Location: Galiano Island, The Islands, British Columbia, Canada (50 Minute Ferry Ride Fr. Vancouver & 10 Minute Walk To Beach)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Perched high on 5 acres of mature fir, arbutus & cedar forest, this roomy, four bedroom home has spectacular ocean, mountain & sunset views over Trincomali Channel, Vancouver & Saltspring Islands.
While eating your breakfast out on the 500 square foot deck you will likely see Ravens or Pileated Woodpeckers that nest nearby, or you may see several of the resident Bald Eagles soaring above. Picture yourself reading in the afternoon sun out on the deck while the kids amuse themselves on the trampoline or play croquet on the lawn. Enjoy a delicious barbecue after a vigorous hike on the many trails located just a few minutes from your island retreat. In the evenings, watch the spectacular sunset as you gather the family to sing around the antique upright piano. Or enjoy perennial cottage favorites, such as Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly or Balderdash.
Renovations, completed at the end of September 2006, include an enlarged master bedroom and ensuite bathroom, with new Berber carpet & wood flooring. Watch boats cruise through the channel through the large picture window at the foot of your bed! We have also created a gourmet kitchen with custom birch cabinets and new appliances, including a cappuccino & ice makers. Custom windows and 3 skylights allow in lots of natural light. Original artwork beautifies the walls. New tile & wood floors have been installed throughout the open plan living, kitchen & dining area. New washer, dryer & vinyl flooring have been installed in the spacious laundry facility. The yard & garden has been fully landscaped, with fresh salad greens & herbs available to enhance your dining pleasure.
