About this property

Serendipity by the sea

Serendipity is located on beautiful Galiano Island...It is situated on Whaler Bay, and is nestled amongst the forest and wildlife...It is a well kept 50's pan-abode log cabin, on the water with a beautiful view...Deer, racoons, otters and eagles regularily frolick through-out the property.

Quiet, serene, and comfortable, this little beauty sleeps two in the main cabin, but also has a guest cabin which sleeps two as well.....( this is an additional 50 pr. night, but can be negotiated for long term rentals).

It is walking distance from the main ferry terminal as well as the local shops and the Madrona which is a world class spa.

Because the water is collected from rain water and has been treated, there is bottled water provided for drinking. The tap water is used for dishes and showers.
Please limit your showers to a min. in the summer as Galiano is one of the driest gulf islands and water must be brought in by truck to the its not a problem in the winter, because of the rain.

There is no garbage pickup on the island so please take your garbage back with you. There is a compost to use for food scraps to help condense the waste.

Serendipity is a wonderful quaint and peaceful cabin that I know, you will enjoy and feel relaxed by the time you check out.
There are also kayaks and paddle boards available for rent at the bottom of the property. Contact information will be left at the cabin..

Thankyou so much for considering Serendipity

Can’t wait to return!
Deborra was a great communicator and we absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was clean and well appointed with all the comforts of home. The location was amazing and we couldn’t get enough of the beautiful deck overlooking the water. We spent the most time there watching wildlife, eating meals and relaxing. We can’t wait to visit again!

Happy Hearts
First visit to Galiano…. Will not be our last!! Serendipity was pure Heaven! The mornings with coffee on the deck and late afternoon along the water was simply perfect. Such a comfortable, beautifully decorated and well stocked cabin. The location is perfect. Loved listening to the wind chimes. Thank you Deb for sharing Serendipity with us. We’ll be back.

Cozy get away
Enjoyed the darkness at night. No light pollution. Calm whaler bay and the western deck was great to sit and read with the sunshine in the afternoon. Easy access to the whole island. Wood stove was burning all the time and great heat for this time of year. Kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, spices and oils for cooking were plentiful. Great place to hang out for your island vacation. We’ll be back when we get back to Galiano.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a professional who specializes in grief and loss. I live in Vancouver but get over to Galiano to unplug as many times possible though-out the month. I am easy going, and enjoy meeting people and am pleased to be able to share this cabin so others can enjoy a little piece of heaven on earth.
I believe, we all need a special place to unwind and reconnect to ourselves which is why I bought it many years ago.

Why they chose this property

Its located close to the main ferry terminal ( Sturdies Bay) and is walking distance to the amenities ...... Situated in Whalers Bay, the cabin has a beautiful energy to it..

What makes this property unique

Sparkling, emerald green water and a beautiful deck too enjoy the wildlife and view makes the place unique and calm.......I love the serene and peaceful setting, amongst the trees and wildlife. Serendipity is so close to Cain beach, and a hop skip and jump from the shops and ferry terminal. It's an easy commute if you are travelling on foot.
