About this property

Breathtaking views of the Porpoise Bay in the Sunshine Coast

In 2016, we realized our dream by completing the construction of Bella Vista, a modern three-level haven nestled in the breathtaking Sunshine Coast of British Columbia.

Bella Vista boasts an innovative Geothermal System, ensuring a consistently comfortable climate year-round. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our solar panels, which power our home with renewable energy, minimizing our environmental footprint.

As we designed Bella Vista, we prioritized panoramic vistas for each bedroom, guaranteeing that every guest is awestruck by the stunning scenery that surrounds them. In a nod to our commitment to sustainability, we've repurposed some of the trees cleared during construction, using them for elegant countertops and staircases, turning what once stood tall into objects of beauty that tie us to the land.

Located facing north towards the tranquil Porpoise Bay, our property offers idyllic views of the serene inlet waters and majestic mountains. Sandy Hook, our enchanting and secluded neighborhood, beckons you to unwind and immerse yourself in nature's wonders. With its expansive layout, Bella Vista accommodates large groups comfortably, allowing for cherished togetherness or cherished solitude, whichever you prefer.

Our dedication to inclusivity led us to incorporate accessibility features, ensuring that everyone, including those with disabilities or mobility challenges, can fully enjoy Bella Vista's splendor.

We envision Bella Vista as a sanctuary for family reunions and gatherings of friends, where cherished memories are created. As avid pet lovers ourselves, we warmly welcome your furry family members, because we understand that your whole family deserves a vacation.

Rest assured, our commitment to preserving the tranquility of the area is unwavering. Bella Vista is a peaceful oasis, and we're devoted to maintaining its serenity.

Furthermore, Bella Vista serves as an ideal retreat destination. We enthusiastically support wellness, spirituality, and corporate retreats, striving to contribute to a better world, a deeper respect for nature, and the happiness of our guests.

Picture yourself at Bella Vista, waking up to the gentle warmth of sunlight streaming through your window, casting a golden glow on the serene waters of Porpoise Bay and the distant, towering mountains. As you step onto the spacious deck, the crisp, salty breeze invigorates your senses. Inside, the modern comforts of our eco-friendly oasis embrace you, offering both relaxation and adventure.

Whether it's a family reunion, a retreat into nature, or a peaceful escape with your four-legged companion, Bella Vista promises an unforgettable stay where nature and luxury harmonize seamlessly.

Family Reunion

Thank you, so much for the amazing family reunion! We all had a wonderful time. Beautiful views, close to Hidden Grove for lovely hikes and Porpoise Bay for paddle boarding. Dogs loved it too. Very Thankful for the cool house during the heat wave too. Will be back for sure. Maybe this time with some close friends. Only suggestion maybe a umbrella for the deck. Thank you, Jack and Val Onl Will

Family get together

Overall our experience was great. The kitchen is equipped with lots of pots and pans, serving dishes and crockery. The house is noisy: sound travels downstairs and upstairs which made it difficult for the children to get to sleep. The safety gates on the stairwells were excellent for ensuring young children are safe. The only other complaint is the coach bed and the bed downstairs were uncomfortable.

Family wedding weekend

The deck over looking the bay was just perfect. We also visited the beach within walking distance many times. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked. The master bedroom was just great. The only bedroom that was not the best was the main floor one where the occupants had to cross the main area in the morning to use the washroom. It did lack a little privacy.

A great stay in Sechelt.

The house in the quiet Sandy Hook neighbourhood was large, well equipped and the layout worked well for our group of 7. We also enjoyed the deck with lots of seating to take in the spectacular view. Our host, Jack, was always available and responded quickly to our questions. We definitely recommend this property.

Make this residence your home base

There's a lot to see and do on the Sunshine Coast so make this clean, inviting residence your home base (but having a car is ideal). The view of the inlet from the large deck is stunning. Check in/out was easy and there was more than enough room for our large group. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Sunshine Coast paradise

Jack and Val’s home is perfect when you want to disconnect from the city. We stayed 3 nights but we could have stay for ever!!! There is plenty of room and everything you need in the kitchen: lots of spices and herbs ( even nutmeg powder for my gratin dauphinois!!!!) The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and I have to say we did a little bit of noise Friday night and we realized downstairs is better soundproofed a bit late. ( Sorry Janice!) The view is amazing and there are activities for anyone. We went to Edward lake ( half a day hike return), saw lots of bear’s poos but no bears and did swim in the lake, the water was so good! I strongly recommend Jack and Val’s home but avoid partying at night! Agathe
