Why the Owner Chose Point Roberts
We bought our cottage in Point Roberts because of its unique location. Close to all the amenities of Vancouver B.C. yet quiet and serine as only can be found in Point Roberts. Once you cross the border from Canada it’s like entering another land. The weather is mostly clear compared to the lower mainland and gets 60% more sun. Point Roberts is mostly small cottages close to the several beaches found there. Our South Beach is one of the nicest and is private so that one doesn’t have to fight the crowds. We have our own float as well. Most of the people you meet, especially in the summer, are vacationers and a festive aura envelopes the community. Our cottage is only a few steps from the beach and has one of the best views of the Georgia Straight with the Gulf Islands and all the activity on the water. The Point Roberts Marina is only a few blocks away and enters directly onto the straight. The fishing and especially crabbing are great sport if you have a small boat. Clam digging and beach combing are also great fun. If you visit from Canada you’ll see that the price of spirits, gasoline and food are considerably less.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Our cottage is four houses up from our own private beach. Lilly Point Park and Light House Park are a short walk or bike ride down the road. One can also walk the shoreline all the way around the point to Maple Beach. The marina and restaurant are only a few blocks down the road. Closer yet is the South Beach House Restaurant just down the way. There are two pubs at the Point and several restaurants including a great cyber cafe where you can connect to the internet, either with your own lap top or one of theirs. The International Market is close by and carries everything one would need. If you like golf, there is the Point Roberts Golf and Country Club which offers a professional 18 hole course. If you want to experience downtown Vancouver or the even closer towns of Tsawwassen and Ladner in Canada, the border is a few minutes up the road.
