Star of the Sea Guest House

Great location, cute and large suite with it's own parking. Owner was very supportive. I highly recommend supporting this location.

The views from this room are great. Walkable to the Marine drive for lots of dining options. Room has some amenities, like coffee and tea. The mini-fridge is helpful for snacks. Wish there was an in-room microwave, as the kitchen was not usable. It is really a rented room in a house, as they are no longer operating as a bed and breakfast. Probably would stay here again.

The view from the balconies of this property is lovely. Unfortunately, there was a puddle of water just outside the sliding door on our room’s balcony. This was strange because we stayed during a hot spell. We had to be careful that we didn’t slip from wet shoes when we came back into our space. The shared living room could have been nice but I wasn’t comfortable there for several reasons. First- in the living room there was someone’s laundry drying on a stand (including underwear) during our two day stay and clean bed sheets strewn on the sofa. Second- there was a layer of dust on the furniture. We were grateful for air conditioning in our bedroom. But the area of our space with the sofa bed had no AC and so it was very uncomfortable in that room.

Jet tube was pleasurable relaxing ! Bidet toilet was excellent! Great view ! Ac was a plus during warm season ! Overall we love it 💕

Awesome view and location. Great for relaxation and comfort.

Stayed in the big room with jacuzzi. Very spacious, very nice views. Property is showing its age. There wasnt enough water to fill the jacuzzi, and the plug doesnt stop water from draining. Didnt have blackout drapes, so was hard to sleep with all the light in morning. I would stay again though for the location, but its not a 4 star hotel.

Great view, big room with balcony, close to the beach and restaurants, quiet neighborhood, super helpful host!

Short stay, it was really nice to have the patio, great view.

Lovely room, spacious, amazing view from our room. Huge ensuite. Bed comfortable. Everything clean and lovely presented. Very relaxing place to stay at. Close to shops, cafes,and bus to train station then train into Vancouver. Lovely and friendly host. Would thoroughly recommend staying here. Many thanks to the lovely hosts with your communication with my booking and stay.

Excellent stay in the beautiful town of White Rock!

Beautiful view from the cute little terrace. It’s in a fabulous location near a strip of restaurants that included a wonderful coffee shop (Laura’s) and amazing pizza (Emelia’s). Like the best!!! A short walk for those in shape to the main beach area, pier and restaurants. The room had coffee, creamers, wine glasses, opener, fridge. Unfortunately, it’s furnishings are dated otherwise it would be a 5.

I booked this propery as a B&B, as the ad was that i found on Expedia. This should of been made clear that it is no longer that. This is no more than a 2 star hotel or whatever it is. There is not much included, no ice machine, no drink glasses, no extra towels,( I had to ask for them and find the closet where they are stored. ). The patio door is very difficult to open, the deck chairs are filthy. The general cleanliness is poor, base boards dirty, the bathroom tile grout needs cleaning, dust bunnies. The free parking is on the street. I would not recommend this place.

The sea view suite was cute, cozy and very clean. My wife and I would stay there again we do hightly recommed Star of the Sea guest house, as a place to stay near the sea. William Lewis

False advertising. Misleading reviews, or a lot has changed since this reviews were made. Would not recommend

I like the safety and convenience of places to eat and explore. I’d say the head board is squeaky. If I’d been here with my husband then I would have felt shy about the noise.

Reservation email with door code was not sent to me... awkward fumbling and waiting to be allowed in. Shower gel empty, shampoo looked extremely old and nasty...had to rummage around downstairs to find other. Temperature of room could not be adequately controlled...awful sleep with room way too hot. No instructions provided with how to use multiple TV remotes... awkward fumbling to use TV. Only one cup provided for coffee...had to fumble around downstairs looking for another cup. Water pot used for boiling water still has some partial water in it...proves cleaning staff not too attentive. Toilet water running when arrive...toilet handle stuck. Noticed this happened again after using toilet... property must have high water bills with constantly running water (combined with overall high uncontrolled heat in room and overall premises).

