The coach house on the cove on Pender Island is an idyllic vacation experience. Jane and Dennis are exceptional hosts and their property is beyond fantastic. The location along the water is outstanding - if you are a boater it’s a paradise. The coach house is so comfortable, clean and well maintained - has the most beautiful deck to have dinners on. We had the best week and will definitely return next summer.

Beautiful relaxing stay

A perfect location with easy access to gorgeous walks. The cottage was very clean and the views over the water were wonderful. One of our favourite things was definitely reading on the upstairs balcony/ patio and looking out at the marine life, birds and trees. Lovely warm welcome from Jane and Dennis too!

Awesome location.

Extremely quiet and peaceful. Tremendous hosts and great spot for a romantic get-a-way. SOOO much to do on Pender Island. Mt Norman hike is awesome. Beaumont trail is challenging but worth the destination. Make sure you have lunch or dinner at Poet's Cove and watch the sunset at Thieves Bay..

So glad you enjoyed your stay. There are miles of hiking trails on Pender Island that lead to stunning views and ocean access points. Thieves Bay is also a great place to see the whales when they are in the area.

Impossibly perfect in every way

The owner provided great clear communications and directions. She has a wonderful binder at the property with all the key facts and overview of Pender history. The property and gardens are beautifully organized and maintained. The setting is ideal with fairy like light in the mornings and evenings through which you can enjoy the views from the private deck while boats slowly pass through the waters and seals throw an occasional flip for your entertainment. The tranquil quiet of this property is ideal for long reads of a good book or just an afternoon nap. There are groceries a short drive away as well as restaurants and coffee. This property is also dog friendly with a great beach mere steps away at Mortimer Spit. Exceptional in every way.

We had a wonderful week on Pender Island, and staying in Jane and Dennis’ coach house was the cherry on top! The property is in an ideal location right on the canal, in between the north and south islands. So much wildlife and boater activity on the water right in front of the house…we were endlessly entertained! The coach house is darling with two decks overlooking the water, big windows and skylights with lots of natural light, a loft bedroom well stocked kitchen and a cute little sitting area. It’s just then right size for two people. As easy as it would have been to stay put and enjoy the property, we explored as much of the island as possible and found hikes with stunning views, beaches, markets, the museum, and of course so many local artisans and makers. It’s so easy to love being on Pender Island and at the coach house, and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you Jane and Dennis for a magical week!

Absolutely perfect!

This is an adorable, cozy and well appointed coach house. The bed is super comfortable. The wood burning fireplace is ideal for taking the chill off the odd cool night, while also adding a romantic touch - the supplied wood and kindling was appreciated. West facing views over the bay served up wonderful evening sunsets as well as interesting views of the odd passing boat or kayaker from the deck with morning coffees. Pender Island is well set up for exploring with numerous marked beach access trails or viewpoints. A lot of thought and care has gone into the making of this property, which only adds to the enjoyment. Jane and Dennis are wonderful hosts. We could easily have stayed longer and look forward to returning in the near future.

Wonderful and peaceful cottage

My wife and I just completed a wonderful week at a superb cottage on Pender Island. Location : adjacent to the house of our hosts, the cottage is located at the very beginning of South Pender Island, minutes away from grocery and other stores and from walking and hiking trails. Cottage: very private with all the equipment and amenities one needs (kitchen has all for cooking, excellent wireless, bluetooth music, TV, BBQ); there is nice patio on the main floor and a balcone on the bedroom floor , both facing the ocean...view is unparalleled, all in a peaceful and calm environment. Our hosts were simply gracious and fantastic: warm welcome, discrete and dealt promptly with our few questions/requests: no doubt that they are an important positive element of our stay. The property is well organized to ease up the daily housekeeping functions. On the island we visited a dear friend who knew exactly where we were staying and who did mentioned that this cottage was one of the best accommodations on the island, if not the best one...this says it all! Peaceful and restful stay in a cosy and attractive cottage surrounded by nature and the ocean: one cannot wish better than that....Highly recommended by m y wife and I.

Awesome!

My wife and I just spend a week at this property and it was incredibile. The hosts were very nice and the property was beautiful. You could spend the entire week just sitting on the deck watching the wildlife. We most morings watching the otters, seals, racoons (much to our hosts dismay), herons, kingfishers, ravens, etc. I would highly recommend this place.
