The experience here is more than words or pictures can explain. We enjoyed our restful evenings and were thrilled by day with all the beautiful sites nature had to offer. You truly set the standard for all Bed and Breakfasts. Our first B&B experience. It was amazing. Your attention to detail from the bedding to the patio chairs is incredible. And the food!! Out of this world. You’ve got a 5 STAR rating from us! Spectacular scenery, luxurious accommodations and the best hospitality we have seen in a long time. This was our fist experience with a B&B, and what an experience it was! The room has everything we could have possibly asked for. So luxurious and beautifully decorated. This was better than the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in…and the bed was SO comfortable!! The view and setting is spectacular! What a sight to wake up to in the morning. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality…and for being so unbelievably accommodating. The breakfasts were just fabulous…especially the eggs benedict, so good! We will most definitely be coming back and also telling all of our family and friends too! Thanks so much for such a relaxing place to stay. Our 25th wedding anniversary could not have been better! On the course of our travels throughout Europe and America we have had the pleasure of staying in some unique and special places, but what you have here surpasses them all, by far. Many thanks for setting the scene and making it a truly memorable occasion. I have high standards and your hospitality and suite surpassed it all. We had the most magnificent weekend, it was perfect! It will be an honour to recommend “A Place by the Sea” to all we can, looking forward to next time. A Place by the Sea is the most beautiful Bed and Breakfast we’ve ever experienced. Breathtaking mountain and water views. Gourmet meals delivered directly to your suite, chocolates on your pillow and luxury linens are some of my favorites. On the other side, my husband enjoyed the waking call of the float planes each morning. It’s perfect. I only wish we lived closer so that we could enjoy this more often. All the best to you both. We had an amazing time. You’ve thought of every amenity possible. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We were thrilled with your establishment from the very first time we stepped foot in our suite. In fact it surpassed our expectations. We’ll definitely see you next year. With our sincerest gratitude, The best word I can think of to describe “A Place by the Sea” is WOW!!! Never have I stayed at a place like this before or eaten the food that I have. You have truly the ultimate Bed and Breakfast. We will most definitely be back – this time for a longer stay. Thank you for everything! All we can say is “absolutely fabulous”. You have definitely raised “the bar” for getaway spots. The attention to detail is incredible, and we absolutely loved the breakfasts – especially Shay’s special bread. We absolutely loved it here and will most definitely be back. Thanks for everything! Should be voted the most romantic B&B on the continent! Lovely hosts, sensational food, beautiful and tasteful room, spectacular water view, what more can one ask for? Thank you for your hospitality – we’ll certainly pass the word. What a wonderful place you have here. On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is an 11! No detail has been forgotten. We have had the best time and will definitely be back again. Having traveled to many parts of the world, this was definitely a perfect “10” experience for us. The accommodation, quaint natural setting and fabulous breakfasts all exceeded our expectations. Your warm and friendly greetings and personalized service have made this a very memorable 10th anniversary for us. Thank you. Undoubtedly the finest Bed and Breakfast we’ve ever experienced (and there have been a few!) Your careful attention to detail, warmth and concern for your guests comfort will ensure success for years. Thank you! Thanks very much for your gracious hospitality, comfortable surroundings, and excellent food. One of the very best B&Bs we have stayed in! This is the ultimate B&B! It has everything!! The massage, the view, the accommodation, the breakfasts, and most especially, Nancy’s graciousness! Truly amazing! Everything was spectacular…the food, the suite, the view, your hospitality. We’ll look forward to coming back very soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you. On our travels over the past 20 years, we have stayed in Bed and Breakfasts all over the world and this would have to be one of the best. It’s a shame we can’t stay longer. The suite is very welcoming and the view magnificent. We will be back. You have obviously put in a lot of thought and hard work to present this pretty place. May all your dreams come true. Thank you. Must have died, because I’ve come to heaven! Awesome view, elegant suite, friendly, informative, accommodating innkeepers. My only complaints were that the food was sooooo – good. Eating regular food will be so boring now. Also, one night is not enough when you finally make it to paradise. We will be back. Thank you. We had a wonderful time relaxing and taking it easy. We couldn’t have chosen a better place! The breakfasts were fabulous! You have our vote for one of the best places to kiss! This was amazing! Everything was perfect; the bed, the view, the Jacuzzi, the heated bathroom tiles and the delicious food. It was heaven. Thank you for your incredible hospitality