Gateway to Horseshoe Heaven

We stayed for 9 days in this wonderful home in idyllic Horseshoe Bay. Everything about the home and Valerie’s very personal touch and hospitality is top notch. The location is convenient for restaurants, Nanaimo ferry trips, Squamish, and nearby Whytcliffe Park. It was warm for a few days, but having AC at the home is a much appreciated luxury. West Vancouver and Vancouver are worth the short car treks. Would highly recommend Ferry Walk House.

Fantastic Option

A friend and I stayed at the Ferry House for 8 days in late June and early July. It was exactly as depicted in the listing and Valerie' was a delightful host. She was not at all intrusive, but checked in periodically to see if we needed anything, and was very responsive when we did have a question. The proximity to multiple ferries ( literally 5 minute walk) was a great asset, allowing exploration of areas that were not reachable by car. Vancouver is 20 minutes away, and staying in Horseshoe Bay enabled us to avoid the traffic jams of the city as well as enjoy the quaint seaside village. The private lush garden of Ferry House was one of my most favorite things, allowing us to sit outside most nights with daylight to almost 10. This was our first visit to the area and Ferry House was 5 stars all around. We would absolutely stay here again.

Cute town, great getaway

We stayed at the Ferry Walk House for one month while we transitioned to a permanent apartment. This place is awesome! It’s clean and has everything you need to make it home away from home. It’s a 1-2 minute walk to the ferry. There are some restaurants and shops nearby. Easy access to the freeway if you need to go to the city or drive up the mountain. If you bring your four legged family member there is a trail close by (about 200 ft). Your host, Valerie, is a phone call or text away and very responsive to whatever you need. She greeted us on arrival and was there to bid us farewell. All in all I’d say this place is great as a home base for staying in Vancouver.

Perfect Spot

This was the perfect location for our week in Vancouver. Close to everything we wanted to do. Whistler, Squamish, Capilano, Bowen Island ferry, and into Vancouver. We caught the express bus into downtown.. so convenient. The walk to the waterfront and cafes in Horseshoe Bay was literally 2 mins! So close to everything. Valerie was a wonderful host and the apartment was very nice and comfortable. The little touches were much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this rental! It was pleasure to meet you Valerie and hope to visit again.

Our family of 3 enjoyed the comfortable and well appointed accommodation. The location is perfect for quick walks to the coffee shops, stores and restaurants. Nice trails around town to walk the dog too. Valerie is a wonderful host and was very quick to respond to any question or request we had. We look forward to staying again.

Perfect Home-away-from-home

The attention to detail that host Valerie gives is topnotch. She is so kind and friendly. The apartment is so cosy and the bed is so comfy, and has a gorgeous view of Horseshoe Bay only a 5 minute walk away. Easy to get on ferries and highways. Horseshoe Bay is small and quiet with excellent restaurants and unique stores, especially the Spirit Gallery. We'd highly recommend this spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don't look any further - this is the place you want!

We stayed at Ferry Walk House in late June/early July and it was a great week! Valerie was such an attentive host, she even came to the rescue when our rental car wouldn't start. Ferry Walk House was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed - including a washer/dryer and all the kitchen things you might require! Nice patio, too. Horseshoe Bay is absolutely lovely. Everything is less than 5 minutes away (walking) - coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacy and a store for quick necessities. The drive into Vancouver can vary a bit, depending on the time of day you go, but you can make it to the far reaches of Vancouver in 30-40 minutes. Stanley Park is a mere 20 minutes away - pending traffic on the bridge. We explored Stanley Park, Science World (a MUST if you have kids - it is worth every penny and then some!), Granville Island (park near Science World and take the AquaBus - it's so tiny and fantastic), and some other parts of the city. However, we actually found the best adventures away from the city. Whale Watching - We booked with Seabreeze Adventures (in Steveston - cute town), but all the tours talk to eachother as to where the whales are, so just go with whichever is most convenient for you. Whistler - The mountain & the drive there is amazing. Plan a stop at Shannon Falls. The ferry - across the street from Ferry Walk House! Take it to Nanaimo, which is very charming. Download URide for transportation on the island. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!

Ferry Walk House

Our stay at Ferry Walk House was amazing, Valerie (owner of the property) is lovely and very helpful with everything you need. The photos and description of Ferry Walk House is true to every word, it is simply home from home, very dog friendly too. It is a gem of a place in the middle of Horseshoe Bay, walking distance to the bay, local shops, restaurants etc. Lots of places to visit, lots of trails to visit if you like hiking, lovely drive to Whistler, Squamish stopping off at points of interests : Brandiwine Falls, Alexander Falls, Shannon Falls. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Williams

Host profile image
Hello – I am a grandmother, originally from the UK and still retain the accent and British sense of humour!

I live on the main floor above the suite. While I completely respect the privacy of my guests, I am always happy to answer questions or help with directions.

Having met many people from around the world during my travels and while working in the airline and travel industry, I really enjoy continuing to meet new people without actually leaving home.

If you have children or pets, the friendly hospitality at Ferry Walk House is specifically designed to offer services that will make everyone’s stay comfortable and enjoyable. I can provide any child-related equipment you need. If I don't have it, I can arrange for rental. For your furry family member, there is a fully-fenced garden.

I warmly invite you to come to stay at Ferry Walk House and enjoy life in Horseshoe Bay village.

Why they chose this property

Horseshoe Bay is a unique part of West Vancouver. There is a village atmosphere and shop owners are friendly and outgoing. The mountain and sea views from the village are forever changing and unfailingly spectacular. I love where I live and when you get here, you will see why!

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy all the comforts of a home away from home and plenty of brochures to give you ideas about what to see and where to go. Before your arrival I will be sending you a link to my "Welcome Book" with directions, parking information and everything you need to know about your accommodation and the local area. You will find a copy of this book in the suite.

Bus travel is easy. The bus stop is 2 minutes away from the house, opposite the ferry terminal, and there is an express bus service into Vancouver every 20 minutes. Travel to the city takes 30 minutes and fares can be paid by cash or credit card.

You can hop on a ferry to Bowen Island (20 minutes), or to the Sunshine Coast (45 minutes), or Vancouver Island (90 minutes).

Whistler Mountain (Winter Olympics 2010) is a 75 minute drive along one of the most scenic highways in the world. Along the way, you can visit Squamish, boasting a gondola with incredible views of the surrounding area.

You can also rent a boat or take the guided "Sea Safari" tour from Sewell's Marina - 3 minutes walk from the house. You can walk to a coastal park and beach, or visit Lighthouse Park with trails running through the awe inspiring forest. For golfers, Gleneagles golf course is 5 minutes away. The opportunities and activities are endless!
