Detailed Reviews
Four of us (2 couples) traveled there for our summer get away and immensely enjoyed our time there. Barb and Gary are wonderful hosts and even better people. They are very knowledgeable about the area and their suggestions for restaurants, wineries, activities, anything were always spot on! The rooms are beautiful with fabulous views especially on the private patios. Breakfasts were a culinary delight each day and always something different. They don't skimp on anything. During Covid, things have changed a little but Barb and Gary seem to have thought of everything. We felt very safe. We left wishing we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back!

Very close to Skaha lake, a short 2 minute drive or if you are more willing for a bit of exercise probably takes 10 min down the hill. A winery is within walking distance and has some great wines. Barb and Gary are very informative and willing to give suggestions of things to do or quick shortcuts to get somewhere if your not familiar with the area. Just a short drive to all the amenities within Penticton yet the place is very quiet and private. The room was very clean and had many amenities for your comfort. Covid 19 is being observed here for your safety, yet without seeming like your in a hospital environment. Would highly recommend this B&B!

We had the pleasure of staying in one of the carriage house units overlooking the City and the Lake. Hosts Barb and Gary are wonderful and welcoming and made us feel at home. Comfy bed, great views and a lovely yard to lounge in and meet the local deer.

The reviews we read raving about this b&b were very different than our experience. However it has new owners and they do not provide daily room cleaning, the breakfast is a cold continental type brought to your room the 1st morning and then you must keep your leftovers and ask for whatever you need for the subsequent breakfasts. Unusual. We had a very fancy shower in our room that apparently had massage and steam functions etc. The new owner basically said figure it out yourself. After efforts we concluded that it is no longer working as anything other than a regular shower. The property itself is looking neglected-weeds in the planters, missing bricks on the patio. Strange experience that I cannot recommend for the price.

Our family of 4 had a fabulous time at "Above the Beach". Barb and Gary made it feel like we were returning home each night after days at the beach or biking. The Emerald room was plenty big enough for two adults and two teens. It was spacious, clean and fresh. We had our own deck overlooking the beach and a huge bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was a different culinary treat each morning. We look forward to returning. Thank you for a memorable visit.

We stayed in the Emerald room and would highly recommend it. The breakfasts far exceeded our expectations, as did the room. The beautifully situated house overlooks Skaha Lake and the surrounding mountains. A very quiet and safe neighborhood, perfect for an escape. Barb and Gary were excellent hosts with an extensive knowledge of the surrounding areas. We have no complaints!

We stayed at the House above the Beach for five great nights. We stayed in their top suite and paid top price and percieved that they do not charge enough for the value they give. I should know because I have been visiting Penticton for over five years, several times a year to visit my children. I have stayed at the big casino resort, several of the motels, and several of the other hotels. When a B & B in Kaleden closed that had been my favorite, I could not find 4 star lodging...I now have! They provide an amazing breakfast, free wireless internet, a great multi-head shower, and a spa tub for two that my partner and I enjoyed!Finally a new place to rest my head that will feel like home when I visit my children. They also have a view to die for. But what really rocked was the owners. Barb & Garry are fun to have a night cap around the fire pit with. What an unexpected surprise. Had I stayed at the big casino resort I would have to pay for breakfast, parking, a view, internet access, and would not have gotten 300 plus count sheets with a feather bed or a huge room or a fabulous spa style bath. Barb & Garry know their town and they know their wine.

I have stayed at Above the Beach several times. It was really by accident the first time as I was traveling and there were no hotel rooms avail. I heard about them from the visitors center. I called and of course they were full up, however they bent backwards to accomodate me for that night, and I was able to get their nicest suite the nights to follow.
I have stayed in many B&B's and I have to say that it has been a Joy watching as the Hoolaeff's have taken what I consider to be one of the nicest B&B's in the Okanagan, and improved upon it year after year.
If you love the smell of Fresh Coffee beans roasting in the morning, you will love Above the Beach.
If you love to look out of your room and see the beach, you will love Above the Beach.
If you love Okanagan wines, fruit, and hospitality, you will love above the beach.
At the risk of sounding like a comercial for them, I must say, their aim to please mentality, excellent cooking, fun personalities, not to mention their fabulous coffee and wines, make them my stop in Penticton. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

This place was a gem to find. We had an unsurpassed view of the lake and the city from our suite and private balcony. Breakfast was second to none. I will definately be back!!!

This well named B&B sits above Skaha Lake in Penticton. Beautiful views of the whole valley. Their three course breakfasts are more than the usual fare. Hosts Gary & Barb like to cook and it shows.
My room was great; clean bright, and well decorated. This would be a great base for the Wine Festival.