and for allowing us to have an unforgettable 4 year anniversary. We will be back! We have stayed in Bed and Breakfasts from California to Maine and must say A Place by the Sea is in the top notch. The decoration and special touches were most welcome. The view and peacefulness was so relaxing – far from our busy, hectic lives. The room was just as shown on the web site only better in person. We will recommend your B&B highly. Thank you so much for everything. Everything was absolutely perfect…our place, the view, the breakfasts, the kayaking…it was a weekend we will always remember. We have stayed in numerous world known resorts, hotels, inns and B&Bs and this place has definitely topped them all! We will recommend your highly and will be back again! You have thought of every detail – candles, romantic music, chocolates on our pillows, comfy couch and bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful place by the sea! The breakfasts were superb and very artistically presented. The grounds are well kept adding to the beautiful view from our deck. Thanks for all your care. This experience has been fantastic! From the first contact to check out, you have been professional, friendly and a complete pleasure! We loved our suite from the moment we walked in and all the little things were greatly appreciated from extra towels to chocolates on the pillows, to heated floors – we were pampered! And the food was excellent. Thank you so much for making our last night so memorable! This is the 6th B&B we have stayed in this summer, and this one is hands down the nicest. Packing up this morning, we did not want to leave!! I took about 20 pictures to show everyone the view and the hot tub! Good luck and we will see you again! Simply fantastic! Breathtaking! We seem to be unable to thank our hosts enough for their gracious hospitality. Between the food, the people, the scenery and the star-filled, silent nights…we could get used to living like this. Precious Maya will always have a place in our hearts. We will see you again soon. Thank you Nancy, Shay and Maya for your gracious hospitality. Everything from the quick email replies to making our dinner reservations shows your commitment to excellent friendly service and it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. We will be back, and we are already thinking of what to tell our friends that NEED the relaxing getaway that you’ve provided! This is MORE than a bed & breakfast. Thank you so much! The room was perfect, especially the Jacuzzi Tub. The breakfasts were amazing! You guys totally exceeded our expectations. Don’t change a thing. We will have no problem telling everyone we know about your beautiful place by the sea. We don’t want to leave, it’s been wonderful. We will be back! Thank you for an exceptionally superb Bed and Breakfast experience. Your home and hospitality surpassed all our expectations. We liked what we saw on your web page but when we got here we were totally blown away. An awesome home with a truly wonderful family hosting it. Thank you again. We’ve been to a few Bed and Breakfasts over the past couple years but this one is by far the best! The view, breakfasts, kayaking and massages were all great. Thanks for giving us some great nights of sleep – hope we can make it back again sometime! Your attention to detail is outstanding. The warm tile bathroom floor, the finest soft bed linens, the gourmet breakfasts, the outdoor Jacuzzi. We had such a refreshing time here in your B&B. Thank you. Fantastic! You really do provide a 5 Star service to rival any fancy hotel, except you provide a much warmer, nicer atmosphere. The view is gorgeous, the breakfasts are exquisite and the hosts……miserable. HA, HA, no just kidding! Wonderful. You also gave us some decorating ideas for our house! Thanks for a wonderful warm weekend getaway! Thank you so much for following your dreams and creating this amazing retreat. You are truly an inspiration to others and have proven you can have it all! We fell in love with this room and the 2 person tub was great. We will be back for the luxurious accommodation, peaceful setting, scrumptious breakfast and outstanding company. This was our first experience at a Bed and Breakfast and from the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. The room is so beautiful and romantic, the breakfasts simply wonderful. You have built something very special here and we will be sure to let everyone know about this Majestic place. The food, the suite, the innkeepers, all absolutely phenomenal!! Thanks for everything. P.S. the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Thank you for your first class service. We had a WONDERFUL time! The only thing wrong is that we have to leave. Breakfast was amazing. The view is amazing. The hosts are amazing. We feel totally pampered and can’t wait to come back for a longer stay. Thank you Nancy and Shay for creating simply the best B&B we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Everything is first class and very tastefully done. A beautiful setting, lovely accommodations, wonderful breakfasts…..we’ll be back! From the moment we stepped into the hall and peered into the suite, we, I, knew this was too good to be true. Your wonderfully exquisite Bed and Breakfast has been an immense gift of relaxation, gluttony and pure pampering. From the “condo-style” B&B, with the DVD player and complimentary selection of movies, to the en suite Jacuzzi tub, sauna and fabulous outdoor hot tub, which we thoroughly enjoyed – this has been by far the most amazing and relaxing Bed and Breakfast – ever! Nancy and Shay, you have outdone yourselves and there is without a doubt many more years of success to come. Goodbye Sunshine Coast! Goodbye A Place by the Sea……until next time…. |
