General Overview

#18811 is a self-contained one-bedroom suite within our house. Our home is right on the water in Gibsons on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. We live in a quiet neighbourhood in a quiet town. It is a great place to relax and watch the eagles, the deer, the seals and if you’re lucky, the whales! Enjoy a private entrance to the suite, beautiful furnishings and comfy touches like robes and slippers, even beach towels for the hot tub that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Please message us to discuss availability. We live on the property (the suite is a part of our house) and lots of advance notice will improve our odds of facilitating exchanges. Non-simultaneous and Globe exchanges will usually work best, but we are happy to look at all exchange types. UPDATE: We now have a toddler living with us upstairs, above this suite. He is delightful and occasionally noisy, fair warning! if you are interested, please message and let's talk!

The Space

From the suite, you can take in the Pacific Ocean view, or pull down the blackout blinds and nap in the comfy king bed. A well-stocked, full-sized kitchen invites you to summon your inner chef. Here's a short video showing the interior: https://www.facebook.com/groups/peoplelikeus.world/posts/3237933989838871/?comment_id=3238248686474068&notif_id=1692423438030802&notif_t=group_comment Outside, enjoy the rock garden and seating area with lots of comfortable seating, a gas fire pit and string lights overhead to light up the evenings. From the rock garden, step up to the patio where you can take in expansive views of the ocean and of course step into the hot tub, looking out over the water. If you visit on a clear night, you just might be treated to one of our spectacular moon rises, as the moon climbs slowly from behind Keats Island to shimmer on the water of the Pacific. It’s really something.

Guest Access

The suite is on the lower level of our house, and there are two steps down to the suite entrance. The suite itself is all on one level.

Notes

Entrance to the suite is by electronic keypad. We will arrange a unique four-digit code for your stay.

Neighbourhood

Our house is very close to the historic village of Gibsons. You can walk to town (a beautiful stroll) in about 15 minutes, and driving will get you there in about two! Gibsons is a town of about 5,000 people with great restaurants, craft breweries and cideries, artists' studios and an amazing marina and waterfront.

Getting to my home

Most people visit us via Vancouver. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND FERRY RESERVATIONS. The Sunshine Coast is a beautiful 40-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. The ferry lands in Langdale, which is a ten minute drive from the town of Gibsons and Quiet Cove. The Sunshine Coast Tourism website has lots of helpful information here: https://www.sunshinecoastcanada.com/plan-your-trip/getting-here/

Nearest airport

The closest major airport is YVR in Vancouver. From YVR (and always depending on traffic, of course), you are about an hour from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. From Horseshoe Bay, it is a 40-minute ferry ride and then a ten-minute drive to our house.

Getting Around

We recommend having a car so you're able to enjoy all the Sunshine Coast has to offer. That said, there is a public bus that will bring you conveniently from the ferry terminal to a bus stop very near our house. From the property you can easily walk to the village for supplies, but options are limited within the "Lower Gibsons" village. The two major grocery stores in town (plus the butcher shop, a health food store, the BC Liquor Store and more) are in "Upper Gibsons", about a five-minute drive away.
