GETTING HERE
Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.
By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.
YOUR HOSTS
We live on the property and are happy to help whenever you need us, while respecting your privacy. We're always just a message away, by phone or text.

Cedar Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, beachfront, hot tub

This is definitely the dream house. The kitchen is outstanding, include all high end appliances, variety of cutlery, all kinds of cooking/baking needs. The view is breathtaking, we saw dolphins on 2nd day. Sean and Jenny are super nice . Highly recommend their house to everyone.

Definitely the dream house

Immaculate suite, with high end finishings, gorgeous view, awesome oceanside areas to lounge, comfortable beds, and friendly hosts. Particularly loved the big island/table, lounging in the hot tub, and that it is dog friendly. Watched seals, sea lions and eagles. Powell River and area are nice, but this airbnb is a destination in itself. We hope to return with our paddle boards!

A destination in itself

Sean & Jenny are 5 star hosts. They've created such a wonderful paradise, and it's honestly one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. This is the best place to stay, right on the ocean, with so many great areas to sit and enjoy the view. The ocean water hot tub was such a cool idea. The home itself is so thoughtfully designed, everything is perfect. Thanks again!

5 star hosts

We stayed one night at the Cedar suite, which was enchanting! Beautiful and fully equipped for big families and long stays, it is impressive. Sitting by the fire after enjoying the hot tub and the sauna on the beach was sublime. Sean was super friendly and helpful. Thank you Sean 🙂

Enchanting!

Would highly recommend this beautiful suite. It was very spacious for a big group and the hot tub right on the ocean was something you don't find every where. Sean and Jenny were very accommodating and friendly. Was wonderful that we could bring our pups and the pet fee was reasonable. Thank you so much!!
