About this property

Charming, ocean view, lovely 1 1/2 bdrm deluxe suite ~ & we're pet friendly! :-)

SeaSong is in the charming seaside village of Crescent Beach. Enjoy our beautiful updated & spotless (intense attention is paid to cleaning!) first level 1 1/2 bedroom suite with ocean view ~ a 2 minute stroll takes you to the beach & toes in the sand. SeaSong's open concept design & beach house charm will surround you in comfort while the gas fireplace, 2 flatscreen TVs & DVD entertains.

Spacious, well laid out & equipped for serious foodies, the kitchen features a large island with seating for up to 4, stainless steel appliances including a new gas range & dishwasher, fridge & microwave. Coffee lovers can enjoy a French press, drip brew or Nespresso. A variety of teas & other beverages are also on hand, as well as an excellent selection of spices, herbs & staples.

SeaSong's bedroom boasts an ultra comfortable premium queen bed, 38" flatscreen TV, built-in electric fireplace & washer/dryer. The ocean themed bathroom includes heated tile floors & a deep soaker tub with fireplace view.

The additional lounge area includes a very comfortable (really!) Lazy Boy double air-topper sleeper sofa - a floor to ceiling curtain divides the sleeping space from the living area.

The entire suite has been extremely well sound-separated from the main floor to ensure privacy.

Enjoy coffee or Happy Hour on the ocean view deck from the comfort of your Adirondack chairs while the resident birds entertain. You'll find a table for 2 & gas grill for more outdoor living. In the fall & winter months, cozy up by the fire with a good book or movie. Pamper yourself with a professional in-suite massage by a registered therapist.

A deluxe SeaSong Welcome Basket greets guests with fresh organic coffee & the 'fixings', organic fruit (local when in season), wine, chocolate & more.

Bicycles, beach chairs & towels, croquet & bocci add to the summer fun. Stroll the beachwalk to cafes & bistros, explore Blackie Spit bird sanctuary or bike the myriad of beach paths. Winery touring, horseback riding, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, art galleries & more are all close at hand.

SeaSong is 10 minutes to the neighbouring oceanside town of White Rock with its famous wooden pier (the longest in Canada!) & a wonderful array of restaurants, bars & shops. A 45 minute drive brings you to downtown Vancouver & 10 minutes takes you to the US border with Seattle 1 1/2 hours beyond. Wonderful day trip options abound!

We love our weekly guests as well as those who come for extended periods! Our monthly rates are discounted by 30-35% off weekly rates. If you're interested in staying longer than a month please ask about our multi-month discount :-).

Please note, a railway line runs through the community of Crescent Beach and near the Property. As you'll see from our reviews, the majority of our guests do not find it to be a problem, and in fact many enjoy the historic charm it represents. Also to note, access to SeaSong is up 12 stairs from the street level parking.

Beautiful place
Great place to stay, spotless, well stocked including a few treats for our dog. Beautiful view of the bay and easy access to walking paths along the beach AND walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. Gail and CJ kept in touch to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic oasis by the ocean!
My daughter and I had a fantastic time staying at the SeaSong this past week! This little get-away is absolutely beautiful and Gail, the property owner, is the best host I have ever experienced. She made sure our stay was wonderful and was super responsive before our trip and during our stay. I would highly recommend this location for your stay!

Lovely vacation spot
What a wonderful place to stay with a wonderful host who has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket, this was reflective of the thoughtfulness put into every aspect of the stay. This is the best location if you want somewhere easy to be and to spend time at the beach. The train is loud but we got used to it after the first night, it is not a deterrent at all. We can't wait for our next vacation a Sea Song! Thank you so much!

A true treasure!!!
Charming, cozy and quaint! Our stay at SeaSong was an absolute delight!!! Gail was a fabulous host as was Toby - the most adorable four-legged host! We were treated to the most thoughtful welcome starter kit, which also included goodies for our fur babies. The kitchen is a great size and well-equipped to make an array of dishes. Although pretty and picturesque in the fall, we would love to experience SeaSong during the summer months to truly enjoy the beach atmosphere. The pictures definitely don’t do it justice - book this vrbo ASAP!!!

Wonderful getaway
I spent about 5 weeks at this lovely spot with my dog. Could not have asked for a better place to help transition to a new life. Gail is an amazing host. The suite has everything needed to settle in quickly and just enjoy all that Crescent Beach has to offer. There’s easy access to the highway to explore further afield. There was a delightful welcome basket with treats for me and my pup. I will never forget my stay at SeaSong.

Perfect Stay at Seasong
I had an amazing couple weeks at Seasong. The location couldn’t be better! Gail has done an incredible job of making her place your home away from home. Great coffee shops near by and paths to walk if you have a dog. Gail and Toby were so welcoming and Gail went through the property to ensure I was comfortable. The train does run directly infront of the property but that’s clearly stated in the description and you do get used to it. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone!

It was so nice to smell the ocean air. We were so impressed with the way it was decorated. If you love walking and nature this place can't be beat. The soaker tub felt wonderful. The September weather was perfect. The host , Gail seems like a lovely person. It was everything we had hoped for.

