“We feel blessed to have spent the Easter long weekend at Emily’s idyllic waterfront suite amidst another ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown. The location was perfect for a quick getaway from Vancouver. We particularly enjoyed our daily hikes around the Sunshine Coast which included a drive up to Egmont to see the spectacular tidal flow at Skookumchuck Narrows. We rewarded ourselves from our adventures with a nightly fire by the beach. Emily is a gracious hostess and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. We look forward to hosting her and Blair in Whistler. Thanks again Emily! ”

About our home
Enjoy this romantic West Coast retreat 40 minutes from Vancouver. Morning sunrises and full moon evenings. Fish for salmon, swim from the beach, walk along the shoreline to the local village, kayak to nearby islands and other hidden beaches. Hike or mountain bike on nearby trails. Play golf on 2 local public courses or a 9 hole in Pender Harbour. Roast marshmallows on a beach bonfire or sip some wine while the sun goes down on the distant mountains. The local town offers quaint shops, cafes, coffee shops, bars, restaurants. The surrounding areas offer many galleries and local artists.
The main bedroom has a queen bed with a water view, the second bedroom has an adult bunk bed with double lower bed and single top bed. The suite offers a full kitchen but like the old days, you'll have to wash the dishes by hand. There is a TV for videos and DVD's (many videos provided). Up to two parking spots provided. 2 kayaks and one rowboat available for use with life jackets. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
We know you will leave relaxed and refreshed with lots of great memories.
Please note a C$75.00 cleaning fee will apply.

Emily's reviews
As a host (3)“Great place!”
“I had an absolutely lovely time at Emily's place. There were two of us and the cozy suite suited us very nicely. The location is fabulous......the photos of the water's proximity to the decks are accurate - absolutely amazing! Emily was a terrific host - very responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Overall, a great experience!”

All the way up the Sunshine coast there are many galaries and in October the coast hosts the Art Crawl where all the artisans open up their homes for the public.
