About this property

The Annex- Family Fun on Sargeant Bay

Experience the best of west coast living and lovely ocean views from this sunny custom built 2400sf, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home situated on a beautiful landscaped corner lot in a quiet and private neighbourhood. The house is directly across from a pretty beach access to a secluded bay. Enjoy the use of our complimentary kayaks and hot tub.

New for summer 2024. Six modern Adirondack chairs surround a gas fire pit in a newly landscaped part of the front garden. Enjoy a flickering fire under the stars with views of the ocean.

***As well as the excellent location, layout, design and amenities, the Annex is one of the few vacation homes with a 2024 short term rental license in Sechelt since the District and Province brought in new stricter STR rules****.

The lofted open plan is decorated with a tasteful mix of antiques, art and contemporary furnishings to offer comfortable spaces for both gathering or seclusion. The kitchen offers plenty of space for the serious chef along with some herbs, veggies or fresh flowers from the seasonal gardens.

Comfy beds with natural linens and duvets ensure you'll sleep well. Additional features include 50"TV, second TV in loft, TV in bedroom, high speed WiFi, and various work desks with a view either in the great room or loft

Sargeant Bay Provincial Park with a bird sanctuary and sandy beach at low tide is only 1.5km away. The upland portions of the park are riddled with trails for both mountain biking and hiking or get your thrills from the Coast Gravity Park or other trails up and down the Coast. Plenty of covered locked garage space for all your toys and gear. Parking for your RV or boat trailer too.

Aside from more active pursuits, there are aboriginal tours, golf, art galleries, restaurants or simply relaxing at the Annex with BBQ, lovely gardens, hummingbirds, large windows, hot tub or a cosy wood stove in winter. A fenced yard and deck along with the proximity to nature make the property perfect for dogs and children and a lovely place to chill with friends and family. Wifi and a large screen TV keep you connected while you're holidaying.

This is a very peaceful neighbourhood so we ask that you respect that by being as quiet as you can when outside especially when enjoying the hot tub (between 9AM and 9PM). This is not a party house.

The house is very central to all that the Sunshine Coast offers. Eight minutes from Sechelt, 35 minutes from the ferry, 30 minutes from Gibsons, 30 minutes to Madeira Park and Pender harbour as well as 50 minutes to the world famous Skookumchuk Rapids trailhead.

We are happy to use our local knowledge to help you plan a memorable itinerary tailored to your interests. Massage and chef services can usually be arranged with adequate notice.

NB: As per the conditions for STR in the District of Sechelt and the BC Provincial registry, we have an onsite host/operator who lives on the property. She resides in a separate independent carriage house suite, attached to the main Annex house. She has her own entrance and does not share any of your amenities or living spaces - you will have the entire Main Suite, gardens and grounds to yourself. She's a local gal and usually says hi and welcomes guests. She can recommend things to see and do in the area.

Relaxing Coastal Escape with All the Comforts of Home

We spent Easter weekend at this lovely property and had a fantastic time! It was the second stay for two members of our group, and it’s easy to see why they wanted to return. The location is perfect—quiet, with easy access to the beach—and the home itself has everything you could want for a relaxing getaway.There’s plenty of space for everyone, a fully equipped kitchen, and we especially loved the gated backyard and spacious deck—perfect for our dogs to safely enjoy the outdoors with us. The hot tub was a definite highlight, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring the Sunshine Coast.This place is a gem and an absolute must if you're looking to spend quality time in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Highly recommended!

A Favourite Return Visit

We've stayed at this property before and will certainly do so again. Our getaway was part company retreat/part friends on vacation - and the spacious home and beautiful surrounding areas were leant themselves perfectly to both.

Summer Getaway to the Sunshine Coast

The place is awesome. Lot’s of luxurious space with modern conveniences and extras. Our only disappointment is the beach access. This is steep as advertised, but a bit of difficult trek after a recent knee replacement.

