This home is exactly what it claims to be - a fireside cottage on the very picturesque Galiano Island. Only a few steps from the beach, and minutes from trails, the home was in an ideal location.

Never have I been to a home that is so "fully loaded" as this one. We did not have to worry about things like olive oil, salt and pepper, or extra linens, as the house was stocked when we arrived!

Be aware of the well-water and be sure to bring bottled water, as the sulphur taste was quite potent when we were visiting. This is NOT a deterrent, however, as the home really is perfect.

Joanne was such an easy host to communicate with. She answered texts almost immediately and was available to answer questions. Because we had a late ferry home, she extended our "check out" time and we were about to enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon at the house - what a bonus!

This home is definitely one we will return to... I highly recommend booking with Joanne.
