The hosts were amazing!! We broke down on our way and they offered to come pick us up. They greet you when you arrive and say goodbye when you leave. This was a very nice change from other places. The house is absolutely stunning, cozy, very clean and the views are outstanding!! Waking up in the morning to the sounds of Eagles and seals was dreamy . Our dog especially loved the water. The cabin has everything that you need and then anything that you may have forgotten! The views are outstanding! We will be back!! We highly recommend checking this place out !!
If you love the sound of waves, the gentle roaring of sea lions, amazing hikes within easy driving distance and a wonderful couple of hosts,then this beautifully laid out cottage by the sea is for you!! I know we are looking forward to making this an annual holiday for us..it was wonderful.
Absolutely stunning location, cottage very well-outfitted, easy driving distance to Powell River and great walking and hiking. Lots of cormorants, mergansers, bald eagles, loons and grebes, not to mention harbor seals and barking sea lions. Hosts were awesome. We hope to come back!
The best, host set the fire each night, carried our luggage, answered any questions we had. It was very clean and the setting was the best. We were entrained by sea lions, seals, otters and loons
Incredible ocean side location in a quaint lovely cottage. Incredible views and lovely wood burning fireplace to keep the place cozy. Pro tip, give the hosts your arrival eta so they can warm the place up for arrival. Place had everything you need and a good base to explore Powell River.
This place was amazing. It was better than we had hoped it would be. Relaxing, Quiet, and beautiful .
Christine and Jock were top notch and full of good information when asked.
It was perfect for a couples get away and even had room for the kids
Our only regret is not booking it for a longer stay.
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin. The views were stunning and the cabin was so beautifully decorated and made for such a relaxing experience. The hosts were fantastic and very helpful. The area is very private and beautiful with a peaceful setting. Absolutely loved our stay here.
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very well equipped, tastefully decorated and provided a breathtaking view! Our hosts were absolutely great and a pleasure to deal with. If you are looking for a cozy, private retreat with all the comforts of home and scenery that can't be matched I highly recommend staying here.
Great relaxing stay, a little piece of heaven right on the ocean , loved that it was dog friendly . Would recommend this for a family or just an adult's get-a-way. Great location off the main Hwy close to the Sunshine Coast trail . John and Christine were excellent hosts ! See you next year !
Everything about our stay was excellent: swimming in the ocean, relaxing at the cottage, watching the seals and sunsets. It is a magical place. The hosts were lovely and very helpful. We've already booked our next stay.
We stayed here for 5 nights over the new year.
Saw humpbacks, sea lions, seals and otters from the deck.
A beautiful location about 20 minutes from Powell River.
Plenty of hiking trails nearby.
Christine & Jock were wonderful hosts - we really appreciated the easy check-in and we were on our own quickly. The cottage is so cute, clean, well-equipped and private. The view is amazing from the cottage, deck or lower guest area. We were looking for a quiet stay to unwind and that is just what we got!
Property was beautiful . Clean and tastfully decorated. Had everything we needed . Water was right at our deck . We were lulled to sleep by the waves. We will most
certainly be back again. .Hosts were lovely. Thankyou B&B
Windows in every direction, sunset and stormy weather views, luxurious details, magnificent cedar trees over a sweet garden, sea birds visiting in the morning, a northwest paradise.
This cabin is absolutely amazing. The cabin is fairly new, very clean and decorated beautifully. It is equipped with everything you need, just bring your food/condiments and sit back and enjoy. The deck wraps around 2 sides of the cabin with a separate deck off the bedroom. Even the double French doors off the living/dining area and the bedroom are screened. The owners thought of everything when they built this cabin. It sits above the beach (small and large rocks) with the tide rolling in under the deck at times, so beautiful. Everywhere you stand in the cabin you can look out at the ocean. It is very private so you donât see anything but trees and the ocean. There are a couple rock islands way out and we could hear the sea lions, nice. There are so many seals swimming past us each day of our stay. There are a few stairs and a path to get down to the cabin but once you are there is is so private. There are well constructed rock stairs going down to the grass / picnic area and a few more to get to the water. Our hosts were so friendly and very accommodating. Such a lovely couple. They are there to help you with anything anytime or leave you completely on your own, your choice. We and our 2 little dogs thank them both so much for sharing their lovely cabin with us.
We've stayed in VRBO properties since 2007, and this seaside home was the best ever! Screened windows so that we could open up and enjoy the breeze all day. Heated bathroom floors convinced us to add that feature to our own house. Other upscale features which we didn't even need to use. And a chorus of sea lions on a nearby island helped us truly relax during our entire stay. We hope to be back regularly!
My daughter and I (and her pooch) spent a fabulous long weekend at Jock and Christineâs beach house. The house itself is very comfortable, every detail for the guestâs comfort and convenience has been thought through. The property and views are second to none, so whether you curl up by the fire or go exploring you wonât be disappointed. Jock and Christine were there to greet us and had the cabin warmed up and cozy for us, and were very responsive throughout. Canât wait to go back!
Wonderful! Charming hosts, attention to detail appreciated. Well set up kitchen, comfortable beds, bath tub with a view. Amazing deck right out over the ocean. So amazing!!
We thoroughly enjoyed or four night stay. The cottage was wonderfully equipped for our dining and entertainment needs. The sound of the sea lapping up on shore, with the wonderful sea breezes made for great sleeping. We enjoyed swimming right out our front door, relaxing on the porch and small grassy area plus a campfire in the evening overlooking the sea.
Christine and Jock were perfect hosts.
We purchased the above property with an old cabin on the beach as a getaway from the pressures of city life in Vancouver. This quiet rural area known as 'Stillwater' twenty kilometers, south of Powell River became our family's place of tranquility and restoration. When we both retired in 2001 we moved from Vancouver to commence building our retirement home. A few years later we decided to renovate the 'old cabin' and recently completed our eco-friendly 'Beach House' which we now offer for your enjoyment.
We appreciate the opportunity to conserve energy whilst not compromising our appreciation of comfort and beauty. To live off the grid most of the time thus assisting in our overall hope to minimize our ecological footprints.
