About this property

Casa Mar Vista: Breathtaking Coastal Views & Relaxing Getaway for All Ages

Spacious Casa Mar Vista (~1000 square feet inside + lots of deck space outside) has one of the most breath-taking views on the Sunshine Coast.

We are nestled a few minutes walk up from the beach in Hopkins Landing and only 1 Km from the nearby Langdale ferry terminal. You can arrive as a walk-on or ride-on ferry passenger to reach this beautiful getaway. You can even pull up to the Hopkins Landing wharf in your own boat and walk up to the house. Hopkins Landing beach features Gibsons’ only sandy beach, ideal for anytime of the year for relaxation by the water, or for romantic evening walks at sunrise or sunset.

Your kids (or the kid in you!) will enjoy exploring the path adjacent to the beach, where they’ll find tree houses to climb that are nestled in the remnant trunks of old majestic cedars or hiking/mountain biking in the nearby rain forests.

Downtown lower Gibsons is home to the historically acclaimed television series “The Beachcombers”, loaded with coffee shops, a variety of great restaurants which includes Molly’s Reach, and plenty of knick-knack shops which is only 4 km away from Casa Mar Vista. If you don’t want to drive or have left the car back home, a public transit bus stop is on Marine Drive immediately beside the property to get to Lower Gibsons, Roberts Creek, and Sechelt.

Best vaccation ever :-)
We really loved this house! It is spacious, very well equipped, cosy, clean. And indeed, there is nothing to add what all other guests had mentioned to the stanning view!

Beautiful View
The house was as advertised, great view, close to many activities and the ferry. As advertised, the parking is a little tricky, but we got used to it. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Michael was very good at communicating with us. Although the listing states that there is a downstairs resident, that issue deserves a couple of comments. First, the night we arrived she parked blocking both available spaces and claimed that she did not know anyone was staying upstairs. She moved her car but was not happy. Second, and more important, is that she is a heavy-smoker. When she was smoking on the patio downstairs, her smoke came directly up into our area. On at least two occasions, we had to go inside because the smoke was intolerable. If we had not been out and about until late in the evening on many occasions, we would have wanted to spend more time on the patio and would not have been able to do so because of the smoke. You should also be aware that, in addition to cigarettes, she smoked pot, the smell of which drifted up to our patio. If it were not for this neighbor, we would have given the house five stars.

Spectacular views
The sunshine coast is stunning and this property really takes advantage of the views. The hosts are also very responsive. I ran into payment problems using the VRBO app, but Michael Gannon worked with me and VRBO to figure out what was wrong. Once the issue was resolved, my friend and I were able to relax and enjoy our weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Ozgur

Host profile image
Michael is from the West Coast (via Chile) and Ozgur is from Turkey originally. We have both traveled the world and prefer staying at vacation rental places whenever/wherever is possible.

We are community-oriented people; love meeting new people from all corners of life. We enjoy mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, arts and photography which you get the best of all here on the Sunshine Coast! As avid travelers & parents to small children, we know what families look for while vacationing: very clean, comfortable and enjoyable place for all generations with less breakables, books, toys & board games to keep little ones occupied and a fully equipped kitchen with everything necessary for cooking where you can make yourself 'home' - away from home :)

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it offers so many lifestyle options for us. There is so much to do in the area for us and our children. When we want to do nothing, we can just stare out forever at the magical view, even during the storm!

What makes this property unique

It is walking distance to the ferry (8-10 minutes). Downtown Vancouver is ~1.5 hours away from our doorstep, which includes the ferry ride and an express bus right downtown. We love having access to the beach -- long walks, playing in the sand & tree-houses with our boys, kayaking to nearby islands, beach-combing, hiking & excellent mountain biking. Gibsons Landing is only 4 km away. We can zoom into town in minutes to grab a hot coffee and croissant, catch a movie, or go for dinner at a bunch of great restaurants.
