I sent my parents to this so called "resort" for their anniversary after looking at the web page which I know now is very deceiving to say the least. The balcony was so dirty that they could not use it. There was no tissue or shampoo, the soap was the smallest, cheapest bar possible, and there was no radio. The... more

Would like to highly recommend this quaint little beachfront hotel to those looking for a quiet get-away-from-it-all in one of BC's most beautiful locations. My partner and I (30 somethings) stumbled upon this little gem late one evening after a long drive and were immediately taken in by the lovely owner, and told we had found our place for the... more

This was our first time to stay at the Buena Vista by the Sea. We were greeted by our hostess, Claire. She is so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Our room was a very pleasant surprise. Everything was so bright, cheery, clean including the small kitchenette. Everything you need. The room is cleaned daily, and hostess is there... more

This is our 4th trip and as usual was delightful. The hosts are friendly, the accommodations exceptional and lots of little extra's: BBQ for guests, lovely rose garden, fire pit, and a great common deck steps from the beach. We just keep coming back it is such a pleasure to stay there. more

This is my second year in a row to the Buena Vista by the Sea. My accomodations were perfect with a large suite that was wonderfully appointed, roomy and included a kitchen with eating area; separate large bedroom/sitting area; and separte full bath. My room had incredible balcony views right on the beach of the Georgia Straits and could hear... more

We cannot say enough for the happy service, helpful advice on where to go and what to do and he BBQ was a dreamto cook on. The beach turned out to be a wonderful meet and great for the guests at our evening of peaceful fun. Robbie and Claire went out of there way to be kind and we experianced... more

I spent a week at The Buena Vista By The Sea last July and came back again this year. A very unique owner-operated small boutique motel. The private balcony overlooking the beautiful rose garden and sun decks and then access to your own private beach was amazing. You just cannot find this kind of place in the U.S. Warm friendly... more

We have visited this location more than once on combo business/leisure trips and we found The Murphy's as well as their excellent staff, professional, very helpful but not intrusive. I have experience in the hospitality field/am well travelled and find the Buena Vista delivers. The first time we arrived late only to be met by Claire handing us a container... more

We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite on the oceanfront side of Buena Vista Motel. It is a motel not a luxury resort in any way shape or form. Claire was friendly when I booked via phone, but she was not available when we checked in. This property is very out-dated, nothing has been improved in recent years. Our toilet... more
