Magical
We had a blissful three-day stay at
Absolute Heaven in West Sechelt. The property is a one bedroom apartment on the lower floor of the hosts' house. Doug and Doreen were friendly and discreet, welcoming us on the first evening and checking in briefly with us to ensure all was well and empty bins.
The house is very comfortable, immaculately clean, spacious and well equipped. We had full private access to the garden and beach (via a very short path on the property - make sure you breathe in the scent of pine and lavender as you walk down). The location is stunning, looking out onto the Strait from the garden and hot-tub. Utterly blissful.
We swam every day several times, had camp fires on the beach and enjoyed cooking on the gas barbecue. We also kayaked around the islands facing the house, and saw seals flopping around on the rocks.
Doug and Doreen left us lots of useful basics (coffee, salt, pepper, oil etc - as well as some treats like wine). We really appreciated these touches, as well as the plentiful towels and fluffy robes which made us feel like we were at a fancy spa. Slipping into the perfect temperature hot-tub with a drink and a sunset view was magnificent.
A special mention must go to Doug and Doreen's lovely neighbours who invited us to eat campfire Smores with them, lent us kayaks, and took us out to empty their crabpots.
Thoroughly recommended.