Superb accomodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SeaSong. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped with lovely beach decor.The bedroom had lots of shelves, drawers and closet space. Location was excellent. Within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We really enjoyed the deck early morning and evening. We even enjoyed watching the trains go by. Gail was very friendly and attentive. We hope to visit SeaSong again.

Unique winter getaway
Gail is an excellent and accommodating host. The home was well equipped, and very comfortable. It is close to the beach for great walks and bird watching. It is an ideal place for a getaway. We couldn’t use the deck as much as in the warmer months but it is private with wonderful west facing views from it. There is a train nearby but it did not bother us. We would highly recommend this place to others and plan to revisit ourselves.

Return to Crescent Beach
After 70 years’ absence, I returned for a week to enjoy my old haunt. Gail made my stay super special, with a dog friendly, totally updated unit. It was so close to the beach and town core area, and dog park, complete with a dog swim park. My daughter was able to easily come from Vancouver to enjoy a break. Even the trains became a charm after a wakeful night when the whistle was sounded at 230 am! A lovely week!

Hidden Treasure
Seasong is an idyllic beach getaway with terrific views and the relaxed casual comfort my wife and I were seeking. The suite is spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed. Gail was also a perfect host whom we hope to stay friends with well into the future. Our two dogs loved their morning and afternoon beach walks (the little guys are spoiled for life now) and we rate the experience ahead of any vacation rental we've purchased in the past. Highly, highly recommended.

Beautiful & Cozy!
Great communication before checkin. We arrived during a deep freeze and the owner ( who lives above the suite ) met us to go through the unit together and showed us “ the ropes” of recycling , garbage etc. She had the suite so warm and inviting with gas fire and battery operated candles lit along with an amazing “welcome package” of wine, baked goods, fruit and juice/ water in fridge. The fabulous kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed including a bbq on the covered deck. Beds were very comfortable. We had an amazing 6 days visiting family and friends and would love to return in the summer weather to utilize the outdoor deck with water and sunset view. The suite is very close to train tracks but after the first night we weren’t deterred by the trains at all. Truly an amazing home away from home.

Very nice suite, 4.5 stars overall
The cottage suite was very clean, updated, nicely decorated and well equipped with extra linens, kitchen and pantry supplies. Fresh coffee beans and teas were provided as well as a Nespresso machine and pods which was a nice treat. It was great to be able to bring our dog and enjoyed taking walks along the beach path which was easily accessible by foot. We received a beautiful gift basket of wine, fruit, chocolate, dog treats and fresh flowers from the host who was warm and welcoming. The only downside was that the train (disclosed in the description of the property) runs at random times during the day or night adjacent to the property and the whistle is very loud. Although there is street parking in front of the property the street is rather narrow with no exit or turn around so parking our vehicle was challenging. I cannot fault the host as these issues are totally out of their control. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this lovely and comfortable suite. Many thanks.

Paradise found in Sea Song
Jan. 8/22 to Feb. 6/22 Sea Song is a fabulous home away from home. Gail and Cali are the sweetest hosts. This VRBO had everything we required for our stay and more. Gail has thought of everything one might require while staying in her cozy and charming sea side resort. Just a couple minute walk and you are on the beach. Enjoyed walks on the beach and the amazing sunsets over the water. We highly recommend this VRBO and hope to one day return! Lyle & Allison

About the host

Hosted by Gail Terry

Host profile image
I'm very proud to be a Vancouver born & raised girl ~ I've lived in this very special community of Crescent Beach since 1992 & have loved every minute of it!

I'm a passionate traveller blessed to have experienced many amazing parts of the world including Africa, the Seychelles, Europe (Italy is my favourite so far with 5 visits, including several places little travelled by Nth Americans), the Caribbean (the British Virgin Islands are my home-away-from-home), Mexico (I'm lucky to have been to many off-the-beaten-paths secrets), Central America, Great Britain & of course our nearest neighbours to the south, the US.

I'm also a passionate animal lover & very involved in animal welfare. If you would like to have your four-legged family member join you, we will do everything to make his/her stay as special as yours :-). Of course our two-legged guests receive the 'royal treatment' too! :-)

I look forward to hosting you here at SeaSong & making your stay in the Vancouver area a special one ~ come visit us soon!!

Gail & Leo :-)

Why they chose this property

In years gone by (as far back as the twenties) Crescent Beach was a popular family summer destination & although we're only 45 minutes outside the city of Vancouver, many people still maintain summer homes here. This is a large part of why this area has retained the special seaside village charm of a bygone era. Life is still a little slower here & we love that!

SeaSong is part of a very special home affectionately known as 'Casita del Mar' (Little House by the Sea). Casita began as the Bell Family's summer cottage ~ since being built by the hands of family & friends in the sixties, many wonderful memories have been made here & today the house still retains those precious feelings. From the moment I stepped into the cottage in 1992 (the first time I tried to buy it!) & looked out to the bay I knew this was where I wanted to make my home.

The beautiful memories continue!

What makes this property unique

SeaSong is a 2 year Labour of Love ... I designed & contracted it from start to finish, incorporating ideas from my travels around the globe. I took great care & attention to the small details that would make it special, the kind of place I'd be thrilled to discover & would want to return to over & over again. I hope you'll agree!
