Konrad Cottages - ビーチコテージ - Chaletの他の情報を見るVRBO＃1242906

Growing up spending time outdoors, camping or at the cottage with family, created many fond memories for me, sometimes just with my parent and my younger sister, and other times together with the whole extended family. Through these experiences, usually by a lake or the ocean, I understand how special these vacation times can be, bringing family closer together.

Here at Konrad Cottages I make it my goal to create the care free, comfortable, home away from home, were you our guests, can create special memories that will last a lifetime -- be it from the green grass for children to take first steps, providing beach toys, setting a campfire on the beach for first s'mores, or by offer helpful local knowledge on the great activities to choose from her on the Sunshine coast.

My parents, Peter and Maryanne Konrad, were looking for a vacation property with a safe accessible beach for swimming and boating for children and grandchildren, and for my sports fishing father who due to illness, had limited mobility. In the spring of 1984, when they saw this property on the quiet esplanade at Welcome Beach, they know their search was over.

Over the next 20 years they enjoyed gathering family with them each summer at the cottage, to enjoy family times, swimming, boating, and fishing. The property changed over those years. We added a second bedroom to the Beach Cottage first, then built the Chalet in 1992, to make room for our growing families.

My children, Theresa and Christine, and I have know this--peace of heaven--since they were born. Spending several weeks at the cottage each summer, as well as, many weekends each year, many wonderful family memories have been created here at the cottage.

With the love we had for the Halfmoon Bay area, and the special spot on Welcome Beach, my parents had discovered many years before, after the passing of my parents, in 2004 we took a leap of faith, and took over the property, and since then, it has been our pleasure to shared it with other families, couples, and groups, as a vacation rental.

The Sunshine Coast has long been a destination for cottagers, dating back to the turn of the century when the Union Steamships used to bring the wealthy ‘summer people’ up to the area, dropping them in Gibsons, Selma Park, Trail Bay, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour. The tradition still exists, but these days its usually people traveling by car and looking to jettison their everyday cares for a while where life goes at a slower pace, nature is ever-present, and old-fashioned activities that promote adventurousness and togetherness dominate. Welcome to our world at Konrad Cottages in Halfmoon Bay!

Konrad Cottages offers one of the best cottage/vacation rental experiences in Coastal British Columbia. Located in Halfmoon Bay, in a neighborhood referred to as Welcome Woods, our cottages are right on the water in one of the Coast’s most beautiful ocean bays – Welcome Beach.

Welcome Beach is one of the few truly sandy beaches on the Coast, and is one of the better-kept secrets too! Limited parking for day visitors and no major facilities means that crowds typically head to Davis Bay or Porpoise Bay Park. Meanwhile you wake up in your own beachfront cabin and step right onto the beach any time you like, with all of the amenities you need handy and close by.

You can walk the beach (it’s great for off-season storm watching too), swim along the shore or out to the float, put in your kayaks or small rowboats, or just sit on the beach and soak up some sun and watch the marine traffic go by while birds like the red-beaked oyster catcher, blue heron or bald eagle hunt along the shore and shallows.

You can choose to stay either in the Cottage, a 2 bedroom bungalow with level beach access, or a 2 bedroom chalet nestled in a cedar grove, with a sunny spacious deck and views of the ocean. We hope to see you soon.
