Relaxing holiday

My husband and I stayed here with our jack Russell terrier and had a wonderful and relaxing week. The place was modern, well appointed and as described in the booking. Especially loved the quiet private beach, paddle boarding in the mornings and local wine on the screened in back patio in the evenings. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a private getaway or a young family.

Comfortable and beautiful home in a fabulous holiday complex

Our family of six enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this lovely comfortable home just steps from the private beach on Osoyoos Lake. The complex also provides a beautiful clubhouse, workout facility and pool/hot tubs to enhance your stay. You are only minutes away from biking routes, hiking trails and gorgeous wineries.

Great beach house

The perfect place for a vacation at the beach. Two minute walk across the grass to a sandy and dog friendly beach. Even on the July 1st weekend the area was quiet and relaxing. The house was great and well stocked. Relaxing in the screened in sunroom was a great way to spend the evenings. Lots of outdoor and beach chairs and supplies as well. Highly recommended

Absolutely WONDERFUL

We just spent a month in this beautifully furnished and decorated cottage that is equipped with everything a traveller would need. Cottage is just steps from the beach and a club house with work-out equipment and a hot tub (during summer months 2 large swimming pools and a second hot tub are available). We enjoyed the walking trails and the tours to the area wineries. Sue was a perfect host. We are looking forward to returning next year.

Fantastic, Quiet, Sun & Water & Wine Vacation

Sue was wonderful to deal with and the condo was beyond our expectations with everything we needed. Close to the water and had hot and sunny days while we were there. There are many wineries close by including Burrowing Owl Estate Winery and Desert Hills Estate Winery which were two of our favorites. 15 minutes away from two nearby towns but this coupled with the gated community ensured a quiet and peaceful vacation. Fresh cherries were in season along with other fruit which was better than anything we could get at home.

Amazing family vacation!

The house was amazing and the amenities surpassed our expectations. Our kids loved the beach and the pools. My husband enjoyed paddle boarding around the lake, our dog loved the off leash swimming area and my favorite wineries are right down the road. The house was clean, well equipped and had lots of space for our family of 5. There is new construction nearby but it wasn't too intrusive and crews were gone by 3 pm most days. Owners were very responsive and great to work with. We're already planning our next visit!

Amazing home in a perfect location

We spent a week at this beach home and it was one of the best holidays we've had. The home was beautiful, well equipped, super clean and steps to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed and when we didn't want to cook, we just went into town for breakfasts or dinner and lots of wine! It was peaceful and so relaxing from the moment we arrived until we (sadly) had to leave. The beach is sandy and very private as it's only used by the residences. The landscaping within the community was beautiful with large open areas of grass and flowers were blooming. Thank you Sue for sharing your beach home with us!

Beautiful cottage steps away from Osoyoos Lake

Vacation starts as soon as you enter this beautiful cottage. It is equipped with everything you need in kitchen, on the patio and by the beach/pool. Air conditioning, screened windows and garage are a plus. Very peaceful community of cottage houses, ca. 15min drive away from town. Everything is brand-new, including the pool and gym at the club house. We can fully recommend staying at Sandpiper beachhouse and would return anytime. Thanks for being a great host, Sue and staying in close contact to us during our stay.

Awesome Holiday

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay at the SandPiper house. It was so nice to stay in a super clean, modern and well equipped home. The location is great. The house is really close to the water so you could easily walk to the beach for a swim or to launch your paddleboards or if you go to the wineries they are a short ten minute drive. The Platinum Winery is a must visit. They pair fresh bread with their wines, fantastic!!! The property is well laid out with a nice pool and hot tub, fire pits and volleyball nets on the beach. Sue runs a real good program, she was very good to deal with, no problems booking or getting any information from her. She has put together a house manual that provides all the info you will need about the house or things to do in the area. After a family trip I always ask, would we stay again at the same location and we all agreed we would without hesitation. G and D Wilson

