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.

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.

Awesome location

Property is exactly as advertised. Lots of room and very private. Enjoyed the spectacular view and sun rises drinking coffee on the deck. A very short walk to great stairs down to the beach and lots of blackberry bushes close by. Location was central for us as we often went to Gowland Point.

Richard's place was exactly what my partner and I needed: a quiet week in a charmingly low-key Gulf Islands home. :)

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.

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.

Breathtaking Views!

This waterfront property is located in a quiet area of South Pender Island, a short drive to the stores and restaurants. The view of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom is unbelievable. We even saw whales breaching! The house is comfortable though we spent most of our time on the deck and in the front yard. There is access to a secluded, beautiful beach within a 5 minute walk. We truly enjoyed our first stay on Pender Island and highly recommend this property.
