Pilot Bay Guest Studio is a recently built, post-and-beam cottage located on the same property as Pilot Bay Guest House on beautiful Gabriola Island, British Columbia. It offers a quiet retreat in a beautiful forest of majestic cedars and douglas fir. It has every convenience for up to four people who want to be able to do their own cooking, laundry, etc. (If you have more than 4 people in your group please call us BEFORE reserving to discuss whether we can accomodate you.)

We are open from April until Canadian Thanksgiving. Special arrangement might be made outside these dates.

The Studio is located 3 km from the Gabriola Ferry from Nanaimo and can be easily reached by car or by plane. A float plane will take you directly to Vancouver Airport in 15 minutes, and your hosts will be happy to arrange a taxi.

Check out by 11:00 am. Check-in between 4:00 and 6:00 pm unless previously arranged. No check-in after 9:00 pm.

We require a deposit equal to one-half the total payment at time of booking. If you are required to cancel up to 14 days before arrival, we will credit you with 100% of the deposit. If you are required to cancel within 14 days of arrival, we will return the deposit if we are able to rent the cottage to others. Please inquire as to what cleaning we ask that you do before departure.

                We were pleased to be able to spend another relaxing long weekend in this delightful cottage. The cottage is immaculately clean, cozy and well appointed and is located in a forest setting a few steps from the water's edge. It offers the opportunity for a completely private getaway or a stay full of island activities. The owners are travellers and outdoor enthusiasts and are well informed about all of the island's activities, restaurants and artisans. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone considering a stay on beautiful Gabriola! The island and its residents exude a peaceful West Coast charm which will bring you back again and again.

                Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

                Dear Suzanne and Dick: What a magical month I have experienced on this beautiful island. Thank you for helping me to make my "experimental" retirement a positive experience. Your wonderful cottage has been the perfect place to relax after my days of exploring and adventuring. A beautiful island filled with warm and welcoming people. I hope one day to call it home.

                Dear Suzanne and Dick We are so glad you "rescued" us at the last minute and allowed us to enjoy your lovely cozy cottage. We take away many wonderful memories of Pilot Bay and leave you with our combined and genuine thanks for what you did to make it a perfect reunion for the family.

                What a fabulous place to come and spend a few days of R & R! Your cottage was just perfect for us. We enjoyed reading by the little read stove, had a BBQ one night, walked a bit of the beach, saw some local art, had a great dinner at the A Frame-highly recommended! Great to meet both of you! Hope to be back again!

              Year Purchased: 2000

              About the owner: We are two retired lawyers chasing our dream of retiring to a bed and breakfast (Pilot Bay Guesthouse) and a cottage on one of the most beautiful locations on earth.

              Why the Owner Chose Gabriola Island:
              We built our cottage from douglas fir milled on the property, in a classic coachhouse style. We came here for many weekends while we were still working in Vancouver. We chose the location because of the beautiful waterfront, the ease of access, and the flora and fauna of the island. Gabriola is an island of the arts, with music and artisans' studios everywhere.

              The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
              The cottage is a quick drive, ride or walk to the Gabriola ferry. It sits on a waterfront property just behind the Pilot Bay Guest House and there is easy access to Pilot Bay down a few steps carved in the rocks. At low tide we can walk forever. We are visited by eagles, herons, hawks, seagulls, robins, various woodpeckers, hummingbirds, the list could go on forever. Seals and otters are in the bay, and ocassionally whales pass by.
