About this property

Galiano Oceanfront Cottage, Book now for spring and summer!

Situated in spectacular Whaler Bay a quick 5 minute walk from the Sturdies Bay Ferry Terminal and all amenities - A calm serene bay with stunning views down the bay and beyond, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding and launching your kayaks or canoes. View our resident kingfisher perched on his pole, otters playfully frolicking stirring the glass-like water, watch for 'Sammy' the seal who comes round in the evening to check things out and watch the herons skillfully fish for their dinner. Galiano is also the perfect spot to see the many pods of whales that travel through our waters in the summer time.

We are available for rent year–round. So cozy–up to the wood burning fire and enjoy a good book in the winter or sit out on the deck with a refreshment on those hot summer days.

Recently redecorated bright open–space living & dining area with a cozy fireplace. Fully furnished 2 bedroom cottage, 1 queen and 2 double beds, and 1 full bath. Our fully supplied kitchen comes stored with dishes, cookware and appliances so you don't need to worry. The fireplace is a cozy accessory for those crisp winter days and fall evenings. The large 300 sq. ft. deck is the perfect place to relax on the deck chairs and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and views of spectacular Whaler Bay. There's also a propane barbecue so you can grill up your summer faves.

Enjoy the bounty of Provincial Parks, spectacular views, and wildlife every where you go and breathe that fresh island air. The natural beauty of Galiano Island invites relaxation, exploration and excitement.

Indulge in a bottle of wine and perhaps head down to Montague Harbour and pick up a fresh catch of local seafood the island has to offer.

Beautiful stay

What a beautiful waterfront property! I was here with 4 friends and it was the perfect little getaway. Location is ideal, we could walk to the ferry terminal and some of the wonderful shops and cafes and a bunch of trails from the house. To be able to sit by the water with a morning coffee is idyllic and the open fire is a huge bonus!

The cabin is located right on a quiet bay a mere 3 min walk from the village centre. It is perfectly located for easy access to the island's highlights. Watching local wildlife from the cabin's windows is the perfect way to while away many hours.

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage. It was clean and well stocked with all that we needed. The location was ideal; right by the ferry with easy access to shops and cafes. It was also a quick drive to various beaches, the grocery store and Saturday Market. Our young kids enjoyed wading in the bay with water shoes when the tide was high. For swimming, we drove to nearby beaches. Andrea was easy to communicate with and responded promptly to any questions we had. All in all, we had an excellent time on Galiano!

This cottage was so lovely—well equipped & so sweetly decorated. It was right on the bay where we were able to watch the seal, the osprey & eagles fish. The deer & her 2 fawn visited regularly. We had constant birdsong & calls. Hummingbirds also visited regularly. We went on daily walks/hikes. We were close to the grocery store, ice cream & Sturdie Bay Bakery (yum!). Definitely a wonderful vacation!
