Kayak launching is easy and the area is flat which makes it good for bike riding.

We’ve been coming to Richard’s cabin for several years. It has everything we need including an amazing view and quick beach access - which our boys love. Richard is also super easy to connect with regarding any questions.

What a gift to stay at this wonderful cozy home with stunning views of the ocean and Mt Baker, quiet peaceful neighbourhood, and on beautiful Pender. Richard is so welcoming and responsive and we felt right at home. Deer, kingfishers, river otters, ravens and more on our doorstep and refreshing swims in the ocean from the public beach just down the way. We also lucked out to join in the Fall Fair with its parade, music, vegetable art and more submissions, and lovely atmosphere.This was exactly the restful holiday we hoped for and we've already booked for longer next year! Highly recommend.

Older building, might could use some exterior paint. When we arrived the house had a potent musty odor which went away after 2-3 days of having the windows open. I’m guessing it might not have been occupied for a while before our arrival. Not upscale, but adequately equipped. The location and view are fabulous.

Serenity and beauty

We enjoyed every moment of our two weeks at Richard’s property. The views of the ocean and Mt. Baker are breathtaking and the only sounds are the birds and the ocean. It is so peaceful. And the house has a great porch with many places to sit and eat or read, the bed is so comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. We loved our beach walks with our dog, the Saturday market, the local bakery.And Richard was wonderful to communicate with. We hope to come back next year.

Great location, view and essentials!

Enjoyed our second stay at Richard’s cabin. The view from the cabin is lovely and the location is central for exploring beautiful Pender Island. We also really appreciated having a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals at home. Richard was a good host and checked in with us during the stay. Would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Pender Island.

Wonderful Spot!

We loved staying here on South Pender. The sunrise view was spectacular! We saw otters, seals and deer from the front deck. The house was as described in the listing, we found it to be very clean and comfortable. Would love to come again! The beach access point around the corner is a new favourite spot on South Pender. Thank you!

Uninterrupted peace and quiet

A beautiful spot overlooking the ocean. Only rarely did the sounds of civilization intrude. The place was clean and orderly when we arrived. Everything we needed was there and everything was in good working order. Very comfortable and plenty of room. This was our second visit to this house and this trip was just as good as the first time.

Rest and relaxation on Pender island

We had a lovely week long stay at this property! The views were spectacular. The various seating areas, with Adirondack chairs near the edge of the property overlooking the ocean and tables and chairs on the deck allowed for everyone to have as much space as they wanted. The house is spacious, with a lovely kitchen and plenty of cooking utensils. We cooked the entire time we were there. Blackberry bushes at the edge of the property and on the road provided luscious berries for a pie. It's a calm and peaceful property. We took advantage of the Enchanted Forest walks on the South Island. Communication with Richard was easy and greatly appreciated.

Why they chose this property

What is special about this property is that it is very private, on the ocean and has a gorgeous view of Mount Baker.
