The host, Sandra was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. She has lots of suggestions for places to go and check out. The cottage itself was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for a getaway.
Everything was neat and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pots and pans. Washing machine was on the fritz so maybe ask in advance if it's working. Pocket view of the ocean. Quiet and serene.
This was our first time staying on Pender Island, and it was such a beautiful experience. We truly loved the cabin surrounded by forest, fresh air, and the peaceful ocean breeze. It felt like a perfect escape from city life. The wood-stove fireplace made it especially cozy and added to the charm of the space. Sandra was a wonderful host who was warm, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a tranquil island getaway.
A lovely, peaceful place to relax. Owners were lovely people, and super-prompt at responding to any needs. Outdoor bath is truly a special experience and the highlight of our stay.
Great property! Beautiful private location in the forest looking down towards the ocean. The property is very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The host was amazing at making sure we had everything we needed! Would highly recommend this property!
We thoroughly enjoyed our escape to Sandra’s cabin.Private and quiet.Peaceful and rejuvenating.Felt welcomed and did not want for anything.Very clean and organized.But rustic at the same time.Loved every moment.
Responsive, helpful host.Quiet and private location. Forest surrounds you with a nice patch of ocean beyond. You can be cozy in the cabin or go out to one of Pender’s many lovely beaches, eateries, or other unique offerings (host offers some great suggestions).
Incredible property. Very quiet. We used the outside tub as a cold plunge and it was great. Surprisingly spacious inside considering how small it looks from the outside.
We enjoyed the simplicity of the cottage and marvelled at the architectural features. I loved sitting in the beautiful Softline chair. This was our first stay on the South Island and enjoyed the unite, the pathways and the views across the sound.
We have stayed at the cabin twice and both times were magical. Waking up in the morning to the view of the ocean and trees as well as the bathtub on the deck and the wood stove were all highlights of our stay.
This suite was a beautiful place to stay and we felt at home right away. The back deck has a view of the ocean but remains private from the the road so noise is kept to a minimum. The space was well taken care of and you can tell the host, Sandra, has put a lot of thought into everything you might need during your stay. Would recommend to all my friends and family!
