About this house rental
See our aerial video by opening photos, and scroll to position #3.
Gowlland Point Place is an expansive, private setting that provides incomparable views and access to a spectacular marine environment. The main house sits on over 300 feet of low-bank shoreline, with a panoramic view of the San Juan Islands, Mt. Baker and ships en route between the Pacific Ocean and nearby ports. Enjoy the seaside environment and abundant wildlife from a large wrap-around deck, or directly on one of the area’s most desirable beaches. Orca, porpoise, otter, bald eagles and deer are common sights. The view is equally enjoyable during inclement weather from fireside in the sea-view living room. An available guest cottage allows up to eight people to enjoy the property. The three-plus acre property includes a historic orchard and a forested perimeter that provides a reclusive ambiance. Neighboring Brooks Point and Gowlland Point Conservancy Areas add to the property’s natural tranquility.
There is a one-week minimum rental period from mid-June through Labour Day and during the Christmas/New Year's holiday period.

Great location to watch the sun rise and whales pass by. The accommodations were cozy, and my children loved watching the deer in the yard every morning and evening.

Our stay at the cottage was perfect. The view was stunning, we had all our meals on the patio enjoying the view while eating.
We stayed for four days, we were lucky to see whales on there days.
Garden was beautiful, deers were in the garden all the time. You could watch deers out of the kitchen cleaning up the dishes. Kids had wonderful time on the beach picking up special rocks and chasing tiny crabs.
There is number of hiking trails within the walking distance, easy for kids as well.

We were two families of four, with young children. This house and it’s lovely setting were perfect for us. The house feels very homely, full of books and well stocked with linens and everything you could need in the kitchen. The setting is just lovely and we plan to return when possible.

Lovely location. Great beach trails at your front door. Master bedroom very spacious and comfortable , the other bed rooms were small and the double bed not very comfortable.
Cottage was very neat and clean and had everything we needed for our family weekend retreat.

We spent three nights on Pender Island and were surprised about this estates size. It is much bigger than can be seen on the photos. The garden is perfect for kids to play and the beach access is just perfect. Nearby are trails that lead to other beaches and were fun to explore with kids. The house is relatively old but well maintained and offered everything we needed. Also, the owner Richard was very helpful with every questions we had and was quick to answer them. All of us (7) really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come again!

I don't tend to write a lot of reviews, but our visit was outstanding. The house itself is was very comfortable and clean. The main room had bookshelves with lots of books. We prepared all our meals in the kitchen, which had a very adequate supply of pans and dishes. What was most outstanding was the view from the back porch, which looks out toward the San Juan islands. It was gorgeous. We saw harbor seal, otters, and all kinds of birds, including a bald eagle. It was a fabulous weekend, especially for my 82 year old mother who had flown from Oklahoma to make the trip with us. A great trip!

Our family spent the Thanksgiving weekend at this wonderful home. We brought three of our grandchildren and they loved the tree house and swing as well as beach walks and apple picking. The house was clean and well stocked with linens, towels and kitchen necessities. The location is amazing and we enjoyed the natural setting, seeing lots of wildlife and open ocean vistas. Our host was very responsive and helpful and we felt very much 'at home' during our stay. Thank you so much for opening your home, we appreciate being able to enjoy this magical place.

This property is located in a beautiful ocean front location with great views of Mt.Baker, passing ships and marine life. Our family was lucky enough to see a family of deer in the yard, an otter playing in the bay, sea lions, many birds and a pod of Orcas passing by!
The house was clean, cozy and inviting. The front deck is a lovely spot to sip on a drink, smell fresh ocean air and take in the views as you relax.
Communication with Richard was pleasant and easy.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for natural beauty, privacy and a peaceful retreat on south Pender island.

This is the perfect home to stay in for a family beach vacation. Send the kids down to play on the beach in the morning and call them back up for lunch from the front deck. Their days will be spent discovering crabs and creatures in the tide pools, watching otters play in the bay and making driftwood forts on the beach. This cozy and well kept home had lots of space for our extended family. We found the house clean on arrival and well stocked with everything we needed.
