About this property

Whimsical 4 bedrooms + one loft cottage on Savary Island

This is a cheerful and corky cottage on Vancouver Boulevard

Experience a unique adventure on a secluded island with sandy shores and ocean access everywhere.

This rustic cottage has a large sunny lot with plenty of room for games, BBQs, and fun.

The cottage is a striking turquoise color with a tower and a hidden loft. It has a comfortable porch, living room, well-stocked kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and a hidden loft.

The cottage sleeps 8 people comfortably.

If you are into enjoying a carefree off-grid life, going to the beaches, or relaxing on the deck with a beer or a coffee. This cottage is ideal for you, your families, or friends who want to enjoy a relaxing getaway in nature.

It is gradually ongoing modernization and improvements so it is still a bit rustic but we think it is charming and warm, we just added a larger propane hot water on demand to accommodate more people.

Toilet paper, dish/hand soap, garbage bags, and a few other basics are included with your stay. We have outdoor and indoor games for kids and beach stuff for you to use.

Here is the detailed description:

The outdoor picnic table seats 10
The outdoor BBQ area table seats 4

We have extra chairs.

Maximum 8 people because of off-grid system limitation
We will consider 2 extra people but there are extra charges

Indoor bathroom with hot shower, toilet, and sink and also an outdoor hot shower, outhouse, and sink

Must be familiar with the operation of propane and generators

* We have internet via solar power
* The cabin operates with a small generator now
* New larger hot water on demand to accommodate more than 4 people
* Propane fridges, stoves, and BBQ
* The water is really good and comes from our well, you must fill up the water blater tank daily via the operation of the large generator or more often based on water usage.

(We have removed the solar power availability as the system could not keep up with large groups we will look at upgrading in the future)


12 Bikes to use for free

Adult and kid bikes are supplied but should bring your helmet. We have a few kid's helmets but to be safe best to bring your own.

Every guest must sign the release of liability if they want to use bikes.

There are e-bike and normal bike rentals on the island if you prefer.

We have a lawn and lawn games so kids can play and some beach stuff also.

For the stay

We have mattress protectors, duvets, and pillows on the beds.

Please bring linen, and towels as there are no laundry facilities,
but we can provide bed sheets, duvet covers, and general linen like towels, dishcloths, etc...

Those have to be ordered in advance ... as everything has to be brought on the island and laundered off-island.

The linen sets come prepackaged and are there for you to use based on per bed and occupant... there is an extra charge for this, so ask if you do not want to be bothered with bringing your own.

Savary Island does not have any public services

All garbage and recycles must be taken off the island when leaving
Sorry, no fire on the island as per the fire station regulations.

Guest access

The island is accessible via water taxi and those have to be booked ahead of time.

There are no vehicles allowed for renters on the island.
The water taxi will organize a land taxi if you are not bringing your bikes.
The last water taxi is at 6 pm
Please, keep that in mind when figuring out your ferry reservations.

Once at the cottage, there are bikes to use so you can get around but the beaches are only a 5 to 10-minute walk from the cottage.

You will need to bring your helmets and sign a release of liability to use.

There is a hidden loft with a double mattress but you have to be agile to go up

Again setting expectations for our guests

Savary Island is an off-grid rustic vacation experience.

The cottage has basic amenities, and renters need to be comfortable with the use and operation of propane appliances and equipment required for an off-grid cabin.

Including the use of a generator (ie. starting, checking fuel levels, and adding fuel if required), and well pump, and changing propane tanks

Someone will be on-site to check you in and to provide a run-through of the system on check-in.

After that on-site property management is also available


* We have internet via solar

* The cabin operates with a small generator

* New larger hot water on demand to accommodate more than 4 people now

* Propane fridges, stoves, and BBQ

Cute little cottage but systems and bikes need work
Cozy and comfortable cabin with varied sleeping arrangements in a beautiful neighbourhood close to several nice beaches and the mermaid cafe. The cabin has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of extra blankets, as well as some games to play in poor weather. Design and quality of power and water systems make the current experience complicated and a lot of work. Only 3 of the advertised bikes were functional and the cabin is very far from any amenities. Be prepared with on island transport options if you plan to stay here.

Annual savary trip
It was a great stay. We had a few issues with the solar and battery but Sophie was very responsive and did her best to sort it out by supplying extra gas for the generators when it was clear the fix was bigger. Good location, quick walk to the meadows and mermaid. Lots of bikes for everyone and toys for the kids.
