My two best friends and I stayed in Christa's lovely unit after a very long separation, due to the pandemic. It was perfect for our needs and we were very comfortable there.
The house is a quick drive from Sturdies Bay and was easy to find. While the house is not beach front, there is a partial view of the sea and the public access beach is just across the road. The location is peaceful and in a beautiful forested area.
The kitchen is large and well stocked with essentials. Be prepared to bring oil/butter and other spices as only salt and pepper are provided. If you are planning to prepare most of your meals, I would suggest bringing your groceries over from the mainland. The groceries on Galiano are much more expensive and the selection is limited.
If you are on the Island in the off season or even shoulder season, be prepared for limited options for dining out, getting a coffee or arranging excursions. Many of the restaurants listed on Yelp were not open when they said they were. Several had closed for the season by the 2nd week of September. Others were closed due to staffing issues and both bakeries/coffee houses closed by 3 pm on the days they were open.
As far as the Island goes, the scenery is stunning. We visited every beach and park listed. We hiked through pristine forests, collected shells and sea glass, watched seals, eagles and herons, visited the sandstone formations and just decompressed.
If you are there on a Saturday, don't miss the Galiano Saturday Market at Lion's Park. There was a good mix of food/produce stands with artisans. We spent some serious money at the market and really enjoyed the small town feel.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay!
