About this property
Runner, Bikers, Writers, Nature Lovers - A Family Friendly Vacation Home for You
Away from the bustle of the city, this hideaway is a marvelous location for nature exploration, exercise, relaxation, or a retreat to do creative work. It is a quiet self-catering, self-contained Bed and Breakfast one bedroom suite, located in a contemporary country beach community home. It has all the amenities of comfort and then some.
Location, Location, Location! Your suite is a 10 minute drive from the Lansdale Ferry, and downtown Gibsons’ shops, restaurants, artists studios and entertainment.
This is a perfect home base for exploring the coast, enjoying runs, walks and bike rides. The gentle environment is filled with birdlife, including jays, woodpeckers, gulls, eagles and humming birds.
Only a 0.3 km walk away is Gibson’s Ocean Beach Esplanade trail. The path is a five mile round trip loop from our front door. The Esplanade is along the waterfront, with public beach access, frequent benches, packed dirt for low impact running or walking, and black top for biking. Chaster Park is located along the Esplanade and is a popular destination for picnics, and beach combing, especially at low tide. The area is a frequent sight for weddings, romantic getaways and meditation. Two playgrounds are within a few minutes walk for those families that want outdoor entertainment close by.
Gibsons also is the site of the K2, or Knob Trail — which is an intermediate trail leading to Mount Elphinstone, and the 26 mile bike loop of Mount Elphinstone Provincial Park. Kayak launching is available at Gibson harbor, and other nearby water sport venues.
The Layout: A spacious, elegantly appointed, bedroom and bath is separate from the living room, dining room and wall of windows and doors leading to a private deck. These chambers overlook southwestern ocean and mountain views, pine, deciduous trees, fruit, and flower gardens. The French contemporary designed kitchen is complete with island, full refrigerator, microwave, stove, cookware, coffee/tea set up, and table settings.
Additional Amenities Notes The suite has a separate entrance, parking space, and laundry access. There is an entertainment center with books, games, CD player, TV with cable and Netflix and Free WIFI. All bedding and linens are included in the rate. Along with the Queen Size bed, a double pull out sofa bed in the living room expands the sleeping space to four.

About the host
Hosted by Marilynne and Michael Friedman
We moved from the hustle and noise of Vancouver to the quiet sunny Coast to experience nature again ! Michael, my husband is a performing musician and I am a travel consultant. Both of us work from home in our nature inspired surroundings. We are kept busy with the upkeep of our huge garden of vegetables, fruit trees and flowers of all kinds when not working. We want to share this experience with as many people a possible so we decided not to rent out our suite full time to one person but to offer it to visitors so they too can enjoy our lifestyle here on the Coast.
We chose this property from 15 different properties in different areas on the Coast. It has a fully planted garden, a large suite, two large kitchens (one in the suite). There is a beautiful view out across the Salish Sea to Vancouver Island.
Why they chose this property
This property allows us to have our own privacy and enjoy the surroundings as well as offer the suite on the next level down our property for those who wish to come and sample the life on The Sunshine Coast.
What makes this property unique
You have a large one bedroom suite with the feeling of being in the trees with no neighbours around. The quiet is quite enjoyable as you gaze out to the Strait of Georgia and to Vancouver Island. Lots of room for our of door activities as well as ample space inside for those few rainy days !!
