    This is a beautiful property with even better views. The owners are very warm and welcoming, they have created a very comfortable and serene environment with plenty of areas to sit and take it all in. The breakfast was off the charts! Dungeness crab eggs benedict beautifully prepared followed by a lovely cheese soufflé the following day, better than any hotel I’ve been to. Bonus points for the fresh crab and prawn plate with a nice frozen grand marnier dessert the night we arrived. We loved it there!

    Upon booking, we didn’t realize HOW gourmet the breakfasts would be and that information about a food intolerance was needed in advance for them to work around. A follow-up message to us when we booked inquiring about any food issues might have helped in their planning and avoided the confusion.

    We enjoyed our stay in their smaller but very comfortable room that has a patio with an fabulous view of the bay — but the exceptionally delicious seafood breakfast at Stephen’s Bay Inn makes the experience here above and beyond. We were also greeted with a fresh crab and prawn plate “snack” the afternoon of our arrival. We appreciated that they adjusted menus to a food intolerance. We would return for the breakfast alone! Host had excellent backroad maps and good tips for activities in the local area. Wish we had stayed long enough to partake of the kayaks.

    Meshell and Stephen provided the greatest accomodation we had found in Canada during our entire trip. The Inn is a hidden gem on this island, offering peaceful, cosy, and unique views. It is important to mention how amazing their breakfast is. We were able to use the barbacue and use their kayaks for an afternoon trip  We deffenetly would recommend The Oceanfront Inn on Stephens Bay.

The hosts were very accommodating, Michelle was front of house, friendly and knowledgeable about the local region, Stephen,the gourmet chef, who prepared delicious breakfasts each morning.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    The home is beautifully decorated, the view is amazing, breakfast was incredible, and all the little details were provided -- forks, spoons, knives, plates, bowls, a cutting board, wine goblets, drinking glasses, binoculars, a local map, coffee, tea, real cream, a refrigerator in our room, a flashlight, a fan, and a welcome appetizer and dessert. She is a lovely hostess!

    We stayed here during our honeymoon and it was just fantastic! Our apartment was really big, absolutely spotless, very comfortable and well equipped. The view from our terrace of the garden and over the bay was breathtaking. You can also borrow kayaks and explore the bay. But the best part was the breakfast, it was exceptional good and the best breakfast we’ve ever had. Meshell was an amazing host, very warming and friendly. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, 10/5 ⭐️

    We loved the beachfront location and especially the ocean facing balcony on each room. Secondly we loved the plentiful kayaks available to take out anytime along the coastline. We saw a rare sea otter as well as bears, deer and eagles.
