Loved this cabin by the ocean! Perfect for a much needed getaway. It was so quiet and peaceful with only the sound of the waves and the occasional sea lion.The hosts were wonderful, even helping us unload our car on arrival. There are stairs down to the cabin which could be a problem for those with mobility issues.We would highly recommend this little bit of heaven and hope to visit it again in the future!

You couldn’t ask for better hosts than Jock and Christine. They went the extra mile for us when our car battery died and we needed a boost. They were friendly, kind and helpful but not intrusive. The beach house was perfect and everything we hoped for. I brought my kayak and enjoyed launching it from the beach that was right in front of the cottage. Sitting on the deck watching the seals and the sunsets and listening to the sea lions was a treat. The kitchen was well stocked and I was so happy to make lattes with their state of the art espresso maker. I enjoyed being able to look at the trees and ocean while soaking in the deep tub. It is quiet and private but close enough to Powell River if you want some action. There are plenty of good hiking spots nearby as well.

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.

We thank you for your kind words! Thank you for allowing us to host your family whilst Wyatt took part in the hockey tournament. Congrats to him and his team for their good results.They are forgiven for defeating our local team! Hopefully our paths will cross again someday. Have a safe trip back up north!

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.

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 new '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 share this unique spot close to the ocean with abundant wildlife all around. Experience the crashing waves or calm waters in all kinds of weather. The cottage is completely winterized, cosy and warm with a wood burning fireplace.
