North of Vancouver and
also accessible from Comox on Vancouver Island, the
Sunshine Coast is a spectacular recreational and cultural
vacation area. Popular as a weekend retreat or
holiday destination, this area of British Columbia,
Canada is easily accessed by ferry, private
boat or by airplane. Platinum Vacation Group Ltd.
specializes in renting quality Sunshine Coast, Gulf Island
and Vancouver Island homes for travellers that want
to experience British Columbia, Canada's west coast
experience.

| Thanks to a rain shadow that catches most of the moisture coming off the ocean, the Sunshine Coast has an annual total of 1,400 to 2,400 hours of sunshine, an average of 4 to 6 hours per day! Comprising of two land-locked peninsulas near West Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast is only accessible by boat or plane—giving it an isolated, relaxing atmosphere. |

The Sunshine Coast is split into two areas, the upper and lower Sunshine Coast, by Jervis Inlet. The lower southern half, between the ferries at
Langdale and Earls
Cove, occupies the Sechelt Peninsula, while the northern upper half, between the ferry at Saltery Bay and
Lund, sits on the Malaspina Peninsula. The area has a population of approximately 60,000 and includes the communities of:
Gibsons (a seaside town),
Roberts Creek (home of the Gumboot Nation),
Sechelt, Halfmoon
Bay,
Pender Harbour,
Egmont and
Powell River. Texada
Island is accessible from Powell River.

You’ll find plenty of recreational opportunities —
biking, hiking, and ski trails; canoe and kayak routes; and beachcombing spots. The end of the Sunshine Coast is the gateway to the beautiful
Desolation Sound Marine
Park, which is the largest marine park in BC.
Lovers of the arts and culture will enjoy the renowned Festival of the Written Arts, the Fibre Arts Festival and the Hackett Park Craft Fair. The Coast Cultural Alliance, formed to encourage development of the arts in the Sunshine Coast, provides information about artists, events and gallery.
We offer a wide variety of homes from one room cozy cottages nestled in the woods to custom-designed waterfront homes with every conceivable luxury. To ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible, we have familiarized ourselves with each of the houses listed here. We also have a wide selection of Ontario Cottage Rentals.
