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.

Excellent stay
This is a beautiful place, and the cottage, attached on one side to the owner's home but completely private, is spacious, very well-equipped, and the host is very helpful. Sechelt with shopping is close. We used the cottage as a base for hiking the many nearby parks, but it also provides kayaks, canoe and rowboat for trips down the inlet.

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.

The location was perfect for a quiet get-a-way. My adult daughter wanted to try paddle boarding but could not navigate the drop off to the tidal basin nor the climb back up the steep embankment. The winding path was very lovely and beautiful. The accommodations were more than adequate. Hint - - - a hold bar would be MOST helpful when stepping out of the shower.

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.

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.

Great Property
We enjoyed our stay at the Tidal Dance. It was quiet and secluded suite and had great access to the water. There were hikes nearby and we were able to paddleboard everyday. It was clean and well-stocked for cooking.

Tranquil one week stay Aug 20 - 27/22
The owners, Laura and John, were very nice and afforded us our privacy. The property (suite) was immaculate and was stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The only thing I would comment on, is that if someone has mobility issues the path down to the water is somewhat of a challenge. There is, however, a beautiful beach, CoopersGreen just a 5 minute drive away where we went almost everyday. There is also a little store also 5 minutes away. This property is only a 10 - 15 minute drive to the quaint little town of Sechelt and 25 - 30 minutes to Gibsons. Overall, we had a lovely stay. Sheena and Robert Cacchioni
