Perfect location, walk 5 mins to a beautiful beach. Building is old but room is good sized, and full kitchen with everything I need. trumpling in the garden for kids play. Very nice owner.
The fire alarm was a bit noisy. It started many time while I cooked.

Great stay for our family of 7, 3 generations, in the top 3 bedroom suite. Fully equipped kitchen, large rooms, beautiful deck over looking the ocean. We loved the hanging king size bed/day bed on the deck, and we stay in it for hours reading/web surfing listing to the ocean waves.
1 block away from a fantastic beach with large stretch of sand during low tide. Great swimming spot.
Mr. Higgins / Rob is warm, courteous, goes out of his way to accommodate us. Our youngest enjoyed playing with the dog and feeding the fish and cats.
Laundry on site can be used by guests. This is our second year. Love this inn for our family.

Location is perfect, close to the beach, kitchen is very well equipped. Will come back for sure. Very dog friendly.
A small garbage bin in the bathroom would have been nice. But not a big deal.

The property was clean & had a wood stove which they kept us stocked up with wood. It’s located a short distance from the beach which was awesome for walks. The views are amazing.

When we arrived, the landlord was out but left personalised instructions on how to access our suite. Very nice touch.
Better cooking utensils ie. sharp kitchen knives.

3.5 / 5.0
The location was great. Just a short walk to the beach. Very quiet (except for my children). The innkeeper and his family were nice and friendly. They also had a big shaggy, teddy bear of a dog. The unit was clean and well stocked. The small city of Powell River was 10-15 minutes away with all the stores you might need. I got the tidal waters fishing license before the trip specifically for clam digging. I couldn't find the right clams but I am a novice and I did find oysters, happily. The waters are shallow but cold. There's the Palm Beach Park just 5 minutes south if you want warmer waters.
I received a one bedroom with a extra large double (king) bed and a single (twin) in the living room. There is also a double recliner and a single recliner in the living room. I also received a single (twin) air mattress on the floor. I was not thrilled because the Booking.com listing said there would be a bedroom with a extra large bed, a bunk bed and a futon (the futon was in the description). My senior parents got the bedroom and my eldest got the single. The double recliner was a bit difficult for my middle child to sleep on (they're a small kid and couldn't really get it to stay in the position of they wanted). I ended up with the smallest child and the air mattress on the floor. I am not a small person. Maybe I could've relegated one of the kids to the floor mattress but it was placed in a small hallway in front of the backdoor of the unit and I felt better placing myself there.

The host family was lovely and it was spotless.
It cost too much for the age of the rooms and location.
5.0 / 5.0
The whole property. The place, the house itself, the environment, the people, the view pretty much everything!
4.5 / 5.0
If you are looking for a quiet location with a short drive into town this is a great property. Owner is friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable apartments with a view of the ocean a block away.
