Enjoy this gorgeous cottage in island paradise with stunning ocean views

Just a 20-minute drive from Nelson, this cozy getaway accommodates up to 4 guests, making it ideal for friends or families who want to experience island life with all the comforts of a nearby city . Simply drive on our coastal road to enter and exit the island! No need to take a boat or ferry to get on Pepin Island.
You'll have the entire cottage to yourself : 2 stunning bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, kitchen, dining table, living room, indoor fireplace, outdoor deck, BBQ, outdoor hot water bathtub, and incredible ocean views. There is a lockbox and key for you so you can arrive at your convenience!
