A unique west coast house built on pilings, extending out over the ocean with an ocean view from every window.

It has two bedrooms, both have en suite bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and two person bubble jetted tub and walk-in shower in the en suite bathroom. The second bathroom boasts a beautiful claw foot tub. There is a stocked kitchen for your cooking needs and a grocery store within a minute's walk for groceries.

Over the Ocean - dining area

Enjoy your meals, quiet time reading or just some amazing views from the sunroom. The interior house has mostly cedar wood finish, wool carpets, hardwood flooring, wooden sundeck out over the water and garden patio with a BBQ. Sleeps up to 9 persons.

High speed wireless internet
Smoking - outside only

After a day of whale watching, fishing, exploring the island's network of walking and cycling trails and cultural heritage, or simply lounging in a chair on deck, you will enjoy an abundant ocean view - sit quietly, observe and be mesmerized!

Eat in, using the kitchen or the BBQ, or eat out at one of the nearby restaurants and return to the deck over the ocean where you will appreciate the drawing to an end of yet another memorable day!

And, if the sun is willing, view the splendour of one of the loveliest sunsets imaginable. Harbour seals, River Otters, Mink, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons and Belted Kingfishers are frequently viewed from the patio while Orcas, Pacific White-sided Dolphins, Dalls Porpoise, Minke Whales, Humpback Whales and Gray Whales are occasionally seen. Binoculars provided!

There is excellent bird watching in the fall, winter and early spring months from inside the suite but especially so from the deck outside.

Testimonials

Wow! It's not very often that accommodation so exceeds expectations and looks even better than in the photos. Today we saw 50-60 orcas - a super pod. It has been my lifetime dream to see even just one whale, living wild and free, so there are hardly words to describe how superlative today was for me and my family. I had tears of joy in my eyes a lot of the time. This has hopefully also shown our children how orcas are meant to live - rather than in some ghastly prison in San Diego and elsewhere. Thank you for creating this sublime experience for us. I hope we are able to return one day.Keynes family, UK and South Africa

Thank you so much for providing everything you promised and more! The house over the ocean is just incredible and with the million dollar view it becomes outstanding. The deck for BBQs and gathering together made it feel like home. Our whale watching trip was so great and all of the crew were so friendly and professional. The orcas were beautiful and we were thrilled to se the whole family along with the porpoise, seals and eagles's nest. We appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail in the accommodation. Hope to see you again soon! D & W Peters, Ont. Canada

You have a very nice place here and it was a pleasure for us to stay several days "over the ocean". Seeing orcas out of the window - what more can you expect?!! Take care and best regards. Huber family, Germany

We will be talking about our stay in Alert Bay for quite some time! We have had a wonderful stay and thank you so much. Lettleman Family, Manitoba, Canada

Sorry we did not meet up but we all want to let you know how much we have enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect with every detail catered for - it will live on in our memories forever! We only wish we lived nearer to make it a regular port-of-call. The trip on your yacht was the highlight of our holiday and the fulfillment of a lifetime ambition for us to see so many orcas and humpbacks with porpoises and dolphins as well, was awesome! Thank you so much for making all of this possible...as for the future - you never know!! The Maney Family, Yorkshire, England

Thank you so much. We could not have asked for a better place to stay on our honeymoon! The house is wonderful and resting! Orca watching was brilliant! They were so beautiful .Watching them rest and play was great and it was good to be out with people who care about these creatures - unlike some of the other companies. Seeing the orcas in the wild has been one of my greatest wishes and it has exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! N & S Brentwood, UK
