Very welcoming host, shared lots of local tips. We were even shown a local baker’s little stand where we bought some amazing baked goods, a cherry on top of the weekend! The view of course was breathtaking, lots of seals to watch and listen to, felt like we were IN the water, we were that close. Even though the hosts were in the main house, the separate beach house felt like it was on an entirely different property, very private!

We loved our stay here! Would have liked to stay longer than our 4 nights Private, cozy and you couldn’t be any closer to the ocean without floating in it. Thank Christine & Jock for the opportunity to experience the ocean life.

Gracious hosts, a quiet location in a charming cottage with nice walks close by made for a truly enjoyable stay. Sunny or stormy weather , it is a great location! Every need was anticipated and provided for with a well furnished kitchen, comfortable beds, deep soaker tub, wood stove prepped and ready for the match and an outside barbecue and fire pit to roast the hot dogs. The closeness to the water and the views were magical . The cottage decor and layout were well thought out and made for a relaxing stay. Thank you! We will be back.

Wonderful winter getaway

Incredible ocean side location in a quaint lovely cottage. Incredible views and lovely wood burning fireplace to keep the place cozy. Pro tip, give the hosts your arrival eta so they can warm the place up for arrival. Place had everything you need and a good base to explore Powell River.

The hosts were amazing!! We broke down on our way and they offered to come pick us up. They greet you when you arrive and say goodbye when you leave. This was a very nice change from other places. The house is absolutely stunning, cozy, very clean and the views are outstanding!! Waking up in the morning to the sounds of Eagles and seals was dreamy . Our dog especially loved the water. The cabin has everything that you need and then anything that you may have forgotten! The views are outstanding! We will be back!! We highly recommend checking this place out !!

About the host

Hosted by Christine or Jock McLauchlan

Host profile image
We purchased the above property with an old cabin on the beach as a getaway from the pressures of city life in Vancouver. This quiet rural area known as 'Stillwater' twenty kilometers, south of Powell River became our family's place of tranquility and restoration. When we both retired in 2001 we moved from Vancouver to commence building our retirement home. A few years later we decided to renovate the 'old cabin' and recently completed our eco-friendly 'Beach House' which we now offer for your enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

Living right next to the ocean on a well forested acreage in a rural setting has proven to be a very healthy and beneficial lifestyle choice for us.

What makes this property unique

We appreciate the opportunity to conserve energy whilst not compromising our appreciation of comfort and beauty. To live off the grid most of the time thus assisting in our overall hope to minimize our ecological footprints.
