Our stay was quiet and peaceful. We had sunny weather, but even on a cold or rainy day, this is the perfect place to curl up and enjoy the ocean panorama from the window. Loved it!

We wished we could have stayed longer at The Beach House. This is an amazing cottage high above the water, yet our adult daughters couldn't resist leaving the spacious deck and climbing down the stairs and rocks to discover the amazing beach left by the outgoing tide. With geese and shorebirds in the water, and other birds in the trees, we never knew where to look next. The compact cottage had everything we needed, but it was outside where we spent most of our time.

Quiet neighbourhood, looking out onto Gillies Bay as the waves roll in and out. Peace, tranquility and a well stocked cabin with lots of wonderful coffee, spices, TP, kleenex, shampoo and conditioner. No skimping. Just relaxing.We've been to places where you had to go shopping on day 3 for basics. Not here. Perfect. Would highly recommend. And the community is out of this world friendly. Everyone driving past you waves to you. All the people we met made us feel safe and welcome. What a lovely island culture!

Gem of a place on a gem of an Island

Solid place over looking the ocean and you get everything. Forest, water, even animals with deer greeting us in the morning.Place is fully equipped if you want to cook a dinner or just chill on a patio. Rooms are spacious and clean. Check in was such a breeze.

Celebrating our 48th anniversary

A peaceful & quiet getaway. What the beach house lacks for in size, is more than made up for by it's beach front location with stunning views. Our 2 evenings were enjoyed on the deck, For us, the combo of watching whales, our bbq dinner, wine & sunshine was perfect.

In love with the view

We cannot say enough good things about this location. The views from Nicole’s cabin are spectacular night and day. Great to use as a family base while exploring the island. Nicole is easy to get in touch with and was in communication with us as we needed during our stay. We look forward to visiting again.

The Beach House - August 10-17

The Beach House was the perfect place for us to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The island was quiet, the house was perfect. Spent most of our days sitting on the deck enjoying the wildlife that appeared - blue herons, Canada geese, loons, deer, eagles. I was able to crochet and relax my brain! Thank you for a fantastic week!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family with kids who fell in love with Texada on a short visit.

We love ocean views and this cozy log cabin was the perfect fit! We love that this island has a real sense of community, but also is a perfect getaway from the city and a place for memories to be made. A place for recharging one's senses and where people are real and super friendly! We hope to share this island experience with you.

Why they chose this property



Here's our Video!
https://youtu.be/vFP_vXgjPBw

Unbeatable views on Texada from this cabin.
Best location on the island - Gillies Bay!
Convenient to everything there is!
Waterfront! With miles and miles of beach during low tide in the summer.
Great for stormwatching in the fall and winter (lower rates and min nights)
Create memories here! Relax and unwind!

What makes this property unique

Waterfront. Your almost private beach in front. Best on the island, we dare say! Doesnt get better than this! The view is simply stunning.

We have a bbq so you can grill all year.
We are super close to the Grocery Store!
Fluffy white towels.

Unlike a lot of vacation rentals on the island where owners live in it and rent out a portion of their house for income, walls are thin! Well, we dont live on premise, so you have total privacy!

We have a Keurig K-Café Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker, with Milk Frother and a regular coffee maker. Bring your kcups and milk but regular coffee is provided!
