#slowtravel Canada~JOMO~Wood-fired Hot tub, Beach

CarlyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
we loved our stay at Joule’s. The place was spacious and comfortable, we relaxed and were able to feel fairly at home. It rained the majority of our stay, and so the hot tub was especially enjoyed with being a perfect way to be outside during a drizzle. The kitchen was equipped for cooking meals, the beds were comfy, and Sechelt was a pleasure! We enjoyed a few trails nearby. Would recommend staying at Joule’s place for a Sunshine Coast getaway!
A spacious hot tub with soft purple lighting is situated on a covered deck, surrounded by a wooden fence. Adjacent to the hot tub, a gas barbecue is visible, and a large yard with seating and greenery extends in the background.

Impeccable Summer Retreat!

Allison & BrockRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Wonderful cottage just on the edge of Rathtrevor. We had friends camping in the park and we didn’t want to camp with a toddler so this was the perfect solution. Pet friendly, private, quiet. Cottage had everything you’d need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Had high chair, pack and play, baby gate. Would stay again!

Gibsons Beach House

MelissaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Beautiful location that felt close to nature yet also walkable to amenities. The view at the table while you eat breakfast is very peaceful. There was an occupant of the lower unit with two young children running around, so be mindful that there will be some shared noises. The hot tub, view, ample space and location made this an peaceful retreat for my family without having to isolate them; you can walk a few minutes and still get a great cup of coffee.

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Alison’s place is old but spacious and well situated with a very nice view and a quiet neighborhood. The amount of utensils, pans, cutlery, plates, glasses etc. were far better than most Airbnb’s, plenty of everything. The washer and dryer were much appreciated. There is a TV but you need your own input device. That said I’d certainly stay there again.

Comfortable cottage 1 bedroom + sofa bed in Bowser

BarbaraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The cottage had all the amenities that I would need during my stay. It was beautifully appointed and very clean. George even installed a grab bar by the toilet for me the next day that I was there. Loved the added treats of smoked salmon and cookies. Would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much George and Marion.

Cottage 3: secluded Cottage Overlooking Silva Bay

MeganRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Pages, the location was beautiful. We enjoyed renting kayaks and exploring the bay. The nearby park also had some great hiking trails and beach. The cabin had everything you needed and the wood burning stove was nice to have on the chilly nights. It is about 15 minutes to the amenities in town and the ferry so not the closest if that’s important to you but we thought their little store had most necessities and didn’t mind.

The Mellow Yellow Cottage

JeffRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Beautiful yard that looks exactly like the pictures. Felt at home and was left alone to enjoy it. There was a hose to wash bikes. Kids bedroom is right beside the living room and has curtains instead of a door, which is something to be aware of if you want to stay up later than the kids. Hosts were excellent - one of my kids forgot some clothes. Hosts found them and told us about them quickly and made arrangements for us to get them back. Overall a really nice place with helpful, courteous hosts. Going back - literally the next weekend and would be happy to stay there again.

We had a lovely stay at Christina's place for a weekend getaway. It was so charming and everything was as described and pictured. The location was perfect to get to the water or to trails in under 10 minutes by car. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome chocolates and the cream and sparkling water available for us in the fridge. We hope to come back in the summer!

Cozy Cottage

Jay & DRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were looking for a quiet, cozy place to stay. Rachel’s place exceeded our expectations. After some unexpected travel delays coming the East Coast, we inquired about an additional night. Rachel was super helpful with extending our stay. We really appreciated her help with that. We would definitely stay again.

Great location. Super easy to walk into town. Back deck is good with large table, no real view of the water but a pleasant green backyard with lots of flowers and trees. Well stocked kitchen and nice linens. I do wish there was access to laundry but I would stay again.

Triangle Acre Cottage in Roberts Creek

TraversRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Very comfy home, with a super cozy living room and bedrooms. Well stocked kitchen. Really beautiful backyard. The weather was cold and rainy during our stay, so this place was perfect to get comfy and enjoy a classic west coast winter. Keeping the wood fireplace going was a real treat, and something we looked for specifically in a place to stay. The property is just next to the highway, so I was worried about road noise, but with the windows closed I couldn’t hear it at all.
