About this property

Luxurious Waterfront Retreat with Private Beach


Escape the city and unwind in this tastefully renovated cottage – perfect for a family or a romantic getaway!! Nestled in Fulford Harbour, you approach the sunny 2.5 acre property from a circular driveway. The cottage is beautifully situated to enjoy stunning ocean views of Russell Island and Mt Baker. Two sets of French doors lead out to a deck that will leave you breathless with the spectacular views.

A designer-inspired kitchen with a gourmet Heartland stove has everything you need to prepare summer meals and enjoy them on the flagstone patio. The kitchen is very well equipped even for a discerning chef. And for those on clean up duty, a brand new Miele dishwasher and large farmhouse sink make the job easy!

An expansive living room with a vaulted ceiling is furnished with pine Canadiana pieces for your comfort. Books, board games and videos are available to help you unwind and relax or share some laughs. The warmth of the wood burning fireplace will keep you cozy on those cooler days.

A peaceful sleep awaits you in one of 3 bedrooms: one with a queen bed overlooking the ocean, a second queen bed with views to the forest. A secret loft is also available for additional sleeping and has a queen size bed from which you can enjoy the stars and moon through the skylight. (It is accessed with an oak library-style ladder so not for everyone) Two newly renovated bathrooms also await you– one powder room and a second with a walk-in rain shower.

Spend your days soaking in the sights and sounds on this quiet part of the island. Meandering through the forest trails on the property. Whether enjoying your morning coffee on the deck or happy hour on the patio, you are sure to love the outdoor living that awaits you!

There are several ‘extras’ at this family friendly cottage. The lower level has a Foosball and Ping Pong table. The kids nook has several toys for various ages as well as a super cool Harry Potter sleeping hollow. For the youngest guests, we have a playpen, baby monitor and highchair (booster seat type) available for your enjoyment.

We truly enjoy sharing our piece of paradise. In the spirit of giving back, we donate a percentage of the revenues to our favourite charities: Mosaic, BC Women's Hospital Foundation and Upendo - a Tanzanian orphanage

NOTE: A secondary cabin is on the property and used by the owner only. It is fully self contained and has its own patio space, etc. If you have questions, please ask. .

This is the second time we've stayed at Juniper Cottage and we enjoyed the ocean views and quiet coziness just as much as the first time. We hope to come back again.

Beautiful cottage on Saltspring Island

The cottage was perfect for our stay. It felt like our childhood cottage with whimsical decorations and lots of wooden vintage accents. The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning in the morning with the sunrise. The bedrooms were comfortable and all appliances worked perfectly.

Things were fine. Place was very well looked after and lots of amenities. Though we did not take advantage of the cooking facilities, Place was large and 2 or 3 more people would definitely work.I paid a fair bit for the accommodation and really did not get all the benefits of the place considering the time of year and we went out for meals. But a lovely place.

Beautiful house with ocean views

My family and I travel to Salt Spring Island almost every year. We try different locations and accommodations all over the island. We all agree that this is our favourite to date. The house itself is beautiful with amazing attention to detail, but combine it with the location on a quiet street with lush forest and a gorgeous ocean view and it's breathtaking. We're already making plans to stay here again next year. Highly recommend!

Enjoy the ocean views from the deck!

Very pretty and quiet location with spectacular views out on the ocean! The kitchen has everything you need and brings the family together. The two bedrooms are small-ish with queen-sized beds, and the loft bed is up a ladder and for “very mobile” folks only. Everything is well organized and easy to find. Lovely hosts, too!

4 sisters meeting from 3 provinces were awed by the setting of Juniper. We never tired of going out on the deck to eat, read and mostly soak in the amazing view! It is pure BC with mountains, ocean and ferries near and far in view.

Lovely spacious cottage in a beautiful location. Everything we could possibly need (and more!) was provided, with comprehensive instructions. It was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the log burner and games on that first chilly evening.

Beautiful home overlooking the bay.

Clean and very pleasant. The firewood was all prepared. It rained a lot (November), but we were able to make the house cozy and enjoy our time. Kitchen utensils were available, and everything was ready to move in and relax.

About the host

Hosted by John

Host profile image
We are a family of four who fell in love with Salt Spring Island. We bought the cottage with an eye to the future as our children are young and getting away from city life was important to us.

Why Salt Spring? It has a very strong sense of community and a robust set of events, shows and cultural activities. Additionally, having an island hospital was very important to our situation. Finally, if we choose to enjoy a fabulous meal there are wonderful restaurants on the island.

And the real reason...we are able to create great memories by having a second family join us. The kids love exploring the outdoors while the parents savour an adult 'playdate' over a bottle of wine?!?! Who says you have to wait until retirement!