This place is all about peace and relaxation…thank you. It was just what we were craving. The room is so adorable and cozy, the breakfasts simply amazing and you have done a fabulous job with the decks, gazebo, beach, etc. We had a chance to enjoy it all! The bonfire on the beach and the breathtaking view were highlights for us. Great hospitality…thank you! You are perfectionists, so we just put ourselves in your hands and trusted your expertise – boat ride, breakfasts, hot tub, sea salt glow, seaweed wrap, massage, and dinner out. How divine to be pampered to such a degree. As a commercial traveler, I have stayed in so many coastal hotels and B&Bs – you have done an exceptional job! Thanks so much. We must congratulate you in creating a truly exceptional retreat. Your attention to detail is, in our experience, second to none. We wish you all the best in the future. We came for one night and had to extend our stay after being treated like kings and Queens. The massages, the sauna and the service were beyond words….We hope to come back in the summer for some kayaking. I wish we didn’t have to leave. When we decided to book our two days short getaway with your romantic and stunning B&B, we didn’t know we were about to experience the best time of our life. My wife Mina and I would like to thank you for your hospitality and kindness. We definitely would recommend this place to all our friends. My husband and I are so grateful for the most beautiful setting in which to reconnect. You have exceeded our wildest imagination and provided a warm and luxurious room to spend time relaxing. Thank you. When was the last time you did something for the first time? This was our first visit to B.C., our first visit to the Sunshine Coast and our first time in a Canadian Bed and Breakfast. And what a B&B! This place is superb. The attention to detail, the great breakfasts and the genuine and sincere hospitality are all wonderful. Nancy, Shay and the beautiful Maya, continue to live your dream and many thanks for letting us share it for a few days. As we leave to return to Scotland, I’m sure this won’t be the last time we stay at this piece of paradise. This place is exquisite, the attention to detail in the breakfasts, the décor in the room and the layout of your B&B is incredible. We will most definitely be telling all our friends back home about your lovely place and hope to return for another relaxing weekend sometime soon! Thank you for making our honeymoon so wonderful. Your hospitality and friendliness go above and beyond the call of duty. Your willingness to book activities was a great touch. We loved the food and the service. Most of all, we loved having a place where we could simply be together in a quiet and lovely setting as we begin our new lives as husband and wife. We’ll be back and we’ll recommend this wonderful place to many people. What a class act! Your style, tasted, and attention to detail have made our stay unforgettable. So relaxing with the wonderful fluffy bedding and the hot tub and Jacuzzi in the suite, we couldn’t decide what was best. We will be back! The music was beautiful, the heated floors heavenly, fire place, candles and dimmer switches provided a wonderfully romantic atmosphere, the view incredibly peaceful, your hospitality superb and the food was awesome. To share this escape with our closest friends and have the entire place to ourselves mad this the ideal weekend. We look forward to experiencing it again. Thank you for such a beautiful weekend. This suite is absolutely perfect! Breakfast, your hospitality and all your facilities were beyond our expectations. Thank you for a perfect, relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back. Thank you ever so much for everything and for making my birthday so memorable. Everything was perfect including the warm greeting when we arrived and let’s not forget the breakfasts. We both loved everything and are looking forward to our next visit. To sum everything up in one word…….WOW!!! You had a dream. You had a vision. You saw a diamond in the rough and together you made it shine beautifully! Thank you for sharing it with us. Nancy and Shay, you are fabulous hosts! The praise in these pages is justly deserved. Thank you for this wonderful oasis and for making our 30th anniversary very memorable. We can’t thank you enough for the perfect time we had at your B&B. The accommodations, food, amenities, the spectacular view and of course you both helped to create a memory we will cherish for years to come. We look forward to coming back and will share you with our friends. Thank you again. You have a wonderful place, the views are breathtaking, and breakfasts superb! We enjoyed a great little kayaking journey during the day, and excellent stone therapy massage, and cuddled up on the couch to watch a movie. I can’t think of a better way to spend time with a loved one. Thank you for making our 11th anniversary one to remember. I write this as I sit in front of a roaring bonfire (built by Shay), surrounded by the beauty of the Sechelt sunset, in the company of the man of my dreams and a delicious glass of white chardonnay in my hand. Paradise! It is our last night at A Place by the Sea and the entire experience will be treasured in our hearts forever. Nancy and Shay outdid themselves with kindness, unique touches, great food and wonderful surroundings. We will be back to enjoy that fire once again… What can we say that we haven’t already? One year later after our wedding we have returned to find, if possible, this place to be even better than we remembered. Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality, friendship and for dreaming up such a wonderful place. We will be back again and again. Once again it is hard leaving such a beautiful place. You have made our stay very memorable as we have gotten to know you better. You are good people and we are glad to call you friends and look forward to seeing you next year. What makes a place truly special is the attention to detail. You have certainly accomplished this from the decorating, the delicious breakfasts and having all the things available that we might need. We loved our getaway and will definitely come back. Nancy and Shay, you are truly gracious hosts. Thank you. Once again a wonderful nights’ stay. It is so nice to be traveling on business and yet feel so at home. This is by far the best Bed and Breakfast I have stayed in from the accommodations to the view, food and all the little extras! Well done! We had a most wonderful weekend. The room was even nicer than it looks on the internet. The scenery on the boat trip was spectacular. Nancy and Shay, It never ceases to amaze us how incredibly in tune you are with your guests. You certainly know how to make 2 days feel like a week and a half of rest and peace. Can’t wait until our next getaway. You should really rename this place from “A Place by the Sea” to “A Place Next to Heaven”! It was truly divine to spend 3 days of solitude and privacy in this Haven. It was nice to come home to our private sauna and hot tub! A great place to celebrate our 30th anniversary! Thank you, thank you, thank you – we have had the most wonderful peaceful, relaxing stay! The bed was so comfortable, the hosts incredible and fun and the breakfasts fabulous. We wish you the best of luck and we will be returning!! Nancy and Shay, Thank you for making our stay so fabulous. This is paradise, nature at its finest! Your warm smiles and friendly personalities make this beautiful bed and breakfast a couple’s romantic dream. This place is what dreams are made of. Thank you for your hospitality and attention to detail. It’s obvious that you enjoy what you do and have a natural talent for it. We leave very relaxed and probably five pounds heavier. Kayak lessons and clam digging next time! Nancy and Shay, Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality! We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing, carefree honeymoon! We loved our suite, the breakfasts, the boat cruise and especially the massages!! We can’t wait to come back again soon. Thanks for everything! Our first night’s stay on the beautiful Sunshine Coast was totally relaxing and unforgettable. Your friendly hospitality is second to none. And when you include that breakfast – WOW!! You have a beautiful spot and everything was immaculate. Thank you very much for all your efforts. It was much appreciated. This is one of the most picture perfect scenes. It is breathtaking. What a beautiful place to have an anniversary. The breakfast excellent. You people have personality plus. We cannot express the beauty here. We are impressed with your attention to details. The room is tastefully decorated, the bed – comfortable, the breakfast is tasty and you are so kind. Thanks for the ultimate B&B experience. You’ve exceeded our expectations! We really enjoyed your restaurant recommendations and watching DVDs from your collection. You have it all! And so wonderful that you are willing to share it with the rest of the world. Your attention to every detail – who could ask for more? Thank you so much for such a wonderful weekend and awesome breakfasts. We will return. What at treasure you are sharing! We had an extraordinary time – from the hot tub to the magnificent view – breathtaking! First class hospitality. Great memories will always be with us. Jen and I had an incredible time! The beautiful room, fantastic view and great breakfasts and the wonderful fishing excursion. Thank you both for your genuine hospitality and attention to detail all the way. We chose to spend our 45th wedding anniversary at "A Place By The Sea" at Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast. It is a great place for gallery hopping and walks on the ocean any time of year. We reserved the Sea Breeze Suite, which was truly immaculate and luxurious with a wonderful view of Porpoise Bay and the mountains. Nancy and Shay Moudahi were our very attentive hosts and made sure all of our needs were anticipated. They offered restaurant coupons, sauna and hot tub, and massage and of course scrumptious breakfasts. There was an endless choice of music and movies to enjoy by the fire and an exceptionally comfortable bed. The breakfasts included fresh fruit and pastries followed by gourmet entrees. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi with a spectacular view as well. It was a perfect place for that time away with the best mix of privacy and friendly service. The setting has something to offer for all seasons with a great private beach and dock for summer and a scene of snowy mountings a cosy fire in the winter. We will definitely be back. WOW! You really have the hospitality thing down to a fine art. Our stay was seamlessly pleasurable. Thank you so much! |
