GARDEN BRIDGE HOUSE: The absolute majestic diamond of the…read moreSunshine coast of British Columbia. Everything about this home speaks to its absolutely uncompromising desire to give clients nothing but the highest of quality in but physical amenities as well as personal service provided. The antique mahogany hand crafted and absolutely mirror chocolate stain is awash with the settling of the late afternoons golden warmpth (which was by no means an accident of design I'm sure). It washes the deep dark chocolate stained top of the magnificent dining table with a lustrous warm radiance. It appears somehow to move with the interplay of shadows., Birds and clouds as well as the flashing of light off the tops of the near un-seeably small waves it simply a trick of the light. How many marriages begun in these old regal chairs. How many pregnancy announcements has it bore witness to? It appears so strong and eternal in its spot before the atrium. As though the house was Boult around it. It had always been here. Shimmering, awaiting it's next bookmark in time. Engagement announcement? Acceptance to the program of so many hopes and aspirations? Each mattress is almost seductivly comfortable and you can tell that their budget for the beds was without a ceiling, as should be the case with far more regularity when people ready a space for vacation rentals. The kitchen has everything you would ever need. Bunt pans to Apple corers. You could cator for 12 no problem in this spacious kitchen with it's top of the line chrome appliances nestled into its MASSIVE continuous slab granite (or perhaps) Black Marble countertops. In the living room an astonishing vision of natural elements communes with today's slick and reflective contemporary elements with surprising harmony. An antique table before the continuous bank of southerly windows that goes directly across the house in nearly uninterrupted soft illumination. The New yet somehow retro looking sofa, with it's soft white hide, you will discober it reclines with mild shock. You have no idea what inspired TT he back to go down. Finally you discover finger sensors located by your thigh and the fun begins! The absolutely massive deck (which is in all honesty larger and more comfortable than 90% of the paces I've stayed. This property is set apart in countless ways to the other 99.9% of the places to rent out there. It's in the quality of both design and furnishings such as the locally sourced and hand crafted kitchen cabinets of absolute jaw dropping classic beauty. As well as the proprietors rare comprehension regarding what is and what is not Important in the design of a vacation rental. The Mattress is so comfortable. I didn't miss my bed the night at Garden Bridge House. For the first time in as long as I can recall. I did not wake at 3 wishing I was home. They see that and address it by minimizing the possibility of my discontentment. Location location location! If there's something you need it's likely here. If it's a rate item they do not have the mall is a 6 minute drive! Another subtle element that differentiates Garden Bridge House from the masses. Is it's both completely open (Sun bathes this home from morning till evening). Yet it remains cool inside. You can feel completely free of prying eyes as the right side of house and back is a forest. To the left they can not see into your world. At GBH you can completely relax and enjoy the unrestricted personal freedom. There are house rules but they're standard Also, and I'm certain to get a hearty HURAH!!! with my next point. Juliet and Nasir (the home proprioteers, are so gentle and kind. The are sincere in their wanting for you to enjoy the stay. The are genuine and amazingly kind people.

From the owner: For families and groups of 8 or less that includes 4 private rooms…read more Garden Bridge House is right across the street from the beach! the city center, parks, art and culture, great views, restaurants and dining.We offer an amazing ambiance, top quality furnishings and bedding. The entrance is shared with Juliet, who resides in a private suite completely separate in the downstairs. She is rarely there. Your space is extremely separate and private. Magnificent views, decks, Luxury Kitchen and Bath.

Really wanted to like this place but one thing that is a plus would be a walk across the street to…read morethe pier and you can see the gulf of Georgia. Do not get room 100 or 101. It's like a basement, dungeon type of feeling. There were water damaged marks on the ceiling and some mildew odor. I think the other part was that this room faces the seating area where the hotel restaurant was so you hear the noise and they can see you (if you dont have your blackouts and screen on) from the outside. When asked to change the room, they said they were fully booked. 5-7pm they have popsicles for the kids Also, on the website it mentioned you can get 2 hours of free kayak rental but the weekend we were there, they had a wedding so it was not open. Lame! When asked to speak to the manager, they put you on hold on the phone and then wait and they will say they spoke to the manager but in fact they did not because I was standing right in the lobby.

