About this house rental
The Heron Suite is a private studio for 2 adults (double bed, 1 bathroom, about 500 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Set slightly back from the beachfront for added privacy, with a partial ocean view and easy beach access. An ocean-fed hot tub is included, with a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.
This charming, cozy open-concept space features a kitchen, a living area and a fireplace for relaxed evenings together. Enjoy sunrise coffees or storm-watching from the shared sunset deck by the beach.
Perfect for romantic escapes, solo wellness retreats, or as an add-on suite for wedding groups.
ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each, and thoughtfully designed to offer both privacy and community. Explore kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries and browse artisan markets. Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.
THE SUITES
Hemlock Suite (upper level): sleeps 6
Sitka Suite (upper level): sleeps 6
Cedar Suite (lower level): sleeps 6
Heron Suite (studio): sleeps 2 adults
AMENITIES Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat's outdoor amenities, including the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola and two fire pits.
Oceanfront hot tub: included with your stay, booked by appointment. Adults only.
Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.
Tesla Level 2 EV charger (240V): available for a fee. It has a Tesla (NACS) connector, so non-Tesla vehicles need their own adapter. We don't provide one.
Outdoor shower and invigorating cold bucket splash, or take a plunge in the ocean.
Advance booking through our website is required for the hot tub, sauna and EV charger, to ensure availability and privacy.
GOOD TO KNOW
Heron is for 2 adults only. Families with children are welcome in our Sitka Suite.
Pet friendly, with a $60 pet fee to cover extra cleaning. Please note the property is not fenced.
Free parking on the property, in front of the suites.
The beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.
Streaming: Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix and Apple TV+.
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.

Beautiful oceanfront property with spectacular views. The Heron suite was well equipped for the two of us and our dog. Is great for those seeking a private and quiet place to stay. The owners are great. Communication was excellent. Made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

This spot is lovely and cozy with tons of cozy touches. We loved the wood burning stove and the cabin itself is thoughtfully appointed. We enjoyed the cedar tub and our pup loved the beach. The hosts were excellent with timely updates when en route and answered our questions quickly and friendly. We are already talking about returning later in the year and can’t wait.
