"We loved our stay. It was particularly nice that our dog was a welcome guest. The room was very comfortable, and we had the hot tub all to ourselves, as the other 2 guest rooms were empty. Our host was very helpful, and she provided a nice list of favourite local hikes / food / activities. We only wish that Madeira Park was more walkable. There are no pedestrian paths to the "downtown". Thank you for a wonderful stay! I just found out that my sister-in-law stayed there 4 years ago."

The Oceanside, a Coast Hotel

The Oceanside, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good
"The location is excellent, and our room had a beautiful ocean view. Unfortunately, our experience was affected by the ongoing sewer repair and construction work directly in front of our room. The unpleasant smell made it difficult to enjoy the balcony, and the construction noise was disruptive. To make matters worse, our room’s water supply was interrupted for approximately two hours. We suspect the construction may have accidentally damaged a water pipe, as the issue seemed to go unnoticed until the water stopped flowing. This happened just after we returned from a long hike, leaving us unable to use the bathroom or shower when we needed them most. We appreciate that the staff were apologetic, but we felt that offering only a bottle of hand sanitizer was inadequate given the inconvenience and discomfort we experienced. We believe some form of additional compensation would have been a more appropriate gesture. While the location and ocean view were great, the construction-related issues significantly affected our stay. We hope management will take this feedback seriously and consider how to better support guests when unexpected disruptions occur."

We were fortunate to have very clear skies at night and were able to see a sky full of stars and the milky way from the balcony. Walking distance to the Skookumchuck Narrows, Sechelt Rapids, trailhead. Highly recommend."

Painted Boat Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at Painted Boat Resort. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a two-bedroom unit, which was especially appreciated since we were travelling with our infant. Having the extra space made the stay so much easier. The view from our unit overlooking the marina was absolutely stunning. It was incredibly peaceful, which was perfect when we needed to let our baby nap. The unit itself was beautiful and had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, two bedrooms, and a loft. Our upgraded unit could comfortably accommodate up to eight people. You can tell some of the renovations and finishes are probably 15–20 years old, but everything was still very nicely maintained and felt comfortable and high quality. We especially appreciated having a full kitchen, which made travelling with a young child much more convenient. The location is a big part of the appeal. If you’re looking to get away from the city, relax, enjoy the marina, and spend time outdoors, it’s a beautiful place to stay. There are lots of hiking opportunities nearby. Once you get past Gibsons and Sechelt, though, there isn’t a whole lot to walk around and explore in terms of shops or restaurants, so it’s definitely more of a destination for enjoying nature and relaxing. We even heard that a grizzly bear and her three cubs had been spotted in the area during our stay, which was both really cool and a little terrifying!"
