The owners were excellent and shared lots of ideas of things we could do in the area. The cabin was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Being so close to the ocean for 6 days was awesome.

One of natures best

Wonderful hosts always extremely helpful. An older cottage set in beautiful natural surroundings. The cottage is equipped with everything you need to enjoy and relax but feel a few days only would suffice, Unfortunately we booked for two weeks and were unlucky to have bad weather with a lot of rain.

Peaceful Paradise

If you are looking to experience the beauty, wildlife, and serenity of the northwest then this is the place! Cordelia and John's property is on a stunning point and surrounded by water on three sides with lots of trees - perfect for a lovely retreat. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and saw eagles, otters, seals, and herons. The cabin has all the modern amenities while also feeling as though you are in the wilderness - a great combination! Plus, Cordelia was a joy to talk with and was an absolute font of local lore and destinations which immeasurably improved our explorations and ramblings in North Saanich and Victoria! Would be very happy to return and grateful for our time there!

Picturesque & Quiet!

Our hosts John & Cordelia were so gracious & kind. We enjoyed the area for hiking & exploring. It is so quiet in Deep Cove, our visit was quick but we would happily return. The only disappointing thing was the patio doors were sealed due to the upcoming colder weather. That would have allowed us to get photos of the wildlife without scaring them away.

Peaceful, beautiful sanctuary!

This location is so beautiful and serene, you almost need to go nowhere else. Cordeia is quite gracious and helpful, and the cabin is comfortable and has all amenities. The neighborhood is lovely, and the town of Sidney charming, yet you are still realtively close to any other attractions. I would come back!

A wonderful long weekend at a fantastic property.

We wanted a little getaway to celebrate a birthday and anniversary and we were incredibly lucky to find this property and meet the owners Cordelia and John! It is truly like you are on a remote island. The property was immaculately clean and so cozy, the location and views were stunning, Cordelia and John were very helpful and welcoming - we didn't want to leave, and we will definitely be back again, and again.

Beautiful Views

We really enjoyed the gorgeous views and extremely clean and stocked cabin. Waking up to a beautiful ocean view in bed was amazing. Cordelia and John were pleasant hosts who supplied lovely recommendations of things to do in the area. The charcuterie plate upon arrival was such a nice surprise. Enjoyed the nature surrounding the spot… seals, otters, raccoons and hummingbirds. We really enjoyed our stay :)

About the host

Hosted by Cordelia Mcintosh

Host profile image
Coal Point consists of a private peninsula, connected by a footbridge to a small island named after our eldest son. It has been a home-away-from-home for many international visitors over the years. I am trilingual (English, German and some French). I love sharing the natural beauty of this area with my guests, and all it has to offer. Our family is committed to preserving the natural beauty of this unique property for the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage has been in the family for 3 generations. Visitors always remark on how special this property is. It has inspired both artists and writers. It is truly a refuge in every sense. We feel privileged to observe wildlife in its natural setting from our home on a daily basis. Seasonal changes attract different wildlife, and offer exceptional and varied viewing experiences year-round.

What makes this property unique

360 degree views. Steps from the beach. Exclusive access to private island. Hot tub overlooks the sights and sounds of beautiful Saanich Inlet. Listen to the seagulls call, the sea lions bark, the waves rolling into shore. Relax in the hammock, under our grove of Oak trees, watch the nesting bald eagles fish for dinner. Storm watch during winter months. Snorkel/dive and enjoy abundant sea creatures. Spring herring run makes the ocean come alive with wildlife. Amazing sunsets. Tidal pools. Summer bioluminescence! A 'foodies' delight!...Enjoy visits to a local organic farm stand, winery or fresh fish market in Sidney. Close to amenities, ferry, airport. Near Lochside Trail and Galloping Goose cycle paths.
