About this property
A luxurious 3 bedroom oceanside retreat
BC Short Term Registration # H599216838
A 2500 square foot property overlooking Craig Bay. With great indoor / outdoor flows. It is great for big family trips or sharing with friends. It was previously used as the reception suite for wedding parties given its size, its layout and great artwork. A NEW HEAT PUMP SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED MID OCT 2025.
3 large bedrooms, all with adjoining bathrooms,coffee making facilities and televisions.
The master bedroom (275 sq feet) has a luxury super king bed, a jacuzzi bath, gas fireplace and outdoor access to the front deck and the views over the Bay. We have recently moved the sofa bed into this room. Great for keeping the kids close.
The second upstairs bedroom (360 sq foot) has a luxury queen bed and a queen size sofa bed nearby. Ideal for a young family who want to share. Access to the outside balconies is ideal for providing a hide-away and for keeping the place cool in summer.
The other ground floor Bedroom also has a queen bed, tv, coffee making facilities and an outside private deck area (187 sq foot)
The Living Room is very spacious (286 sq foot) with cathedral ceilings and some great art work. It also has plenty of comfortable queen seating for those big family holidays.
Our home comfortably sleeps 8-10.
Recently upgrade satellite coverage, gives you TV on demand.
The Kitchen is open plan with a breakfast bar and great views over the Bay (138 sq foot + 192 sq foot). The morning views are even better when you are first up with your cup of coffee/tea in hand.
The adjacent Dining Room (168 sq foot) adds to the open plan feel and with a sky light it adds to the light and airy feel. Comfortably seats 8.
With a huge makeshift table, we have had many evening diners with over 12 people. Again great for adding to your holiday memories whilst enjoying family and friends watching the sun go down. You might even see our resident bald eagle if you are out there for lunch. The Patio area covers 300 sq foot + a lawn area of 800 sq feet).

About the host
Hosted by Gary McElroy
We live in New Zealand and bought the place from our great friends so that we could carry on a tradition of our annual summer family holiday's.
I had 2 younge girls who just loved exploring for crabs and shells on the beach. It's one of the best parts of their year and they have it planned months in advance.

Why they chose this property
Though we were best mates whilst I lived in the UK, the family that we bought it from are very much seen as our extended family. It's a great place to build happy memories.
What makes this property unique
Pacific Shores Resort is a great location for a holiday or a break-away. We have one of the best units, certainly the largest, and likely the best views.
