About this property

Beautiful Waterfront Home in the Gulf Islands, Saturna Island

Saturna Seaside is a beautiful, spacious (3400 available sq ft) oceanfront home in the Canadian Gulf Islands on Saturna Island.

Some of this home's most compelling features are the breathtaking views of Winter Cove, Samuel Island, Boat Pass, Anniversary Island and the lights of Grouse Mountain at night.

While cooking dinner, or relaxing in the living room or on the deck of Saturna Seaside, one can view the spectacular sunset, watch the boats negotiate the challenging waters of Boat Pass, or watch your guests play in the water below. Saturna Seaside offers seclusion from bustle and crowds. It is ideal for adults or families seeking a relaxing and recreational retreat from hectic lives.

Our private walk-on beach access makes water play and kayak launching a dream. The two lawn areas, one ocean side and one forest side, are great for volleyball, badminton, croquet or simply lounging.

The rooms at Saturna Seaside are spacious and comfortable. Saturna Island itself offers pristine forest, mountain, coastal and marine environments that one can explore on bike, on foot or by boat. We've spotted eagles, herons, otters, deer and seals near our home and whales within a 15 minute drive.
Please note: Since it is almost impossible to complete all transactions (rental agreement written, received, reviewed, signed and received back), all within the 24 hour after a booking request or BOOK-IT is made with HOMEAWAY or VRBO, booking requests for dates starting less than 72 hours from booking request will probably be denied. Please see our SaturnaSeaside.... web site.

As far as "tips" about the island: Saturna is a beautiful island with more than 50% park. Lots of nature: birds, whales, otters, eagles, goats, seals, flowers, dears, .....not much shopping.
But there is a cafe, a pub, bike rental, kayak/paddle board rental, guided boat excursions, hiking trails and beaches.
Kayaking is easy from our home. You can walk down our walkway, then down rock stairs to the water.

As for “things to do” please check my web site, and Saturna Island tourism. There is no movie theater or shopping mall on Saturna. Mostly parks, hiking, biking, birding, whale watching etc.
Also, please note our house is not baby proof.

WI-FI and Internet info:
We do NOT have WiFi at our home. However, this is how we deal with the need to connect: There is cell coverage at our home, so we access the internet with cell data, ie email texting etc. Cell phones, iPads, etc come in very handy. Sometimes you can set up your own “hot-spot” tether devices etc. etc. If you need to have WiFi say for work, FaceTime, Skype etc., there is WiFi at the following locations: Saturna Cafe/General Store both inside and outside on deck, LightHouse Pub, Saturna Recreation Center parking lot, Point Store and Ferry Terminal Waiting Room (sometimes). If you are having trouble, just ask around, someone will help you. Doing work in the Pub, Cafe, etc is Perfectly Acceptable. Everyone does it this way. But as you know public WiFi is not secure.

Amazing Spot
Two families (from Washington State and the UK) vacationed together. The property was on a beautiful spot and the house was large and comfortable and easily accommodated both families. We really enjoyed the Kayak's and walking to Winter's Cover Park. It was easy to access and explore the rest of the island from this spot.

Amazing location and comfortable accommodations
The southern Gulf islands are amazing. Saturna is a nice blend/balance between natural and undeveloped but with solid grocery availability and a couple of good restaurants The home was beautifully positioned on a protected bay with great water views. Beds and features in the house are all quality and in keeping with all descriptions and photos. The booking, check in and availability to answer questions during our stay… all top notch If you want to stay in an awesome location in the islands and specifically for natural beauty on Saturna… in solid comfort and with no surprises we can’t give a place higher marks.

Fantastic Place!
We really enjoyed staying here - access to the water with our kayaks was easy and we had a wonderful time exploring the waters around the island - kayaking beyond the cove is best suited for experienced paddlers only as there are several places with strong currents - but for experienced paddlers it is a wonderful playground! This property had the best equipped kitchen I've ever found in a rental property - absolutely wonderful! Sharp knives, two sets of dishes and cutlery, etc.

Host profile image
Maureen and Steve love this island and would like to share its beauty with others. Saturna is a paradise we feel compelled to share with others. We have so enjoyed our time here with family and friends, and try to make our place special for others too.

Why they chose this property

Steve grew up in the Lower Mainland. While visiting family we often vacationed in BC. We toured and vacationed over the years in many of the Gulf Islands before we found this house, this setting, this island. We love our home!
