Beautiful cottage on the waterfront with a small private beach and dock. Amazing, super helpful and lovely hosts.Lots of deer on the property and Kingfishers diving of the dock rail for fish.A great central spot on the Islands.We would definitely stay again at this slice of heaven.
Fabulous beach view and cottage really well appointed with everything one needed for a comfortable stay.The extremely steep driveway was a challenge both coming and going!

Enjoyed having you and your puppy visit us. I agree the driveway is challenge but at least it is a cement topping

Delighted to have you and your dog., Rose. You left the cottage in great shape. Thank you. Hope you catch more crabs next time..
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage in August - from seeing otters, deer, seals and osprey, to swimming in the ocean every day, all aspects were delightful! Alma and Mack (and Callum) were fantastic hosts, we hope to visit again next year!

Thank you Melinda. It was delightful to have you here. With Light
The cottage is a great place to relax with private beach access from which to launch our kayaks. It was comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. We appreciated the wildlife and the regular boat traffic. The views of the water and the peace and quiet were what we enjoyed the most.

exceptional stay, gorgeous cabin & ocean setting & great people
superb cottage on water with excellent dock and shore, with warm kind hosts and amazing hikes in the area. Far surpassed our exceptions. Hosts so kind, checking in on us. Amazing place, one of my favourite places in BC.

Loved having you. You have a lot more energy than us. Glad you enjoyed the hikes. With Light, Alma & Mack
My family and I have been visiting Pender Island almost every summer for years, and this is the first time we stayed at Ainslie Point Cottage. We were very impressed by how clean, comfortable and well stocked it was. The kids loved playing on the private beach. Alma was a lovely and communicative host. Thank you for the wonderful stay, we would love to come back again!
The cottage is exactly as described. It’s very clean, water access is phenomenal and you can fish and crab from the dock. The hosts are incredibly kind and very responsive. This is an excellent property.

You were great guests and we know you had fun. Thank you for excellent clean up. Hope to see you again.
To sum it up, on a phone call with our daughter, she said “ Mom, your voice sounds so relaxed!” And I owe it all to our stay here! Thank you Alma and Mack!

It makes us feel so good when you enjoy your stay. It's so amazing what relaxation can do. thank you
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in the Ainslee Point cottage. Alma and Mack were very kind and considerate. The cottage is beautifully set up with everything you could possibly need. The location is just stunning. We loved being within walking distance to so many great hiking trails, ie mount Norman. We enjoyed canoe rides in their beautiful bay. We will definitely be going back!

Look forward to seeing you again. Sorry you had to leave early. Thank you leaving everything so clean,
What a wonderful magical place. We spent an idyllic few days at Ainslie Point Cottage with everything we could possibly need. The cottage was spotless and really well equipped including tea, coffee, and other store cupboard items as well as washer, dryer and we even had the use of a rowing boat or canoe too. Best of all was the magnificent view soaked up from the comfy sofa on the veranda or from the chairs on the large deck. Thank you Alma and Mack for sharing this corner of paradise.

It was great to meet you and sorry we weren’t around to spend more time with you. We appreciated the email communication. Delighted to have you as guests. Alma & Mack
We just spent a fabulous week at Alma and Mack's cottage on Ainslie Point. It is truly a paradise there. We had every kind of weather, from power-outing storms and torrential rains to warm sun and clear skies, and the cottage (with its spacious surrounding decks) was the ideal place to be. My husband loved snorkelling from the dock and all around the shore, and there were wonderful hikes and viewpoints nearby. Alma and Mack are charming hosts, and have provided everything one could possibly need. What a perfect way to bring in fall!

You certainly did have mixed weather patterns and handled it really well. You were great guests and we look forward to seeing you next year
This was our third stay at this property for my husband and me. Once again, we found it the ideal setting for a peaceful, private, and relaxing getaway. The cottage is the perfect size for two people and it is bright and sunny inside. We spent almost all our time just hanging out on the large deck looking at the ocean, listening to the birds, and watching the boats slow down to go under the bridge. There are a couple of good hikes within a short walk from the property. Mack and Alma are friendly and helpful hosts, and always available when we had questions. We feel very lucky to have found this place and have already booked to return again next year!

Thanks for your review Loren. We enjoy your presence and look forward to seeing you next year
My husband and I came to the cottage for our second time for our weeklong holiday. It was every bit as good as the first time! Mac and Alma are amazing hosts who made us feel welcome and relaxed. The property is gorgeous and quiet, but with the visual interest of watching all the boats go by heading for the bridge. It’s hard to imagine a nicer deck. At any time of day you can choose between full sun, dappled sunlight from the Arbutus tree, or full shade. We can’t wait to return again next year!

Thank you for your review and we look forward to seeing you again
This was absolutely awesome!. When you come up the driveway and see the view , it is amazing. There is a beautiful ocean view from every window. The house is extremely clean.
It has everything you could possibly need. We love to hike and there is plenty of beautiful places to go.
So peaceful. Watch the sun go down on lovely deck overlooking the ocean in the evening.
Highly recommend .
Thankyou so much Elma for sharing your piece of paradise !

Thank you Sharon for your comments. Sorry we didn’t have a chance to connect and want you to know how we appreciate how clean you left our cottage.
We were happily surprised when we arrived to see the property we saw on line was so much than we anticipated...breathtaken.
Alma, Mack and Callem were super hosts.
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home and its surrounding.
Also, allowing us to try our hand at crabbing though we were not lucky to catch any.
There's always next year.
Thank you again Alma and Mack.

We were delighted to have you and Cocoa and Pinto. Callum had so much fun. Sorry about the crabs . Guess just not the season
Cozy, well-kept, great views and decks. Private beach. Well-equiped. Comfortable living room furniture. Great feeling of Pender Island. It is down a steep hill (although paved and well-lit) and may not work well for elderly folks. On the whole, a wonderful find for a stay on Pender.
