When Will the Renovations Be Complete?

Renovation work will be taking place at the property until June 1, 2025. We’re excited to welcome you into refreshed spaces as summer begins.

What’s Being Refreshed—and Why It Matters

Our goal is simple: enhance comfort, convenience, and the relaxed lakefront experience that brings guests back year after year. During the Sandy Beach Suites renovations, we’re focusing on:

• Fresh, thoughtfully updated spaces that support easy, low‑stress stays—whether you’re cooking in your suite’s fully-equipped kitchen, stepping out to the private beach, or unwinding on a patio.
• Smooth guest flow across shared outdoor areas, with easy access points to the sports courts, the playground, and the BBQ gazebo.
• Quiet, clean, and comfortable interiors—a consistent theme in recent guest feedback praising cleanliness, minimalistic interiors, and restful stays.

While every renovation is unique, the guiding principle is consistent: preserve what you love, and elevate the everyday moments—from that first morning coffee to sunset by the water.

What You’ll Continue to Love During Your Stay

Even as work progresses, the Sandy Beach experience remains unmistakable:

• Beachfront setting on Osoyoos Lake with a private beach steps from your door
• Paddleboards, a double kayak, and canoes available for free use by guests
• Volleyball and Pickleball courts for friendly games with family and friends
• Playground for little adventurers
• BBQ gazebo and an herb and edible garden that make alfresco meals easy and fun
• Suites, cottages, and studios—all with fully-equipped kitchens, seating areas with sofas, and dining areas
• Free Wi‑Fi and cable TV to keep you connected and entertained
• Air conditioning for comfort through warm Osoyoos days
• Balconies or patios in many rooms, inviting you to linger outdoors
• Facilities for disabled guests and family rooms, designed for accessibility and togetherness

Recent guest sentiments highlight what sets us apart: a fantastic lakefront location, very clean suites (including newly renovated spaces), friendly staff, and quiet, secure grounds.
