Why the Owner Chose Pender Islands
We live and raised a family of four in Victoria BC. We wanted a vacation Cottage close enough to visit on a daily as well as weekly basis. On Pender Island we were able to obtain an excellent undeveloped lot on which to build a place of our own design
The Unique Benefits at this House
The house has 8 ft. high windows overlooking a small bay with a national park reserve across the bay. We have water access and a small dock in the bay suitable for boats up to 18 ft. The Bay is a perfect spot to Kayak from and you can store your kayaks on the dock safely. the house is fully equipped with all kitchen appliances including dishwasher and microwave. A built in vacuum is available. We have decking on 3 sides of the house plus a lower deck at the ocean side protected from the rain and with a two person swing. As well as the water access on our property there is a small park with playground and beach within a five minute walk. The house is situated on a dead end road with only 6 other houses so their is no traffic noise

(Victoria, BC)
Date of Stay: 10/07/11
Review Submitted: 11/05/11
This property was beautiful. It had all the amenities needed to cook a big turkey and all the food for Thanksgiving. It is set in a quiet bay with a small park for the kids to play just a 5 minute walk away. It was immaculate and thanks to the owners we were able to find everything we needed. We went hiking with 2 trails within walking distance of the house. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
