Charming Ocean View House with Hot Tub

Views are incredible. The house was clean & had everything we needed. Instructions for everything were very clear. Would love to visit again!

Cozy, beautiful space and friendly, helpful host!

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the cottage. Beautiful views and very relaxing. And very close to the stunning Mount Norman hike!

This is a beautiful, spacious vacation rental with a lovely view of the Plumper Strait between South Pender Island and Saturna Island. Snow-capped mountains on the B.C. mainland also are visible on clear days. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the basement, a hot tub, and an outside grill. A covered deck extends the length of the side of the house facing the sea, with double French doors providing access from both the living room and one of the bedrooms. Comfortable chairs make this an inviting spot. The owner has thoughtfully provided two pairs of binoculars and a local bird guide as well as a number of books for both children and adults. A number of games are in the drawer under the books. A television with cable access, a DVD player, and a stereo system are in the living area. The WiFi speed (about 5 Mbps during our visit) is too slow to support streaming content, but a selection of DVDs is piled in a basket next to the entertainment center. The wood stove is very effective on cool evenings, with an excellent draft to prevent any smoke from entering the living room. Wood is provided. The entrance to the property is immediately before the entrance for the Mount Norman trailhead in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The property itself is set back from Canal Road and is very private — two neighboring properties are up the drive but out of view. Mike was very responsive to emailed questions and called me to help resolve a tech issue we had when trying to watch a DVD. We would caution visitors to pay extra attention when negotiating the steps outside the front door. The top step is much narrower than the broad second step and it is easy to misjudge that.
