About this property

Cozy & Peaceful Island Retreat

2 bedroom 1 bathroom upstairs suite set on a treed lot on Pender Island. This rental is a simple and quaint upper level suite of a two level house and is available for 30 night minimum stays. The owner and caretaker lives below. There are separate driveways and parking areas.

The rental is suitable for people looking for an affordable and quiet month or two away from the city, seasonal workers, locals who are in between housing, or have family visiting for an extended period. It is not a fancy vacation rental, but it is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need for daily living.

The VRBO suite requires no stairs and is accessible via a paved path from the gravel driveway. There is parking space for two vehicles. No pets and no smoking inside or outside.

The suite features hardwood floors, an open concept kitchen, dining and living room, and a wood burning fireplace. It also has an energy efficient electric heat pump which can also act as an airconditioner on warmer days. Hydro and wifi are included in the monthly rent, but firewood is not.

The house is south-facing and enjoys sun streaming in the windows all day. There is a large deck and glass sliding doors that allow easy access to enjoy the deck and patio furniture.

There are many beaches and hiking trails near to the house and you can enjoy them year round with our mild climate. Pender Island also boasts a world famous disc golf course as well as a traditional nine hole golf course. Both of which are open year round.

Pender Island Stay

Our stay was very enjoyable and the rental was very quiet. The wood stove quickly made the cool mornings very comfortable. The kitchen had everything one needed and the beds were very comfortable. The large, closed-in deck would make it an excellent location for parents with young children. Hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. A very pleasant stay.

Pender getaway

It's a lovely quiet cottage in a wooded area; has a cozy wood stove and Ecofan - enjoyable if you need some heating. And it also has air conditioning, when the sun gets a little too hot. Cool! The neighbourhood is great for walking around and catching glimpses of the waterways.

Great short-term accommodation

The house provided everything I needed for a 2-month stay. Both Nadia and Rik were very responsive to communications/needs and Rik was a gracious host. The kitchen provides an assortment of cookware, blender, coffee maker, etc. Salt/pepper are provided. If you like to cook with spices and other condiments, you'll have to bring your own. It is a short drive (or longer walk/run through the neighborhood and woodland trails) to the Driftwood Centre for groceries, gas, hardware, books, a pharmacy, restaurants, shops, and businesses. Additional establishments close by offer dining and spirits. There are also a number of trails nearby to explore the neighborhood, shoreline, forests, and small parks (including a folf course a short walk away). I highly recommend the house to anyone needing short-term accommodations.
