Description
We are a 3 generation family that needs help with yard and house maintenance from time to time. SHORT NOTICE inquiries rather then long range planning works best for us as the help required and accommodation changes too rapidly to make arrangements months ahead. We live on the ocean in a lovely small town on the Sunshine Coast of B.C., just 2.5 hours from Vancouver Int'l Airport. It is accessed by ferry or seaplane, and would be considered a remote destination. Sechelt (a bigger town) is a 30 minute drive, and the entire coast is ~150 kilometres from one end (Langdale) to the other (Earls Cove). We eat good food, health and wellness is a priority. PROJECT is located at 1.3 acre, lake view property in downtown Madeira Park. Nice accommodations in a clean, private, vintage travel trailer. Great WiFi, outdoor H/C shower, portapotty bathroom, occasional laundry, firepit with wood supply (if fires permitted). Suits single. Smoking outside only. Nice areas for walking. Close to amenities and highway exit.

Accommodation
Stay in a beautiful 14’, 1977 vintage Holidaire travel trailer that accommodates 1 person very comfortably. Inside has a comfortable twin bed, table and light duty kitchen. Food and meals can be shared or provided for self preparation, we can determine this based on dietary preference. Peekaboo view of lake from outside chair, private spot to unwind.

Another travel trailer and a cabin currently house tradesmen working in the area, one is my cohost Steve and his puppy Shiva. Jaime is here Friday to Monday each week. Laundry is available but only at restricted times onsite. Drop off service for $25 (wash/dry/fold) is available locally anytime. Nice walking areas nearby.
