First, the quaintness of the front of the place I loved! The manager was very accommodating and friendly 😁 we booked for one night then stayed one more before we went back to the mainland…the room was perfect for us and the view of the Georgia Strait ocean was stellar!!! We like to whale watch and I being from the States wanted to watch the Super Bowl! It was a room with a view absolutely perfect for us! Thank you Buena Vista by the Sea from room 105…❤️ The pic of the Premiere Room on the website is for real 🤩

The best part is we were able to watch the northern lights from the comfort of the backyard!! Sparkling clean room with a beautiful beach view. Kitchen was very well equipped, internet was perfect for 2 people working remotely. The little garden was in pristine condition, and we enjoyed the quick access to the beach. Several great restaurants nearby.

Beautiful room with a great balcony and kitchen. There is a large shared deck and garden overlooking the ocean. Great location if looking to enjoy the beach, and within walking distance of a few restaurants.
