Great place overlooking the water! It was a lovely house in a quiet setting. We could have sat on the deck all day but we did get out to explore the cute coffee shops and go for walks in the parks!
4.9
This was a wonderful spot with all the amenities. The view from the deck is spectacular, and the property had no neighbours. We drove to get to places to kayak and bike. For spectacular hiking, we walked out the back door and hiked up Mount Norman. There is construction which closes the road to south Pender (beyond our driveway) from 10 am to 2pm. As it turned out, this was not really a big deal at all. This did not impede our ability to go to North Pender, and we did go to the end of South Pender once to see Brooks Point. The host is easily available and very responsive. We would love to return to this place!

Such a beautiful house, wood beams and floors. 3 bedrooms. Very well stocked kitchen, hot tub was hot. Wood stove well stocked with dry wood. Lots of hooks everywhere for coats, clothes, towels and more. East communication with owner.
A very comfortable and enjoyable home!!!

This was the second visit we've made to this wonderful property.
Messages to Mike always are answered promptly. When he was leaving for an international trip, he sent us contact information for a neighbor.
This year the installation of the backup generator was complete. There was a day with high winds during our visit. The power stayed on, but Mike sent simple instructions in advance of the storm about the generator's operation.
The kitchen is well stocked. As tea and pour-over coffee fans, we were happy to see the electric kettle and Melitta drip-cone and filters.
The wood stove kept us warm at night. Plenty of split wood is available.
The Internet speed will not support streaming, but our HDMI to USB-C adapter allowed us to watch content we had downloaded on an iPad. Cable TV and a large selection of CDs are available.
The large windows along the great room frame a good view of Plumper Sound. There is a long covered deck with seating. Binoculars are provided, along with games, puzzles, books, and pamphlets about the island.
One of the trailheads to climb Pender's highest point, Mt. Norman, is literally next door to the property. We also enjoyed hiking the Enchanted Forest Park trail and the Brooks and Gowlland Points area while picking wild blackberries along the boardwalk.
The house needed a bit more dusting and the refrigerator required a wipe down.
You will enjoy a stay at this house in South Pender Island!

Loved staying here. Great views of the ocean, quiet, close adjacent to Mt Norman trail, and really interesting house design. Also enjoyed each evening in the hot tub! Host was super responsive and friendly. Thanks Mike!

We had a very enjoyable time staying at this beautiful home. The views are spectator, The house is well appointed and had everything we needed. The island provided us with great hiking, kayaking, views of wild life off the front deck, and lovely weather.

This was by far one of the most well stocked rentals I have ever stayed at. Mike was awesome… there was an issue worth the hot tub and he sorted it out within a day. Great place to stay… I highly recommend it!

Multi generational family getaway on a perfect weekend. The house had everything we needed and was an easy drive to all our favourite places on the island. The hot tub was a nice addition to other places we’ve stayed.

Great view, very well equipped and furnished tastefully. The architecture is superb and the loft is a great addition. Nothing has been forgotten for the guests' comfort.

We are a family of 6 with kids between the ages of 4-12. There was something for everyone! We enjoyed slow mornings with hot coffee and a warm fire while the kids played in the yard and enjoyed the well-stocked games cupboard.
The property is private and quiet with beautiful views. We enjoyed many hikes and beach visits all around the island. We are from the snowy north and this was a beautiful spring reprieve! Although not ocean front, it was a bit of a benefit as we didn't have to worry about young kids around the water and we found it was much cooler temps along the beaches. Perched up a little higher, the yard was calm, not windy and warm!
The home is very tidy and clean and has every item you could wish for. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus and we often started and ended the day with a soak. If we find ourselves on Pender Island again, we will certainly hope to stay at Mike's property!

Was a great, relaxing trip. House was a perfect fit for us.

Had a lovely time at this house with my partner and another couple. Well equiped kitchen allowed us to cook great meals. Wood fire stove and hot tub were well used and much enjoyed. Plus, the Pender Islands were beautiful and fun to explore for a few days.

Lovely home with a spectacular ocean view tucked away in the trees.
So quiet, so private, comfortable and well stocked with basics. Loved the wood stove and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof.

