About this property

Heron Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, studio for 2, hot tub

The Heron Suite is a private studio for 2 adults (double bed, 1 bathroom, about 500 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Set slightly back from the beachfront for added privacy, with a partial ocean view and easy beach access. An ocean-fed hot tub is included, with a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.

This charming, cozy open-concept space features a kitchen, a living area and a fireplace for relaxed evenings together. Enjoy sunrise coffees or storm-watching from the shared sunset deck by the beach.

Perfect for romantic escapes, solo wellness retreats, or as an add-on suite for wedding groups.

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, and thoughtfully designed to offer both privacy and community. 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.

THE SUITES

Hemlock Suite (upper level): sleeps 6

Sitka Suite (upper level): sleeps 6

Cedar Suite (lower level): sleeps 6

Heron Suite (studio): sleeps 2 adults

AMENITIES Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat's outdoor amenities, including the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola and two fire pits.

Oceanfront hot tub: included with your stay, booked by appointment. Adults only.

Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.

Tesla Level 2 EV charger (240V): available for a fee. It has a Tesla (NACS) connector, so non-Tesla vehicles need their own adapter. We don't provide one.

Outdoor shower and invigorating cold bucket splash, or take a plunge in the ocean.

Advance booking through our website is required for the hot tub, sauna and EV charger, to ensure availability and privacy.

GOOD TO KNOW

Heron is for 2 adults only. Families with children are welcome in our Sitka Suite.

Pet friendly, with a $60 pet fee to cover extra cleaning. Please note the property is not fenced.

Free parking on the property, in front of the suites.

The beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.

Streaming: Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix and Apple TV+.

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.

Perfect peaceful getaway

This spot is lovely and cozy with tons of cozy touches. We loved the wood burning stove and the cabin itself is thoughtfully appointed. We enjoyed the cedar tub and our pup loved the beach. The hosts were excellent with timely updates when en route and answered our questions quickly and friendly. We are already talking about returning later in the year and can’t wait.

Relaxing stay right at the beach

We felt right at home in this beautiful and well equipped suite. There was a heat warning during our stay, but with the fans provided and a cooler ocean breeze at night we were still comfortable. The hosts are amazing and their property is absolutely stunning. We spent hours relaxing at the beach taking it all in. Thank you for being pet friendly!

Anniversary getaway

My husband and I really enjoyed our getaway at Arbutus Cove Resort in the Heron Suite. It was the perfect size for us and our small dog. We appreciated arriving in the suite with ambient music playing and the relaxing scent of the aromatherapy diffuser welcoming us. Both Sean & Jenny were gracious & wonderful hosts and were always available if/when needed. The piece de resistance of course was found outside in the ocean water hot tub! We LOVED relaxing in there while soaking in the expansive views of the ocean and even dipping into the calm waters. When not in the hot tub, it was so good to just chill in the gazebo on the beach or on an Adirondack chair around the fire pit. We’d love to go back!

A small slice of paradise!

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and found the hosts were perfect; friendly, informative and quick to respond to our questions about the location and area in general. The unit was efficiently laid out, was well stocked and the fireplace made the evenings very cozy. We loved using the ‘cooker’ and plan to buy one for ourselves. The location was also perfect as it was between Lund and Powell River so we could easily travel in either direction without the long drive. The hot tub was welcoming along with the beachside gazebo. The wildlife was fun to spot and the sound of the bullfrogs at night was amazing. This is a place we would be happy to return to and would have no hesitation recommending to others! Did we mention it was pet friendly as well!

No electricity in the kitchen area

Hi the place was very clean & cute. The owners live steps away so no privacy. The owners were very nice. We had to email then half a dozen times because the electricity didn’t work. It was very hard using the kitchen area because the power kept going off twice during dinner & we never even got to make a cup of coffee in the morning because again the electricity kept going off. They’d fix it go home & it was off again. The bed is a double too small & the hot tub is just a cedar tub with no jets. We were told we’d get a full refund. We got it less 150.09 not impressed
