It's a cosy waterfront house. Our stay was very comfortable. Kids had fun playing in the backyard and boating on the water inlet. The property is well maintained and clean. Our host, Andrea, was very responsive to resolve all our issues. The only discomfort we faced was that we had to carry our garbage with us. We were not prepared for that. But overall we had a good time.

Great vacation on galiano

The house was lovely and in a convenient location. The bay is a bit murky for swimming but great for paddling and there are lots of nice swimming beaches a close drive away.

If you want to enjoy a nice big, well-equipped, old-timey Island summer cottage, and don't mind road noise, this place would be perfect. It has a lovely view with the eponymous Kingfishers as well as Herons, Eagles, Hummingbirds, numerous songbirds and an Otter family to delight you. Deer browse in the back yard and it is well-stocked with firewood for the big, efficient, easy to use fireplace. I would have given it 5 stars if it had been farther away from a busy road.

The cabin is located right on a quiet bay a mere 3 min walk from the village centre. It is perfectly located for easy access to the island's highlights. Watching local wildlife from the cabin's windows is the perfect way to while away many hours.

We loved our stay on Galiano at this homey cabin. It had everything we needed and was in the best location within walking distance of the book store, bakery and shops. Would highly recommend it and definitely plan to return!
