Small 8 rooms all facing the ocean. Beautiful common area with bbq. So quiet and peaceful! Full kitchen with everything you need
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was spacious with a gorgeous view onto garden and the ocean. Bed said queen but it was only a double and soooo hard. Comfy bed is a must and it just didn’t deliver on that one. Reasonable price and great location. I can live with the tired decor but please upgrade the bed!

Nice small hotel with kitchen. No air conditioning however so warm and hot weather can be tough. Bathroom Amenities. we stay for 3 night. shampoo in little packets that barely washes 1/2 of short cut hair. reception not open all time so tough to get more if you come back to hotel at night.

First, the quaintness of the front of the place I loved! The manager was very accommodating and friendly 😁 we booked for one night then stayed one more before we went back to the mainland…the room was perfect for us and the view of the Georgia Strait ocean was stellar!!! We like to whale watch and I being from the States wanted to watch the Super Bowl! It was a room with a view absolutely perfect for us! Thank you Buena Vista by the Sea from room 105…❤️ The pic of the Premiere Room on the website is for real 🤩
