better than pictures or expectations, gorgeous windows and view. right on beach with park close by. Excellent kitchen and amenities. Quiet, peaceful, stellar wildlife sightings, we saw orcas and humpback whales from the deck! Gratitude for sharing this sweet paradise with us

This home is situated steps from the ocean, an easy walk to beautiful trails and minutes from Poet's Cove Resort with its amenities. It is tastefully yet comfortably appointed with a wood burning fireplace, deck chairs and a large, modern kitchen. We loved it and hope to return.

The property was exactly what we were looking for; a waterfront, relaxing cottage in the paradise of the Gulf Islands. We highly recommend this property and will return ourselves when we have the opportunity.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house is comfortable, clean, and modern. We saw orcas a few times, otters, seals, deer, and eagles all from the outdoor couch and beach. A perfect place for a memory making vacation. Thank you!

Beautiful oceanfront location, cozy wood burning fireplace, all the ingredients for a perfect weekend getaway!

Within a few hours of waking from our slumber the first morning at Higgs St. house we saw three seals sunning themselves on the rocky output inside the bay, several seals, a couple of sea lions (!), several adorable sea otters, great blue herons, magestic bald eagles and beautiful Harlequin waterfowl. All within this beautiful, private and sheltered little bay, Drummond Bay. It was absolute magic and to our delight this natural habitat and wildlife within it became part of our daily viewing. We didn't see any whales....perhaps next trip! We've always known Pender Island to be magical in some way, but this stay confirmed it. We took the opportunity to explore many trails (Enchanted Forest, George Hill, Clam Bay, Oak Bluffs to name a few....) but honestly we loved our daily walks down the road to the point meandering the waterfront. On our last day we had the tremendous delight to see the most incredible jellyfish we've ever seen....we looked it up and it was most likely Phacellophora camtschatica, commonly known as a fried egg (or egg yolk) jellyfish. Absolutely spectacular! So the only thing we missed seeing were whales....no whales-maybe next trip! The cottage! Well, there isn't much to say because it is Perfect and the photos represent it well. It was super comfortable, warm (even through a power outage) and we had all that we needed to be self sufficient. (The only thing we would suggest is a recycling bin.) We were also fortunate enough that the cottage was available for us to extend our stay when a family member at home was getting sick (and we wanted to avoid our germy household!) and John was quick to respond to our inquiry. On that note, John is an amazing host, easy to communicate with, informative and quick to respond. Thank you John and Janis for sharing your beautiful little paradise. We are so very grateful and hope to return again soon.

This is a such beautiful serene property! The cottage has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the ocean and skylights, very bright and spacious, perfect for 2 couples. There were lots of thoughtful touches like boardgames, excellent binoculars and a book about local birds, and a cozy woodburning fireplace... the list goes on. We saw a group of dolphins, and a seal right from the patio. We brought our kayaks and this was the perfect place to launch them from. We would definitely stay here again.

Booked in for some R+R. Was everything I needed and more
