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!!

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.
