About this property

Get Away to Peaceful Sunshine... Barooga

If you feel 'bushed,' sail to Sunshine Coast, a short ripple from Vancouver. Smell the clean, fresh air. Barooga has lush berry bushes and a path to our private beach on Georgia Strait. Focus on bald eagles, hummingbirds, loons, and jays. Turn over a beach stone, let the ocean life tickle your palms. Hike up, relax on the deck with a cool drink. Inhale the view, islands, lighthouses near and far, cruise ships dancing toward the Inside Passage and Alaska.

Fully furnished, three bedroom, private waterfront house for weekly vacation retreat, situated between Sargeant and Halfmoon Bays. Two hours from Vancouver, forty minutes of which is a pleasant ferry ride across Howe Sound. The main three-piece bathroom has a shower. The second washroom has a toilet and a basin.

Kitchen has everything including a corkscrew. Sleeps up to six people. Gas barbecue on large deck. Paved two car driveway. Path to a private beach through a park-like setting. The spacious, private deck with the view is exceptionally functional with the covered and well-lit area.

Keywords: House on 1.4 Acre Waterfront Barooga stands as a peaceful sanctuary on the Sunshine Coast, embodying tranquility and a connection with the natural surroundings. The property, lovingly tended to include fruit trees, grape vines, and a path to a private beach, offers guests a unique escape with stunning views of the Georgia Strait. The interior is thoughtfully designed with comfortable, stylish rooms and a spacious great room that leads to an expansive outdoor deck. Here, guests can enjoy solitude or socialize, always with a sense of privacy and relaxation at the forefront.
Located in the inviting community of Halfmoon Bay, Barooga offers an idyllic base to experience the best of the Sunshine Coast. This neighborhood captivates with its mix of quiet coastal charm and adventurous possibilities, from serene beaches and vibrant hiking trails to quaint local boutiques. Robyn and John, while always available to assist and enrich your stay with their local knowledge, ensure that guests feel the freedom to explore and enjoy the area at their own pace, fostering an atmosphere of privacy and discovery. Robyn and John, who are now retired and permanently residing on-site at Barooga, have nurtured their dream of coastal living into reality since 1989. Their backgrounds in nursing and engineering reflect a life dedicated to caring and precision, which now extends to their hospitality. Despite always being on hand to offer a warm welcome and share the local secrets of the Sunshine Coast, they deeply respect the privacy of their guests, ensuring a balance of attentive yet unobtrusive service.

Awesome View
A wonderful holiday at this Halfmoon Bay home. Everything was so clean, well organized and had every thing we could want and needed. The view was AWESOME looking over the water. We really enjoyed the daily visits from the deer families and other wildlife. It was well situated to beaches and Sechelt for any supplies. We would certainly like to visit this special place again.

Fabulous view
We found this property spacious, well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The outside spaces were perfect for our family. We played spike ball, bocce. We loved the hot tub and happy hour on the deck. The property is centrally located for day trips up and down the coast. Our only disappointment is the “waterfront” listing. It is extreme high bank and my adult daughter fell 3 times trying to get down so instead we drove to beaches nearby with easier access. All in all we loved the house, the view and location and we’d love to return.

Amazing ocean views
We loved our stay at Robyn's home! The view was amazing with a huge deck overlooking the ocean. The home was open concept and was very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed and more! We were even supplied with fans during the heat wave which helped alot. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Thanks for everything!

Amazing view
We had a fabulous stay. The views of the ocean and mountains were spectacular. Got to have our morning coffee in a tranquil atmosphere watching the deer graze in the yard and the eagles hunting for their breakfast. The house had everything we needed including puzzles that we tackled during a rain day. The fireplace added a special touch. Looking forward to coming back. Definitely 5 star accommodations.