Comfortable stay at the Cottages

This is an airy, well maintained unit with a vaulted kitchen/dining/living space. The kitchen is well equipped. The spacious master bedroom and en-suite are on the main floor. We ate most meals in the screened back porch with ample room for the six of us plus the occasional extra couple that would drop by during our two-week stay. The units on the opposite side of the grassed area are far enough away to leave you with a feeling of reasonable privacy. We enjoyed walks and bike rides on the paved pathways. It was just a five-minute walk to the pool(s) which were very refreshing in the hot Osoyoos summer climate. Speaking of Osoyoos, it is only a 15 minute drive from the Cottages to town (if you don't stop for a wine tasting at a vineyard) and one of those 'good feeling' small communities with very friendly staff wherever we shopped. The unit is close to the beach with direct access, but has no lake view. This is the only reason we did not give it a five-star rating.

Everything we hoped it would be

Our family of five stayed here for five nights and our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. Sue was easy to deal with and was responsive and helpful when we arrived and had to be reminded of the code to enter the house. The house itself is gorgeous and well looked after. The bedrooms are spacious. The appliances and fixtures top quality. The pictures of the surrounding landscaping do not do it justice because off the screened porch and back patio there is a beautiful green space to enjoy. Another great piece that you won't see from the pictures is the floating swimming dock in the lake swimming area which reasonably capable swimmers will enjoy jumping off. In addition to the volleyball area, the beach also has a play area for smaller children including swings, a couple of sand digging toys and a teatherball pole that older kids or teens will enjoy. The house is also close to the clubhouse where the swimming pools (toddler and regular) hot tubs, and games tables (table tennis & air hockey) are located. Everyone we passed on the walkways in this gated community was pleasant and friendly. The community is ridiculously close to many wineries including Burrowing Owl which is basically on the same road as you approach the property. Would definitely stay here again.

A fantastic property for families in a beautiful area

We just returned after a one week stay. The sandpiper beach house is well appointed and beautifully decorated, yet still comfortable and has everything you need -- even beach chairs and towels and a (very good) welcome bottle of local wine. The screened in veranda is lovely for breakfast or dinners outside without being bothered by bugs. The property itself is pretty low key and well maintained -- even though there was a lot of construction while we were there, the sites were immaculate and the builders very polite. The lake side beach is steps away from the house and shallow and sandy for little feet. The pool is a 2 minute walk and was never too busy. And we also enjoyed the concrete paths for safe scooter rides and the grass behind the house for general play. And to top it all off, you are only a 5 minute ride from Burrowing Owl Winery! Unlike other vacation rentals we stayed at, you need to bring all your kitchen staples (olive oil, condiments, dishwasher tabs, etc.) Usually elsewhere, the previous renters would leave extras in the pantry but that doesn't seem to be the case here. But Susan makes sure you have a starter pack for the dishwasher, coffee and laundry so you aren't stranded. Bath robes would be a welcome addition to make the place absolutely perfect. We will be coming back for certain.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Miller

Host profile image
We moved to Osoyoos from Calgary 10 years ago. It's a pleasure hosting rental guests at Sandpiper Beach House. Not only is it perfectly located just 30 steps from the beach and a 3-minute walk from the pools and hot tubs, we furnished and equipped it for a relaxing and enjoyable time.

Why they chose this property

We often traveled to Osoyoos in the spring when our Calgary winter seemed endless. We were amazed to see fruit trees in blossom in early April and fell in love with the desert surroundings. When we saw The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake we were excited to be able to own a home with so much sun, a few steps from a sandy beach - and warm water - something we don't have in Calgary at any time of year! It's a great place to relax and enjoy life.

What makes this property unique

This house is uniquely located so we see the beach and are only a few steps from the water. The master and second bedroom have beautiful views of the water, and we love the screened porch - which backs onto a large grassed meadow. The house is positioned so both sun and shade are easily-found and if there is wind in the backyard the front patio offers shelter and beach views. There is usually a lovely warm breeze and the birds provide great background music. The open plan feels really spacious and the community is beautifully landscaped with walking paths through-out. Oh and there are two pools and a hot tub too!
