About this property
Waterfront cottage on Galiano Island
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.

Relaxing getaway!
This is an amazing property with its own beach and fully equipped with everything we needed. We had a very relaxing weekend and would highly recommend to others.
The house was lovely and in a convenient location. The bay is a bit murky for swimming but great for paddling and there are lots of nice swimming beaches a close drive away.

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.
Comfortable beds, beautiful waterfront, newer bathroom with good shower, working wood fireplace, kitchen appliances all working well. Lots of nice small touches.
Great place, convenient location. It was nice watching the ducks on the water every morning. Well appointed, there was everything we needed. Definitely recommended.
Very attractive cabin, super spotless and comfortable ... small footprint but felt very spacious inside. We enjoyed a few throwback movies from the 90s!

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.
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.
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.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. This charming cottage offered us exactly what we needed.

If you want to enjoy a nice big, well-equipped, old-timey Island summer cottage, and don't mind road noise, this place would be perfect. It has a lovely view with the eponymous Kingfishers as well as Herons, Eagles, Hummingbirds, numerous songbirds and an Otter family to delight you. Deer browse in the back yard and it is well-stocked with firewood for the big, efficient, easy to use fireplace. I would have given it 5 stars if it had been farther away from a busy road.
