we could want is here...and that's why we're so sad to be going. As well as the mountains, the sea, the sunsets.....with best wishes, Jeannette, Nigel, Aidan, Brendan, Catilin, Clifford, Banbury, England. August 2009.
Thank you for providing us with a well equipped holiday home. We have enjoyed the 360 degree views especially when visited by a pair of Bald Eagles and a tiny Hummingbird. Our visit included views of tranquility along with spectacular stormy weather! Fanny Bay has been an excellent location to explore the East side of Vancouver Island. The Evans Family, Surrey, Engand, August 2009.
