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 spectacular covered upper deck space with breathtaking views of Active Pass and neighbouring islands.
The property affords our guests complete seclusion and privacy nestled in acres of local cedars and firs with unlimited space for your relaxing vacation. It's the ideal place for couples, families, and gatherings of all kinds.
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! This property and home have been described by guests as "Bliss!".
The home's main floor master bedroom features a solid mahogany canopy bed, with private access to the main deck. The king-sized bedroom on the first floor featues a gorgeous Virginian antique solid wrought iron bed. All four bedrooms are very tastefully decorated and furnished in a west-coast style with forest and ocean views.
Five bicycles on site for use. A picturesque swimming beach is a short bike ride or walk away. Visitors explore the numerous bays and sandstone caves while the clildren collect sea shells and play in the sand. Two grocery stores, a wonderful bakery, pub and several restaurants on the island all add to the convenience of 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.
Cable TV, Wireless Internet, a fully functioning pub-style wet bar, games room and piano are all here for you and your family to enjoy!

Family gathering to celebrate a 75th! Everything perfect including (suprisingly) the weather. Really appreciated the Xmas tree and lights and top-of-the line appliances and cookware!

This beautiful house on this beautiful island was an amazing, comfortable stay. The bed downstairs is the best! My friends and I enjoyed some hiking trails at Mt. Parke and a nice walk to Campbell Bay. Check out the bakery...they make delish homemade soup :) Can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Five women artists, four from Ontario; and were we not inspired! As well as being very comfortable. The captain of the boat,our nephew, toured around Mayne Island and we painted all day on his boat. It was grand! Thanks to Peter. PS Dear Peter: Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Beautiful home. Beautiful island.

June 16-20 Enjoyed our thirtieth "Mother's of all retreats", originally known as "Mother's Day Retreat". The "Fab five" had a great time on the lovely island of Mayne. Your home/retreat offered us a beautiful place and comfort to enjoy fine dining and good company. Too bad Mayne Island doesn't have more water. Maybe a dry sauna and a bucket of water would appease the yearning for the spa factor. We thoroughly had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. "Fab 5"
