About this property
Hemlock Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, oceanfront, hot tub
The Hemlock Suite is a private, top-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront suite (1 king, 2 queens; about 1,100 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Sleeps 6, with an ocean-fed hot tub included and a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.
From the moment you step inside, you'll feel at home in this thoughtfully designed space. With a full kitchen, spacious living areas and fireplaces for cozy evenings, Hemlock promises a relaxing stay for you and your companions.
Set on 1.2 acres of lush greenery, with stunning ocean views and the snow-capped mountains of Vancouver Island as your backdrop, Hemlock offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.
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. 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 beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.

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.

We had a great time. The property was the best equipped we have stayed in. quality beds and linens, really comfy. Great ocean outlook with a beach side hot tub (that actually worked).
Will recommend this property to all our friends.
If you are looking for a quiet getaway on the water, this is it. Our family took up the whole compound, all 4 units and we had the best time. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The weather couldn’t have been better. Lots of bald eagles and deer
We cannot say enough good things about Arbutus Cove Resort. The Hemlock Suite had amazing views of the bay, islands and snow capped mountains on Vancouver Island. There was a rocky beach with a hot tub and sun deck right in front. The space was skillfully designed and well-appointed. We watched humpback whales and seals from the expansive deck. We will definitely stay again!
We three ladies of a certain age wanted a place where we could relax and work on sewing projects.
This house fit the bill perfectly. Very clean, comfortable and with every modern appliance that one could want.
The view was spectacular and it was just warm enough to sit on the deck for happy hour.
We loved it! Thank you, Jennifer.
A wonderful location, overlooking the ocean. The suite was spacious, artfully furnished and decorated, with a remarkably well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and many thoughtful touches. We loved sitting out on the deck watching for whales, and hearing them late at night out on the water. The salt water hot tub on the beach was a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. The hosts Sean and Jenny were helpful and responsive. We’d definitely recommend a stay at this little gem on the coast.
We have just had a most enjoyable stay at Sean and Jennifer’s beautiful property. Lovely hosts who pay attention to all the details.
Quiet, beautiful, water views from the entire back side of the house and expansive deck. Morning coffee and evening sips of wine-lovely!
Kitchen is well equipped. Beds and linens comfortable and good quality.
We are sure to stay again one day. Thank you for sharing your home with travellers!
This is one of the best properties we have stayed at. It is a lovely and efficient home with a very well-equipped kitchen in a gorgeous setting. One wants for nothing there. I think I can safely say that the owners have thought of everything. One does need a car to get around as there is much to do in the area. Powell River has some very good restaurants. Thank you, Sean and Jenny, for a lovely stay! Karen
Our family had an absolutely delightful experience during our stay at this VRBO property. The stunning ocean views from the deck were simply mesmerizing, and we felt incredibly fortunate to have witnessed humpback whales feeding and leaping out of the water on both days of our visit. The property itself, along with the house, was exceptionally well-appointed, ensuring our utmost comfort throughout our stay. The hosts were exceptionally gracious, further enhancing our overall enjoyment, and we are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to book this VRBO again for future vacations.
Sean and Jenny’s place is incredible and hands down the best property we’ve ever stayed in. Amazing views, really well equipped for cooking, comfortable beds, and direct access to the water. We really appreciated being able to use their paddle boards and kayaks, loved going from the ocean to the hot tub and back, and throughly enjoyed lounging on the Muskoka chairs to soak up the sun and watch the sunsets. Seeing whales (so many whales!), seals, and sea lions from the patio was a definite highlight, but more than anything being in a space that was so thoughtfully designed and outfitted with everything we needed made the week so easy and relaxing.
Great location. Perfectly clean. Quiet and private.
Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We are already planning our next trip back!
We booked three nights while attending my sister's wedding in Lund - where we grew up. This was the perfect little place for us as we came/went to enjoy wedding events. Highlights: Quiet & private with the lovely ocean breeze. We enjoyed coffee and champagne on the balcony. Those sunrises & sunsets are a dream. Our little pooches enjoyed their morning beach strolls... We also loved arriving to soft music playing & sparkling wine at our doorstep. The owners were available as needed. The property is beautifully furnished & the beds are cozy/comfy. Our six-and-a-half year old daughter was sad to depart - she loved her stay as well. Thank you, S&J.
One of the nicest holiday homes I have ever stayed in. I will definitely be back!

The host are very friendly and they did a pretty good job of providing everything we needed. Great place to stay, hoping to make it back there someday.
We’ve stayed in pretty much every rental accommodation in the Powell River area, and this was by far the best! Amazing views, great location, and especially the quality of the rental itself are what stood out. We’ll be back, and would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.
