We spent the Memorial Day weekend at the Belle Vue Bed and Breakfast. It is a spacious home perched on the coast, overlooking the Georgia Strait, and surrounded by flowers. Walter and Haideh (pronounced like "Heidi") are the hosts, and are friendly, funny, and know how to make you feel comfortable and welcome. As dog lovers, we also had the chance to play with their two retrievers, Tip and Pocos. (We spent far too much time on the beach, throwing tennis balls into the surf, and watching the dogs race after them and bring them back.) Don't miss the food! Haideh and Walter use many local ingredients to create tasty meals for you. (I really enjoyed the zucchini jam, and the herb-mixture that Haideh used on the eggs!) The B&B can be a bit difficult to find -- be sure to bring your GPS. But it is well worth the trip! Plan to spend several days there -- once you begin to relax, you really won't want to leave too soon! read more

A bit late writing this one as our stay was in the beginning of December. The service was just fantastic. Location is excellent. Amenities, plentiful. Quiet B&B tucked away in a cove. Hot tub, large bed, feather pillows, amazing tub for two, excellent hosts, Haideh and Walter, two friendly retrievers (Pocos and Tip) as friends! It was wonderful. Walter's breakfasts were delicious and creative, Haideh's passion for a "shot of health" juice in the morning, the interesting conversations in the morning... such a wonderful stay. The house is decorated with the eclectic eye of a world traveler, the VHS collection and the VCR in the bedroom was a hilarious and entertaining throwback, Walter's spontaneous singing while he tends the kitchen - all of these character elements make this place a pleasant and very comfortable departure from the norm. Lastly, while arranging this surprise weekend for us, my fiancée noted to them that we were planning our stay as a way of celebrating our recent engagement and rather than reply with "we're closed for the season" - they opened up their home for us in the off-season. We only found this out later during breakfast on the second day.... and they were quite modest about the fact. They simply stated "it was too special an occasion to *not* have us stay." It was a touching cap to the stay. We'll be back for certain. read more
