About this property

Exclusive 2-bdrm ocean & mountain view suite

This unique place has a style all its own. An incredible view of Howe Sound and the mountains. Watch the ferries go by in this sunny place. It is ideal for singles, couples, friends and families seeking a tranquil setting, looking for inspiration or reflective time. Lounge on the patio or practice some calming exercises on the large deck off the lower level and feel the stress melt away. Hear the owls at night while you watch the moon rise over the mountain and on clear nights you can stargaze.

Quiet, peaceful location with separate entrance and fenced yard. Howe Sound Retreat is a new quality suite located on a beautiful hill (please note: the road leading to the property is single lane, steep and curvy please drive with caution). If you are arriving by car we are a 5 minute drive from the ferry in Snug Cove with all its amenities (shops, galleries, cafes, and restaurants). If you are walking off the ferry, you can catch the bus 281 and ask the driver to drop you off at Highland Trail.

THE SUITE:

Howe Sound Retreat has a private self check-in entrance. From the parking area it is down a set of stairs with outdoor seating and overlooking the ocean and mountains. Inside, you will enjoy a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, oven, toaster, French press, dinnerware, pots & pans, etc.). The suite has two bedrooms and one bathroom

Master Bedroom: new high end, medium-firm queen bed, cabinet, standing lamp, closet and plenty of storage. There is enough room in the bedroom to fit a pack n` play if you come with a young child/infant. Equipped with fresh linens, duvet and pillows.

Second bedroom: new high end, medium-firm double bed with storage space and a desk lamp. Equipped with fresh linens, duvet and pillows

The suite gets a lot of morning sun, so we furnished the master bedroom window with curtains. They can also be open for clear views to the ocean.

We will send you a detailed message with check-in instructions on the day of your arrival as soon as your suite is ready. We will do our utmost best to check you in as early as possible. Guests have a private entryway to the suite with self check-in. You will be send a link for an app which gives you access to the suite.

Definitely paying for the view at this place. The couch was very worn down and stained, the tv wouldn't connect automatically so we needed to contact the host each time we wanted to use it, there were no baking pans despite having an oven, basic cleanliness was there but it needs a true cleaning, the outdoor couch was stained and dirty so we didn't feel comfortable sitting on it, no curtains in the living room (and the ones in the bedroom aren't wide enough to cover the whole window). You can definitely find better for the same price.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Aug 2026
We were very surprised to read this review, particularly as it does not reflect what was communicated to us during your stay. We welcome constructive feedback and always want to know if something isn’t right so that we have the opportunity to address it immediately. However, we also believe that a public review should be truthful, fair, and accurately reflect the overall experience and communication that took place during the stay. To clarify a few of the points mentioned in the review, there are two baking pans provided and they are stored together with the pots and pans. Regarding the outdoor couch on the lower deck, during your stay we experienced one of the biggest thunderstorms we have had in years. Naturally, outdoor furniture can become wet during such unusually severe weather. The same storm also caused the internet interruption, which is why you contacted us and we promptly assisted you with resetting the connection. There are intentionally no curtains in the living room because the suite overlooks the ocean and is located on its own completely private floor. No other guests or members of the public have access to this area or can see into the living room, allowing our guests to enjoy the beautiful ocean view and natural light in complete privacy. We always appreciate genuine feedback and are happy to address any concerns during a stay. We simply wish these concerns had been brought to our attention at the time so we could have discussed or resolved them immedia
