THE PLACE

Meet me where the sky touches the sea ..

Sechelt’s Garden and Secret Beach Getaway is set within a relatively untouched, hidden, sandy gem on the Sunshine Coast.


PADDLE BOARD STEPS FROM YOUR DOOR or DOLCE FAR NIENTE!
Being so close to world-famous fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, scuba-diving, biking, hiking, golfing, swimming, boating and hiking, you can easily fill your days;

however, am never surprised if plans change to simply lounging in

one of a handful of hammocks or Adirondack chairs, 

sipping from glass or cup, wistfully watching the maple trees sway,

all the while diving deep into your favourite book - or one of mine.


CANADIAN, WITH A DECIDEDLY SEASIDE TWIST AND MAGICAL SUNSETS!
This authentic, cathedral rooftop “beach house”, boasts 2100 sq ft of interior space and offers one long-term rental option: the executive level.

 

North-west facing, with flowers, grasses, olives and panoramic tree-clad views; a window towards the magical, interlocking juts of land up Sechelt Inlet is also included. 

 

This beach house sits within its own snug enclave, on a no-through road, along the east side of this picturesque fjord known as Sechelt Inlet.
 

ISOLATE AND REJUVENATE!
It is only a two minute stroll, down this teeny, no-through road that

you release yourself, onto the secret inlet sandy beach. 

 

A very large, green forest of trees surrounds an almost landlocked sea, at the foot of a very large mountain.  Beauty is all around! It is perfect!

 

Rejuvenate here, with a truly natural, therapeutic, spa-lifting experience; health benefits abound, by the sea! And the sunsets have been known to be absolutely magical!


BETTER THAN A HOT TUB!
Imagine hanging in pristine, clear water with a dock close by, glorious sand at your feet, and camera in hand, capturing the end of a most beautiful day.

 

Count shooting stars and slowly shifting constellations as you float, all while you’re serenaded by crickets and hummingbirds, and maybe even a loon or two.

 

This is truly, a place to relax and unwind!
 

FERRY OR HARBOUR AIR!
A short 90 minute hop (ferry) and skip (drive) from Vancouver, and

you arrive at the very cute, laid-back, seaside village of Sechelt -

also described as land between two waters.

By the way, Harbour Air is the most direct 15 minute option!

Then it’s simply 5 minutes from this promenade-hugging, seaside village of Sechelt, and

you are here!

 

It’s the perfect mix of near and far.

Far enough from noisy Vancouver, and near enough

to one of many possible stunning day trips to explore!

 

Sechelt's Garden and Secret Beach Getaway is centrally located on

this area known as the Sunshine Coast;

8 minutes from the charming seaside village of Sechelt

25 minutes south is the famous town of Gibsons (shooting locale for the long-time series The Beachcombers) and 30 minutes north is Madeira Park close to the jumping off point to the world-famous fjord Princess Louisa Inlet.

 

This beach house is perfectly situated to experience

as much or as little of both worlds - of land or sea!
 

DISCOVER YOUR PERFECT C A L M!
It’s your holiday!

Celebrate with the attitude “ ... dolce di fare niente...” (italian for ‘the sweetness of doing nothing’)
 

Or excite your senses with the “ ... A D V E N T U R E starts here!”
 

How much or how little you do - is completely up to you!
 

CANADIAN WILDLIFE THRIVES!
Oh, and while you do, what you decide to do - do keep your eyes peeled - this inlet has experienced sightings of orcas, white-sided dolphin, sea lions, a paintbrush of tidal wildlife! .. as well as deer, Roosevelt elk, and more!

Photographing

With a diverse background which has traversed many breath-taking lands, and one which is grounded with a love for trekking, sailing, kayaking the wilds, scape & portrait photography, as well as software development, I am filled with gratitude to have finally found this place, and to call it home.
 

Am thrilled to have begun a journey of sharing my home with those who thrive around beach homes by the sea, like me!
 

My name is Doris, and am happy to be your Sechelt Garden & Secret Beach Getaway home landlord!
 

My mantra? Cherish every moment, and grow exponentially!
