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!

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.

An absolutely wonderful stay yet again at this property! John is an impeccable host and so accommodating. We love this home for the wildlife and nature did not disappoint……seals, otters, porpoise, sea lions, orcas (3 different days) and lots of bird life especially the hummingbirds (I love them). We hope to return again and again!!! Thanks a bunch!

What a wonderful location to relax and watch the beautiful nature outside your door. Tasteful renovations that maximize the view of the ocean / skyline. We passed the time watching the boats and the birds go by. Excellent place to explore and recharge your batteries. Highly recommended for a coupe or a small family getaway!

Lovely
Lots of marine life! Quiet spot. Lovely cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! We live remotely rural in Alberta so the public beach access to the right of the property took some getting used to. Urban dwellers would probably not find this an issue. Definitely would return again if given the opportunity.

A piece of Heaven on Earth
We were delighted to return to this cabin, which is our favourite VRBO property. The oceanfront location, cozy accommodations, spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing always recharges our batteries and makes us feel on top of the world! John Mann is an impeccable host; cannot recommend this property highly enough!

We have wanted to stay at this cottage for a few years but we could never get the dates to work out. This year we finally were able to book a stay and it was as lovely as we expected. What a fabulous location and what a beautifully decorated and well organized home away from home. The views are spectacular and at times you feel as if you are on a boat as you look directly at the waves. We were lucky to experience a storm with waves crashing on the rocks as well as brilliant sunshine that was perfect for watching the resident sea lions relaxing on the rocks.
The fireplace was a delight and the woodshed is generously stocked.
We loved every minute and hope our calendars will connect once again someday soon!

We were on Pender for a winter getaway, so we appreciated that the cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It’s also quite beautiful with a modern but cosy feel. It was wonderful to be able to light a fire in the fireplace in the evening.We loved the views of the water. The cottage is organized to have spectacular views from the living room/dining room, kitchen and one of the bedrooms and we spent hours watching sunrises and sunsets, and watching seals, eagles and on one occasion whales with the binoculars provided. The cottage was also spacious enough to host family for informal gatherings.I highly recommend this cottage and the property owner.

Wonderful place!
This is our second time staying- we had a lovely time as we did first time around. The windows and light are wonderful! Amzing location on the beach. We love the proximity to Brooks Point regional park and just the quiet. Great place to recharge. House was super clean and well appointed. John was fantastic at replying promptly to questions.

Perfection. Couldn’t be better
What can I say? The house was spectacular, clean, well equipped and a view/location that can’t be beat. The beach is beautiful at high tide, and so interesting at low tide. Saw otters, deer, whales, eagles, herons, mink, ospreys constantly. The brooks point park next door is an excellent walk. The kayaking right off the beach was great, plus you can go to quieter water over at Bedwell harbour or port Browning Marina. peaceful and private - Don’t tell anyone, save it for me next year. 🙂�

Breathtaking
We stayed here for 3 nights with our two kids, 6 and 4yrs, and I couldn't recommend it enough. We saw seals, otters, deer and porpoises. The home had everything we could imagine and was very comfortable. It was steps from the beach, and the kids could play out there on their own while we watched from the great wall of windows. We went for walks every day along the rocky coast and the kids loved climbing along all the rocks. We will 100% be returning!

Our favorite spot!
We love this spot so much! The owners take great care to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Personally think this is the best spot in the gulf islands and we return every year- sometimes twice! Seals, beach and oceanfront, otters, bald eagles, lovely home and such accommodating owners- what more could you want? We think nothing! Hard to fit in all the good things one could tell about! :)

Top notch cabin, exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, well equipped. And the view is of course outstanding. There’s also a good sized garden area to run around in.
The beach is on your doorstep and really is fantastic for kids and adults alike; the rock pools have more diverse sea life than any other cabin we’ve stayed at. The beach also extends to the east a long way, providing for some good walks and scrambles on the rocks.
We've stayed at many gulf island/Sunshine Coast cabins over the years, but were particularly happy here.

A beautiful well equipped home at a great location. The weather was in our favour and it was warm and sunny for the duration of our stay. I imagine it would be no less spectacular in any weather though as the ocean and wildlife provide continuous entertainment.

Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful setting, lovely cottage, great views, lots of wildlife both on the water and on land. Couldn't be better! Those front windows on the water are outstanding and we could barely take our eyes off the ever changing water views. This is our second time at this cottage and we had a great time.

An absolute jewel of the gulf islands!
A world of peace, tranquility, amazing wildlife experiences, best hikes- everything you could want! and all while staying in a lovely comfortable modern home watching the ocean and it's daily surprises. We've been entertained by seals, eagles, otters, deer etc. Owners are a delight to deal with. Only problems were that the time went by too quickly and how hard it was to leave!

We thoroughly enjoyed our short time at this beautiful cottage right by the water. It was so relaxing and so peaceful. It was extremely well equipped and had everything anyone could possibly want. The cleaning lady and John were most helpful when we arrived as well. Enjoyed just relaxing, catching up with our reading, drinking wine and watching the wild life. We enjoyed walking on the beach also and looking for treasures, but best of all were the stunning views and watching all the various ships, sailing boats, etc. passing by. We were so sorry to leave and hope to return again sometime

Our first time to Pender Island and be not mistaken, we shall return to this piece of heaven on earth.
Tranquil Bliss!! is the best way to describe this property....peaceful, quiet and calming.
The cottage offers all the amenities of a home away from home, the amazing views from the kitchen and living room will be forever remembered. Enjoy easy access to the water right from the rear yard where we enjoyed a morning walk around the bay.
We spent a lot of time lounging on the deck, enjoyed whale watching, saw a few sea otters and Eagles, did a lot of reading and drank few glasses of wine!! Poet's Cove is only 5 mins away and offers a great restaurant.
Can't wait to return in the winter months to hear the wood crackling in the fireplace!!
