Wonderful Stay on Pender!

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!

A peaceful oasis

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.

What a wonderful stay!

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!

Ainslee Point cottage is absolutely wonderful

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!

A Magical Place

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.

My husband's all-time favourite holiday!

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!

Extraordinarily peaceful setting

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!

Consistently great!

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!

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 !

Heavenly Silence

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.

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.
