About this apartment rental
The Poolside Suite, which is on the lower floor of the main house, where we live, is very spacious and has its own private entrance, patio, and secluded terrace leading to the pool area. The pool area is shared with the Carriage House, also listed on this site number 151470 and occasionally no more than 2 Airstream guests. We have a seasonally heated saltwater pool and lawned area with a badminton/volleyball net, both shared with the Carriage House also listed on this site.
The price is based on number of guests. The suite has one queen bedroom, day bed for 2nd guest situated in a separate room and 2nd bedroom has two twin beds available to 3rd and 4th. Should the second guest wish to use the second bedroom then we do charge extra, but with our day bed in a separate room, it should not be necessary.
The kitchen has a microwave, countertop convection oven, two-plate hob, breakfast bar, fridge and freezer, crockery, coffee maker, and kettle, where you can enjoy preparing a meal whilst keeping your eye on your little ones, watching TV or socializing with your accompanying guests.
The pool table is an extra bonus available to those guests with no accompanying children.
We have a barbecue
on the private patio, pictures of all can be viewed under photos. I adore gardening so there is an abundance of hanging baskets and climbing plants on the terrace to be enjoyed including grapevines.
We welcome children of all ages, however, for longer stays, for large families or those with several very young children we recommend our 2-bedroomed Carriage Houser also advertised on this site, which
has a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer-dryer, and private gardens.
For the security of all our guests, we only allow registered guests onto the property so rest assured there will always be a spot for you by the pool.

4 of us stayed for 2 nights at the end of a two week road trip. My grandson summed up our stay by saying: "I wish we had spent our whole vacation here."
Gillian met us as we arrived and seemed genuinely happy to see us.
The pictures, while accurate, do not do the place justice. Little knick-knacks and decorations abound, the beds and furniture are very comfortable and we had all the space we could desire. The kitchen was well stocked with more than enough flatware, cutlery, coffee, tea and spices. The pool area was perfect for a lazy afternoon in the sun.
The only potential downside is that it is at the top of a hill and you will need to drive to the waterfront and downtown area.
My only regret is that we could not stay longer and I can only give it 5 stars.

My travelling partner and I had a wonderful time at this property! From the welcome snack and sparkling beverage, to the spacious suite, to the pool table, to the incredible outdoor pool, it was an oasis of peace that we were both looking for! Gill was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be a repeat guest :)

We had a lovely stay at Poolside Suite and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The suite was very comfortable and the kids loved the pool. It is a great area to stay within to enjoy the Okanagan Valley and we would recommend the suite.

Clean, hospitable stay, pool was a great feature. Only thing I would say you could add that would be handy would be an ice machine. Thanks for the great stay would come back again!

Really nice place, clean, everything you would need is available. The pool is great, perfect to keep kids entertained, there are lots of toys and games on the property too. Hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome. They even left us a gift basket with some toys/baby essentials for our daughter which was very thoughtful

My family had such an amazing time at this lovely place. The suite is very cozy, clean and had everything we needed for our stay and more. The swimming pool was the highlight in this lovely home. After a tiring day roaming around Peachland and Kelowna we would finish up our day with a swim at the pool. Anyway Gill was an awesome host have us so much privacy and when we needed battery for the tv remote and extra towels it was instantly delivered at our doorstep. Very nice indeed and we would love to comeback again.

Wine Tour Home Base
We did our own wine tour and used this property as our home base. Was very nice to come home each day to a quiet relaxing spot. The pool was great to cool off in and then suntan in the deck loungers around the pool. We would recommend this property.

Basement suite on a beautiful property
Gil makes every effort to welcome you and make your stay comfortable. We were surprised that the poolside suite was actually in the basement of the owner's home (other options on this property are separate). This created difficulties as the noise (which was definitely not excessive) was disturbing to the very light sleepers in our family. The owner was responsive to suggestions that this be clarified in the advertisement of the unit, as she wants everyone to be happy with their stay. Kitchen facilities are very limited (hot plate, mini fridge) and there are many rules about use of things within the suite. No amenities included (i.e., shampoo, soap, etc) which is uncommon to similarly priced properties we stayed at during our trip.
Beautiful pool and outdoor area.

