Sitka Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, family oceanfront

The Sitka 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 and is our family suite, the only one that welcomes children of all ages. An ocean-fed hot tub is included, with a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.

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 SUITES

Hemlock Suite (upper level): sleeps 6

Sitka Suite (upper level): sleeps 6

Cedar Suite (lower level): sleeps 6

Heron Suite (studio): sleeps 2 adults

PLEASE NOTE: The Sitka Suite is on the upper level of house #3945, with another suite below. While the building is well insulated, some sound may travel between levels, so we kindly ask all guests to be mindful of noise.

AMENITIES Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat's outdoor amenities, including the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola and cozy fire pits.

Oceanfront hot tub: included with your stay, booked by appointment. Adults only.

Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.

Tesla Level 2 EV charger (240V): available for a fee. It has a Tesla (NACS) connector, so non-Tesla vehicles need their own adapter. We don't provide one.

Outdoor shower and invigorating bucket splash, or take a plunge in the ocean.

Advance booking through our website is required for the hot tub, sauna and EV charger, to ensure availability and privacy.

GOOD TO KNOW

Children of all ages are welcome in Sitka. The hot tub is adults only.

Pet friendly, with a $60 pet fee. Please note the property is not fenced.

Free parking on the property, in front of the suites.

The beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.

Streaming: Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix and Apple TV+.

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.

YOUR HOSTS We live on the property and are happy to help whenever you need us, while respecting your privacy. We're always just a message away, by phone or text.

Absolutely wonderful place. I would give it 10 stars instead of 5 if that were an option. My group booked the entire compound, 20 people, for a family reunion, and it was magic. Everything about the place was perfect!

No whales but tremendous views of water and Mountains

Spent a great week discovering the Powell River area and the myriad hikes available - from the easy to challenging. Wonderful wildlife viewing in some locations and quiet all around! Would certainly like to come back and spend more time in the area, especially the Desolation Sound area!
