PARADISE! That's the first thing that entered our minds when we came to Galiano Island. Close to major cities, but yet you feel a million miles away. Many unspoiled, natural and wild beaches, friendly people and west coast wilderness all around.

Our house is nestled in a fir and arbutus forest, with lots of sunlight, fantastic ocean, mountain and sunset views, and a very cozy and comfortable house to relax in. There is not a single house to be seen from our Galiano Getaway Cottage so you can find the peace and quiet you have been looking for.

Children are welcome in our house as our house is child friendly. There's lots to do on the island; swim, bike, explore or shop... or you can relax on the deck and read your book!! If you are trying to get away from the 'Madding Crowd', give our house on Galiano Island a visit!!

Fabulous Ocean View House - September Specials!

Year Purchased: 1988

Why the Owner Chose Galiano Island

We have had so many wonderful times on Galiano Island. We exchanged our wedding vows with our family and friends around us in Bluff Park overlooking Active Pass, on Galiano in 1989. Since then we have spent time every summer with our two daughters exploring the island and spending time together. When we escape to Galiano from Vancouver for a few days,
we always feel rejuvenated and energized when we return to our busy city lives. In the spring and fall we try to get over
to the island with our friends- long weekends with other families, Jim with his poker friends and Amanda with her
women friends. The house is fabulous for just getting away and being together.

The Unique Benefits at this Cottage

Our favorite things to do on the island are walking in to Pebble Beach, jumping off the dock at the government dock at
the north end, walking around the trail at Montague Park, going for ice cream at the marina and scoops, shopping at
Ixchel craft shop, watching movies Saturday afternoon at the Gulf Islands film school, swimming at Morning beach or
Cable Bay, playing monopoly and reading books out on our deck and best of all, having a relaxing dinner out on our
deck as the sun goes down.

 

Owner's Map of Galiano Island

Jim and I live in Ladner, B.C. about a 15 minute drive from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal.
We have been married for 20 years and have been blessed with two wonderful daughters,
Ryley,19 and Whitney, 16. Jim has been a lawyer in Richmond B.C. for 27 years and I have
recently gone back to school where I am studying fine arts as well as work part-time
as a massage therapist. We love to travel, visit with friends and family, help raise BC Guide
Dogs, volunteer with local community events, and hang out with our daughters whenever
possible! We feel very fortunate that we were able to buy our Galiano house years ago and
have worked hard to fix it up over the years to make it a comfortable place for people to vacation.

    • We have enjoyed the Galiano Getaway several times in the past decade. We always have a great time in the comfortable, welcoming cottage. When we leave we miss the beautiful view, the smell of sea and forest, the company of eagles, the night sky views and the peaceful relaxation found there. Our favorite hike is Bodega Ridge and each beach access has its own special interests.

    • We had a great, relaxing and quiet week on Galiano Island. You house is a perfect getaway with everything needed: kitchen stuff, towels, BBQ, fan and heater. It was very comfortable and big enough for our family of 4. Our oldest son enjoyed his room in the basement. We enjoyed the deck very much, ate there almost every night and played scrabble there as well. Nice view on the channel and peaceful spot. We even did not use the CD player. I wanted real peace! Exploring the island was great. Everyday we headed up for a different place: Dionisio Park (once on our bike from your house, the other from the gate), The Bluffs, Mont Galiano, and Pebble Beach… Going back sometimes would be great.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean, well-equiped cottage. It is such a peaceful spot. We loved dining on the deck and enjoying the gorgeous view. Our two young boys had fun exploring the island's beaches and waterfronts.

    • Our family has spent time at this cottage most summers for the past 10 years. We were there a week ago and although set in a quiet area of the Island our teenage daughtes had a fabulous time. On our numerous visits we have climbed Mt. Galiano, walked the shores of Montague Harbour, watched eagles in Bluff Park, explored a number of seculed beaches as well as relaxed at the cottage playing games, listening to music, reading and enjoying the view from the deck. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful and quiet holiday in a very well equipped cottage.
