Lovely place, close to everything!

The rental was cute! It had everything you needed to stay for a decent vacation. I mostly was in and out of the city, but the car ride to the train station and beyond was very quick and easy! Brian and Carol were lovely and made sure to check-in and make sure you had everything you needed!

Best Place Between Forest & Sea

This is our second time staying at this charming carriage house in Belcarra next to Indian Arm. Very close to many nature trails and convenience of shops and eateries. Very quiet neighborhood but not too isolated. Will definitely stay here again soon!

Lovely wooded getaway

After the bustle of Vancouver, this was a nice relaxing week in the wilderness, but close enough to town that we could get groceries, go out to dinner, and even get transportation all the way to Whistler. Attentive property owner and a good accommodation, with a full-size kitchen, full bath and laundry machines, which saved us some packing. Right on the water and very close to several good hikes. Lots of fun!

Charming retreat for nature lovers

I needed a place to stay for a week while in the area for work and this carriage house in Belcarra was perfect. It was exceptionally quiet and allowing for a peaceful retreat after work. Brain and Carol were welcoming and ensured the place was clean and well-equipped. Brian offered many suggestions for trail runs and hikes which I took advantage of. I look forward to returning.

Perfect

We spent 3 weeks on honeymoon in this idyllic location, with a short break to Whistler. The location is great for getting the Canadian outdoor experience, as well as the city life, as the transport network is so good to Port Moody and the bus service to Belcarra outside the door is great. There is so much to see and do but not enough time, so will definitely be back. Brian and Carol are the perfect hosts, with nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Magical!

We loved our stay. The Carriage House is simply perfect - so comfortable with all the amenities you'll need. If you love nature, you can't beat the network of breathtaking trails in Belcarra Park which is literally across the street. A public bus runs every half hour so you can hit Port Moody's brewery row, enjoy some delicious beers and food truck ware, and return to this remote location with ease. A simply stunning location, and Brian and Carol were very attentive and generous hosts too. 10 out of 10!

Home away from home

Beautiful location. Superb Unit. Owners thought of every detail a traveler might need in a home away from home and were very communicative, helpful, and willing to provide any information someone new to the area would need. If your intention is to make most or all of your meals while traveling be sure to stop at the grocery before you arrive. It is about 10 minutes away in Port Moody (easy to get to) but having your food ready to go allows you to stay more local and avoid cars if Quiet rural atmosphere is what you were looking for. Not many restaurants close. But good brewery scene and a great authentic mexican one on Clarke St. We were not here long enough to really check out all that you can see and do here We loved the complete silence at night with the windows open and the water is so close. Definitely a place to come back to.

The most perfect place to relax!

What an amazing rental! The thoughtful design of this carriage house high in the trees above the Indian Arm in the Village of Belcarra is a joy to experience. The 1 bedroom has a full bath, washer-dryer, well appointed kitchen, a warmly welcoming dining table, comfy sofa, tv, beautiful drop top writing desk, fireplace with reading chairs, and a cute balcony with chairs and small table for morning coffee or tea! We read, slept in, explored the area parks and trails, and drove into Port Moody where the Skytrain took us into downtown Vancouver and the waterfront! More importantly, the hosts are incredibly welcoming and ready to share their love and knowledge of the amazingly unique area in which they make their home!

Lap of luxury!

The space far exceeded our expectations for overall luxuriousness. It is decorated and appointed with great skill and care. The location, though off the beaten path, is extraordinarily lovely. Port Moody, which is about 20 min drive, has lots of restaurants to choose from. The city of Vancouver is just a train ride away. Deep Cove, an adorable little spot for coffee or pizza, etc. is just across the water by canoe. Brian was a gracious and helpful host. He provided us with lots of advice about where to eat and how to get to the city and what to do in Belcarra. It was a highlight of our time in Canada!

A Lovely Retreat between the Forest and the Sea

Belcarra is frequently described as a village between the forest and the sea, and this description is well-deserved. Our stay at Brian and Carol's Belcarra rental unit provided a wonderful retreat for us. We stayed from May 7 to May 12, 2023. For our first day at this unit, we arrived late since we drove from the Seattle International Airport to Belcarra. Although late, Brian greeted us and graciously acquainted us with the unit and its amenities to ensure that we were sufficiently acclimated. When selecting this unit, we understood that we were adding driving time to/from our Vancouver excursions; yet, after a busy day of visiting Vancouver or partaking in a whale cruise or a day trip to Victoria, we looked forward to ending the day at this beautiful Belcarra unit. It was peaceful, relaxing and energized us for our next daily adventure. Brian and Carol were thoughtful when determining how to furnish this unit. It is not only comfortable, it is also appealing. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality appliances. And the views from many windows are breathtaking views of the forest. For us, a bonus was the drive to/from our daily excursions because of the beautiful scenes of ocean, mountains and forest. We have stayed in several rental units from Hawaii to France, and in our opinion, this is one of the best. Thank you, Brian and Carol, for your warm welcome and your lovely rental unit. It was easy to call it home during our stay.

Belcarra Gem

Property is in a small village of well kept homes on a beautiful lake. The owners have supplied the unit with everything that you need for a very relaxing, comfortable experience. Grocery stores, coffee shops, and local transportation are all a short trip away. There are hiking trails galore and so many areas to explore. My wife and I spent a week here and the hosts were great. We would highly recommend this property for couples wanting to get away for a weekend getaway or longer as we did. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we are ever in the country again.

You should stay here!

It was an excellent stay is a scenic neighbourhood. The hosts were welcoming and were ready for us well before the normal check-in time. We enjoyed hiking around the house, with easy enough access to local beaches. We visited Port Moody for shopping and a few meals, but it was a painless drive into Vancouver and even to the ferry terminal. Overall we felt lucky to have found this house and to have met Brian and Carol.
