The Floating Love Nest is part of Cape Carraholly Retreat, nestled in British Columbia's old growth, oceanfront rainforest.

Enjoy quick access to an abundance of outdoor activities including kayaking, jet skiing, fishing, boating, and swimming off the dock. Explore the many hiking trails Belcarra Regional Park has to offer and visit the secluded beaches or admire the trees older than 500 years. Snuggle up by a campfire in a beach shack on chilly nights to roast some marshmallows or enjoy your favorite board games.
BOAT SHUTTLE SERVICE
Parking and transport logistics will be provided to you through a PDF file automatically upon confirmation of your reservation. Specifically, the meeting point is at the beach on Barnet Marine Park. One of our team members will meet you and transport you to the property with a short shuttle boat ride. The 5-10 minute boat shuttle trip to and from the property is part of the check-in and check-out process and is included in the cost of your stay. However, once you are on the property, you will need our assistance if you would like to leave the property.
Each additional boat shuttle trip is an additional $25. You may need to pay extra fees for boat shuttle trips if you apply to one of the following:
1) You have guests completing the check-in & check-out process at separate times.
2) You have a group larger than 8 (the boat fits 8 people).
3) You wish to commute to and from the property throughout your stay (combined both ways for $25 total).
Please refer to the “Check-In & Check-Out” Shuttle Service under the “Additional House Rules” section for more information. Early or late check-ins & check-outs may have additional costs. Most of our guests pack enough food, beverages and luggage for the duration of their stay as there is no vendor nearby.
