About this property

Snowbirds! Almost beachfront, gas fireplace & firepit, May is like summer.

Whether your desire is to play in the sun, the sand, the snow, the warm water, explore award-winning wineries, golf or just enjoy the beauty and serenity of the surroundings, Sandpiper Beach House is the place for you!

This “beachy-chic” lakeview cottage is uniquely located with views of the private beach on Osoyoos Lake. Sandpiper Beach House with its spacious open plan and loft, has 2 patios positioned so that sun, shade and wind-shelter are easily found. As part of an exclusive gated community in the center of rolling vineyards directly on Osoyoos Lake, enjoy the private sandy beach with volleyball nets, tether ball and beach fire pits and an optional private boat slip. The amenities also include 2 pools (open from May 1 to October 1), 2 hot tubs (one open year-round), and a fitness center.

In winter, relax in front of your elegant gas fireplace. Exercise in the well-equipped fitness room or by walking along the foreshore. Refresh in the year-round hot tub at the end of your day. The milder winter provides a golf season at several top courses that starts earlier and lasts later than others in Canada. When you hanker for classic winter, Mount Baldy is 45 minutes away, offering snow-shoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing.

May is warm enough to golf, boat, fish, sail, paddleboard (one supplied), kayak, and dip your toes into the wild, wet fun, taking place in the warm, beautiful waters of Osoyoos Lake or the pools. Sit in the sun on the front patio in the morning, have lunch in the screened-in porch, drink wine coolers on the beach, and cocktails in the sun on the back patio with firepit and large umbrella. Beach chairs and beach umbrellas are supplied.

Year-round, savour award-winning wines at some of the 29 local wineries, visit numerous festivals or great restaurants that are minutes away. Walk along manicured garden paths and the beachfront. End your day with soft-lit dinners in your restful dining room. The good life doesn't get much better than this.

See yourself on the large back patio by the firepit, while BBQing, or prepare your feast in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen using an induction stove and convection oven. Then serve your culinary delights in the screened porch in warmer months to the sounds of bird song, or indoors on the elegant contemporary frosted glass dining table (both seat six). Be entertained and set the mood, in the open plan living area with vaulted ceiling, adjustable lighting throughout, a 55” HD Smart TV, a well-furnished seating area, a gas fireplace, and a Bluetooth speaker system.

Rejuvenate in your main floor primary bedroom with a King pillow-top bed and duvet. Revel in the serene view through the glass doors which open onto your personal patio. Set your laptop on the desk, and there’s a spacious ensuite with a warm floor and a glassed shower.

A powder room and laundry room complete this level

Invite your friends to stay in the two upstairs bedrooms with queen size pillowtop beds, duvets and another convenient desk.

Relaxing holiday

My husband and I stayed here with our jack Russell terrier and had a wonderful and relaxing week. The place was modern, well appointed and as described in the booking. Especially loved the quiet private beach, paddle boarding in the mornings and local wine on the screened in back patio in the evenings. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a private getaway or a young family.

Great beach house

The perfect place for a vacation at the beach. Two minute walk across the grass to a sandy and dog friendly beach. Even on the July 1st weekend the area was quiet and relaxing. The house was great and well stocked. Relaxing in the screened in sunroom was a great way to spend the evenings. Lots of outdoor and beach chairs and supplies as well. Highly recommended

Lovely home just steps from the beach and lake. We had a wonderful holiday

This home was very well equipped in terms of kitchen appliances/place settings etc as well as beach gear and offered more than enough space for our family of four. Just steps from the beach and the lake, we couldn't ask for a better location. We enjoyed them both very much. The private beach was never crowded. Many amazing wineries are located in such a close proximity; very convenient. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend visiting the Osoyoos / Oliver wineries.

Absolutely WONDERFUL

We just spent a month in this beautifully furnished and decorated cottage that is equipped with everything a traveller would need. Cottage is just steps from the beach and a club house with work-out equipment and a hot tub (during summer months 2 large swimming pools and a second hot tub are available). We enjoyed the walking trails and the tours to the area wineries. Sue was a perfect host. We are looking forward to returning next year.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Miller

Host profile image
We moved to Osoyoos from Calgary 10 years ago. It's a pleasure hosting rental guests at Sandpiper Beach House. Not only is it perfectly located just 30 steps from the beach and a 3-minute walk from the pools and hot tubs, we furnished and equipped it for a relaxing and enjoyable time.

Why they chose this property

We often traveled to Osoyoos in the spring when our Calgary winter seemed endless. We were amazed to see fruit trees in blossom in early April and fell in love with the desert surroundings. When we saw The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake we were excited to be able to own a home with so much sun, a few steps from a sandy beach - and warm water - something we don't have in Calgary at any time of year! It's a great place to relax and enjoy life.

What makes this property unique

This house is uniquely located so we see the beach and are only a few steps from the water. The master and second bedroom have beautiful views of the water, and we love the screened porch - which backs onto a large grassed meadow. The house is positioned so both sun and shade are easily-found and if there is wind in the backyard the front patio offers shelter and beach views. There is usually a lovely warm breeze and the birds provide great background music. The open plan feels really spacious and the community is beautifully landscaped with walking paths through-out. Oh and there are two pools and a hot tub too!
