Location: Halfmoon Bay, Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Coast & Mountains, British Columbia, Canada (2 hours by road and ferry from Vancouver)
Accommodations: Oceanview Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 8)
We invite you to our cozy 3 bedroom cottage in Halfmoon Bay. You will forget all the stresses of city living as soon as you arrive. Surrounded by the forest and taking in the expansive views over Halfmoon Bay and beyond to Vancouver Island’s snow capped mountains, you will soon experience a sense of well being and contentment.
Situated on a small hill adjacent to the shore, it’s only steps to the beach and the historic Redrooffs Trail that will take you to the Halfmoon Bay General Store, the Upper Crust Gourmet Store and the government wharf.
Watch bald eagles, blue herons and osprey share the sky. Closer to shore, you’ll see seals, sea lions, otters and a great variety of water fowl. Sunsets are spectacular and provide many photo opportunities.
In the summertime there is a steady stream of boat traffic as beautiful yachts head up Welcome Passage on their way to the famous cruising grounds of Desolation Sound. In the evenings, Alaska bound cruise ships can be seen heading up the Strait of Georgia in the golden glow of the setting sun. There is always something to see and there are many recreational activities for visitors.
Kayak in Halfmoon Bay or head over to Buccaneer Bay on Thormanby Island where you can enjoy one of the finest sandy beaches in the Strait of Georgia. Play golf at one of our challenging courses or go hiking on the many trails. Drive up to Egmont (35minutes) and enjoy the easy 45 minute hike into the famous Skookumchuk Narrows where you can view one of the largest and fastest tidal rapids in the world running at over 14 knots! Take an easy hike up Pender Hill in Irvine’s Landing and enjoy spectacular views of Pender Harbour (sometimes called “Venice of the North”), the Strait of Georgia and Vancouver Island.
Go fishing. There is excellent fishing with guides available in Secret Cove and other locations. Closer to home, you can try your luck right off the Halfmoon Bay government dock. Rent a boat from Buccaneer Marina in Secret Cove and explore the coastline and islands.
Or, just enjoy the cottage and relax. Sit on the deck and read your favourite book. Watch one of our many movies or rent one at the historic Halfmoon Bay General Store. Soak in the hot tub after going for your walk. The opportunities for your enjoyment are countless.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend here at the cottage. Enjoyed some nice weather, boating around Secret Cove and Thormanby Island. Sunday was light rain but that didn't stop us from having coffee in the hot tub, late brunch and some more boating.

We had a wonderful week of gorgeous weather - saw lots of birds (but no bears). John kayaked every day and I enjoyed the peace, quiet and beauty of the deck. Got a lot of reading and deep thinking done! The garden and deck plantings are spectacular this year - glad we came back for an entire week this time. We are so looking forward to coming back again. Thank you for sharing your warm and welcoming cottage with us.

What a lovely place this is, with its beautiful foliage, breathtaking scenery and friendly people! Absolutely love it - we felt at home right away. We have had a wonderful week - walking, exploring, touring, and just generally enjoying your wonderful cottage - at last! It took us two tries but it ws worth the wait! BC is so nice - perhaps the loveliest we have visited - second only to our home in Colorado! Thanks,

Wow! What an awesome place. Had a terrific time at the water - exploring the trails and relaxing. Had a surprise visitor while playing crib on the deck - a small black bear wandering through your yard. Got his picture taken and then wandered off. We would like to return. Thank you so much.
