Excellent place, I love it!!!
Do not let the pictures of the place fool you. Photos posted on the web are old; from the time they just opened the place. In its current status the place stinks. Bed sheets are probably 3 to 4 years old, carpets are so dirty you barely want to step on them.
Price shown on the web is as expensive as 4 star hotels like Holiday inn which is brand new and just 7 minutes away from ocean breez. Yet Margaret tries to increase the price if you call her.
If you still want to go there do not give her your credit card nor book online just drive there check the place and if you decide to stay you can pay cash otherwise if you do not like the place which I am almost sure will be the case then she will try to charge you the full amount or two nights or if you argue 1 night. There is no cancelation policy.
I have stayed with Margaret at the Oceanbreeze for over 16 years and have stayed in every room in the B&B. The breakfasts are fantastic and the host is a charming women who makes you feel at home. It is our home when in Vancouver and I always stay in North Van over downtown!
Liked this B and B. Extremely comfortable king size bed. Clean and charming. Hot and fresh made breakfast. Will come back again! Thank you
Friendly host, very nice breakfast.
Very nice place to stay in Vancouver
Margaret (the proprietor) screwed us! Do NOT trust her.
For our anniversary, we were looking forward to a 3-day romantic weekend at a B & B in Vancouver. After looking for something within our price-range and location, we booked through Expedia. I called Margaret to verify the room and she offered the room to us for less money if we went directly through her.
She took our reservation on April 22, 2015, and also took a credit card to guarantee the room, sending us a confirmation on April 23, 2015.
"this is to confirm your reservation in " Ocean Breeze " for 3 consecutive nights starting July 3rd- July 6th ; name of the room is romantic " Eagles Nest suite " overlooking Vancouver Harbour / Cruiseships rate $ 199.00 CAD + 18 % local tax , full breakfast is included"
We arrived very late from California on Friday, July 3, 2015, and we found out after a 4 hour flight that Margaret sold our room to another party - even though it was prepaid. She did NOT hold our room.
She did move us, arbitrarily, to a company apartment she rents out. We got in so late, we did not have a moment to think. Unfortunately, the apartment is located 2 blocks from two very active train tracks and a main transportation street with lots of traffic waking us about 6:30 AM. Good luck sleeping through the trains coming through!
If you were looking for a romantic B & B - overlooking Vancouver Harbor and conveniently located providing walking access to the Seabus to downtown Vancouver, would you want an apartment 2 blocks from the train tracks overlooking a Chevron Station and 5 lanes of traffic in a commercial zone? Friday night, Margaret even said "we could get our coffee at the gas station in the morning!"
Margaret did all this, because she was greedy and could charge more for the room than what she agreed to in our reservation. If she did this to us, she has done this before and will do it again. Maybe to you
Margaret goes out of her way to make a stay at her hotel as comfortable and pleasant as possible. You know those movies where someone goes back home to their amazingly supportive and welcoming family? It's like that.
