The just published "Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest" by Sally O'Neal Coates rates us as one of the best in the whole area.  Her review says it all:

"Top-Notch, all-suite bed and breakfast has it all: peaceful setting, great views, fabulous breakfasts, well-appointed rooms, and super hosts. Classy, clean, upscale-one of our favorite Vancouver properties. Gourmet breakfast, served at a common table with a view of the bay includes freshly squeezed orange juice, home-baked bread or muffins, choice of cold cereals, yogurt, fruit, a hot entree (such as sockeye salmon & eggs or mascarpone-stuffed French toast), and a heavenly dessert. Special diets accommodated graciously. Backyard is like your own private park. Adorable, well-behaved small pets on-site.

BayView has lovely suites and a panoramic view.

Each romantic suite includes...

• a bedroom with a view of English Bay
• a top of the line queen size bed
• a private sitting room with lots of books and videos
• a TV/VCR, small refrigerator and phone
• a writing desk
• a private bathroom
• robes, hair dryer, and iron

BayView is in a wonderful location. It is only...

• 15 minutes to the centre of the city
• 10 minutes to Stanley Park
• 5 minutes to beaches, parks, trendy restaurants, antique shops and a seaside walk
• 10 minutes to hiking, skiing and bird-watching in the local mountains
• 15 minutes to the Horseshoe Bay ferry to Vancouver Island
• 90 minutes to world famous Whistler Mountain

Your hosts, Gwen and Jim, will welcome you to their charming home. Educated and well-traveled, they enjoy meeting people and will direct you to interesting things to do and see in the Vancouver area. Their small dog Simon and their cat Purrshia will also welcome you!

Every morning you will be served a delicious, generous breakfast in the dining room, which over looks the garden and a spectacular view of English Bay and the city. Gwen and Jim both love to cook, so you can expect breakfast to be a special treat!

Reviews:

This home in West Vancouver has a spectacular view of English Bay, Stanley Park and the city skyline. It's set in the middle of a trendy area with upscale restaurants and shops. From the nearby seawalk you can sit and watch the cruise ships head north to Alaska.

If you're looking for quiet, BayView Bed and Breakfast's perch in an exclusive residential neighborhood above West Vancouver is the place. A spacious, neat home at the end of a little-travelled cul-de-sac, BayView has a four room suite on the main floor and two three-room suites upstairs. All offer nice views down to the water a mile below, and the Lion's Gate Bridge beyond. Guests are greeted with a plate of steaming fresh cookies. Despite its bucolic locale, it's just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

• Hidden Pacific Northwest

If you appreciate astounding views, old English Gardens and elegant surroundings, head to the BayView Bed and Breakfast in a quiet cul-de-sac in West Vancouver. Elaborate wall coverings and bedding, exquisite furnishings and a fine selection of Canadian art makes this bed and breakfast special. There are three suites with private baths and sitting rooms; in each you can lie in bed and see Lion's Gate Bridge backed by Stanley Park and the city. The downstairs suite is large with a kitchen, queen-size sofa bed and private entrance. A generous deck overlooks the luxuriant garden, the ocean and the city. A four-course breakfast includes fresh baking. Close to West Vancouver beaches, seawalk and shops, and a 15-minute drive to city centre.
