Short winter break

We had a very comfortable and wam stay in this beautiful,quiet location. The cabin is situated on the water with otters, seal, eagles,and kingfishers to watch even at this time of year. Although the weather was mostly chilly and wet we had sunny breaks that provided us times to walk and enjoy the rural area that provides many receational opportunities. Cordelia and John are wonderful hosts and very freindly and helpful. Thank you!

Tranquil and comfortable location

We were lucky to be accepted here. Their waiting list can go up to two years. And with good reason. The cabin is located at the end of a road, on a little peninsula, overlooking the Saanich Inlet. It accommodates two people and we were extremely comfortable. Our hosts, Cordelia and John were very attentive and made sure we knew what to do in the surrounding areas. The kitchen is well appointed with lots of the little things we often forget to bring along. Same thing for the bathroom which has the best soaker tub and a wonderful rain shower. It's a great experience for those looking for a quiet time away from busyness but close enough to some wonderful shopping and restaurants. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Cordelia Mcintosh

Coal Point consists of a private peninsula, connected by a footbridge to a small island named after our eldest son. It has been a home-away-from-home for many international visitors over the years. I am trilingual (English, German and some French). I love sharing the natural beauty of this area with my guests, and all it has to offer. Our family is committed to preserving the natural beauty of this unique property for the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage has been in the family for 3 generations. Visitors always remark on how special this property is. It has inspired both artists and writers. It is truly a refuge in every sense. We feel privileged to observe wildlife in its natural setting from our home on a daily basis. Seasonal changes attract different wildlife, and offer exceptional and varied viewing experiences year-round.

What makes this property unique

360 degree views. Steps from the beach. Exclusive access to private island. Hot tub overlooks the sights and sounds of beautiful Saanich Inlet. Listen to the seagulls call, the sea lions bark, the waves rolling into shore. Relax in the hammock, under our grove of Oak trees, watch the nesting bald eagles fish for dinner. Storm watch during winter months. Snorkel/dive and enjoy abundant sea creatures. Spring herring run makes the ocean come alive with wildlife. Amazing sunsets. Tidal pools. Summer bioluminescence! A 'foodies' delight!...Enjoy visits to a local organic farm stand, winery or fresh fish market in Sidney. Close to amenities, ferry, airport. Near Lochside Trail and Galloping Goose cycle paths.
