Beautiful view as soon as you walk in the door. Everything you need for a weekend. Hot tub was nice. Close to shops and restaurants. Good location. Very busy road. Driveway is a little tight. A little on the pricy side of things. I booked on VRBO.CA and I was charged in foreign currency. Not sure why that is.

Sunsets like the Caribbean!
As soon as you step into the house, you're greeted by a tranquil expanse of water, sunsets, equal many I've experienced in the tropics. I spent a lot of time training my camera on the horizon and shooting multiple time lapse shots. On my arrival in chilly December, I instinctively turned on the fireplace, mesmerized by the serene view outside. The hot tub, exceptionally clean and spacious enough for six, was a luxurious retreat I enjoyed solo. The kitchen, well-equipped and boasting ample counter space, inspired my culinary creativity. Located near Selma Park, the house offers the convenience of proximity to town for easy shopping. It features two peaceful bedrooms; despite the road's proximity at the property's top, nights are surprisingly quiet. Parking is a breeze, located right at the entrance, making unloading effortless. After a rejuvenating 4 and a half days, I'm already planning my return, having found the perfect spot for a much-needed recharge.

Lovely pre-Christmas holiday weekend!
Everything was as described, and perfect for two couples! Feel very lucky to have found this wonderful accommodation, it was exactly what we were hoping for. The uncluttered nature of the rooms belies the fact that every small detail for comfort is provided. Condiments, body and dish soaps, a lending library, games, even a good playable guitar and binoculars are among many numerous small comforts. Most importantly, do you love to be right on the ocean, or watch wildlife and water? The view and location can’t be beat. The hot tub was a big bonus, and the hosts even arranged for wonderful sunny days and spectacular sunsets every night! 😉 (ok, maybe that was just serendipitous!) Thank you, Chris and Carolyn, for sharing your lovely home. We look forward to returning one day! Robin and Enn Bellevue Valley Lodge, Goulais River ON

Amazing property with spectacular views
The property was beautiful and well maintained with the most spectacular sea views from the balcony or the lower deck. Communication was great and we always got really speedy replies. Just a few minutes drive to everything Sechelt has to offer. The bed in the main bedroom was incredibly comfy. We didn't try the other one as our daughter slept in a travel cot in that room. The house is just off the main highway which can get busy at certain times of day but you don't notice this from the beach side of the house.

Happy to recommend Westview Home
Don't stay here if you need to work from home.....the view, the hot tub and the proximity to water sports, hiking and good food are too much of a distraction. Fortunately, we came to relax, hike and paddle. The house was clean, the kitchen well furnished with appliances, a book of well written instructions is available. We were especially impressed by the communication with Chris, the owner, always responsive. As other renters have mentioned the access to the property is off a main arterial and a bit tight turning into the driveway but there is a fish mobile hanging along the fence to identify the driveway. And there is plenty of room to turnaround in the driveway so you are not backing out into traffic. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships passing by Vancouver Island, even saw Orcas in Davis Bay. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

lovely stay, but parking area could be clearer
Stayed here with my teenage daughter for a short getaway. Beautiful view, great kitchen and the starry skies from the hot tub were memorable. The parking situation could be better indicated onsite. We weren’t sure where the driveway was and unfortunately needed some help from BCAA to get out of the unused boat launch drive right next to the property.

Lovely Location
The location on the water was absolutely lovely! Hot tub view was spectacular. A few corrections for some of the reviews I read... ...there are blinds on all bedroom windows. Although the unit is close to neighbours, I never felt uncomfortable about privacy. ...the walk down to the beach is steep but it is on a cement boat ramp so it's not so difficult to navigate Very much enjoyed our stay! Will come again in the future.

Nice home with a great view. When we checked in at 9pm all the windows were sealed up. It must have been 50 degrees inside. Took hours for house to cool off. Made for a hot sleep. Otherwise a good stay.

perfect location, amazing view, lovely home
the location is hard to beat and the view is breathtaking. your view of the bay anywhere from the common living areas is absolutely stunning. the home was clean and comfortable. during low tide, you have access to what amounts to a private beach in your back yard. the access way is steep so it may be difficult for seniors and you have to walk past a strip of rocks along the shoreline to access a larger sand beach. We really enjoyed taking the SUP boards out almost daily. The water is very clean and comfortable on a warm summers day. you're 2 minutes from Sechelt, 3 mins to David bay beach, no more than 10 mins to the Canadian tire/IGA. Pluses: - beach towels are provided - Netflix is provided - two high quality stand up paddle boards - hot tub on the back patio Minuses: - couldn't really think of any real minuses. Could have used some kid friendly plates/cups and utensils.

