Guest House

Being the guest always makes me a better host.

I spent the May long weekend as an Airbnb guest for a bachelorette, and it was such a great reminder of what makes a great stay.

When I’m in an Airbnb, I naturally poke around and notice everything.

Here’s what stood out:
-genuinely comfortable beds with white cotton linens
-lots of gathering spaces (inside AND outside)
-simple amenities done well (unlimited firewood, a very well stocked kitchen, and all the supplies we needed)
-proximity to a great restaurant and cafe

The bridal party brought the details, including the banner AND the Pilates teacher, but it reinforced something we think about often at Guest House:
The most memorable stays start with getting the fundamentals right, then layering in thoughtful experiences.

For our bachelorette groups, we offer curated add-ons like private yoga, charcuterie tables, and other local experiences to make the weekend more memorable.

What’s one thing that instantly makes an Airbnb stay better for you?

The Fairfield in Crystal Beach is quickly becoming one of our favourites in our management portfolio.

Quiet, cozy, walkable to the beach and downtown, and set up for families.

An underrated feature that this home has: a main floor bedroom with no steps, adjacent to a bathroom—making it a great option for elderly guests or those with mobility concerns.

A few summer weekends still available!