The Annex

The property is nice and the yard is very well maintained, the view from the hot tub is great. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The bedrooms were spacious and the layout was great. We were 6 adults and 2 dogs and we had plenty of space. There were a couple of issues during our stay but the owner was quick to respond when I reached out. We did feel like the cleanliness could have been better. The walk down to the beach is quite steep and the path needs some maintenance but it’s a very short trip to get down there. The beach is very rocky so not great for dogs but there are a number of trails and beach access points close by.

Amazing view, beautiful clean, comfortable home.

It was a beautiful property, clean with an amazing view and location. It had everything we needed. The enclosed back yard was perfect for our dogs and the hot tub had Ana amazing view over the water. The only thing was that the bed in the master bedroom was uncomfortable and the mattress needs to be replaced.

The perfect stay

The house was wonderfully clean and decorated for the holidays, which was perfect for our groups stay over the new year. There is plenty of space to spread out for lounging, or to spend time together cooking/eating in the fully stocked kitchen. All of the bedrooms had very comfortable beds and ample space; there was plenty of room for two couples and a friend to stay (as well as a dog!). Bathrooms were very clean and had soap, shampoo/conditioner, etc. We made good use of the hot tub (which has an excellent view of the water), the wood stove, and the gated patio and yard is a bonus for furry friends. The house is very easy to find, with great parking options. It was really a perfectly maintained property, and communication with the hosts was a breeze - would 10/10 stay here again and recommend it to families, groups, or couples. Great spot!

Such a treat!

We went with friends and we all loved it. The place is beautiful, so clean, spacious and stocked with everything you could need. We even got to harvest some veggies and herbs from the garden. Everything was amazing. Our only exception would be that apparently we were too loud in the hot tub. As four mature adults chatting quietly at 4 pm, we were still too loud for the neighbors! Of course this is not the owners fault. But if you tend to be loud or want to be up late talking in the hot tub, this place might not be the option for you.

Exactly what we were seeking

The location was excellent and put us close to anything we wanted to do on the Sunshine Coast. The property was spotlessly clean, and a big enough space for 4 adults and one teenager. The air conditioning was spectacular, just what is needed during a heat wave. Huge fully stocked kitchen, which we barely used. I don't think I've ever seen a larger master bedroom anywhere, it is literally the size of my son's entire condo. And the ensuite shower could probably fit 5-7 people. or more :) Lots of local information provided onsite, including maps and guidebooks.

New Years 2021

We had a fantastic time at this amazing property! We were a family of 5 adults and loved that there was so much space for all of us to either spend time together playing games or snuggle up someplace quiet and read books. The house was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for all your needs. The hot tub and fireplace were welcome additions as the snow piled up outside. It was also such a nice bonus to be pet friendly; there is a big fenced yard and deck where we could let him run around and play with us in the snow. Bob and Heather were easy to connect with and quickly responded to our queries. This will be our new favourite place on the Sunshine Coast, and we look forward to staying here again in the summer! I Thanks for sharing your lovely home Heather, we will be back!

This was my second visit to one of the Pointhouse properties. The first was as a guest of friends and this time with three girlfriends. All of the suites are extremely well appointed, particularly the kitchens. The beds are super comfy and luxurious, the decor tasteful and the hosts responsive to the couple of questions we had.

Amazing Space!

Our stay at this property was fantastic! What isn't shown in the photos is the ocean view which can also be seen from the hot tub. The house is massive and the master bedroom feels like you have your own huge hotel suite. The trail down to the beach is so vibrant and lush and you arrive at your own beach at the end (Rocky but secluded). We would highly recommend anyone stay here if you're looking for a peaceful getaway.

