Hemlock Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, oceanfront, hot tub
The Hemlock Suite is a private, top-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront suite (1 king, 2 queens; about 1,100 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Sleeps 6, with an ocean-fed hot tub included and a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.
From the moment you step inside, you'll feel at home in this thoughtfully designed space. With a full kitchen, spacious living areas and fireplaces for cozy evenings, Hemlock promises a relaxing stay for you and your companions.
Set on 1.2 acres of lush greenery, with stunning ocean views and the snow-capped mountains of Vancouver Island as your backdrop, Hemlock offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.
ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each. Explore kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries and browse artisan markets. Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.

GETTING HERE Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.
By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.

The host are very friendly and they did a pretty good job of providing everything we needed. Great place to stay, hoping to make it back there someday.
We’ve stayed in pretty much every rental accommodation in the Powell River area, and this was by far the best! Amazing views, great location, and especially the quality of the rental itself are what stood out. We’ll be back, and would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.
We had a great time. The property was the best equipped we have stayed in. quality beds and linens, really comfy. Great ocean outlook with a beach side hot tub (that actually worked).
Will recommend this property to all our friends.
Beautiful property on the ocean, the house is immaculate and has an abundance of high quality features. The host was exceptional and made our stay perfectly comfortable. We had a wonderful time and will book this property again next summer
Great property with amazing views! The property is very nicely finished with everything you need to your getaway. The views, from almost every room, were amazing. If you are looking for a quiet spot to relax and unwind you can't go wrong.
Our most incredible and memorable time together was spent at the Hemlock suite. It exceeded all our expectations and we will for sure be returning next year but definitely for more than one night!! Thank you Jenny and Sean for your genuine care and support for our family having an amazing experience!
Our extended family stayed in the Hemlock and Cedar Suites. The accommodation was perfect for our families; the kitchen and living areas were very well equipped and large enough for us all and the beds were very comfortable. The location in the water is gorgeous- and the beach fire was a bonus. Thank you Sean and Jennifer.
We’ve rented many vacation homes and this one still surpassed our expectations. Lovely and perfectly cared for inside, with very friendly, helpful hosts. We were completely satisfied. Thanks, Sean and Jennifer!