We had reserved a king room with a soaking tub but were sent an email with check in instructions for a different room with a queen room and regular bathtub. There was no staff on the premises to talk to and we didn’t have a strong wifi signal so we couldn’t call or email to ask why we didn’t get the room we requested. Also a bit disappointing that it’s called a Bed & Breakfast but there was no breakfast. And no cream for the in-room coffee. All in all, it was fine but we will probably look for another place on our next trip.

Good

Excellent

The family room was perfect for us. Decent living room with 2 couches and kitchen. Loved having a legit electrified toilet seat with bidet and fan. Comfortable king bed. We liked the private sitting area outside and our own parking spot. Only downside was no view in that room.

The host is very friendly. Very clean room and amenities. The room with the bay view is amazing and is spacious. Occasional mild noise from the street as cars have to accelerate up the hill but it's manageable. Would return again for future visits!

Nice

Excellent

We had no heat . There was a thermostat but it did not work. So, we used the oven for heat . Also , keep your TV simple !! There were 2 remotes and No instructions .

The property was very well maintained and super quiet. It definitely felt a lot more like a home than any hotel.

The place was great

Excellent stay!

This was a lovely choice for a stay. I had a suite, with living area and balcony with ocean view and bedroom. The bidet toilet was a fun plus, and the space overall was very comfortable. The tv was large and worked great, the couch was comfy for lounging on and the little desk and chair were handy for working. The in-room fridge is a good size and Adele said I could use the kitchen microwave if needed (I didn't). She was super responsive, and White Rock is a great location, especially with walkable dinner options like there are at the Star of the Sea. I hope to return one day!

Spotlessly clean, great location with a view, easy parking and wonderful hostess Adele.

Close to Marine Dr with Restaurant Row. Beautiful suite with private balcony looking out to the Boundry Bay.

Large space, comfortable bed. Missing mirrors in bedroom or living room.

Adel was very nice and low pressure, self check-in was easy. had my own private parking, she even let me plug my EV into the wall socket, level one, but it got me the extra energy i needed for running into Vancouver and back. thank you, I appreciate your help with the EV and TV :)

Our room had an excellent view from the balcony. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The hostess was very friendly and helped us with our luggage.

It's a great place and owner is friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends as well. When I will be visiting White Rock again I would stay here again.))

Overnight stay to break the travel time into shorter increments.

The room I had needs an air conditioning unit. I could barely breathe being in there during the day because it was so hot. The fan was old and its plug kept dropping from the plug in. So many stains on the carpet I didn’t know if it was dirty or stained. However, view of the water is fantastic.

It has quite a memorable view of the beautiful White Rock

Lovely large suite in excellent ocean view location. Thank you!

Beautiful views from the balcony. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable.

Lovely quiet accommodation. Would have preferred a king bed but the queen was adequate.

The place was really clean, has great furniture, the host was very responsive… it was great value for the price… I would highly recommend it..

I really liked being there it was a really nice experience for me

There is a strong cat smell. And the rest is very good

Location and service are very good!

No

The room was clean and spacious with a view of the pier. The property itself was within walking distance of the waterfront and several shopping, dining and bar/brewery locations. I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location. Karen was quick to respond when we messaged her. The suite could use a little more cleaning (dust on top of the fridge, basebords, etc) but overall, we'd stay there again.

Great location with an amazing view. Super friendly host.

Loved the room layout and the view! It was wonderful to sit on the balconey in the sun.

I have only one recommendation for when I may return . It was a B and B and I would suggest some additional items to the breakfast provided . Cheese , meat ( cold slices ) and bread such as coursiant . Not a sweet bread only such as were the muffins . Also hard boiled eggs . Protein needed for the breakfast. Otherwise I shall surely return for the location , privacy . One more item - I do not watch Tv but possibly a few magazines for light reading .

