We absolutely loved our stay at Brian and Carol’s place …. From their immaculate and well appointed carriage house to the amazing and peaceful location right on the water. They generously shared their canoe with us to putter around the spectacularly beautiful area including a jaunt to Deep Cove for lunch. The hikes to Jug Island and Sassamat Lake aren’t to be missed.Their hospitality and attention to detail are second to none!

Always a great stay! Mahalo to Brian & Carol for being such great hosts. There were even improvements this time as they have replaced the TV with a huge new one, added a heat pump for hot or cold air in the bedroom and additional device hub for all our electronics charging. We love the solitude of the place and we’ve now found a great ice cream shop (no sugar/dairy chocolate) right in Port Moody! We’ll be back.

Beautiful carriage house in lovely Belcarra

We can't say enough to express how pleased we were with the accomodations and location of this beautiful apartment. Our host, Brain and Carol, were very gracious and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The property is beautifully furnished, making you feel at home and not staying in a rental. We hope to visit again and will pass on this wonderful property to friends and family who may visit Vancouver in the future.

Best Place Between Forest & Sea

This is our second time staying at this charming carriage house in Belcarra next to Indian Arm. Very close to many nature trails and convenience of shops and eateries. Very quiet neighborhood but not too isolated. Will definitely stay here again soon!

Lovely place, close to everything!

The rental was cute! It had everything you needed to stay for a decent vacation. I mostly was in and out of the city, but the car ride to the train station and beyond was very quick and easy! Brian and Carol were lovely and made sure to check-in and make sure you had everything you needed!

Lovely wooded getaway

After the bustle of Vancouver, this was a nice relaxing week in the wilderness, but close enough to town that we could get groceries, go out to dinner, and even get transportation all the way to Whistler. Attentive property owner and a good accommodation, with a full-size kitchen, full bath and laundry machines, which saved us some packing. Right on the water and very close to several good hikes. Lots of fun!

Beautiful Retreat on Belcarra Bay

I had a phenomenal stay at Brian & Carol’s carriage house. Perfect work retreat right on Belcarra Bay, directly in walking distance to some amazing walking/hiking trails, and about a 40 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. Do take them up on use of the canoe! Deep Cove is a short paddle away. I’d absolutely look to stay here again if and when I return to this area of BC.
