“Home Away From Home on the Wild Vancouver Island Shore”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Everthing about At Water's Edge is perfection. Karen, Chris, and Megan are welcoming hosts who immediately made us feel like part of the family. Upon check in we were given a choice of time and menu selections for breakfast the following morning. Our room was very well thought out and had everything we needed during our stay - including a wonderful view of the water from our bed! Each morning breakfast is served at a large table adjoining the kitchen so that all of the guests can get to know each other and learn about the area from Karen as she cooks each delicious breakfast to order. One morning we had a very early start to go on a grizzly bear expedition, so Karen packed up a picnic breakfast that we could take with us on the road! The location of this B&B is convenient to many water activities as well as being within driving distance to Port Hardy and many small communities on the western side of the island. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Port McNeill.

Room Tip: All rooms share a deck and are downstairs from the main house. The Eagles Nest has two twin beds...

“Great place to stay when in Port McNeill”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for one night enroute to the Broughton Archipelago - because we have two small children (almost 3 and almost 5 at the time), we rented two rooms.

Karen and Chris were very friendly and talkative, and the breakfast was a great way to start the day. Both rooms, as well as the entire home, was very clean and everything functioned well.

If we happen to be back in Port McNeill one day, we would not hesitate to book again.

Room Tip: All rooms have doors/windows that face the water, and are all the same layout and size.

“Can't wait to come back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Unfortunately for us we only spent 1 night here during our visit. Karen and Chris are great hosts from making sure we had breakfast to take on our early start grizzley bear watching, to providing the ice for my leg after boat accident. Rooms are perfect, breakfast lovely, and filling. Thanks for welcoming us into your home enjoyed our early morning chat and hopefully you will still be there when we come back. Caroline and Laura

“Fantastic location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

We just stayed one night in Port McNeill before picking up a small boat cruise.

The B&B has a fantastic location and it was very nice just to spend a little time sitting outside our room looking out over the water. The view at breakfast is even better.

Karen and Chris were extremely helpful and, if we stay at Port McNeill again, we will definitely stay here.

“Would love to visit again one day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

"At Waters Edge" is in an idyllic spot, the rooms all had delightful views of Johnston Strait. We were only able to stay two days but would of loved to of stayed longer. Chris and Karen were delightful, knowledgable hosts. I'm glad we were having an active few days to burn off the calories as Karens breakfasts were excellent.
