I think the cottage is the best at Currents. The location makes it so private and tranquil. The cottage was cozy and very well equipped and central to everything on Pender Island. If you want relaxation and being submersed in nature this a great spot.

We enjoyed stunning, unobstructed sunset views of Otter Bay from this comfortable and tidy rental. Much on the island was closed do to off-season, but that gave us more excuse to relax at home, watch the waves, and get out on many well-marked hiking trails that crisscross the island. We're already planning for our return trip!

Sue was a superb host. The cottage is the absolute best in the Currents community because of its location at the tip of the point with an unobstructed view, ideally designed windows to maximize the view of the Salish Sea and the evening stars, and its privacy. The housekeeping was meticulous. It was a lovely place to celebrate my husband’s birthday.
Cozy time in front of the fireplace.

Nice little cottage

We really enjoyed the cottage. The pillows were oddly lumpy though and the bed quite firm. Other than that we really enjoyed the views and the property.

Best spot on the island!

We loved staying at this comfortable, beautiful cottage. Such a beautiful location and such a quiet bay. We are grateful that we could enjoy it for a week! It is a little complicated to bring everything needed for preparing meals since we came by airplane to Vancouver, but it was worth the trip and carrying our food staples across the country!

Picture Perfect Getaway

While sitting at the dining table of our VRBO cabin on Pender Island, we could gaze out through the large picture windows at the beauty of the Salish Sea. We watched the antics of the cormorants and seagulls flying overhead and, in the far distance, we could see one of the B.C. ferries slowly sailing back and forth to Victoria or the other Gulf Islands. So beautiful. So relaxing, especially after coming back from one of the many amazing hikes on this gorgeous island.

Best unit in the development, hands down

It was perfect! Such a beautiful spot with unobstructed views of the water and Otter Bay. The cottage is well appointed, really cozy. When I get a chance to go back to Pender (which itself is amazing), I'll be trying to snag this unit again. We were there in the off season so not much was happening, but the complex has a lot to offer - games room, pools, marina (if you've got a boat). And the host, Sue, was quick to provide info and reply to messages and made sure the place was a good fit for us before accepting our reservation. I definitely recommend this one!
