How about quoting prices as well. Cost is always a concern for young families. Anybody can get great accommodations and great fishing if they are willing to mortgage the family home, if they have one, but for the work-a-day Joe who cares about tomorrow, there is a need to balance fishing quality against the cost.

I have a place on the Sunshine coast it is located in a small community called Tuwanek, there is a BB that rents cabins  on the beach.   

http://www.tuwanek.com/ didn't know there was a beach there though.

I found only this www.suiteandsavaryinn.com for Savary island. `You have to add the cost for 2 ferries and Water taxi to get there. Not to mention gas.

Hello,
I don't want to hijack this thread but we are (its me who has to pick the vacation spot  )  in desperate search for 2010 summer vacation destination.
This is what we are looking for:

- warm lake, sandy beach if possible, suitable for daughter and wife to swim in (i.e. no vegetation in the water by the beach area)

- two bedroom cabin, must have some sort of fire pit, marshmallows yummmmm....... 

- max. $1200,- per week

It doesn't have to be a fishing destination although it would be a plus, preferably in BC. Washington is ok too as long the price is right.

If anyone can give me advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Stu-try posting Here on Trip Advisor tonnes of posts on BC travel not necessarily to do with fishging.

That being said warm and no vegetation is going to be tough in freshwater.

Christina Lake has cabins, campsites, picnic areas and nice beach. It is a beauty lake because it is completely tree lines and very beautiful there. It is also one of the warmest lakes in north America i believe. Its very close to Grand Forks. That makes it about a 5hr drive but worth it. There are some decent size trout in the lake. Has kokanne and bass. Best time to fish it is spring. In the summer you can rent boats there for little cost and troll. Go deep tho.

preferably a warmer type lake... with half decent fishing

That might be a tough combination.....
Have you looked at Green Lake (Cariboo, not Whistler). We have a non-waterfront place there.

It's a fairly shallow lake(compared to Canim or Horse), so warms up quite quickly. Fairly high alkalinity which is bad for fishing, but results in clear, nearly weed-free water. Close proximity to lots of good fishing lakes, even at that time of year.

Thank you for all the tips, I will check them all out.

As for Christina Lake, we were there last year, the water is just great,
but be warned if you don't rent a waterfront house/cabin you are hosed.
There are only two public beaches on the
south side of the lake, the larger one is overgrown with vegetation, and the smaller one is probably around 60ft wide
and appropriately overcrowded (no washroom).
It is probably much nicer if you have a boat and can go up to one of the boat accessible beaches.
In peak season the rental prices are just too high, 2.5K and up per week.

Green lake looks interesting, is it suitable for swimming in late Jul?

Thank you again for the help.

We usually plan our summer vacation for the last week of July, first week of August. Last summer we recorded lake temperature of 23c on the surface and 20c at a depth of 3 ft. You could play in it ALL day if you wanted to.  Alot depends on the weather because it is at about 3500ft altitude. We do have pictures from about 8 years ago of us sitting around a fire eating soup in August! Certainly not typical, but it can happen.
Here's some pics from last summer at Green Lake.
