About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Book your waterfront stay!

Situated in spectacular Whaler Bay a quick 5 minute walk from the Sturdies Bay Ferry Terminal and all amenities - A calm serene bay with stunning views down the bay and beyond, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding and launching your kayaks or canoes. View our resident kingfisher perched on his pole, otters playfully frolicking stirring the glass-like water, watch for 'Sammy' the seal who comes round in the evening to check things out and watch the herons skillfully fish for their dinner. Galiano is also the perfect spot to see the many pods of whales that travel through our waters in the summer time.

We are available for rent year–round. So cozy–up to the wood burning fire and enjoy a good book in the winter or sit out on the deck with a refreshment on those hot summer days.

Recently redecorated bright open–space living & dining area with a cozy fireplace. Fully furnished 2 bedroom cottage, 1 queen and 2 double beds, and 1 full bath. Our fully supplied kitchen comes stored with dishes, cookware and appliances so you don't need to worry. The fireplace is a cozy accessory for those crisp winter days and fall evenings. The large 300 sq. ft. deck is the perfect place to relax on the deck chairs and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and views of spectacular Whaler Bay. There's also a propane barbecue so you can grill up your summer faves.

Enjoy the bounty of Provincial Parks, spectacular views, and wildlife every where you go and breathe that fresh island air. The natural beauty of Galiano Island invites relaxation, exploration and excitement.

Indulge in a bottle of wine and perhaps head down to Montague Harbour and pick up a fresh catch of local seafood the island has to offer.

Nice home on Sturdies Bay. It’s a long drive to the north end of the island if your event is there (like ours was). Finding the house was a bit tricky when it was getting dark, but once you know where it is it is very convenient.

Perfect escape
It was better than we expected! So peaceful, convenient, beautiful. We loved watching the otters, deer, raccoons and herons on the beach. It was a perfect escape for our family to relax and reconnect. The house had everything we needed and it was clean. Watched some vhs movies and read some new books.

Beautiful spot for wildlife, relaxation, and easy access to all amenities.
Great location, perfect spot for wildlife watching from the window and raised terrace, The highlight was seeing 6 otters all together on the jetty just tens of metres from the house, plus 2 fawns regularly in the garden, racoons, hummingbirds and kingfishers too. Only a short walk to all of the amenties you need, and a very short drive to great look-out spots on Active Pass. The property was exactly as described, only better! My only suggestion is that it would be great if there were kayaks for use too.

Galiano mini vacation
Hi, We arrived in time to see the Kingfisher which was exciting. In the morning we saw a Bald Eagle catch a fish right in front of the cottage. This was all within 12 hours of our arrival. The cottage was as depicted in the photos. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom is lovely. We would definitely rent this cottage again.

The cabin is located right on a quiet bay a mere 3 min walk from the village centre. It is perfectly located for easy access to the island's highlights. Watching local wildlife from the cabin's windows is the perfect way to while away many hours.

Incredible Beachfront Cottage
Andrea was a wonderful host. The cottage was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Beautiful views and quiet location with easy access (5 min walk) to terrific bakery & restaurants. Easy launch of kayaks with the tide in. Lots of wildlife - osprey, harbour seals, deer. Short drive to Montague Harbor. Can't wait to return!

Pretty Cottage
I really enjoyed this cottage and all the lovely design touches. It’s a great location to ferry and to shops for walking. It’s comfortable, simple and clean. The water is beautiful to watch the tides come in and out and the changing wildlife and colours are mesmerizing. The island is magnificent and the hikes and walks are spectacular and less developed than other gulf islands. Slower pace here which is so wonderful.

Thank you again for letting us stay in your little piece of heaven. The weather was cold but the house was inviting and my daughters and husband and myself really enjoyed our stay again. The movies and fire and everything you could ever need in a kitchen made the trip a success! Thank you PS Next time I hope Max and Moritz is open, but at least we brought back the sauce! Babe in the Woods had delicious food!

The cottage was just lovely and was very clean and nicely appointed. The bathroom was beautifully renovated and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The cottage has a fabulous waterfront location where we watched deer, herons, woodpeckers and owls right off the deck. Very relaxing, quiet and peaceful location that is close to the ammenities. We went on many fantastic day hikes with stunning views, wildlife and awesome sandstone rock formations. We would return in a heartbeat to this little gem of a cottage on Galiano Island.

Fabulous location, beautiful and relaxing inlet view, right by the water. So much to see from the property and so much to do on the Island. We got to see kingfishers, deer, osprey, heron. It was fun to paddle board right from the property. If we had timed the tides right for our stay, we could have kayaked as well from the property. Everything was in the cabin that you would need.
