THE PROPERTY

The five acre waterfront estate includes Studio ISO, Aerie, a glazed Modern Treehouse and the Pointhouse, as well as 260 feet of low bank oceanfront commanding a sunny point with a private beach. The Pointhouse operates mainly as a B&B for guests who want a little more pampering and wish to be directly at the waters edge. It can also be booked for vacations or small private events such as intimate weddings, family reunions, birthdays.., with or without the Aerie or Studio ISO.

Studio ISO offers space for art, massage, exercise as well as guest accommodations. It can be booked separately or with the Aerie for larger family/friend groups that want individual private spaces to retreat to.

The estate property includes a dedicated beach trail to access the waterfront for beachcombing, kayaking, SUP or swimming. We also have a mooring buoy in the bay for temporary overnight anchorage for B&B guests or guests renting out the whole Pointhouse. Extra charges may apply for moorage.
Other property features include natural forest, gardens, firepits, viewpoints and a new Lido Spa with oceanfront sauna, cold plunge, lido and spa gardens. New spa will include zen studio for massage, yoga, spa treatments or meditation. Additional charges will apply for Aerie guests. Check availability ahead of time.

If the waterfront amenities are not available, the beach at Sargeant Bay is a short walk or drive away. It is sandy at low tide much more expansive and very nice for swimming. There is amazing kayaking in Halfmoon Bay, Gibsons and the Inlet and kayaks are easily rented in those areas.

The location is very central to all that the Sunshine Coast offers -Restaurants, galleries, hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, golf, tennis, and more. Ten Minutes to Sechelt - 30 minutes to either Pender Harbor or Gisbons. Easy access to Vancouver Island, Vancouver or Whistler by ferry or float plane. The only problem with planning to explore the Coast is -You won't ever want to leave the property!

Perfect for a romantic getaway, a relaxing family vacation, small weddings or meetings, a week of sun and water sports with friends, or cosying up by the fire to watch the winter storms.

    Enjoyed our stay here for a rainy cozy fall weekend. Big windows and hot tub were our favourite. Nice trails down to the beaches.

    Can't praise this place enough. Great place for a quiet escape. You feel like you're in the middle of the woods while lounging on the couch in the living room. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Definitely staying here again.

    Incredible location and surroundings! Truly a special place. The home is beautifully decorated, but maybe not super comfortable. For example, the kitchen chairs are plastic and the sofa/chaise doesn’t have a real back, just pillows that slide off. The guests before us put dirty dishes back in the cupboards and broke a blind. Given that there is not AC, could have used some shade from the hot sun during the afternoons. Beautiful sand beach through a train on the property and the most comfortable duvet ever.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this studio! It was just what we needed for a little vacation. The views of the ocean was great, and the short walk down too! It’s a hidden gem with easy to access to highways to travel and explore the rest of the coast! And very happy our little pup was able to travel with us!!

    Every fall we head to the Sunshine Coast for a little break from the business of city life - this stay did not disappoint! We had several slow mornings with coffee, watched the stars from the hot tub, enjoyed a family movie night in the loft and endlessly explored the beach and beautiful trails around the area. The cabin is private an quiet, it worked well with two adults and our 12-year old, we hope to come back!

    The location is surrounded by forest, very private and extremely quiet. The private hot tub was great! The studio exceeded our expectations, and it just as nice in person as it is in the photos. We would definitely stay again!

    The location is great, easy to access, nice interior, and well-equipped. Only downside is the lack of coffee for enjoying a morning cup with the beautiful view

    Heather and Bob were very responsive and if you’re looking for the perfect little getaway this is your place. Nestled in the trees and quiet, close to the beach. Great location, highly recommend.

    Words cannot even express what a wonderful little dream escape this place was for us. It's modern and clean and embedded perfectly within nature. The design is beautiful. Our hosts Heather and Bob were top notch and got back to us immediately with any questions we had while we stayed. This place was so perfectly perfect that we want to make it an annual trip to get away. It was so perfect in fact, that my partner proposed while we were there! We will definitely be coming back here.