Awesome View
This was our second visit to this lovely property and we were not disappointed. We were worried about how the newly constructed house on the south side would effect the view, but that owner had been considerate of others and built there house very low on property, so you just saw the tops of their flat roofs and still had unobstructed views of the ocean. We were last here 3 summers ago, and the property has been very well kept up (appeared to have a fresh coat of paint inside). The kitchen is still well stocked for cooking ware. It was lovely to snuggle up to the gas fireplace on the colder/rainy days. Definitely plan on going back!

We had a wonderful weekend at Chris and Carolyn's place, the view is front and centre when you walk in the door, looking out at the water and across to Vancouver Island. The house is a cozy, clean and welcoming space with a kitchen/living room area that is centred on the fantastic view. We were able to walk right down to the beach, soak in the hot tub and enjoy the close access to Robert's Creek and Sechelt. It was a fabulous stay and we'd love to come back again someday.

Beautiful View
Our stay was beautiful at Selma Park. Gorgeous view and the hot tub was awesome. Absolutely stunning apartment. Only 2 things we weren't expecting was: How close we would be to the neighbours. They could see us in the tub, and through all the windows in the apartment, as there are no window coverings at all other than the bedrooms. It really wasn't a big deal for us, but a lot closer than we were expecting by looking at the photos in the ad and not as private. So I thought to mention it for others here who were looking for more privacy at this price. Also, we were warned about the chemicals in the hot tub, but it actually ruined my bathing suit, discoloring it completely and our skin was extremely dry and irritated for quite a few days after, regardless of showering and moisturizing after use. However, we had been warned about it. The communication was good with the caretakers. But again, the chemicals were harsher than expected and I'm out a bathing suit now. Otherwise, it was an absolutely gorgeous spot. The ocean was so calming, the kitchen was fun to cook in and the stars from the tub were absolutely stunning. When the tide is out, I highly recommend a walk along the beach and its very close to town to access stores and groceries.

Great Location no kayaks
The location was beautiful. Part of the reason why I rented this place was for the kayak which I found out once we had arrived was apparently broken. It was too cold to go paddle boarding with my son. We were a little disappointed in this. Overall the place was very clean. I honestly found it a little overpriced - there are a lot of fees added in addition. Not sure if we would return.

Selma park is a great weekend getaway. My friends and I cam over from Vancouver and our expectations were exceeded. The house is exceptionally clean and the pictures don't do the view justice! We appreciated all of the little details; a stocked kitchen (we cooked all our meals in), beach towels, picnic basket, paddle board and bbq. We felt completely at home and was such a warm welcoming space. The property manager, Leah, was wonderful! Super accommodating and very helpful with all our questions. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Vacation
We had a good experience from the very start of booking to the time we left the property. Everything was perfect. Communicating with the owner was friendly and easy and we were given all the information we needed. Arriving was easy, we heard from the property manager before we arrived letting us know it was ready for us. Communicating with the property manager was easy and we felt at ease with any request (which we didn't really have any, we had all we needed). The property itself was clean, had all the necessary items and was the perfect amount of space for our family. The view is spectacular and we really took that in the whole week we were there. The hot tub was another major plus, our kids loved it too and so we spent a lot of time in it especially during the night when all the stars came out, it was just paradise. The beach was great, we took advantage of the low tide and walked down the way to the sand bar area which was a lot of fun. The house location is so close to town and to the Davis Bay area that we really didn't have to go far to get anywhere. The only downside we could think of was the slope down to the beach was pretty steep, making the trip down and up a little tough sometimes. Also having it be on the coast highway was a little noisy. Although it only really affected us in the mornings. I imagine if you closed the windows and used ear plugs, it would solve that problem. That being said, I would not hesitate to book this property again. It was paradise and we didn't want to leave!

Spectacular experience
Our family has just returned from spending 2 nights at this stunning property. Our experience from the initial booking until we checked out was absolutely fantastic. The home was exactly as described and it was so clean (I have high standards, so this is always something that concerns me). Our family enjoyed nights in the hot tub, playing games together, and swimming & paddle boarding. The view was incredible and it provided us with the opportunity to unwind and connect as a family. It was the PERFECT Covid staycation and worth every penny. I’ve already shared this property countless times with friends, who’ve been in awe of my FB and IG pics. Our family highly recommends Westview home. We will 1000% be back as soon as possible.

Great location, and the main space in the house is excellent. A few things that made our stay less than perfect: - As of this writing, there is a house under construction next door, was quite noisy at times -We were there on some of the warmest days of the summer and the lack of air conditioning was an issue; when we opened the windows in the bedrooms at night to cool down, noise from the road as well as talking next door made sleeping difficult - The bathroom is rather rundown compared to the rest of the house
