You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Vine-Covered Garden Suite | Queen + Patio

Welcome to Gillian's Room, one of Chosen's original guest suites and a cozy coastal stay designed for simplicity, comfort, and convenience. Enter from the parking lot side, where beautiful climbing vines surround the home and create a peaceful, garden-like setting as you arrive. Inside, you'll find a comfortable queen bed, a private full bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee station, plates, cups, and essentials for light meals and morning coffee.

Step outside to enjoy the shared outdoor patio—an inviting space to sip your morning coffee or unwind after a day at the beach. Every stay includes a curated Chosen Welcome Gift featuring wellness items, complimentary water, and locally inspired coffee to help you settle in.

Disclosures – Please Read

Refunds will not be issued for failure to review the following disclosures prior to booking:

* Gillian's Room shares one wall with an adjacent guest suite, and the property is located near the roadway. You may occasionally hear neighboring guests or light street noise.
* This is a private guest suite rather than a full home and is best suited for travelers looking for a comfortable place to relax and explore Summerland.
* The home is surrounded by mature vines and lush landscaping that give the property its unique charm. Because of the natural setting, you may occasionally encounter spiders, insects, or other small critters. If you notice anything during your stay, simply let us know and our team will gladly take care of it as quickly as possible.
* Community trash bins are located outside the property to the right, down Olive Street on the right-hand side.

The Chosen Guest Experience & Exclusive Perks

The Chosen Beach Collection is a handpicked group of our more seasoned coastal homes — a little older, a little more lived-in, and full of character. What they may lack in modern polish, they more than make up for in location and soul: these are our closest homes to the sand, built for salty hair, sandy feet, and slow mornings by the water. Expect a relaxed, well-loved beach-house feel rather than a pristine, high-end finish — a few honest signs of age and wear are simply part of the charm. If you're after an easygoing coastal escape with genuine character (at a friendlier price point), you've found your collection.

What to expect: These are older, well-loved homes with plenty of character and some natural wear that comes with age and time by the coast. They're comfortable, clean, and cared for — just don't expect the polished, high-end finish of our luxury and wellness homes. Come for the location, the laid-back beach-house feel, and the value.

Still every bit a Chosen stay: Booking a Beach Collection home doesn't mean missing out. Guests still enjoy the full wellness benefits available across our entire portfolio, plus a small welcome gift on arrival, thoughtfully chosen and unique to each home.

Gillian's Cottage is great for a short stay. The host was great to communicate with and answered all questions or concerns. The place was clean and cozy. Unknown to the host at the time, the coffee pot did not work, so missed early habit of coffee first thing in the morning. Other than that, all was great!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall: Not a good experience. Poor Quality.Doorframes were crooked which led to drafts in the room. Didn't advertise poor construction of room either. For over 200 a night, I felt my value could have been better spent at a motel 6. Towels had stains and the bed was semi dirty. Lots of pill bugs wandering the bathroom.

Quiet little getaway

Cozy on the slightly cramped side. Ok for a quiet getaway not too far from the ocean. Check tide charts if you plan on enjoying the beach. Great host with excellent communication.

Nice Retreat!

We enjoyed our time in Gillian's Room. The location was very good for us and we liked walking around the quaint village of Summerland. Aidan was super helpful and with timely communication.

Summerland Getaway

This cute cottage holds true to the description & gave us everything we were looking for! Location can’t be beat; walking distance to shops, park & beach. Cleanliness & details matter in a stay away from home and nothing was overlooked. Thank you Aiden for keeping us informed! We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Quiet neighborhood up on a hill but in need of alittle TLC.

Tiny place. Kitchen and bath barely enough room to turn around in. I had difficulties with a couple of temporary problems: No chair to sit on - anywhere (landlord says it was out for repairs - but still... a temporary arrangement would have helped since nowhere to sit while putting on my shoes). Large heavy packages had been delivered... blocked the single small parking place..,too heavy for me to move much. Challenging to park. Told landlord, but nothing was done. Kitchen has no water supply. No directions for operating coffee maker and everthing in kitchen set up for very tall person (which I am not). Suggest landlord be at least a little attentive to guest needs.
