About this property

Cozy cottage on a waterfront property on Galiano Island

Enjoy your stay at this comfortable and ideally located two bedroom cottage on the spectacular Georgia Strait waterfront of Galiano Island. Designed as a romantic getaway it is set in the garden of a wonderful waterfront property. Walk- on waterfront enables our guests easy access to the shore to explore miles of sandstone beach at low tide from June to September. Seastar Cottage is equipped to the highest standards. It has two Queen size bedrooms, complete bathroom, full kitchen, dishwasher, laundry, sun deck, satellite TV, WiFi. Cellular (mobile) reception is variable.. Relax with a good book or good company on the spacious sun-deck, in the shore side gazebo or in front of the wood stove at night. Spend time watching the amazing wildlife, from whales swimming by, deer strolling along to myriad species of birds (including bald eagles and humming birds). Alternatively you can paddle board, sea kayak, charter fishing boats, take advantage of many beautiful hikes or visit the many arts & craft studios around the island.
The owners, who live at the main house on the property, will be glad to give you information about Galiano Island.
The cottage is 15' away by car from the ferry terminal. The Humming Bird Pub, an organic food store and a corner store are at less than 10' away driving from the cottage. Galiano has a surprising variety of restaurants. Close to the ferry terminal you will find a great book store, a Spa, the Post Office and another grocery store/gas station .

Wonderful Island Retreat
The Seastar Cottage was a great place to spend a quiet relaxing week. The hosts were welcoming and full of island knowledge and advice. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. There are many beautiful walking trails nearby as well as places to sit near the shore - including its own gazebo right by the water's edge. A great place to stay!

Relaxing holiday
We had a lovely time on Galiano. The house was clean and comfortable. The chairs in the living room were especially relaxing. Big windows and lots of light. We loved lighting the fire, especially on the rainy days. The hosts were kind and hospitable, and we felt very welcome. The house is a short drive to the ferry and the excellent bakery and bookstore. We had a lovely relaxing holiday at the cottage and would highly recommend it to friends.

Quiet clean place near rocky shore
Place was clean, owners were friendly, respectful of our space and helpful. The unit was clean, well maintained/newer finishes. View of the ocean, a few beach accesses nearby within walking distance including in the property itself that all accessed a rocky shoreline. Short drive to all amenities on the Island.

Seaside seclusion
We found this wonderful property offered a secluded seaside setting just 10 minutes from town and amenities. Numerous, varied trails are available around the island and Seastar Cottage was a delightful abode come rain or shine! The hosts were so gracious and the place was clean, comfortable and well-equipped.

They will be here to greet you and share their local knowledge and help you make the most of your stay. They can help you with reservations for dinner and a variety of activities.

Why they chose this property

We love Galiano Island because even though it is the closest to Vancouver among the Gulf Islands, it still feels like a wild place. When we saw this property we decided to move from Vancouver to Galiano. This property has it all, the sea in front of our windows, a sunny orchard, privacy and a long flat rural road to walk up to heritage forests.We live in the main house and we have the cottage for guests and friends.
