Read More...We had the fortune of seeing our hosts when we arrived at their beautiful house at the edge of Sechelt. Rose and Bryan provided a delicious lunch for us and gave us valuable tips and literature that would fill our days with kayaking, hiking and sightseeing all along the southern part of the coast. Sechelt is a small, nice town, located on the ancestral land of the shíshálh Nation, with indigenous cultural and commercial organizations, a museum, village, and totem poles along the beach. The weather was very cooperative, and some drizzle added to the mystical atmosphere in the forest, where we walked along Chapman Creek to observe thousands of pink salmon migrating upstream to spawn. The view of the sea from the nicely furnished house and the balcony is spectacular and the beach is just a few steps away. Having had a marvelous time, we highly recommend this place for an exchange. Thank you very much, Rose and Bryan!

Read More...Sunshine Coast is a wonderful place for nature lovers. We enjoyed hiking, amazing views, lakes, and scenic coastline which we could admire also from kayaks. Our kids loved the variety of animals they could observe. Rose's and Bryan's home is spaceous and comfortable, just a few minutes walk from the ocean. Friendly neighbours were a nice bonus :) We had a great family holidays!

Highly recommended! I must also mention how amazing Rose was as she mailed a few things we forgot and had left behind! Thank you!!

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
A 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver and 30 minute drive from the Langdale terminal brings you to Wakefield Beach. Our townhouse is the end unit in a triplex, part of a small development on the waterfront. Kayaking, swimming and beach walks are just steps away. There is a beautiful pebble beach across the creek to the west. The pebbles are small and smooth - a perfect hot stone massage after a kayak or swim. Protected by the Trail Islands and Vancouver Island the ocean is usually fairly calm in the summer but the windsurfing is excellent when the wind gets up. Restaurants, shopping, public swimming pool, library and gym are within 5 km. Our home can be reached by public transit but a car is necessary to explore the surrounding area.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
The ocean and pebble beach are steps away. Kayak out to the islands to see seals and bird life, even the occasional humpback or killer whale. The amazing Skookumchuk rapids with standing waves are a short drive away and the Suncoaster mountain bike trail nearby.
