First, the quaintness of the front of the place I loved! The manager was very accommodating and friendly 😁 we booked for one night then stayed one more before we went back to the mainland…the room was perfect for us and the view of the Georgia Strait ocean was stellar!!! We like to whale watch and I being from the States wanted to watch the Super Bowl! It was a room with a view absolutely perfect for us! Thank you Buena Vista by the Sea from room 105…❤️ The pic of the Premiere Room on the website is for real 🤩

The best part is we were able to watch the northern lights from the comfort of the backyard!! Sparkling clean room with a beautiful beach view. Kitchen was very well equipped, internet was perfect for 2 people working remotely. The little garden was in pristine condition, and we enjoyed the quick access to the beach. Several great restaurants nearby.

Beautiful room with a great balcony and kitchen. There is a large shared deck and garden overlooking the ocean. Great location if looking to enjoy the beach, and within walking distance of a few restaurants.

We enjoyed staying at Buena Vista by the Sea and felt that the quality and condition of the property was in line with what we paid for it. The kitchen was fully functional and had everything you needed to be self-catering. We had a larger unit on the lower level which meant that there was a smaller unit above us. Unfortunately, the quality of the materials used to construct the floor above us was poor so you could hear every footstep like it was a herd of elephants and every movement of furniture, including the chairs of the patio reverberated through our unit. It drove me crazy and I would have readily traded our larger unit for the smaller unit upstairs so I didn’t have to tolerate the noise. I recommend this place but only if you get a unit on the 2nd level.