A great place for family time together. Cooking together. Hanging out together. Everyone enjoyed time with spouses in the hot tub.

This is a beautiful, spacious vacation rental with a lovely view of the Plumper Strait between South Pender Island and Saturna Island. Snow-capped mountains on the B.C. mainland also are visible on clear days. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the basement, a hot tub, and an outside grill.
A covered deck extends the length of the side of the house facing the sea, with double French doors providing access from both the living room and one of the bedrooms. Comfortable chairs make this an inviting spot.
The owner has thoughtfully provided two pairs of binoculars and a local bird guide as well as a number of books for both children and adults. A number of games are in the drawer under the books. A television with cable access, a DVD player, and a stereo system are in the living area. The WiFi speed (about 5 Mbps during our visit) is too slow to support streaming content, but a selection of DVDs is piled in a basket next to the entertainment center.
The wood stove is very effective on cool evenings, with an excellent draft to prevent any smoke from entering the living room. Wood is provided.
The entrance to the property is immediately before the entrance for the Mount Norman trailhead in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The property itself is set back from Canal Road and is very private — two neighboring properties are up the drive but out of view.
Mike was very responsive to emailed questions and called me to help resolve a tech issue we had when trying to watch a DVD.
We would caution visitors to pay extra attention when negotiating the steps outside the front door. The top step is much narrower than the broad second step and it is easy to misjudge that.

This property is a 5 star all the way. We were a family of 5 adults, in which there was plenty of room. This place is stocked with everything you can think of and more. We enjoyed playing games that were there. Plenty of towels so you could have a separate towel for the hot tub, which we used every evening- such a nice treat. The view outside the wrap around deck was stunning and a great place for a morning coffee or an afternoon beverage. Communication with Mike was prompt and all instructions were thorough making the booking easy. Everything about this place was amazing and would highly recommend and if back on Pender Island wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again

Two couples stayed for the week and didn’t want to leave. The host was terrific, responsive and easy to work with. The home is clean, nicely appointed and perfect for being indoors and outside.
The view is sweet and the hot tub was a bonus. We hope to return soon

A perfect week!
Awesome getaway for a half dozen family members from across Canada! Property offered special views of wildlife and ocean from a bright, spacious and remote house. Daily hikes up Mount Norman just steps from the door. Barbecue, viewing deck and lack of insects added to a perfect week.

A group of friends and I had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous gem on South Pender. The host was responsive and helpful prior to check in and once there we were left to ourselves to enjoy our stay. The cabin is clean, tidy, well decorated. It has all the amenities we needed to relax and be care free including a well stocked kitchen which made for some amazing meals. The hot tub with views of the ocean and coast mountains in the distance was perfect. The regional park with hiking trails next door and beach a few minutes away by car were also incredible to explore. We will definitely be returning in the future!

Peaceful Property with a Fabulous View!
Our family had a lovely stay in mid-April over the Easter long weekend. The home was so wonderfully private, and was well-equipped with everything you could need for a great getaway. We loved the stunning view, and enjoyed having the hiking trail up Mount Norman at our doorstep! Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars after a day of hiking and exploring the islands was a definite treat. So thankful that we had the opportunity to visit Pender Island, such a beautiful place!

We stayed at this lovely home for a few days in April and had some sunshine, some rain and even a bit of snow. The views from this place are spectacular, whatever the weather. The wood stove and hot tub make it easy to enjoy this home even if the sun isn't shining. Very private home surrounded by forest and easy access to hiking trails. The home had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen.

The space is incredibly private, beautiful and peaceful. There are amazing trails right beside the house, and the grocery store is a 10 minite drive away. The view was our favorite part, but the home itself is perfectly set up for a small group or family. Every thoughtful touch, like hot tub towels, a tv in the master, extra blankets, adirondack chairs on the covered deck, games, all the appliances and kitchen gadgets etc made it so easy to cook and relax. The host was helpful, kind and accomodating, he helped us get a lost cat back to its rightful owner and when we had some trouble with the washer and dryer and he was understanding, which made our departure much less stressful! We love to visit the gulf islands as often as possible and this place is one of the best we've been lucky to stay at, cannot reccomend it enough!
