About this property

The Aerie- A Glazed Modern Treehouse

Private and peaceful, the Aerie is perched on the edge of a moss and lichen-covered bluff in the open arbutus and fir tree canopy offering intimate views of the surrounding forest as well as the rugged coast.

Eagles chitter from atop centuries old trees and seals and otters frolic among the islets below. A short path brings you to the driftwood strewn beach for a more intimate view of the ocean and chance to explore a small stretch of rocky shoreline.

FEATURES OF THE AERIE:

A graceful butterfly roofline and sweeping expanses of glass blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces in this new modern treehouse which reflects a contemporary twist on traditional typologies, especially corrugated metal boat sheds and cedar clad cottages. (sleeps 2-4)

Anchoring a modern kitchen, the 10 ft. granite island serves as a gathering spot in the open living area.

The master bedroom and ensuite enjoy private forest views. A queen sized bed and rainshower refresh.

Cleverly designed niches offer sitting, working and sleeping areas for extra guests.

An additional bathroom with a comfortable deep tub adds convenience for families.

Large deck wraps around the south corner for beautiful ocean views and al fresco dining. Private patio to the rear includes a hot tub and private lounging area.

THE PROPERTY

The five acre waterfront estate includes the Pointhouse, Aerie and new Studio ISO constructed from 2 shipping containers, as well as 260 feet of low bank oceanfront commanding a sunny point with a private beach. The Pointhouse operates mainly as a B&B for guests who want a little more pampering and wish to be directly at the waters edge. It can also be booked for vacations or small private events such as intimate weddings, family reunions, birthdays.., with or without the Aerie or Studio ISO.

Studio ISO offers space for art, massage, exercise as well as guest accommodations. It can be booked separately or with the Aerie for larger family/friend groups that want individual private spaces to retreat to.

The estate property includes a dedicated beach trail to access the waterfront for beachcombing, kayaking, SUP or swimming. We also have a mooring buoy in the bay for temporary overnight anchorage for B&B guests or guests renting out the whole Pointhouse. Extra charges may apply for moorage.
Other property features include natural forest, gardens, firepits, viewpoints and a new Lido Spa with oceanfront sauna, cold plunge, lido and spa gardens. New spa will include zen studio for massage, yoga, spa treatments or meditation. Additional charges will apply for Aerie guests. Check availability ahead of time.

If the waterfront amenities are not available, the beach at Sargeant Bay is a short walk or drive away. It is sandy at low tide much more expansive and very nice for swimming. There is amazing kayaking in Halfmoon Bay, Gibsons and the Inlet and kayaks are easily rented in those areas.

The location is very central to all that the Sunshine Coast offers -Restaurants, galleries, hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, golf, tennis, and more. Ten Minutes to Sechelt - 30 minutes to either Pender Harbor or Gisbons. Easy access to Vancouver Island, Vancouver or Whistler by ferry or float plane. The only problem with planning to explore the Coast is -You won't ever want to leave the property!

Perfect for a romantic getaway, a relaxing family vacation, small weddings or meetings, a week of sun and water sports with friends, or cosying up by the fire to watch the winter storms.

The property was stunning. Really convenient location that is both private and feels really immersed in nature. The place was immaculately clean. We had an incredibly relaxing stay and enjoyed the hot tub daily.Already looking forward to staying again in the future!

Stayed for a long weekend

The place was fantastic and nicely finished with modern amenities. The house is located in a quiet and secluded area, and makes for a nice "getaway" from the city. We stayed up in Halfmoon Bay to attend a wedding and this worked out perfectly. The amenities allowed us to prepare meals easily and then sit, relax and enjoy the view outside. It's close to the beach and nature if one wishes to go for a walk. My dog also enjoyed his time there too.

Beautiful house in a beautiful surrounding

We would go back there anytime if there was another bed - we had problems as the mattress was small and far too soft (old?). The kitchen and all the other facilities were wonderful - (apart from the washing machine in the laundry, which was really filthy)

Stunning guesthouse on Sargeant Bay

Our week long stay at the Aerie guesthouse was very relaxing. The cottage has great architecture and many amenities you would expect. The location is in a beautiful setting surrounded by trees and you can hear bird-song from almost every window. We were able to explore much of the coast, kayaking, hiking and beach-combing. We enjoyed the hot-tub nearly twice a day. There were a few things that detracted from our stay, however: First, construction is occurring both on the property (~100' away), and to the east of the property (~200' away) where several acres are in the process of having home sites developed. The noise was not disturbing, but it detracted from an otherwise serene experience. Second, the number of satellite channels offered was limited - a higher-end system with basic content. Lastly, communication with the owner was lacking: there was no response to our text the day of our arrival. There were no arrival instructions, and we had to place a call to unlock the front door. Although we appreciated the privacy granted to us by the owners, we had the impression we were renting from them, rather than being hosted, as guests. We would definitely consider staying here in the future.

Relaxing stay

This property is very accurate from the description and pictures. The Aerie house and property is even more beautiful in person. The house was very clean and well equipped for our stay. Communication with hosts was fast and easy. They were able to make many recommendations for area hikes and restaurants, though we mostly ate in. Staying at The Aerie made our anniversary extra special.

A perfect spot

My wife and I stayed at the Aerie for a week of hiking and paddling, and it could not have been better. The property is beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained. In particular, the glassed-in bedroom gives one the feeling of waking up in the world's most comfortable tent as the chipmunks and juncos play outside. Heather and Bob were helpful and friendly--we can't wait to come back!

Beautiful and relaxing vacation property

We had an excellent stay at the Aerie. The property is close enough to Sechelt but remote enough to enjoy the trees and see the stars at night. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. It was great to relax in the hot tub after a day out hiking and the wood burning fireplace was a nice treat.

Perfect location!

Have never been to the Sunshine Coast, the Aerie was perfectly situated for us to explore the region. The property had all the amenities (and more!) that we wanted and it was a short walk to the water, which the dogs enjoyed. Bob was very quick to respond to our questions/requests. We have already recommend this stay to several family/friends!

The perfect getaway

We had a lovely weekend with our two young children (5 and 7) staying in the Aerie and soaking up all of the amazing natural surroundings through the many wonderful windows and views this home was designed with. A 2-3 min walk to two different beaches gave us lots of options for getting out and exploring. The house has everything you need. A beautiful kitchen to cook in. We had a minor mechanical problem but the hosts were quick to respond and accommodating. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and would visit again.

Relaxed and Happy

Staying here was all about making memories. The house was beautifully situated and had all the elements to making a great vacation . Heather and Bob created a space where nature surrounds you and allows you to just relax. They also had all the kitchen supplies you need to just enjoy cooking. The most I’ve ever seen in an Vrbo home. Clean, comfortable and relaxing:) We were two couples and had enough room for all of us to spread out on the property. The hot tub was a bonus feature during the winter nights as was the fireplace! I can’t recommend Heather and Bob’s property enough:)
