That's what makes this adorable, floating accommodative so unique. Not only is it floating on the Fraser River, but it also has beautiful stain glass windows that accent the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the water. In addition, skylights add extra light during the day and to view the stars at night. The 850 square foot accommodation is located in Richmond and for rent on AirBnB.
Ocean Village
While the beach is beautiful during the summer months, there's no better place to enjoy storm watching than in Tofino. And since it isn't peak travel season, you'll find less crowding on the beaches and trails. Tofino is also a surfer's paradise, and fall is the best time to enjoy the ocean activity. Ocean Village offers renovated and updated cabins for maximum comfort and their iconic “beehive” cabins are available year-round at affordable, family-friendly rates.
Starting Oct.12, the resort's three-night Storm Watching Package is in effect. If you stay for three nights you'll receive a 15% discount on your stay in any cabin. Starting Nov. 15, you'll receive a 20% discount for a five-night stay--a seven-night say comes with a 25% discount.Taku Resort
Located just across the water from Campbell River (a brief 10-minute ferry ride gets you there, with ferries running hourly and the fee only charged from the Campbell River port), Quadra is the gateway to the Discovery Islands, popular with boaters, adventurers, off-the-grid-ers, and anyone looking for some serious decompression in a spectacularly and ruggedly beautiful place. Taku Resort has beachfront A-frame cabins that can fit up to eight people, terrace-level suites in a variety of configurations, a treehouse suite for two, camping and RV sites, and a two-suite beach house.
Rowena's Inn on the River
Located in Harrison Hot Springs just west of Agassiz, this 160-acre waterfront estate is a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. What’s more, Rowena’s Inn on the River only takes between an hour and a half to under two hours to reach. As a result, it won’t take much time away from your much-needed rest and relaxation. Furthermore, this charming accommodation offers everything luxury appointed cabins that are pet friendly to cabins with heated floors and deep-soaker jacuzzi tubs for two. Starting in November, the largest eagle gathering in the world also takes place in Harrison Mills. They are beautiful, regal birds with an astonishing wingspan of up to 8 feet. And while seeing one on its own is a remarkable sight to behold, seeing a convocation of the soaring raptors is truly spectacular.
