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, and games room and piano!
