We enjoyed our stay on Pender Island, exploring the many well marked small beach access points around the island. Brigitte supplied us faithfully with firewood for the wood stove which contributed greatly to the evening ambiance. The bed and linens were absolutely beautiful and comfy. The kitchen was very adequate and we purchased good quality produce and other items at Tru Value Foods at Driftwood Centre. Windows at the cottage were large and south facing but we still found it a bit dark and the bit of blue we saw through the trees wasn't really different from our own home in the boreal forest. So if you're looking for forest and shade this is a good thing! We were looking for light and ocean and eagles ..... What was once a very beautiful pair of sofas and area rug were not very clean (sadly, likely from guests not taking care) Other than spring cleaning needed on the windows (oh, my that must be a daunting task- they are so lovely and high!) everything else was very nice and very clean. Brigitte was pleasant and prompt at answering texts.
