#slowtravel Canada~JOMO~Wood-fired Hot tub, Beach
Very lovely cabin with all the amenities! The views were amazing and it was a very cozy stay. They were very responsive to our inquiries and answered all our questions. Would recommend!

Sunshine Coast Cottage
We had an amazing stay at Danoosh’s place on the Sunshine Coast! From the start, Danoosh was a fantastic host—super responsive and always available on chat whenever we had a question. It made the whole experience really smooth and enjoyable. The house itself is beautiful—spacious, full of natural light thanks to the many windows, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The road access was great, making it really easy to get in and out, which we appreciated for our day trips around the coast. Overall, it was the perfect home base for our vacation. Highly recommend staying here if you’re planning a trip to the area!

Impeccable Summer Retreat!
Wonderful cottage just on the edge of Rathtrevor. We had friends camping in the park and we didn’t want to camp with a toddler so this was the perfect solution. Pet friendly, private, quiet. Cottage had everything you’d need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Had high chair, pack and play, baby gate. Would stay again!

Gibsons Beach House
Beautiful location that felt close to nature yet also walkable to amenities. The view at the table while you eat breakfast is very peaceful. There was an occupant of the lower unit with two young children running around, so be mindful that there will be some shared noises. The hot tub, view, ample space and location made this an peaceful retreat for my family without having to isolate them; you can walk a few minutes and still get a great cup of coffee.

Stunning View Home in Halfmoon Bay
What a beautiful, private and peaceful spot. Views are amazing. Spotlessly clean and the kitchen has everything you want. The deck is amazing and spacious, perfect for relaxing on a warm summer day. Would definitely recommend this lovely place.

Deep Bay Cottage
This is a fantastic quaint little beach cottage to enjoy the island's natural beauty. Easy access to fun on the water. The family really enjoyed the lawn sports items the hosts provided. Thank you!

Set a course for fun; stay in the Boathouse.
Absolutely tranquil visit to the boathouse! Has everything you need. Margaret was very friendly and attentive. Gorgeous place you have created, complete silence and away from the hustle of cities. We will be back, most definitley. Thanks so much margaret!

636 Beach Av Retreat Gibsons BC V0N1V9 H053977232
Alison’s place is old but spacious and well situated with a very nice view and a quiet neighborhood. The amount of utensils, pans, cutlery, plates, glasses etc. were far better than most Airbnb’s, plenty of everything. The washer and dryer were much appreciated. There is a TV but you need your own input device. That said I’d certainly stay there again.

Cottage 2: overlooking Silva Bay!
We had a great long weekend at Gloria’s cottage. The marina was beautiful to look over and the general store was convenient for basics. The staff were friendly and very helpful for recommendations around the island.

Mezzaluna - Cottage by the Sea
Beate's place was lovely. Very well cared for and tidy with a beautiful deck that overlooks the water. It was a quiet getaway - exactly what we had hoped for. Beate was very friendly, accommodating, and great instructions/communications. we would stay here again. Thanks for the great weekend Beate.

Comfortable cottage 1 bedroom + sofa bed in Bowser
The cottage had all the amenities that I would need during my stay. It was beautifully appointed and very clean. George even installed a grab bar by the toilet for me the next day that I was there. Loved the added treats of smoked salmon and cookies. Would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much George and Marion.

Cottage 3: secluded Cottage Overlooking Silva Bay
We really enjoyed our stay at Pages, the location was beautiful. We enjoyed renting kayaks and exploring the bay. The nearby park also had some great hiking trails and beach. The cabin had everything you needed and the wood burning stove was nice to have on the chilly nights. It is about 15 minutes to the amenities in town and the ferry so not the closest if that’s important to you but we thought their little store had most necessities and didn’t mind.

Estuary House @ Pasquill Patch
Our stay at Pasquale’s patch was perfect. The cottage was great- very clean, quiet, and close to many wonderful sites. My kids were sad to leave… hope to be back again.

The Mellow Yellow Cottage
Beautiful yard that looks exactly like the pictures. Felt at home and was left alone to enjoy it. There was a hose to wash bikes. Kids bedroom is right beside the living room and has curtains instead of a door, which is something to be aware of if you want to stay up later than the kids. Hosts were excellent - one of my kids forgot some clothes. Hosts found them and told us about them quickly and made arrangements for us to get them back. Overall a really nice place with helpful, courteous hosts. Going back - literally the next weekend and would be happy to stay there again.

The Stables, at Lost Shoe Ranch
We had a wonderful weekend getaway at this lovely house. The space was incredibly spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it the perfect escape from the city. The kitchen was impressively well-equipped, allowing us to cook a great dinner together. We enjoyed playing games and relaxing before having a truly restful night’s sleep. This house exceeded our expectations and made for an unforgettable weekend.

Beach House at Tanglewood, 3 Bedroom
We Loved our stay! House is beautiful and excellent location to explore all the sites. Lots of local tips provided by the owners too! Highly recommend!

Cozy Cottage
As always, super clean, comfortable, and peaceful. A great place to stay and Rachel is a great host.

Quaint cottage steps to the beach!
Great location. Super easy to walk into town. Back deck is good with large table, no real view of the water but a pleasant green backyard with lots of flowers and trees. Well stocked kitchen and nice linens. I do wish there was access to laundry but I would stay again.

Triangle Acre Cottage in Roberts Creek
Very comfy home, with a super cozy living room and bedrooms. Well stocked kitchen. Really beautiful backyard. The weather was cold and rainy during our stay, so this place was perfect to get comfy and enjoy a classic west coast winter. Keeping the wood fireplace going was a real treat, and something we looked for specifically in a place to stay. The property is just next to the highway, so I was worried about road noise, but with the windows closed I couldn’t hear it at all.

The Abode & Cedar Barrel Sauna in Robert's Creek
We had a lovely time in the Abode. We especially enjoyed the sauna out by the woods, and cooking in the kitchen. We walked from her place to the center of Roberts Creek for dinner at the Gumboot.

Quiet Country Farm Retreat
Nicole’s beautiful home was a wonderful and peaceful stay. It was such a relaxing place to come back to and a home away from home when I was working in the area for two Months. I had everything I could possibly need and the bed was so comfortable! I loved looking across the road at the Cows in the field and the visits from deer, bunnies and a very lovely Black Cat:) Nicole was so very friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything and I recommend this little piece of Paradise to anyone. We will be back!
