Furnished Carriage House in Sechelt — Resident Host Opportunity

We are looking for the right person to make our fully furnished, private one-bedroom Carriage House their home and serve as the resident host for the adjoining three-bedroom vacation rental.

The Carriage House has its own living space, bedroom and bathroom and is separate from the guests’ accommodation. Rent is $1,200 per month, with terms negotiable for the right person. Available immediately, although we can accommodate an October 1 start for someone who needs to give notice at their current home.

The resident-host role is primarily about providing a reassuring, responsible presence on the property during guest stays. We remain the guests’ main contacts and manage reservations and pre-arrival communication. The resident host may occasionally greet arriving guests, answer a question about the house or area, and let us know if something needs attention.

There are also opportunities for separately paid work, according to interest and availability. These might include vacation-rental cleaning and turnovers, hot-tub checks, putting out garbage and recycling, light gardening or occasional assistance with our nearby B&B. Additional work is currently paid at $35 per hour.

This would suit someone who:

• Intends to make the Carriage House their principal residence
• Is usually home overnight and able to be present during vacation-rental stays
• Is friendly, reliable and comfortable around guests while respecting their privacy
• Communicates well and notices when something needs attention
• Would enjoy optional, flexible paid work, although cleaning experience is not essential

The previous resident lived here happily for two years while working from home. Her own space remained private and separate, while her presence was helpful to both us and our guests.

This is a genuine resident-host arrangement, so references and a conversation about availability, travel and the responsibilities of the role will be important.

If this sounds like a good fit—or you know someone who may be interested—please send us a private message introducing yourself, describing your work and usual schedule, and telling us what appeals to you about the arrangement.

While we’ve been off exploring, the Pointhouse has been very much alive.

For the past four weeks, our posts have followed Off Point through some extraordinary places along BC’s Central Coast. Meanwhile, back on Sargeant Bay, other families have been making the Pointhouse their own.

This summer, we’ve welcomed whole-home guests travelling from Bali, France, Germany and Florida, while Aerie, Studio ISO and the Annex have continued to host visitors and returning guests closer to home.

The name Off Point is a nod to the Pointhouse and the rocky point on which it stands. When the house is in the care of guests and we cast off to explore farther up the coast, we are quite literally “off point.”

Longer whole-Pointhouse stays have allowed us to undertake this much anticipated voyage while giving guests something equally special: time to settle into the house, cook and dine together, enjoy the waterfront and gardens, and experience the Lido Spa in complete privacy.

Next summer, we plan to prioritize a limited number of longer whole-home rentals, while preserving selected dates for our B&B guests. Perhaps the Pointhouse could become the setting for your family’s coastal chapter—and help make another adventure aboard Off Point possible.

Exploring the beaches of BC’s wild west coast.
From sheltered Pruth Bay, trails wind through the forest to broad sweeps of sand facing the open Pacific—driftwood scattered along the tideline, rocky headlands and wave after wave arriving from somewhere beyond the horizon.
Pruth Bay is also home to the Hakai Institute’s Calvert Island field station, where researchers study this remarkable meeting place of land, ocean and life.
Foggy mornings have followed us for most of our trip and reinforce the feelings of remoteness for BC’s vast coastline and offshore islands. We’ve really only scratched the surface.

Enjoyed a soak in pristine Eucott Hot Springs followed by a dip in the bay. Relatively sheltered shallow anchorage but strafed by strong winds on our visit. Scanned the sedge meadows surrounding the bay for wildlife. Boaters we met in Shearwater had had perfect viewing of a mother black bear and cub right from the hot springs. We saw only lots of gulls and crows feasting at low tide. Well worth the journey though for this special spot. Off to Pruth Bay on Calvert Island next on our way south again.

A star studded event not to miss.

Nearly 150 astronomers from across the Pacific Northwest will be in the ascendancy above Sechelt next week, as the Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club hosts its third-annual Star Party with musical accompaniment from local performers.

Took seabus from Shearwater to Waglisla, Bella Bella yesterday to explore some Heiltsuk history and culture. Beautiful territory and friendly people. Planning to check out trails at Shearwater and Denny Island today.

After many twists and turns following the different reaches of Roscoe Inlet, the morning fog lifted magically to reveal these towering granite massifs rising straight up from the ocean, deep in the labyrinth of waterways that make up the Central Coast.

Cruising north this summer for a much anticipated trip to the Central Coast. So far have seen humpbacks, orcas, sea otters and many fish jumping. First night on the hook this evening with moorage at Campbell River and Port McNeill the first two nights. Shearwater tomorrow.
