- "Stayed with our two young children. This rental is within walking distance of the lower Gibsons village and multiple beaches. Very quiet. Excellent fresh seafood at the market and great coffee shops. Highly recommend!" - "We had a lovely stay at this property. It was perfect for a 2-night getaway. Overall the space is clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. One thing we wish this property could improve on is the size of the TV. It felt awkward for us to sit on the couch from a distance to watch a movie from a small screen. "

This beautiful 2 bedroom southwest facing cottage in front of the ocean is west coast living at it's finest.

The interior of the cottage has an open plan with vaulted ceilings, along with an air tight wood burning stove. It also contains a Viking gas stove/oven and stainless steel appliances. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and there's a minimal modern yet cozy feel to the overall space. We wanted it to be less cluttered and simple so guests can feel comfortable using the space with their personal things. Please keep in mind that very minor scuffs and bruises are apparent but let's just say it adds to the charm.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the main floor of the cottage (downstairs is storage that is accessed by owner seldomly), barbecue, the large deck, the long ocean side esplanade (which is excellent for walking), Bonnie Brook beach which is right outside the front door, and countless trails and hikes in the area.

There is firewood at the back of the cottage (please make sure there isn't a fire ban before lighting a fire in the wood stove or using the barbecue - fire bans have been in effect every summer for the past three summers). Please turn propane tank off when finished with the barbecue. : )
