Kin Ranch - A Peaceful Garden Oasis with Luxe Views
About this house rental
Nestled in Sechelt, this charming house for R 5,785 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Welcome to the Kin Ranch, a 4BR vacation getaway in a quiet upscale neighbourhood in West Sechelt. Experience the community-centred charm of a coastal village, with access to modern amenities including: a cultivated garden sprawling from the front of the property to the back, outdoor BBQ and cozy fire pit, expansive backyard and sundeck with outdoor dining furniture, fully equipped kitchen and cooking island & pantry room, pool table and leisure area. Got an itch to travel and wish to escape the hustle of a big city for the allure of a small town? The Kin Rancher is your travel relief and holiday sanctuary all year-round – a spacious, elegantly decorated house near the shore, it is perfect for a soul-soothing vacation with family and friends. THE VIEW • Witness the stunning gold sunrises, brilliantly orange sunsets, and spectacular panoramic view of the Strait of Georgia from your own living room. You'll be amazed at how the view transforms from hour to hour, as if you're admiring an oil painting that constantly changes with the stroke of time. • Large windows in the grand living area stretch from wall to wall, plus high vaulted ceilings with skylight windows invite an abundance of natural lighting into the open layout living space. • Stroll through the expansive lush garden, enriched with stonemasonry landscaping, a tranquil water fountain, groomed plants and garden decor, and manicured greenery extending across the grounds. • Relax on the backyard sundeck (extend the retractable canopy if it gets too hot) and enjoy your meals on the outside patio table on a warm day. Cozy up around the bonfire pit at night while roasting campfire s’mores as you stargaze or share vivid stories with one another. • Hang out at the front patio, where you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee/tea or a snack in the morning while you breathe in the fresh coastal air and unwind as you watch the glistening dewy greenery. THE FLOOR PLAN The grand living room boasts an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining space. You'll find a fully-equipped kitchen with a large island and pantry space for all your cooking needs – certainly a home cook or a professional chef’s dream. Whip up a meal and serve it on the large rosewood dining table, which comfortably seats 8-10 guests. Lay back and read your bucket list books, lounge around with good company, and indulge on drinks beside the indoor fireplace while you absorb the radiant sunlight and take in the scenic view of the ocean. The additional leisure area and pool table room downstairs is equipped with a large screen Smart TV where you can tune into the latest Netflix show, Chromecast your favorite movies, and more. If you’re looking to show-off (or "improve" if you’re humble) your hand-eye coordination and motor control skills, grab some cue sticks and challenge your friends and family to a snooker match. The large sectional doubles as a sofa bed. The master bedroom features a lavish king-sized bed coupled with a splendid view of the backyard garden, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a soaker bathtub. The second bedroom has two twin-sized beds - perfect for kids/teenagers who demand their own bed - with a separate bathroom directly in front. The third bedroom is located right next to the garden backyard and offers a gorgeous view of the back gardens. The fourth bedroom is located downstairs and has a queen-sized bed and a small work station. THE LOCATION Located 3 minute drive away from the calm beachfront located at Snickett Park, which offers unhindered views of the ocean as you walk alongside the coastline - this is an easy trail the whole family/group can enjoy. Also 3 minutes away from downtown Sechelt where you'll find local craft shops, restaurants, and hidden gems, and 9 minutes south of Porpoise Bay Park where you can take in all of nature at its full glory and enjoy water activities like canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding (rentals available nearby at Half-moon Sea Kayakes or Pedals and Paddles). If you prefer to go hiking along the trails beside Angus Creek, you might happen upon a few wildlife sightings of dolphins, waterfowl, and bald eagles, and more - the great Sunshine Coast outdoors is all at your footstep! *Longer term bookings available - please send an inquiry. THE PROPERTY - HOMEMAKER RESIDENCE We have a live-in homemaker / tenant living in the independent basement suite / garden suite. They will attend to all your needs if necessary, and will be living in the separate independent basement / garden suite, with separate entrances. They will not share your amenities (such as your laundry, kitchen, etc) within your Main Suite - you will have the entire Main Suite to yourself.

We were pleasantly surprised on size to accommodate 9 people! The set up was a bit odd with needing to put one child outside in the seperate suit (works if teenager)
The home was comfortable and bright! Great morning light to sit outside in.
Multiple pieces of furniture were broken (coffee table, pullout couch, grey arm chair)
Kitchen as easy to work in but lacked some equipment.
Overall it worked for our families and we worked through the hiccups.

Having separate bedrooms for all our married children plus a table big enough for all eight made this a win. Having two separate gathering areas was an added bonus. We loved discovering Seschelt!

We came to Kin Rancher to celebrate our mother/grandmother's 80th birthday (all our family gatherings have been cancelled over the past 2 years because of COVID, so we were really looking forward to this trip). The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 10 people (ranging in age from 12 to 80), and we loved the open concept kitchen/living area so we could all sit together for meals. It was warm enough to sit on the back deck in the afternoons (but a bit too early in the year to enjoy the outside spaces otherwise). Views were spectacular! A short 5-minute drive into Sechelt - we walked it once for the exercise, but not really do-able unless you like walking up & down hilly roads! Located in a newer subdivision so everything in the neighbourhood is very clean and well-maintained. Garren was very quick to respond to texts and there were no issues at all with checking in. We loved our stay here, and all agreed that we would definitely come again.

Awesome location and house very clean and wel kept with maintenance. Beautiful view, not far to all amenities.... only problem communication with the owner. Kid were cold in the house and we didn't have access to turn heat up in house. We messaged the owner but took long time to reply it was too late and we already getting up in the morning.
Also would be nice to have another television upstairs in the main living room area for kids to watch tv while we cook..
But overall an excellent place to stay with family and friends

We had a great week visiting family on the coast, and Garren was very fast to respond to the few questions we had. The garden is gorgeous and the view is incredible, with space for our extended family to visit. I would recommend stocking the kitchen to allow for more eating at home. We needed to borrow pots, pans, bowls, sharp knives, more cutlery, serving spoons, platters, tea towels for drying dishes etc, as we hosted quite a few dinners including Thanksgiving.

Loved the rental unit, we were 8 adults staying for 3 nights. The only complaint was there was no access to the bathroom downstairs area. Some better kitchen cooking utensils for the BBQ would have been nice but we made it work! It is a beautiful house, very comfortable for all of us!

We had a lovely vacation time in this home. The location was convenient and the yard well kept. Good amenities (tv, wifi and linens) The kitchen was lacking cutlery and cooking pots/utensils. We would have appreciated a binder with key information available for reference. The response time to messages was slow. Perhaps if the host can’t respond quickly, he could have property management do it for him.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a group of two families (10 people in total). Beautiful garden and yard. Beautiful home. Very clean and well- stocked amenities. Appliances were excellent and all in working order. Two great dining areas - indoors and the outdoor patio were great. Well organized recycling bins and garbage area. Convenient location (few minutes from Sechelt and few minutes from the beach). Beautiful neighbourhood. Very responsive host - Garren answered all my questions quickly !
