About Valerie Williams
Hello – I am a grandmother, originally from the UK and still retain the accent and British sense of humour!
I live on the main floor above the suite. While I completely respect the privacy of my guests, I am always happy to answer questions or help with directions.
Having met many people from around the world during my travels and while working in the airline and travel industry, I really enjoy continuing to meet new people without actually leaving home.
If you have children or pets, the friendly hospitality at Ferry Walk House is specifically designed to offer services that will make everyone’s stay comfortable and enjoyable. I can provide any child-related equipment you need. If I don't have it, I can arrange for rental. For your furry family member, there is a fully-fenced garden patio, towels are provided and (of course), doggy treats. As well, I offer babysitting and dog-sitting services.
I warmly invite you to come to stay at Ferry Walk House and enjoy life in Horseshoe Bay village.
Valerie Williams purchased this apartment in 2010
Why Valerie Williams chose West Vancouver
Horseshoe Bay is a unique part of West Vancouver. There is a village atmosphere and shop owners are friendly. If you stay long enough, they will get to know you by name. The mountain and sea views from the village are forever changing and unfailingly spectacular. I love where I live and when you get here, you will see why!
What makes this apartment unique
You will enjoy all the comforts of a home away from home and plenty of brochures to give you ideas about what to see and where to go. Before your arrival I will be sending you a digital "Welcome Book" giving you full details about your accommodation and the local area.
Bus travel cards are provided and these can be loaded online by credit card, or at the ferry terminal.
Ferry Walk House has an account with a local tour company and can book tours on behalf of guests, or obtain tickets to local sightseeing attractions. These includes the "Hop-On, Hop-Off" bus route in downtown Vancouver. The busses run every 15 minutes and are a great way to enjoy getting around the city.
Map
Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver is a perfect gateway to connect you to Vancouver, Whistler Ski Resort and Vancouver Island. You will be coming to enjoy a friendly village neighbourhood with spectacular harbour and mountain views that will take your breath away. You will be just steps from the ferry terminal, shops, restaurants, coffee shops, pub, and a child-friendly waterfront park.
Ferries are right on your doorstep. You can set off for a day trip to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, (90 minutes). Or in 20 minutes you can be in Snug Cove on Bowen Island, exploring quaint shops & deciding which restaurant looks the most appealing. Sechelt on B.C.’s scenic Sunshine Coast Is just 40 minutes away. You can visit the farmers markets, browse through the museums, or check out local festivals and events.
From Horseshoe Bay in 15 minutes or less, you can be exploring a coastal park, playing tennis, hiking through a 500-year old Douglas and Cedar fir forest, or setting off on a Sea Safari wildlife eco-tour. If you prefer to relax, you can wander down to the village for an ice-cream or coffee, or perhaps sit in the waterfront park and watch the ferries come and go. Or you can just relax with a book in your own patio garden.
City of Vancouver – you can be in the centre of Vancouver in 30 minutes by car and there is an express bus service departing from Horseshoe Bay. The options are simply too numerous to list in detail. Choose between beaches, parks, art galleries, museums, aquarium, Chinatown, Yaletown, Gastown, Granville Island Market, to name but a few. Numerous and diverse activities that can be enjoyed in this incredibly scenic city.
Ski and snowboarding on the local mountains is just 30 minutes away, or at Whistler (2010 Winter Olympics) is a 90 minute drive along one of the most scenic highways in the world. In summer these mountains offer endless outdoor activities and the views over Vancouver from Grouse and Cypress Mountains will stay in your mind’s eye forever.

Highly Recommended
Ferry Walk House is as it suggests - a short walk to the ferry terminal at Horseshoe Bay enabling travel to Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island with ease. Plus an express bus link to downtown Vancouver if that`s what you want, and you are already on Route 99 for an unforgettable journey to Whistler and beyond. There is much to see around the area. Valerie has worked hard to provide everything you need for a comfortable stay including luxury extras. Her pre-arrival information pack is highly detailed and she also provides lots of local information in the accommodation to help you plan those days out. Loved the private patio and lush garden, which we made good use of. Suggest you shop on route , as only basic general store in Horseshoe Bay. Valerie had provided some staples like fruit, bottles of water, cereal, cookies and tea and coffee to get started. We had a lovely week and were sad to leave, and would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
Excellent location, hospitality was fantastic.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Our host was very attentive to our needs. I highly recomend it and would return without hesitation
Great Location
We had a lovely week staying at Ferry Walk House. Really nice house with everything you could want for your stay, Valerie has thought of everything. The house is in a great location just 2 minutes walk to the front with shops and restaurants, the bus into Vancouver and the ferry port.
Valerie is on hand if you need help/advice.Horseshow Bay is a truly lovely place to stay and with very easy access to Vancouver makes it a perfect base.
Great Location!
My husband and I celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary here for 4 nights in late May. We brought our two small dogs, so it was great to find a nice, pet-friendly place to stay. Valerie was great! She treated us like family. The place was very clean and private. The location was perfect! It really is the Ferry Walk House, so convenient to everything in the area. We loved Horseshoe Bay. There are restaurants, coffee shops, a nice park, etc. We loved just hanging out there with a latte and book in hand. We had a vehicle, but it would be easy to get around without one, public transport was abundant. The central location in West Vancouver, made it easy to either head to adventure in the mountains or the city. We took the ferry to Bowen Island (the ferry ride alone is epic with all the beautiful scenery), we went toward Whistler and explored Shannon Falls and took an awesome Gondola Ride up to the top of a mountain. Many parks in the area to take our dogs. We planned to explore the city of Vancouver more, but we were content to stay around West Vancouver and just relax. I highly recommend! Thanks Valerie.
Perfect for city or rural dwellers. Quick access to Vancouver, Ferries etc
Lovely lovely lovely. Wonderful spot. Very relaxing. Wonderful host. Went out of her way to look after all of the details. Highly recommend. Looking forward to staying again.
Perfect home away from home!
My family and I stayed at Ferry Walk House for the month of November, 2016 while we renovated our house, and we had a wonderful time! The property is in a perfect location, just steps away from shops, restaurants, the beach, transit, and the ferry of course. We have 2 small dogs so we were thrilled to find a place that allowed them too. The suite was very clean, well appointed and Valerie made sure we had everything we needed so that we felt right at home. I'd recommend Ferry Walk House to anyone!
Thank you Valerie!
