Bella Haven on Saturna....
Oceanfront Beach House....
Perfect Getaway for Two.
BC Reg #H714457739
Bella Haven ("beautiful refuge") is a favourite getaway for many Saturna visitors. A bright and airy beach house set on a picturesque half-acre, adjacent to our home. Overlooking Lyall Harbour, you will have front row seats to spectacular summer sunsets and the ever-changing vista.
It's perfect for one or two people looking to experience the uniqueness of Saturna Island and the beauty of the seasons in the Southern Gulf Islands.
Lyall Harbour is safe for swimming. There are no predators, such as bears or cougars, on Saturna.
We have sought to equip Bella Haven to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a memorable stay. The open-plan living space, and the many windows, provide a feeling of spaciousness and light. Although there are no laundry facilities in the beach house, arrangements can be made, by appointment, to use the washer and dryer in our house if required.
* We must mention our big friendly pooches, Dudley and Angus! They will greet you from the other side of the fence, but have no access to your patio or living space. They may be "vocal" upon your arrival but they settle quickly.
Our beautiful and peaceful setting lends itself to relaxation, but is also a perfect home-base for: - photographers - hikers - cyclists - nature lovers - star gazers - scuba divers - kayakers - writers - artists -beachcombers ....and dreamers
Nearly 50% of Saturna Island is protected by the Gulf Islands National Park. Additional parks bring the total of protected areas close to 70%. There are breathtaking views and vast areas to explore. As well, Saturna is one of the premiere land-based whale watching locations in the Gulf Islands.
Saturna is an island of extraordinary, unspoiled beauty. Make "Bella Haven" YOUR Gulf Island Getaway.... Treat yourself!
Travel to Saturna via BC Ferries or Seair Seaplanes from Vancouver, and by BC Ferries from Victoria. *When travelling from Vancouver via BC Ferries in the summer months it's imperative to book reservations WELL in advance.

Wow! This is an exceptionally well designed space that is incredibly well appointed and located in an idyllic setting. Sue and Rob have thought about every detail, from the deck with fire table and Weber barbecue (where we also enjoyed watching the rufous hummingbirds) to the sleeping, cooking and other amenities. This is a great place for launching sea kayaks for an exploration of world class paddling waters or just settling in to watch the sunset with a nice glass of wine.
Sue and Rob were great hosts and were available to attend to any of our needs, while respecting our privacy. If you are looking for serenity, quiet and dark skies at night with no interruptions, this is the place to go.
Bella Haven is a fantastic place to stay on Saturna Island! The view is amazing, and the guesthouse is thoughtful, cute, and comfortable. The hosts are fantastic and their dogs are adorable. No stay on Saturna would be complete without a trip to the amazing East Point so try and work that in as well. A fantastic getaway.
The cottage was just as described. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was great! Just beautiful! The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We’d love to stay here again and would definitely recommend it highly.
What a lovely space this is - so comfortable, so clean and so well decorated, that it truly feels like a home away from home - it has a lovely 'feel'. And of course, the fabulous sunsets! Sue and Rob were welcoming hosts, and were extremely prompt in addressing a very minor issue we had. We enjoyed a wonderful few days away here on Saturna, and would highly recommend Bella Haven to others. One of the nicest rentals we've ever stayed at.
The ocean view from the suite was incredible. The suite itself was extremely clean, updated and comfortable. Sue and Roy were friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our stay!

We felt very welcome and enjoyed the quiet environment, excellent facilities, central location and spending time on the beach side deck. Thanks Sue and Rob!
First time to Saturna Island and it did not disappoint. This home was the ideal choice for us as a base to explore this unique gem of the Gulf Islands. The island is quiet and a bit isolated and that makes it pretty relaxing and special. Highly recommend this home to rent.
Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, beautiful property and accommodations. Top sot on Saturna, we would definitely book again and recommend this place, thank you Sue and Rob for being such excellent hosts!

Hosts are very friendly and helpful! The view in front of the cottage is spectacular. Such a lovely place. Also the cottage inside was so nice and clean. We have everything we needed. We will definitely come back and recommend our family members and friends.
Best cabin in the Gulf Islands. Great view down a classic sunset bay with distant mountains. Brand new, very well designed space. Private, but owners there to help out and answer questions.
On the scale of 5, Sue and Rob bend the needle. We’ve stayed at VRBO properties for 25 years and Bella Haven surpassed all of them for the quality of the beach house design, the well-equipped kitchen and the comfortable bed. We had everything we needed, and more. Birding books are often found, but Bella Haven actually includes birding binoculars!The best feature of Bella Haven is its location: the view from the deck is amazing, the silence and tranquility are spellbinding. The sun, the beach and the stars at night! We sat there for hours.Sue and Rob, you are gracious hosts and we enjoyed your company. Thank you.
So quiet that our ears were ringing. Walked all over the island without any stress knowing there are no cougars or bears. Highly recommend, would definitely go back. The views of the sunset going down over the harbour are insane.
Staying at Bella Haven on Saturna was wonderful! Both the accommodation and attention to detail was excellent. It is a clean, well equipped, organized cozy cottage with a great view over looking Lyall Harbour. Our hosts, Sue and Rob were welcoming, friendly, generous and very easy to communicate with. Without a doubt we will be returning to Bella Haven. Definitely a 5 star*❣️Joanne & Richard
Excellent cabin! Perfect for us! Everything you need and more! Very well looked after, decorated very nice, comfortable king size bed. Beautiful cove with fantastic sunsets. The island had very interesting site seeing and hikes. Sue and Rob are very welcoming and helpful. Dudley is sweet!
Peaceful quiet and complete. Sharp knives, cutting board, coffee, grinder, excellent coffee maker for strong coffee, REAL coffee cups.
View down the inlet was complete, short walk to store and docks. Red Chairs at sunset !!
thank you Sue and Rob
Best to Dudley & Angus
We very much enjoyed our stay at Bella Haven and highly recommend it to others. The accommodations had everything we needed, was very comfortable and well-supplied. Beautiful outdoor areas with the patio and surrounding garden, and the seating area out by the water. The location is amazing being right on the water with great sunset views, it was a perfect place to launch our kayak from.
Sue, Rob, Dudley and Angus were all super-friendly and a pleasure to meet. We hope to come back again in the future!
Beautiful setting for watching the spectacular sunset beyond the bay. With a glass of local wine. Super-helpful hosts. The cottage is fitted out to perfection, from the elegant crockery to the warm throw to the make-up flannel to the information folder. Highly recommended.
Bella Haven surpassed expectations (and we are picky). The owners thought of every detail - from gorgeous design, all new and stylish appliances, utensils, cookware and dishes, heated bathroom floor, full sized fidge, dishwasher and comfortable king sized bed...and everything is imaculately clean and well maintained. The unit comes with its own patio, full BBQ, quality Adirondack chairs and the best sunset views on the island. Hosts Rob and Sue are so helpful and friendly.
A number of locals said this is the best place to stay on the island and we agree. We will be back!
A charming cottage with breathtaking views and sunsets, perfect for a serene getaway! Well-equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.
