It is a short distance to paradise, enjoy this waterfront with a dock

See the changes. This property has undergone beautiful renovations to enhance your stay . Photos will soon be added

As one turns off the beautiful Sunshine Coast Highway, they would transcend into a forest of towering trees onto a country road. Curves reveal glimpses of remote lakes and stunning bays in one of BC 's coasts favourite summertime destination. Watch out for deer and other fauna grazing along the roadside because they're their everyday.

It's a short distance to paradise. And when you pull into the driveway of this VRBO private residence you will immediately understand that location is everything. The 3/4 acre of flowering gardens, surrounded by a woodland forest, overlooks a quite bay with a private dock where you can tie up your own boat. The dock can accommodate up to a 45 foot yacht.

The home offers a fun beach house decor that immediately makes you escape reality and slip into a wonderful dreamland vacation. Two bedrooms of queen size beds offer comfortable, soothing, peaceful sleeps.

The large gourmet kitchen offers granite counters and stainless appliances along with a large assortment of cooking equipment and dishes. Both the living room and dining room offer breath taking panoramic views of the coves and mountains. From the decks watch the bald eagles soar over-head. Loons call from the dock, or see the seals and salt water birds at play. Drop a crab trap and catch your dinner. There is something new to see every minute of the day.

Sunsets turn the sea and mountains into a warm pink radiances just before it settles under the glow of the moon. . Night skies can reveal sparkling stars, shooting stars and if you are lucky, a shower of meteors.

Days can be filled by hiking park trails, picnicking at one of the many lakes, renting a kayaks, canoe, or a motorboat. Charter a fish boat with a local guide. Take the Slocat tour boat to explore the nooks and crannies of this large play ground.

Three nearby golf courses can challenge the ambitious when not taking in one of the frequent fun festivals. Craft fairs, farmers markets or the art tours are not to be missed. Dining is excellent offering everything from renown restaurants to sandwich shops and burger bars. It's all yours at BC's best kept secret.

All services available such as Internet & TV at no additional cost. Maid service and laundry can be provided at a fee.

One will not want to leave this VRBO home which offers every thing a vacationer wants, as well as a calmness seldom found.

Best views on the coast! This was a stunning place to spend time in the Sunshine Coast. Nestled into a quiet part of Pender Harbour it was the perfect launch spot for evening kayaks, as well as day trips to Egmont (rapids) and Sechelt (ice cream). The local store is 5 minutes away with everything you need. We had daily visitors - deer, geese, seals. And out host, Em, was just delightful.

Simply stunning location
We were so lucky with the weather that we went for a swim most mornings. Cannot think of anything that we found wanting really. Struggled a bit with the washing machine and dryer but everything else more than made up for it. We had a four wheel drive vehicle which is worth using if you have it because the drive is gravel and very steep. We loved it !

Great Place
The only problem was that the second bedroom’s bed needs a minor repair to the cross beam. Spotless when we arrived and we all loved it.

A slice of heaven
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The unit was clean and the property was breathtaking. Excellent communication with the caretaker who was so helpful and friendly. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer. You will not want to leave!

fantastic
We've been there 3 times and will keep going back. Its a lovely spot on the water and the kids always have a blast. The 2 kayaks on the dock are much appreciated a great way to see the harbour.

Waterfront fun
Our second stay at this property and we loved it yet again. A great location and nice rental with lots of amenities. The dock was used for our dinghy to explore the harbour and nearby coves, as well as a great place for our son to jump off for a swim or sup. My only complaint is the mattress in the master. A duvet padded top has been added but does not much improve the overall comfort of the aging matress.

Relaxing stay with beautiful scenery
The pictures of the property do not do this place justice. The house is airy and tastefully decorated. Has a wonderful view of the garden and a spectacular view of the water and mountains. It is very quiet and peaceful exactly what we needed. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ on the deck, which we used every day. There are steps from parking space to the house and from the house to the water but it is very manageable. We had a deer family visiting us and a harbor seal swimming around and many more wildlife. With the easy access to the water we used the kayaks which were provided for free. For a rental house we expected a washer/dryer especially when you stay a little bit longer or travelling with kids. Other than that, we can highly recommend thi beautiful place.
