Quaint, quiet and nature abundant Galiano island never fails to melt away all stress to leave only communing with nature and self. Our 3 night getaway experience was stress free start to finish thanks to the amazing, accommodating kind hosts. Carol’s easy going and quick communication was awesome. Her friendliness shines through in her texts:)
The property itself was a treat! To have a fire in the fenced yard area next to the ocean under the stars with our dog playing was just what we needed for the first night with a break in the days prior of lower mainland rain. The cozy equipped cabin suited us just fine. We felt cozy sitting warmed by the wood fire stove inside while feeling spaciousness of nature outside thanks to the many windows.
The cabin itself, driveway and yard is completely yours to use privately and is not shared. You have views of tall mature trees and water and ferries coming and going and the sound of ocean waves touching the shore.
For those who like total seclusion- You will have a neighbour with view into cabin windows when walking their private drive on the other side of the fence and the ferry is very close, so for complete visual privacy you will need to close all blinds.
Carol & Dave were super gracious and accommodating hosts when we chatted with Carol through the app. This truly created the perfect getaway experience for us!
Our dog is our family and we always feel so grateful that hosts open their doors to pets. This cabin was a great setup for an adventure with our pup with a decent sized deck leading down stairs into a large fenced in area...ocean front. This would be a great place to visit again in the warmer months!
Galiano is truly a tranquil west coast island paradise. This was not our first visit to the island but it never disappoints. We love the trails in bluff park and along the white shell and and clear water at Montague. We enjoyed get my something different every day at the bakery by the few shops near the ferry. Carol also recommends the organic grocery market that we agree is a amazing. We also ventured down Bodega beach access trail and pebble beach.
We booked direct ferries so the trip was easy and quick there and back.
We found Carol and Dave’s place offered great value for a private waterfront cabin in a magical setting offering a tranquil experience - one which we enjoyed immensely!
