About this property

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.

Tidal Dance
We had a great stay at Tidal Dance. Laura and John were lovely, were very accommodating and answered all of our questions. We went for a morning paddle every day with our children which was fantastic.

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.

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.

Hidden Gem Tidal Dance
Laura was wonderful from the moment we arrived- with homemade sweet’s waiting for us. The property was exceptionally clean, with very comfortable furniture and a great layout for guests. Tidal Dance is so quiet and peaceful- we’ll definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Maddalozzo

Host profile image
John and I have been visiting the Sunshine Coast for 15 years, so it was no surprise we chose to retire to this community. We are outdoor enthusiasts: kayaking, hiking, mountain biking are just a few of the sports we enjoy. We love to travel and explore new cultures, languages and cuisine. We welcome you to our private, landscaped retreat.

Why they chose this property

John and I only moved to the Sunshine Coast five years ago, but it feels like we've always called this home. We are blessed to have a property that offers both water and trail activities right from our front door. And it is a pleasure to wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and the cascading waters of Homesite Creek against the backdrop of Crown forest lands. The colours and tides and wildlife are always changing, so you never tire of the view. We think we've won the lottery!

What makes this property unique

BBQ up some burgers on the grill, grab a craft beer and dine al fresco on your heated private deck so you can gaze at the wildlife and scenic view.
