About this property

Pointhouse at Sargeant Bay-Dramatic architecture to match stunning oceanfront

Nestled into the granite of a south facing point surrounded by sea, the location of this spectacular home is rated extreme oceanfront. You’d have to be sailing to be any closer.

Extensive glazing frames the amazing views and reinforces the sense of intimacy with nature. Gaze out to sea, peer into the rainforest, or observe wildlife up close. Listen to waves break on the shore and eagles chittering in the treetops. Smell the fragrance of cedar seasoned with the tang of salty air.

Designed for privacy and fashioned with the timeless look of a classic yacht, three amazing staterooms evoke a luxury small ship cruise experience. Each bedroom contains a spa style ensuite (2 have steam showers), soaker tubs, gas fireplaces, private decks, infloor heating and 42' TVs.

A well equipped gourmet kitchen as well as a large covered outdoor kitchen make the property suitable for gourmet weekends or for intimate weddings or events.

The lower living room and lounge forms the prow of the ship and opens to a large oceanfront deck. Crisp white surfaces and beautiful custom walnut cabinetry reinforce the nautical feel with lots of ship shape storage for a clean, modern look.

Private beach, mooring buoy and seasonal dock allow easy access for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or arriving by boat. Expansive multi-level decks, balconies, gardens and nooks along the shore afford many options to enjoy some sea air. Beachcomb right off the deck or at Sargeant Bay Provincial Park a short walk from the property.

Centrally located 35 minutes from the ferry, close to the shops, restaurants and galleries in Sechelt and equidistant from the spectacular harbors of Gibsons and Pender. Enjoy wonderful boating, bike trails, walks, fishing, golf, close by.

Perfect for a family vacation, multi-couple holiday, girls getaway, or a foodie weekend. Optional enhancements for your stay such as massage, private chef's dinners, or other special packages can be arranged as well as wedding or elopement packages. The Pointhouse can also be experienced as a hosted B&B stay if it's just the two of you needing a recharging retreat. Storm watching is a bonus in the off season though our temperate climate offers year round options for recreation.

'The Aerie, a detached self-contained 1 bdrm, 2 bath guesthouse, is situated on a private bluff above the Pointhouse. It can be rented separately or in addition for extra capacity. Family and pet friendly.

A new multi-purpose studio constructed from shipping containers also graces the estate property. Exercise, yoga, dance ,massage, art or extra self-catering guest accommodations. Compact kitchen, bathroom and mezzanine/loft area for extra work or lounginging space. Can also be rented separately or in addition to the other homes on the property.

The Annex, another 3 bedroom oceanview kid/pet friendly home on a nearby property works well for holidays with family or friends.

Three generation family vacation
This was an unbelievable property for our three generation, extended family vacation. The waterfront location on a protected bay makes for fabulous swimming, fishing, SUPing and the views are stunning. I would never tire of the view!!! The house is very well equipped. We appreciated that there were lots of glasses/dishes/cutlery for our large group, lots of interesting places to sit outside either together or in small groups, and lots of games, interesting magazines and books to read! Heather and Bob are wonderful hosts and were very responsive. Their in-person introduction to the house on our arrival was very helpful. The unique design of the house makes for lots of sitting areas for good family times. This truly was a special vacation!

Sunshine Coast Trip
Heather and Bob were great managers. They have done a beautiful job thinking of your every need. Our house was perfectly planned for three couples or family. We had a very relaxing time and loved the views from every point. I would highly recommend this place.

Not sure there is a more stunning location
Half Moon Bay is magical and Heather's home is absolutely spectacular. Wonderful space for multiple couples to spread out. The view from my bed was like none other! A few glitches but Heather was very responsive and made every attempt to make our stay comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Newman

Host profile image
We bought the property in Dec 2005 as our future retirement home while we were still residing and working in Dawson Creek, BC. It was a successful vacation rental till Feb 2010 when we began a complete reconstruction of the main house and built a new guesthouse (Aerie) on the bluff above.
We made the move to the Sunshine Coast full time in January 2011 living first in the Aerie guesthouse and finally in Jun 2012, the expanded and renovated Pointhouse. The Pointhouse operates as a boutique B&B most of the time but is available for select vacation rentals throughout the year as well as special occasions such as small weddings, meetings or other events.
With the interesting guests from all over the world and a busy schedule of physician locums, retirement is still a ways off. Fortunately, life on the coast is a more relaxed pace allowing us more playtime, family time and travel opportunities.

Why they chose this property

There are very few properties like this anywhere on the coast where you can experience true oceanfront living and such an intimate connection with nature. Exceptionally private and surrounded by water, we feel as if we're living our own luxury cruise ship. Rugged headlands, driftwood strewn beaches, ancient trees, moss, rocks, wildlife add another dimension to life on the water.

What makes this property unique

Privacy and incredible views from every vantage. You'll feel intimately connected to nature and the ocean surrounding you. Private beach access and waterfront nooks as well as the neighbouring Sargeant Bay Provincial Park with lovely shingle and sand beach fronting a marsh and bird sanctuary. Upland park trails connect with the vast network of hiking and mountain biking routes that extend up and down the coast.
