Overall, property was fine. Clean, nice view and location, well provisioned. Perhaps showing a degree of decay and ongoing attention, the mattress in master bedroom seems to be wearing, it's likely the door entry code had not been changed in last 10 months (the same code was used for guests last summer), trash has accumulated on slope below deck, and a couple of lights were out on the property, etc.
Thank you for staying with us - it was pure luck we actually had a last minute cancellation and you were looking for a last minute booking while in Powell River due to change of plans! Enjoyed having you as guests!! Safe travels home and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Property was nice and one of the cleanest and most responsive VRBO’s we have ever stayed at. Quite the journey to get there from the cruise port but worth the scenic drive.

Thank you for your kindest words! We are glad you were able to experience a slice of the Sunshine Coast life and beautiful BC from TX!
Our stay was quiet and peaceful. We had sunny weather, but even on a cold or rainy day, this is the perfect place to curl up and enjoy the ocean panorama from the window. Loved it!

Awww, we love your kind words and you were great guests! People find us through word of mouth so glad you found us!
Clean, awesome quiet location. Perfect place to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Communication with the owner was top notch and the place was spotless when we arrived. This was just the perfect weekend getaway for us.

I had a wonderful stay at The Beach House. I absolutely recommend my friends and family visit.
Pets welcome. Poor warning about boil water advisory. Good view. Only able to walk on sandy beach at very low tide.

Sorry to hear you didn’t have the best time. The boil advisory is usually in our pre-check in notes that sometimes gets overlooked. To clarify too, there is a beach in front of us at all times, the beach is smaller at high tide, and during low tide especially in warmer weather (not the winter), the beach in front of us opens up so wide you can walk “forever” from one side to way over on the other side. Best wishes.

We had a lovely stay at the Beach House
We stayed at the Beach House over the Christmas holidays and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the surroundings and the views - the kitchen was well stocked for our cooking needs and we had a lovely, relaxing time away from it all.

We loved having you as a guest! Glad you had a good restful time!
Great view. Loved hanging out on the deck and accessing the beach when at the beach house. Scented drier sheets permeated the air. Definitely would prefer an unscented and chemical free air space.
Nicole was quick to respond to queries which is appreciated. The view is nice but most of the furniture shown in the pictures were put away for the winter. I had picked this property so I could sit on the outdoor couch and read so I was disappointed and wish this was communicated before we rented. The property was clean. We found the beds too hard for our liking but you cannot please everyone with the type of bed. There are minimal cooking pots so for someone like me who likes to cook it made things difficult. We were only two and found the property a bit crammed. We had an issue with the batteries dying in the lock but someone came very quickly once I got a hold of Nicole. There doesn’t appear to be any outdoor light on the deck ( or it is burnt out) which made it harder to barbecue once the sun went down. Overall, the stay was ok.

Oh my, sorry it sounds like you didn’t have the best time at all. We still had the Adirondack chairs out but perhaps you were thinking something else. In winter, we usually store some furniture that doesn’t hold up well in pelting rain, however, had you mentioned it to us, we might have brought our lounger out. I hope despite that, you were able to enjoy the warm weather. We will be adding another pot for longer stays like yours though we typically get shorter stays, not 2 weeks, thanks for the feedback. To say the least, we are disappointed with the review as it hurts business and I wish you had communicated that during your stay to give us a chance to make things better as you had when the lock battery died but thank you for the feedback and we always strive to do better.
Solid place over looking the ocean and you get everything. Forest, water, even animals with deer greeting us in the morning.Place is fully equipped if you want to cook a dinner or just chill on a patio. Rooms are spacious and clean. Check in was such a breeze.

About the host
Hosted by Nicole
We are a family with kids who fell in love with Texada on a short visit!
We love ocean views and this cozy log cabin was the perfect fit! We love that this island has a real sense of community, but also is a perfect getaway from the city and a place for memories to be made. A place for recharging one's senses and where people are real and super friendly! We hope to share this island experience with you.
Why they chose this property
Here's our Video! https://youtu.be/vFP_vXgjPBw
Unbeatable views on Texada from this cabin. Best location on the island - Gillies Bay! Convenient to everything there is! Waterfront! With miles and miles of beach during low tide in the summer. Great for stormwatching in the fall and winter (lower rates and min nights) Create memories here! Relax and unwind!
What makes this property unique
Waterfront. Your almost private beach in front. Best on the island, we dare say! Doesnt get better than this! The view is simply stunning.
We have a bbq so you can grill all year. We are super close to the Grocery Store! Fluffy white towels. White sheets.
Unlike a lot of vacation rentals on the island where owners live in it and rent out a portion of their house for income, we do not! That's correct, we dont live on premise, so you have privacy!
We have a Keurig K-Café Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker, with Milk Frother and a regular coffee maker. Bring your K-Cups and milk, and if you're a coffee afficionado, your own coffee, but we have some coffee provided!
