Beautiful carriage house in lovely Belcarra

We can't say enough to express how pleased we were with the accomodations and location of this beautiful apartment. Our host, Brain and Carol, were very gracious and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The property is beautifully furnished, making you feel at home and not staying in a rental. We hope to visit again and will pass on this wonderful property to friends and family who may visit Vancouver in the future.

Beautiful Retreat on Belcarra Bay

I had a phenomenal stay at Brian & Carol’s carriage house. Perfect work retreat right on Belcarra Bay, directly in walking distance to some amazing walking/hiking trails, and about a 40 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. Do take them up on use of the canoe! Deep Cove is a short paddle away. I’d absolutely look to stay here again if and when I return to this area of BC.

Perfect

We spent 3 weeks on honeymoon in this idyllic location, with a short break to Whistler. The location is great for getting the Canadian outdoor experience, as well as the city life, as the transport network is so good to Port Moody and the bus service to Belcarra outside the door is great. There is so much to see and do but not enough time, so will definitely be back. Brian and Carol are the perfect hosts, with nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Home away from home

Beautiful location. Superb Unit. Owners thought of every detail a traveler might need in a home away from home and were very communicative, helpful, and willing to provide any information someone new to the area would need. If your intention is to make most or all of your meals while traveling be sure to stop at the grocery before you arrive. It is about 10 minutes away in Port Moody (easy to get to) but having your food ready to go allows you to stay more local and avoid cars if Quiet rural atmosphere is what you were looking for. Not many restaurants close. But good brewery scene and a great authentic mexican one on Clarke St. We were not here long enough to really check out all that you can see and do here We loved the complete silence at night with the windows open and the water is so close. Definitely a place to come back to.

Little off beaten track; close to all types of shopping and super convenient for outdoor activities.

Very clean and trendily furnished; upscale residence. Peek a boo view of Burrard Inlet from bedroom window. Kitchen had pretty much all the supplies you would need to prepare meals. Having windows all around the suite was wonderful as there was a constant source of daylight, no matter the time of day unlike many condos which can be dark. Many of the windows opened, so we were able to air out the suite whenever we wanted. (There is no air conditioning). As suite is in a carriage house, both owner and guests have their privacy. We were astonished at the frequency of the local small bus connector which seemed to come every half hour throughout most of the day. We did not need it as we had a vehicle, but for many guests out of country, this could be very important. There are 2 lovely lakes, both with swimming within a 15 min drive, and an salt water inlet beach within a 10 minute walk. Also many hiking trails close by; some within walking distance from suite and others a short drive away. As the Tri Cities are close (Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam) one can find any type of merchandise, food, or restaurant within a 15 -20 min drive. Owners provided special food items in suite (very thoughtful) to make guests feel welcome. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Always a great stay! Mahalo to Brian & Carol for being such great hosts. There were even improvements this time as they have replaced the TV with a huge new one, added a heat pump for hot or cold air in the bedroom and additional device hub for all our electronics charging. We love the solitude of the place and we’ve now found a great ice cream shop (no sugar/dairy chocolate) right in Port Moody! We’ll be back.

The rental was cute! It had everything you needed to stay for a decent vacation. I mostly was in and out of the city, but the car ride to the train station and beyond was very quick and easy! Brian and Carol were lovely and made sure to check-in and make sure you had everything you needed!

Lovely wooded getaway

After the bustle of Vancouver, this was a nice relaxing week in the wilderness, but close enough to town that we could get groceries, go out to dinner, and even get transportation all the way to Whistler. Attentive property owner and a good accommodation, with a full-size kitchen, full bath and laundry machines, which saved us some packing. Right on the water and very close to several good hikes. Lots of fun!

Charming retreat for nature lovers

I needed a place to stay for a week while in the area for work and this carriage house in Belcarra was perfect. It was exceptionally quiet and allowing for a peaceful retreat after work. Brain and Carol were welcoming and ensured the place was clean and well-equipped. Brian offered many suggestions for trail runs and hikes which I took advantage of. I look forward to returning.
