Summertime at the Starlight
Upon our arrival we were greeted by the owner himself who gave us a tour of the house and property. He was very welcoming and eager to ensure our stay at the Starlight was enjoyable. The house had a fresh pot of summer flowers as well as a plate full of chocolates for all to enjoy. The house was spacious with ample room for our large group. We had plenty of sleep space as well as gathering space for evening game nights! The upgraded kitchen and appliances allowed us to feed the brood who chose to spend most of their time outdoors. And why not!? With a gorgeous private sand beach, lounge chairs and a view that cannot be beat! It was the perfect way to cool off in the summer sun. The deck area also deserves mention as it was perfectly shaded, with a hot tub and high end grill. We often ate outdoors overlooking the lake. A relaxed beach getaway in the mountains, who could ask for more? The town of Nelson was minutes away and offered surprisingly good shopping and entertainment. We hiked, rented kayaks & paddle boards, went to the escape rooms, and white water rafted! With many more activities to offer, we’ll need to come back to try them all.

best ever vacation
Finding a vac property on Kootnay Lake, 5 minutes out nelson for an extended family of 9 was exactly what we were looking for —The property not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Enough room to give everyone much needed private space, including 2 working from home members. 200 feet of private beach instead of 100 posted on site Property manager very accommodating Access to owner much appreciated Hottub got a lot of use My 4 grandkids ( aged 7 to 13 )rated the vacation as best ever — the property was one of the reasons — boating, jet skiing, hiking, cliff diving, jumping off rope swing into slocan river current, river tubing thru #1 & #2 rated white water currents were some other reasons.

Outstanding place to stay!
One of the most beautiful locations on Earth! The Starlight was perfect! Just what we wanted! Everything was wonderful - we appreciated the private beach, the spectacular lake and mountain views from the three decks, the wonderful jacuzzi on the deck overlooking the lake, and the sauna. We found the STARLIGHT super clean, cozy, and comfortable and enjoyed the wonderful living room, the five spacious bedrooms, the fully equipped kitchen, and all the furniture. We highly recommend the STARLIGHT BEACH HOUSE for a wonderful family vacation.

Amazing place to stay!
The STARLIGHT BEACH HOUSE is incredible and the views are fantastic! We would definitely recommend this property to others, and would stay there again next time we're in the area. It’s a beautiful and inviting home with hardwood floors, a spacious kitchen with granite counter tops and all amenities, five beautiful bedrooms and a wonderful living area. The Starlight has a super nice deck where we soaked in the jacuzzi and watched the sun set over the mountains and sipped our wine while watching the starry night sky. The sky was super clear and we could see the constellations. We also enjoyed swimming in Kootenay Lake on the private beach at the Starlight. We arrived to find the home super clean and enjoyed the beds which were super comfortable. There is even a sauna in the third bathroom which we totally enjoyed. We love the Starlight.

Disappointed!
Unfortunately the place was filled with the smell of skunk the entire time we were there. We tried to cover vents but to no avail! We had several uninvited guests at night, mice were around in the evening and seemed to be hiding out in the vents. A very old house which is showing it's wear and very little on the upkeep of the property, which is too bad, as it's a great location and beach for the kids. Very smoky this year in Nelson unfortunately.

Loved the private beach, hot tub, and proximity to Nelson!
This is a great house for families with kids and pets - lots of room for everyone to spread out (5 bedrooms, all with queens, and one with an additional loft), beautiful view of the lake from the living room, 3 decks, and hot tub. Perfect (and safe) private beach for swimming in the lake right out the back door. Very close to Nelson (a 5 or so minute drive), which is a super fun and cute town. The house is a bit beat up/old, but that makes it easy to relax and not worry about much. The hot tub was a bit dirty and cold when we arrived - needed to call maintenance and then flip the basement breaker in the morning to reheat the tub which is apparently common - meant we could not soak the first day, but it was ready by evening. Other than that, it was a fabulous week. We would definitely return.

Prime location, beautiful/large beach area, and the house provides more than enough room for 9..
We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this property again. It is located close enough to Nelson for quick access to supplies but far enough away to avoid the common city nuisances. Our group consisted of 9 people (6 adults and 3 infants) and we had more than enough room.
