Mayne Island is the most historical of the Gulf Islands situated between Vancouver and Victoria. There are about 1100 full-time residents.
Our 2800sqft house was built in 2008 and features glass, wood, granite and slate throughout. A unique feature is the bridge over the living and dining area to a cozy upper deck area.
You will find lots of space for your relaxing vacation. It's a great place for couples or families.
The property has west facing ocean views of Active Pass and the mountains of Vancouver Island beyond. The vast, expansive surroundings make for a wildlife/bird-watcher's paradise!
The master bedroom features a canopy bed, with private access to the decks.
Bicycles on site for use. A good swimming beach is a short ride or walk away. There are two grocery stores, a wonderful bakery, pub and several restaurants on the island.
You can get to Mayne Island (Village Bay) by taking a BC Ferry from Victoria (Swartz Bay) or Vancouver (Tsawwassen). See BC Ferries website for schedules for the Southern Gulf Islands.
In 2009 we added Cable TV, High Speed Wireless Internet, a fully functioning pub-style wet bar, games room and piano!

What an amazing home. The views, the deer, so peaceful and quiet. It was a fabulous time for our family to gather together. Thanks for giving us a lovely place to top off the wedding of our niece.

We booked this house to stay in as we were attending a family wedding on the island. It made a fabulous home base for the family. There was nothing that we missed, it had all the comforts of home...the deer greeted us outside the window in the early morning. The ravens called to each other from high atop the trees. We saw bald eagles on on more than one occasion...just breathtaking!!!!