Loved this place and the view was very nice though I think we reserved the best room in the place. City had lots of choices to eat and places to go. Room was clean, premise was clean, host was very nice.

It was great

It was amazing, only comment would be is to have instructions/packet for us, in the entry. We arrived and door was accidentally unlocked, so we did not have any instructions, called and said we were inside already, then received instructions. Great stay, will recommend to anyone!

Would have liked booklet describing points of interest, suggestions for dining, and expectations for breakfast.

Great location to visit White Rock.

The home feels like home away from home and the hostess was so hospitable and went above and beyond to meet my needs. Highly recommend.

Wonderful stay here. Highly recommend!

I wanted to treat myself & what a treat it was. Comfortable bed, great amenities & WHAT A VIEW!! WOW! Easy to park, close to restaurants & the beach. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend it.

My husband & I enjoyed our stay. No complaints. Only a couple of suggestion. Having white carpet throughout seemed very impractical as the carpet in our sitting area was very badly stained. We also could not understand why they had a baby gate to go upstairs. Seemed strange and very awkward to navigate with our luggage or parcels. Otherwise the bed was comfortable . Everything was clean. The balcony had a lovely view of White Rock and the ocean.

This property could be so great, however; it’s not a B&B if the host is not onsite or ever present. Also cats! Wall to wall carpet and an overwhelming stench of years of cat urine. Cat vomit in the entry. The cats seemed to have the run of the place. We used a code to let ourselves in. Glad neither of us had cat allergies, that would have been dangerous. Our room itself did not smell like urine, once you rant the gauntlet hallway the actual room had a great view, was well stocked with waters, muffins, yogurt, coffee. Like I said, the place has amazing potential. Get someone onsite, ditch the carpet and cats and this place is amazing

Responsive before our stay but not during. Disappointingly scant breakfast for an establishment that has Breakfast in its name. No breakfast was offered for day 2 of our stay. When I asked for black tea they suggested (pleasantly), that I buy it from the local store and didn’t respond to my multiple requests for more creamer for morning coffee, even though they live right on the premises. Some areas need attention: The window blind cord for the main view window is broken, so can't be raised. Sort of defeats the purpose of the view. Bathroom sink had a leaky faucet, toilet flush gets stuck and the shower is rickety. The room is spacious and has a cute covered balcony. But the overall impresssion was of total indifference to our needs as guests. A disappointing stay that we were looking forward to.

Very nice roon and facilities at an excellent location which is within walking distance to the beach and city cente.

It was a lovely suite. It was comfortable and the snacks left were greatly appreciated. It was quite close to the ocean too. Thank you.

Nice and quiet. Easy access and parking. No elevator but only an easy set to get up.

Very nice place

Place was very clean and well kept. The gate at the bottom of the stairs was a little annoying but minor. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

Top notch. My wife enjoyed being allowed to play the piano. Jenn responded quickly to all our special requests

Wonderful location! Very comfortable suite.

Very quiet neighbourhood yet just a few blocks up from the beach and close to Johnson St., with its unique charm.

My unit was spacious with useful kitchen and included washer/dryer. Also parking space off alley. Bathroom is dated but functional.

Great place. Beautifully done up room

Great location, pleasant view. Comfortable accommodation.

We stayed at the Star of the Sea Family Suite for a couple nights. We were very happy to have free driveway parking right at our door. Be VERY careful and do not leave anything of value in your vehicle in this area. We were broken into at night and lost thousands of dollars worth of items. It was sad.

Very friendly staff. Beautiful view and location. We would definitely stay again!

We have stayed here several times in the past and will again. Clean, convenient, safe. Great host.

Modern, clean and spacious suite located 5 minute walk from the historic pier in White Rock. Host, Jane, was gracious, helpful and attentive. Beds were comfortable and neighbourhood quiet.

Spotless comfortable quiet roomy on the ocean. Deck was facing the ocean. Jane was welcoming and kind.

Place, location and the service... superb! Jane the host is very welcoming and pleasant. We will come back for sure.