Great place to stay, especially if you want a view of the ocean. All rooms face the bay which is…read morereally nice. The only drawback is there is no elevator. But it is only two levels. Just pack light or request for ground floor if you have mobility issue. I don't think this was mentioned in their website. I wish I knew about it as I am recovering from an accident and still working on my strength. Lucky I only had an overnight bag so I could manage the stairs. I didn't request for daily cleaning since I was only there for 2 nights. I did overhear the staff telling a customer they don't vacuum the room and only change the towels. The customer was complaining the room was not cleaned at all. So something to take note of. My room was clean when I checked in. Otherwise the room is pretty good. I had a nice view of the pier though it was partially blocked by the tree outside. The AC could be more powerful. The sun does make the room warmer when the temperature outside is 23-25c. I love the bee kind range of amenities. They are nice. I also like the rain shower and handheld shower options. The front desk staff are friendly and they will also call the room to check if you need anything before they knock off for the night. There is no 24 hours reception here. I like the coffee machine in the lobby as it has more choices. Just have to wait till 8am when the reception is open. When the AC is turned on, I can't hear anything. But when it is turned off, I can hear voices from other rooms. But at night it is quite ok. No loud noises from inside or outside. I didn't really hear the traffic outside despite it being the highway. I will definitely stay here again. And you will need to car to get around Sunshine Coast easily. Only a few restaurants and shops in the area so you will definitely be going out and about. There is a bus stop next door though.

My google review was removed but see all the 4 photos here. This is the exchange. You will notice…read morethat I have a few "Response to Owner:" texts. This is because Ali Yearley lied there at the bottom trying to remove the rwview with google even though it is 100% valid. She said things like "Well, (My legal name - illegal!) I'm glad this is bothering you this many months later." Well, since the woman actually telephoned me whining to take down the review because she knows her snide responses were actually illegal, I have contacted the entire Holywell company as well as the different landlord/tenant areas of government and advocay groups so this information is out there. I want to post the review here but Google has an issue with the same reviews on multiple sites. So PLEASE, see photos.

Unquestionably, one of the most distasteful experiences of my life…read more All of these events are documented. Imagine being in a video conference with the head of a faculty at UBC, and having one's work interrupted by a call from the daughter of your landlord wondering if there was any mail for her at the house we had just rented through Holywell? Imagine working remotely, and having these sorts of work disruptions just being a routine occurrence until you insist that Holywell intervene, and they do so reluctantly. Imagine having the sole and exclusive use of a rental property by law, and discovering that your Landlord, his sister, the landlord's daughter, and the daughter's mother-in-law and partner are also claiming the address as their primary residence. Imagine having your Landlord's ICBC renewal notice, and voting registration, arrive in the mail, despite the fact that he is a permanent resident of a city a day's drive away. Imagine having his daughter's ICBC and CERB cheques arriving in the mail. Imagine having the Landlord's sister's ICBC renewal arriving in the mail, and mail from the daughter's inlaws. Imagine trying to explain the legal ramifications of this deceit to Holywell, and being greeted by indifference. Imagine explaining to them how this situation could impact our credit rating and standing with ICBC, and being fobbed off by Holywell. Imagine a stream of random strangers arriving unannounced at the door, there to attend to routine maintenance, yet with zero forewarning, and having to quickly contact Holywell to ascertain the authority of these individuals. Imagine inviting one's mother to stay for the weekend after her cancer surgery, and receiving a notice from Holywell at precisely 4pm on a Friday announcing a mid-tenancy inspection for Sunday. Imagine having a full property inspection occurring at the height of the pandemic with full travel restrictions in place, and amendments in the RTA prohibiting that activity, and Holywell disregarding all of it. Despite the legal authority only extending to the landlord to perform a property inspection, imagine discovering that your landlord has chosen to make it a family-style outing, and has invited his wife, daughter, and the daughter's husband along for the occasion. Despite it violating the RTA, imagine witnessing your landlord taking taking photographs of the rental, including your personal possessions. Imagine witnessing your landlord and family not following any of the health protocols despite leaving hand sanitizer. The rental was only a short-term arrangement, lasting ten months. However, there were few instances when my partner and I weren't treated like two irresponsible teenagers smoking pot and listening to Black Sabbath, despite both of us being middle-aged professionals. How did it end? Imagine arranging to vacate the property by July first, and the movers having to cancel at the last moment, as the phenomenal heat wave was baking the province, making all such labour a health hazard. Now, imagine being in this unenviable position, and asking permission to extend our move-out date by a day or two given the circumstances. Holywell's response? (Do you really need to ask?) As my partner continued frantically packing to meet our deadline to vacate, I moved all of our boxes out onto the road onto pallets to be collected by a shipping company. I had to make a last second moving arrangement to ensure that we could vacate the property on time. The temperature was 40+ degrees, and with each trip to the pallet with a box, I was just barely able to breathe in the mercilessly intense heat. I'd have to sit in the shade to catch my breath with each journey. I'm 55. We were happy to comply not only with the terms of our lease, but also with the Residential Tenancy Act, following both scrupulously. It's a wonder why we had to sign a tenancy agreement at all, as Holywell was quite happy to operate beyond the confines of the RTA as a matter of course. Oh, did I mention that we found a bag filled with used hypodermic syringes under the mattress of the bed in a house that was rented furnished? Charming and classy. Disregard all of the high reviews elsewhere, as my experience with Holywell is the norm
