Peaceful and Adventurous

The location was right on the low bank waterfront and we were fascinated watching the tides roll in and out. Wonderful water birds played out on the water and the host's binoculars were perfect. Lots of opportunities to get out and walk along the beaches, coves and out to the point with beautiful views. A lovely and unique location that is hard to match at such a reasonable price.

Wonderful

This was the perfect family getaway. Our 4 YO loved being able to make multiple trips to the beach each day. We loved that we could still enjoy the views while our youngest was napping. The cottage had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

This Property is Special!

Tucked away in its own spot away from it all, yet just minutes to Poet's Cove Resort, this home is awesome! Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Just steps from the beach. From the deck or the living room, enjoy watching the surf, wildlife and cruise ships! Highly recommend.

one of the best on the southern Gulf Islands

This property and location has what you are looking for. Do nothing, relax, read a book, walk the beach, watch the wildlife, nap in the sun. Do everything, bike, hike, golf, get out on the water. Eat in or eat out. Perfect!

This home is situated steps from the ocean, an easy walk to beautiful trails and minutes from Poet's Cove Resort with its amenities. It is tastefully yet comfortably appointed with a wood burning fireplace, deck chairs and a large, modern kitchen. We loved it and hope to return.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house is comfortable, clean, and modern. We saw orcas a few times, otters, seals, deer, and eagles all from the outdoor couch and beach. A perfect place for a memory making vacation. Thank you!

A piece of Heaven on Earth

We were delighted to return to this cabin, which is our favourite VRBO property. The oceanfront location, cozy accommodations, spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing always recharges our batteries and makes us feel on top of the world! John Mann is an impeccable host; cannot recommend this property highly enough!

Excellent vacation rental

Top notch cabin, exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, well equipped. And the view is of course outstanding. There’s also a good sized garden area to run around in. The beach is on your doorstep and really is fantastic for kids and adults alike; the rock pools have more diverse sea life than any other cabin we’ve stayed at. The beach also extends to the east a long way, providing for some good walks and scrambles on the rocks. We've stayed at many gulf island/Sunshine Coast cabins over the years, but were particularly happy here.

Heavenly

Extreme Tranquility. Staying here (even with 3 crazy children under the age of 7) was like being in another world. You must experience the bliss! If you want to unwind and forget about everything except the natural beauty of the universe you should come here. The house itself is bright, fresh, extremely clean and had everything we needed. Host was easy to reach and the whole experience was just perfect.

Our favorite stay so far!

This is a such beautiful serene property! The cottage has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the ocean and skylights, very bright and spacious, perfect for 2 couples. There were lots of thoughtful touches like boardgames, excellent binoculars and a book about local birds, and a cozy woodburning fireplace... the list goes on. We saw a group of dolphins, and a seal right from the patio. We brought our kayaks and this was the perfect place to launch them from. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by John Mann

Host profile image
Our family is in Vancouver and we wanted a retreat where we could get together, to relax and get away from the city.

Why they chose this property

Our search for a family retreat was over as soon as we saw this property. Having looked at properties on all of the Gulf Islands, this was the only south-facing, low bank oceanfront/beachfront with expansive views of the water. We knew immediately that it was the one!

What makes this property unique

The ocean view is simply stunning and the beach is literally a stone's throw from the house. Whether we are sitting on the deck or in the living room, even at the sink in the kitchen, we can't take our eyes off of it and the abundant wildlife it is home to.
