COMMENTS
Sept. 2006 - Our family absolutely fell in love! Loved the view the house - Great Blue Heron comes for breakfast every morning. Tide comes and goes with such variation in water level that leaves thousands of starfish for us to see. Beachcombing is terrific! The location is everything we would have dreamed, only more. You are so lucky to have it. Thank you kindly for sharing.

Sept. 2006 - "Our first gasping wonderment at this gracious home with its glorious location , slow cozy wake-ups with coffee and the changing sea, a luxurious deck supper, the shore birds, boat traffic, the corgis!!!, beachcombing and relaxing in this welcoming and exquisitely appointed home on the ocean. While we came to enjoy Sechelt and the Sunshine Coast we couldn't wait for our house time. Thank you for making us welcome here. We promise to return soon." KCLS & M who will be here next time
email from our housekeeper - Just a quick note to say that the five young mothers arrived and I received the Visa imprint. At the risk of repeating myself every time people see your home for the first time, they were awestruck.
See you Sunday, Ursula
phone message from Patrick Aug./ 06 " - Bob, just to let you know we have arrived. It is absolutely fabulous. Words can't describe it. We are going to have a great week. Talk to you later. "
Phone call from Pierre Jan. '07 - The storm watching is fantastic! It's like being on the prow of a ship with the waves crashing on either side yet being safe and sound well above"
email from Hugh Mar. '07 - We certainly enjoyed staying at your fabulous location. The place is so beautiful and well thought out. Can't say I can think of anything you could add...
email from L.M. May '07
"Sargeant Bay Wonderland" We had a fabulous time at that little slice of heaven at Sargeant Bay.
email - J.K. Aug '07 - We were all able to swim, jump off the rocks, float, explore along the beach. We rented kayaks, took a short lesson and guided 3 hour kayak trip the first day, then brought them back to the house. We loved kayaking around Sargeant Bay and up both sides of the coast. My husband even made it around one of the Trail Islands and back. We also did alot of hiking, Triangle Lake and Trout Lake. My husband brought his road bike and enjoyed a couple of rides. An active holiday enjoyed by all. We always ended our days with oceanside happy hour and dinner following. It was a fantastic week.
this beautiful house and the location is priceless.
email- P.M. June 08 - Bob & Heather, Just spent three glorious days in Utopia, a. k. a. “The Sanctuary at Sargeant Bay”.
Our team of eight ladies ignored the inclement weather and enjoyed the peace and serenity of this home.
We ate, we drank, we sang, we danced and even played at golf.
It doesn’t get much better than this.
Thank you for a great stay.
comment July 08 - Second time here was even better than the first. The "view" is unbelievable. I call this house "BAO LEE OAK" - translates to "Glass House" in Chinese.
comment K. family Sept. 08 - Words cannot describe the views and tranquility of this fabulous home! Lots of fun around the dining room table - 6 of us in the hot tub. Lazy sunning on the deck and adventures on the beach.
email C.C. Oct. 08 - Hi Bob, We never got a chance to sign the guest book before we left. I wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had at your home. I've never seen a property like it. One night a good sized storm rolled in. Laying in bed listening to the sound of wind rattling the windows and crashing surf was magical. We love storms. We almost never get weather like that in the San Francisco Bay area.
I can't wait to come back some.
Thanks again for wonderful, magical place to stay.
Email Mar./09 from C.J. Hi. Everything went well for us this weekend...what a beautiful place!! wow!!
email Sept. 09 from DC We stayed here two years ago and the group can't stop talking about it. Booked a different place last year and it wasn't the same We'd like to book again.
