We live above the unit but are quiet and respectful of our guests. The unit has free Wi-Fi and is right on the busline for carless travelers. It is self-catering but we do like to bake and will often have fresh, homemade goodies for guests.

Where you’ll be

Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada

The Sunshine Coast, although part of mainland BC, is a beautiful area that has a bit of laid-back island-esque charm.

With a view of the sound, our vacation rental is located in a unique place between upper and lower Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. In either direction, we are within walking distance of many of the shops, restaurants, and pubs that give this small fishing village its local character. Well, as long as you don't mind a little hike!

From the famous Molly's Reach restaurant from 'The Beachcomber' TV series to the tasty treats of Sandy's Bake Shoppe, the best of the Coast is only a few minutes away. In Upper Gibsons, there are grocery stores, thrift shops, a single-showing movie house, and even a curling rink -- all just a short walk or a few minutes drive away.

In addition to walking, Gibsons offers the outdoor enthusiast their choice of adventure during the summer. From kayaking to sailboating to SUPs, hitting the water is easy with the marina a short distance away.

If you are into shopping and looking for that special unique item, Gibsons has several stores to strike your fancy, including Swish and Whimsy in lower Gibsons.

The Sunshine Coast is known for its art and hosts an Art Crawl (October). The region has the most artist per capita out of Canada. The 'Purple Banner Route' (Summer) allows visitors to drop in and see jewelers, potters, painters and photographers in their studio. Plus, there are a number of galleries located in lower Gibsons, plus the museum.

There are an assortment of pubs and restaurants for your dining pleasure, including the Persephone Brewing Company on North Road, Gibsons Tapworks in Lower Gibsons and Blackfish pub in upper Gibsons.

The true beauty of the area comes from the laid back, comfortable nature of the region. The people you pass on the street will say hello and everyone is charming. It's a place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with yourself.

Hello! Our names are Mike and Weegee and we are the proud owners of the Sweet Start B&B. The two of us are actually imports from Portland Oregon where we met on a dragon boat. Once our padding obsession had run its course, we decided to embark on our next great adventure -- life north of the border. We packed up and moved to Canada in 2011. From Commercial Drive to the Sunshine Coast, our time in British Columbia has been a great adventure that I (Weegee) routinely blog about.

The two of us work from home (I am a backyard coffee roaster, my husband is a computer software engineer). Which means we get to enjoy the little things that Gibsons has to offer like a midday treat at the local bakeries. We walk almost everywhere and can be seen exploring coastal towns hand in hand.