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing
We loved our stay at the Carriage House. The location is within a very short drive of everything and so quiet. It was clean and had everything we needed. We were able to make use of the pool and soaked up some sun. We visited Parrot Island and the Hainle Winery as well as picked up some yummy jam from the neighbors at the Farmers Market. Gill was so sweet and friendly. We felt very much at home and hope to stay again sometime. Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality.

GREAT FAMILY STAY
We were very comfortable and Gill was a wonderful host. This is a spacious suite and a perfect location in the Okanagan, central to all the beaches and wineries you can visit! A bonus is the pool. The kitchen area is small but we had everything we needed and it works well with the grill just outside.

Great accomodation for families with small kids
We, a family of four ( kids 3 and 4 yrs old) had a great time at the poolside retreat.
The cottage is very family friendly equipped w/ booster seat, pack n play, kids room w toys and books, outdoor badminton net and obviously the pool.
If you are going, make sure to buy some homemade jam from Casper's Corner next door.
Many thanks to Gill and Ray for their great hospitality.
We hope to be back soon :)

Quiet and private accommodation.
My wife and I stayed at the poolside retreat for two nights. This area of BC has so much to do, you need more than two nights. The weather was very hot, so we full advantage of the swimming pool. The neighborhood is quiet and evening walks were very nice in this rural setting. Okanagan Lake is right down the hill, as are great little restaurants and numerous wineries are within a 10 minute drive. Great little place, we would highly reccommend it.

Private & Comfortable
This proved to be an excellent home to return to each night as my Mother and I explored the Okanagan Valley from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos over the course of a week in May. Quiet, roomy and all the comforts of home. Gillian keeps the property very clean and beautiful with flower gardens everywhere. Great pool and deck. Exactly as described and pictured. We had a lovely time and will definitely book again.

Poolside Retreat Carriage House
We were 2 couples and one single - plenty of room for all. We very much enjoyed the pool and cottage - clean and spacious with all the amenities of home. Very peaceful and private. Highly recommend to those wishing to enjoy Peachland, but get away from the crowds. The owners are interesting, friendly and non-intrusive.

Another Paradise Getaway in Poolside Retreat.
We just returned from a week stay at Poolside Retreat. This was our 3rd visit and fist stay at Carriage House. This is a little paradise surrounded by green hills and just a minutes of drive from the Peachland's beach avenue. The place has everything you need and beautiful surroundings. The accomodations is 5 star, great pool, the only place I feel like home. Cleanest bed sheets, towels, kitchen utencils. Lot's of space and beatiful gardens. We traveled with 2 years old toddler and she loves the place. Everytime we go the owner brings in bunch of toys for her to play, which is great and I don't need to bring over her toys with me from home. It is a paradise getaway no matter ou travel with kids or alone.Highly recommend and will retun next summer again hopefully!

Poolside suite lovely, affordable spot for a family
Our family of five (3 children under age 7) stayed for a week in the Poolside Suite. The suite is located in the daylight basement of the owners' home (Carriage House is a separate building) but has a private entrance and even has a view of the mountains. Our favorite things about the rental were the pool and the location. We loved being out in the countryside but still so close to town. We were able to bike around the area including to the Trepanier Bench Greenway and the Parrot Sanctuary, which were both a lot of fun. We swam every afternoon in the pool which our kids absolutely loved. The grounds are beautifully kept as well. The owners provided toys and books for our kids which was a nice touch. The Poolside Suite has a very small kitchen but we made it work. For such a tiny kitchen it is very well stocked. There are no indoor cooking facilities apart from the microwave and toaster but the grill has a burner so we were able to make a few dinners that way.
We really appreciated all Gillian's recommendations for what to do in the area.
While the Poolside Suite is quite spacious the layout of the furnishings was a bit strange for us. When you first walk into the large living area there is only a pool table, with a sign not to put anything on it (it has a cover), making that room essentially dead space. There is no other furniture near the front door so we ended up with lots of big piles of stuff all over the floor. Because we have small children a pool table wasn't useful to us and, for our family, a different use of that space (more living area) would have been preferential, as well as some kind of coat stands and/ or shelves/ tables for organizing all our stuff. The living room is beyond the pool table and is quite small but was adequate. There is another open space outside the two bedrooms but it also seemed like wasted space. That room contains only a desk and a sofa bed. It could be a lovely library/ seating area but is mostly unfurnished right now.
Overall we really enjoyed staying at the Poolside Suite and found it a lovely, comfortable spot for our family at an affordable price for the area.
