We thought we had rented a room, but we had rented a rustically furnished apartment. The location was a little difficult for our GPS to find, as the... laneway was changed. Once we found it, we also found peace and serenity in the spiritually comforting surroundings. The view was breath-taking and we didn't really want to leave. We are already making plans to return to the Island and the Waters Edge Resort. Sitting on the couch, in front of the fireplace, looking out the windows toward the bay, drinking my morning coffee was rejuvinating beyond words. Check-out time was 11:00; I got off that couch at 11:00 - only because we had to leave. The kitchen was nicer and better equipped than the house we were renting in Surrey. The closet off the bedroom, held 2 cozy terry bathrobes; another unexpected surprise. If they had supplied slippers, they'd have thought of everything. I don't have a digital oven here, in our condo; we had 1 in our rental suite. The simple decorations in the suite served to remind us that simple and natural are under-rated. They decorated using chunky, natural wood and the result was spectacular. We were so impressed that we took photos of the furniture in the rental suite. The Waters Edge is surrounded by nature, on the Island. While carrying in our luggage, we heard grunting noises in the nearby woods. Returning to our truck for a forgotten suitcase, parked right outside our doorway, we saw a lynx. The greenery outside our front windows was awe-inspiring and very grounding. If being surrounded by that much nature didn't inspire you to appreciate nature, nothing would. I am anxiously waiting to hear that it's time to return to The Waters Edge, almost with baited breath. by Kimberly B from Abbotsford, BC on 03/20/11
