This was our fourth stay at Mike's vacation house, which is quiet and relaxing -- and well equipped for those of us who enjoy cooking. An added bonus the past two years has been watching the tireless bumblebees gathering pollen and nectar from the bed of lavender outside the kitchen window. This year we focused on the Saturday farmer's market and farm stands. MIke has a basket of information about Pender Island next to the dining table. This year we found a map of Pender's farm stands inside it. we visited near the beginning of July, and most had few offerings yet. Our two favorites are an old hand-painted Kelvinator located where Canal Road turns right onto Spaulding. This stand often sells pea shoots that are delicious in salads and sandwiches. Our last visit offered a choice of large yellow pattypan squashes for 1 CAD each. Another very notable refrigerator stand is the Fridge of Wonders in Magic Lake. It's worth the drive if you enjoy spicy sauces, seasonings, and superkraut (sauerkraut)! MIke's place and Pender Island are great places to relax!

Perfect stay for our group of five adults.Well-equipped house, outstanding view across the water. Other amenities too - hot tub, baroque. Good location as a base camp for kayaking and hiking the Mt Norman trail. Two lovely bedrooms and a spacious open loft area. Outstanding place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay - coffee on the deck in the mornings, a great hike right outside the door (Mt Norman) and easy to get to kayaking and other parts of the island. We hope to come back again.

This is a beautiful, spacious vacation rental with a lovely view of the Plumper Strait between South Pender Island and Saturna Island. Snow-capped mountains on the B.C. mainland also are visible on clear days. It has a well-equipped kitchen. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the basement, a hot tub, and an outside grill.
A covered deck extends the length of the side of the house facing the sea, with double French doors providing access from both the living room and one of the bedrooms. Comfortable chairs make this an inviting spot.
The owner has thoughtfully provided two pairs of binoculars and a local bird guide as well as a number of books for both children and adults. A number of games are in the drawer under the books. A television with cable access, a DVD player, and a stereo system are in the living area. The WiFi speed (about 5 Mbps during our visit) is too slow to support streaming content, but a selection of DVDs is piled in a basket next to the entertainment center.
The wood stove is very effective on cool evenings, with an excellent draft to prevent any smoke from entering the living room. Wood is provided.
The entrance to the property is immediately before the entrance for the Mount Norman trailhead in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The property itself is set back from Canal Road and is very private — two neighboring properties are up the drive but out of view.
Mike was very responsive to emailed questions and called me to help resolve a tech issue we had when trying to watch a DVD.
We would caution visitors to pay extra attention when negotiating the steps outside the front door. The top step is much narrower than the broad second step and it is easy to misjudge that.
