A little piece of paradise-waterfront cabin.

Experience coastal living in this tastefully renovated, 1000 sq. foot, rustic waterfront cabin just steps from your own private south facing coastal beach. The cabin itself is only a five minute drive from the ferry, but its seclusion will surprise you. With almost daily wildlife visits and no shortage of amenities, you will be immersed in the Pacific Temperate Rainforest without compromising comfort. Feel at home with complete privacy and simple comfort in this historic living space. The space The Sunshine Coast is a 40 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. A convenient vacation destination to discover your Sunshine Coast personality with magnificent access to year round activities, nearby restaurants, the public market and local shops. With breathtaking views of the Popham Islands in the foreground and Vancouver in the background, wake to the sounds of seals slapping in the water, birds singing and eagles calling. The natural surroundings are home to our resident deer and other wildlife who frequently visit the property on their way to the beach. Whales and Orcas make guest appearances, depending on the time of year. Sip an espresso or coffee from the CitiZ Limousine BlackStorm Nespresso machine and watch storms right from the warmth of the living room. You will be blown away. For the comfort of our guests, each room has its own baseboard heater with thermostat control, an electric fireplace, portable oil heater, portable fan, a dehumidifier to control humidity levels, and of course guests can open the windows for ocean and rain-forest-fresh air. Relax with a book on the day bed and look at the amazing view, free Wi-Fi, cable, watch TV on the flat-screen HDTV or walk 200 steps from the back yard, down the meandering forest trail (wear good shoes and the trail is difficult for some) and you will have the entire area to yourselves for suntanning, swimming or beach combing. The sun room provides a restful dining space overlooking one of the oldest Arbutus trees on the coast. At the end of the day have a soak in the tub, unwind in front of the cosy fireplace and enjoy dinner overlooking the water where the afternoon sun filters through 150 year old Coniferous trees and mature gardens. When you are ready to retreat to the bedroom you will be instantly relaxed by the calming sound of waves crashing on the beach. The owners home is a few metres above the cabin with mature shrubs for privacy. Expect complete solitude and a quiet stay. HISTORY Built in 1936 by Mr. Kelly himself, this cottage has many unique features. Cpt. William E. Kelly from the Isle of Mann. had civil and mechanical engineering degrees. Kelly Road was named after him. He was Weyerhauser's Superintendent in Washington in 1932. Walking down to the front door you will immediately notice a rugged garden landscape. Inside the beach chic designed cabin, the original Douglas fir flooring and panelling was restored. A Manx inscription on the arts and craft mantle describes his perspective about life on the Sunshine Coast. RESERVATIONS & PAYMENT We accept reservations through AirBNB on-line.
