I have taken a job out of town and will be leaving about 22 July I will return early December. Pet care not required. The house is 2500 sq. ft. The front and back yards do require lawn mowing. We have a couple of very small flower beds that will need weeding from time to time. Our home is 12 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to the ferry to Vancouver. We are about 15 minutes outside of Nanaimo and approx. 50 minutes to Victoria. We are very, very close to the ocean. There is kayaking, hiking trails, golf courses and many wineries in our geographic area. We also have numerous outdoor markets locally.
