Well, we're back from our scouting trip, and we have indeed been successful in securing a place to live for the next year.
Our trip across the island was quite beautiful, all in lovely sunshine, and with a minimum of RVs on the road. We got into Ucluelet about 11AM and then did a drive-by of the places on our list that we had from our own research and those of our local real estate agent, Carmen. Some of the places we were able to cross off right away as they either failed to meet our needs, or were in locations that didn't work with what we have planned.
Later in the day, when we finally met up with Carmen, she led us to a beautiful chalet-styled home in a secluded, wooded lot. The house is amazing, with high, vaulted ceilings and wood everywhere. It's actually a three-bedroom, whereas we were originally looking for just a two-bedroom, but we will set up the second room as a movie room.
While we were there, awaiting to see is our lease offer would be accepted, we got out and tramped the Wild Pacific Trail (which will be just a few minutes walk from our new location), as well as exploring some more beaches. Here's some pictures:
On our last night there, we heard back that the landlord had accepted our offer and that we could meet Carmen in the morning to sign the lease and associated other documents.
Papers signed, we headed back to Langley to continue the downsizing, chucking and packing of our household to get ready for the big moving day in October.
More to come...
