Tidal Dance at Halfmoon Bay: “...a little piece of Paradise”

" Even in the rain it was breathtaking." (guest)

Guests are serenaded by abundant bird life and the soothing sound of waterfalls cascading into the tidal estuary below. Your contemporary suite features a spacious bathroom with W/D, 9' ceilings which let in loads of light, two bedrooms and a pull-out futon which comfortably sleeps up to five persons. Prepare your own gourmet meals in the well-appointed kitchen, or dine at waterfront restaurants nearby. A private deck and trail winds down to water's edge. We have a canoe, a kayak aand SUP for guests to explore the protected waters of Secret Cove Inlet. And we're just minutes from Smugglers Cove, a destination for the trails and tidal pools and ocean views. So close to the City, and yet it feels like a world away.

Great location

Property was very clean and had lots of amenities. Very close to lots of good hikes and the bay was great for kayaking in the evening when the tide was in. Laura and John had lots of great recommendations for things to do as well.

Excellent stay

This is a beautiful place, and the cottage, attached on one side to the owner's home but completely private, is spacious, very well-equipped, and the host is very helpful. Sechelt with shopping is close. We used the cottage as a base for hiking the many nearby parks, but it also provides kayaks, canoe and rowboat for trips down the inlet.

Wonderful escape!

Our family of 4 spent a few days escaping the city to explore the Sunshine Coast. The location is lovely. You can see & hear the creek running from the house. The outdoor deck would be ideal in the warmer weather. The unit is modern yet comfortable. The kitchen was stocked very well. We cooked every night. We will be back!

paul review

The location was perfect for a quiet get-a-way. My adult daughter wanted to try paddle boarding but could not navigate the drop off to the tidal basin nor the climb back up the steep embankment. The winding path was very lovely and beautiful. The accommodations were more than adequate. Hint - - - a hold bar would be MOST helpful when stepping out of the shower.

Quiet family retreat

Laura and John are excellent hosts. Their beautifully renovated suite overlooks the private Secret Cove. The space is exceptionally clean and well equipt for a family to enjoy a quiet and relaxing stay with exclusive access to the cove. My children remarked their best sleep ever on the bunk beds. Laura gave wonderful advice on what to see locally including hikes, food, local shopping and exploring the coast and islands- via water taxi. Thank you Laura and John for making our family holiday relaxing and memorable. All the best.

Great spot for kayaking!

This is a great location for exploring the nearby coastline, including Smugglers Cove Provincial Marine Park, by kayak! Spectacular paddling! Note that you can only launch or land during the higher half of the tide cycle so need to plan accordingly, and you do need to carry the boats downs a pretty steep (but well maintained and totally doable) path (unless you use the boat the hosts provide). There's a very nice spot to both store the boats and hang out down by the water. Super quiet and clean, well maintained suite.

Too Bad We Couldn't Stay Longer

It is a great place facing a sea inlet. At high tide you can paddle out to the sea or even have a swim right next to the property. The suite is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. The bed in the main bedroom is super soft. We enjoyed grill dinners on the deck facing the inlet. It is a few minutes drive away from a beautiful walk to the Smuggler's Cove or a water taxi going to the Buccaneer Bay beach on Thormanby Islands. Laura and her husband were very gracious hosts who responded to all requests and provided good pointers about things to do.

Amazing spot tucked away in the woods

This place was amazing for the other half of our family for the weekend. The host showed us around in person which was so kind and helpful. The place is beautiful and everything was clean. We appreciated their responsiveness and flexibility with our group needs. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely spot, nice hosts, very warm water

The property is wonderful and very clean, and the hosts are very thoughtful. The back deck table and bbq are great for vacation cooking. The shallow waters during high tide make the water extremely warm. The paddle board was our favourite, and we floated around endlessly and often ended up swimming even in the evening. Thanks for a great vacation!

Lovely cottage

We had an amazing stay at Tidal dance at Half Moon Bay! Laura and John were great hosts. Laura gave us a quick tour/orientation to the cottage and was very helpful in suggesting hikes and other activities during our stay. Laura was quick to answer any questions we had. We took the canoe out several times and saw some otters in the cove. We hiked a lot and enjoyed Smugglers cove and the waterfall hike the most. I’m hoping someday we will come back! Thanks!

Tidal Dance

Tidal Dance is in a beautiful location, relatively private and close to amenities and the wonderful provincial parks in the area. The suite (this is a lower suite in a house, with owners living upstairs, which isn't entirely clear in the listing) is very comfortable, clean, and well furnished, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Local maps and information are provided. The owner Laura was friendly and welcoming and respected our privacy. We didn't use the provided paddleboard or canoe, but did spend some very relaxing time sitting at the water's edge watching the tide come in. The only down side was some noise from upstairs, which intruded a bit on our relaxation. All in all, we had a great time on the Sunshine Coast.

Tranquil one week stay Aug 20 - 27/22

The owners, Laura and John, were very nice and afforded us our privacy. The property (suite) was immaculate and was stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The only thing I would comment on, is that if someone has mobility issues the path down to the water is somewhat of a challenge. There is, however, a beautiful beach, CoopersGreen just a 5 minute drive away where we went almost everyday. There is also a little store also 5 minutes away. This property is only a 10 - 15 minute drive to the quaint little town of Sechelt and 25 - 30 minutes to Gibsons. Overall, we had a lovely stay. Sheena and Robert Cacchioni

Lovely Break from the City

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laura and John's property. It was heaven to have A/C during the heatwave and be so close to the water. The suite is well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. Laura and John were lovely hosts and even though the suite is downstairs, we never felt encroached. Laura was so helpful with getting us sorted with the kayak etc and even had the right size life jackets for all 4 of us. We had a great time exploring the area and spent time hiking, exploring creeks, waterfalls and tidal pools. Sechelt and Gibsons weren't too far away and didn't disappoint. Overall a great family vacation!