Spacious relaxing retreat

5 of us stayed at the Annex for almost two weeks in July. It was fantastic, exceeding our expectations. First of all, the location is great. It’s quiet, being off the main highway, has some lovely views of the Salish Sea, and yet is just a 10-15 minute drive to Sechelt and a 5 minute one to Welcome Woods where I enjoyed the many quiet walking trails with our doggo and we met many friendly locals. There was so much space in the house as well as outside for us to all be together comfortably, or get away for personal time. For part of each day, we used the upstairs living area with our daughter, allowing my parents some privacy in the downstairs living room. The house is so well cared for and decorated with lovely artwork and some personal furnishing which adds character. We were very comfortable sleeping, sitting, lounging ( I appreciated the deck lounge chairs as many rentals we’ve stayed at haven’t included those, just chairs for sitting.) The main floor bedroom and ensuite were perfect for my 80+ year old parents as they didn’t have to climb stairs and yet allowed them privacy too.The kitchen is very well equipped. It had everything we needed for preparing food. The one small thing I found lacking were plastic containers for storing left-overs. I could not find any, which we seem to always need. Would be good to add some to the kitchen. A few of the light switches on the stairs to the top floor didn’t work for us, but this was ok as they were not essential lights for us but would be good to remedy. The large, fully fenced backyard and huge deck were perfect for our young doggo. I felt at ease knowing she had room to roam, be in sun or shade and was contained and safe. We also enjoyed both the deck (when it was cooler) and the backyard, including picking some of the salad greens from the veggie patch. The garden has a variety of plants and is well cared for adding to the beauty of the outside spaces. In the early evenings, the hot tub was a welcome treat for all of us. The public access trail across the road that takes you down to the beach is definitely well named as “Cardiac Beach”. Lots of exposed roots and steep stairs, so not accessible for some but a good workout for others. We loved the beach at Sargeant Bay Provincial Park at low tide: pure sand in the bay (rocky mostly on the beach) calm water, great for small kids to dig near shore and swim. We’d love to return at some point with other friends to this relaxing, retreat !

A Peaceful Coastal Escape

The Annex is a gorgeous, expansive space, beautifully decorated with a well-appointed kitchen. The water and lush garden views - from every room in the house - were incredibly serene. We particularly enjoyed wrapping up each day with a relaxing hot tub. If you're looking for some R+R and outdoor adventure, look no further.

We were very impressed by the house and surrounding property. The open concept kitchen and living room was very conducive to dinner parties.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Newman

Host profile image
We bought the Pointhouse property in Dec 2005 as our future retirement home while we were still residing and working in Dawson Creek, BC. It was a successful vacation rental till Feb 2010 when we began a complete reconstruction of the main house and built a new guesthouse (Aerie) on the bluff above.
We made the move to the Sunshine Coast full time in January 2011 living first in the Aerie guesthouse and finally in Jun 2012, the expanded and renovated Pointhouse. The Pointhouse operates as a boutique B&B most of the time but is available for select vacation rentals throughout the year as well as special occasions such as small weddings, meetings or other events.
In April 2016, on the strength of our successful vacation rental track record, we decided to purchase the Annex to offer additional family and pet friendly short term accommodations on the Sunshine Coast.
With the interesting guests from all over the world and a busy schedule of physician locums, retirement is still a ways off. Fortunately, life on the coast is a more relaxed pace allowing us more playtime, family time and travel opportunities. We've also taken up boating so even more coast to explore.

Why they chose this property

We love living on the Sunshine Coast and this home ticked all the boxes when we went looking for a second property.
It's another great location mid coast only a 2 minute drive by car from our B&B, 7 minutes from all the services and amenities in Sechelt or by water a 10 minute paddle along the Sargeant Bay shoreline.
Beautiful ocean views, convenient beach access, extensive mature gardens, quiet neighbourhood, great layout, quality construction and energy efficiency were some of the other selling points.

What makes this property unique

With a pretty beach trail directly across the street, this home has all the benefits of a high bank waterfront home without the hefty price tag or maintenance headaches of a potentially precarious stairwell clinging to a cliff. The views, gardens and well planned spaces make it easy to imagine ourselves happily living there too.