Nice, clean and comfortable, very close to the water so a little walk and you strolling along the boardwalk.

Very nice, clean and comfortable. A couple of minor issues: outside light was not on when we arrived and I couldn't see to enter door code. No cream or creamer provided for coffee . No breakfast provided this time of year, but nice muffins and yogurt.

Safe, comfortable, convenient. Owner is friendly and accomodating. Have stayed here in the past and will again in the future.

Lovely guest home - unfortunately on a very noisy street because of the incline. Owner has cats - I am not sure if that is mentioned in the description - male cat smells, however, the animals did not bother us in the room. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water for the jet tub! We were in Canada for business but I recommend this B & B for quality at the price. Thanks

Incredible view, luxurious room. Great breakfast, Kind and courteous host. Cute siamese kitties in residence. No AC, but it was not really essential since sea breezes coming in from balcony windows cooled room adequately. Intercom in room was a bit disconcerting.

No air conditioning! Thermometer in room read 85 degrees. House smelled of cooking and cat urine. Ashtray on porch full of cigarette butts and one chair broken. NO ONE around to answer questions and voice mailbox was FULL (a bad sign). We left immediately.

The view from our balcony was spectacular! It was nice to have a bedroom and a sitting room. Lots of little extras. Coffee and tea, small fridge, very well appointed bathroom!

Communication was difficult. The breakfast was mediocre whereas we decided to go out for breakfast the 2nd day. The room was comfortable. The TV was very difficult to figure out. They didn't have information on local restaurants or activities.

Netflix was great, WiFi was great, breakfast was nice and healthy. Walking to West Beach down a hill was easy but a killer coming back.

It was a beautiful stay! Great hospitality. Amazing view and very helpful!

Large, clean room with good bed. Attentive to guest needs. Self check in worked for our late check-in, but a little printed info would have been helpful.

Breakfast was 10:00am, much too late. Internet, had very little band width, unacceptable today

Very quite and relaxing place. Host was kind and flexible. Location was excellent. Rooms clean and very quiet.

It had a private entrance and parking for our large truck. It was clean and spacious. It's close to places to eat, shopping, and the beach.

This was a strange experience. No one appeared to be at the hotel when I arrived. I called the number left on a sticky note on the front door.?Owner answered and told me how to get into my suite. Room was not as pictured. Basement suite, needed to keep all curtains closed because of direct views into my suite from the street level. Generally clean except for stove, oven, and bathroom tiles, tub, tub fixtures. Poor pressure in shower. 5 day stay. Housekeeping services consited of having garbage emptied once. 2 towels provided for stay. Narrow water view through an unkept back garden was my view. The suites on the upper floors would have been nicer. My unit was "well worn" Weird choice on cable TV. Young pleasant girl helped show me how to use the shower.

Convenient; close to water; view is great. Everything available to make stay like home. Extremely comfortable bed. Good "starter kit\" for first morning in the apartment.

The view and location were spectacular! The suite was spacious and well equipped. It was a bit noisy though as located next to a busy road and there was some dried smoothie or milkshake on the wall by the fridge that was not cleaned after previous guests.

Close to the pier and Marine Drive, easy access to the main ammenities

Nice place - it's rooms in a large house, very clean, nicely maintained.

Cozy clean quiet comfortable Good view facing sea

This was a very disappointing experience for us. I have been at Bed and Breakfasts before and there was absolutely no customer service. We didn’t see anyone except a young teenage boy who didn’t have social skills or professionalism. There was no heat in one of our rooms and it was snowing outside, and there was absolutely no breakfast, despite an email saying there would be muffins and fruit in the fridge. We checked our mini fridge and the big fridge and there was not a trace of food except a box of crumbled Chinese baked good that had been half eaten. I don’t understand how we weren’t greeted, told anything about our stay and were left to figure out everything for ourselves. The property is a beautiful location and has great potential but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

they forgot the breakfast part of "bed and breakfast"
