The Horizon Suite - Oceanfront Luxury on the Sunshine Coast of BC

Sechelt STR #20118986

Escape to the Horizon Suite, an oceanfront retreat where all you hear is the sound of the waves. Just a 35-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, this coastal getaway offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and serenity.

Your Space:
With approximately 2,000 square feet of open, light-filled living space, the Horizon Suite features 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, and 3.5 bathrooms—plenty of room to gather, relax, and unwind. Enjoy a spacious living room, a large ocean-view deck, and everything you need for a perfect getaway

Outdoor living is effortless with a natural gas firepit, Broil-King barbecue with a searing grill, and two infrared patio heaters for year-round enjoyment. Inside, a fully equipped kitchen awaits, complete with a blender, food processor, slow cooker, microwave, mixer, and every pot and pan you could need for family dinners or sunset happy hours.

Suite Setup:
The Horizon Suite occupies the entire upper level of the home. It is a completely private, self-contained suite with its own entrance and is securely locked off from the lower level. Guests have full and exclusive access to the top floor, all outdoor spaces, and amenities.

There is a long-term renter in the separate lower suite, as required under District of Sechelt bylaws and Provincial Short-Term Rental regulations. The tenant serves as the local operator and does not share any guest areas.

Set at the end of a private 200-foot driveway with 100 feet of south-facing waterfront, the Horizon Suite is one of the Sunshine Coast’s rare oceanfront properties with no highway noise—just peace, nature, and ocean air.

Watch sea otters, seals, bald eagles, and even the occasional orca from the enormous glass-front deck or stroll down to your own rocky Pacific Northwest beach to launch a kayak or paddleboard. As evening falls, gather by the firepit and take in a breathtaking Sunshine Coast sunset.

Outdoor adventures are endless: hiking, cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and snowshoeing or cross-country skiing at Dakota Ridge, just 45 minutes away. Town is an easy 5-minute drive for restaurants, shops, and essentials.
