Family hotels and homes in Sointula

The suite dubbed "stand-alone" was ideal for me. I was mesmerized as just how close to the water that the deck was - I could hear waves lapping on the rocks with the sliding door closed. The queen bed was clean and comfortable and the suite well-equipped. An updated hot plate negated any real need for a stove - there isn't space for one anyway. Full washroom. Good enough internet and a great TV. A useful selection of literature weeks before your stay re:suggested hikes etc. is easily accessed. Your Host is very responsive and will send you a text with tips. ie. Bikes for rent locally and how to utilize the ferry strategically and cheaply. I had 6 sailings for a grand total of $11.60. ie. Any travel between islands is technically free. And, ... the drinking water is just fine. A 700 m (10 minute walk to Burger Barn - a local favourite) With planning, flexibility, and maybe good luck, you can quickly slow down - shrug your shoulders - the fog will lift. Become an islander.

only one word: AMAZING. My family and I enjoyed the accommodation so much! Apart from the fact that the building itself (partly an old church, partly an old school) is incredibly beautiful and has been furnished and restored with great attention to detail, the hosts were super friendly and accommodating! We learned a lot about Alert Bay and even though the island is very small, you can still experience so much here. The islanders are also very friendly and always up for a good chat. Overall a great stay, we would have liked to stay a little longer to explore the neighboring islands from there. And of course it should be mentioned that we could even see whales from the beach!

Larry is a great guy who is always willing to share some insight about the island and the goings-on about town.
