Room and bed was very comfortable, slept like a baby after a very long flight to NZ. Only 5 min walk to the beach, great for a quick dip. Parking is on the road outside. ##### Will Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Morgan Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Shareen is an absolutely lovely host, kind & considerate & helpful. The home is gorgeous, and walkable to the ocean/beachfront which we loved. Very comfortable accommodations. The one less desirable aspect is that it's a B&B, and you would expect a decent breakfast. But The Bays breakfast option is toast & jams, some cereals, maybe a yogurt variety. Would have been nice to have a more rounded breakfast (eggs, fruits, juices for example) , especially when you choose a B&B specifically for the meal part. ##### Morgan Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah Mar 24, 2024 The owner Shareen was kind and hospitable. She made the stay warm and friendly. Each day she had baked something delicious for breakfast (pancakes, focaccia, muffins) which was a lovely thought. The location is excellent enabling a quick walk down to restaurants, cafes and the beachfront promenade. Highly recommended ##### Deborah Stayed 11 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JW Marriott Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Auckland.h447796.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Laval Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Sheraton-Laval-Hotel.h2648.Hotel-Information) > > [JOIA Paraíso by Iberostar - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Iberostar-Grand-Paraiso-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h2802472.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Manitoba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Manitoba-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d11148-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Espresso Montreal Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Espresso-Montreal-Downtown.h16977.Hotel-Information) > > [YMCA Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-YMCA-Hostel.h4927097.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Sofitel-Auckland-Viaduct-Harbour.h1665023.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Suites Scottsdale Gainey Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Sonesta-Suites-Scottsdale-Gainey-Ranch.h200705.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cabins.d11178-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Auckland.h21512065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cinque Terre National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Cinque-Terre-National-Park-Hotels.d180063.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [M Social Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-M-Social-Auckland.h5465.Hotel-Information) > > [Park MGM Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Park-MGM-Las-Vegas.h58201.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Natura Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Morelos-Hotels-Dreams-Natura-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h36776874.Hotel-Information) > > [Adina Citylife Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-CityLife-Auckland.h70091.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in White Plains](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Plains-Hotels.d603214.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Pilgrm Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Pilgrm-Hotel.h69775397.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Jammu (IXJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/ixj/delhi-to-jammu) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Chilliwack (YCW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ycw/edmonton-to-chilliwack) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/hnl/vancouver-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Terrace (YXT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yxt/kelowna-to-terrace) > > [Flights from Minneapolis (MSP) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msp/mco/minneapolis-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ylw/edmonton-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyt/victoria-to-st-johns) ### Cars ### Packages > [Las Vegas Strip Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip.d800045.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
