Bella Haven on Saturna.... Oceanfront Beach House.... Perfect Getaway for Two.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. It's almost time to turn on the fireplace and curl up with a book and some cocoa. The Autumn colours are beautiful on Saturna and the trails are still in good condition throughout the Fall and Winter....

Bella Haven ("beautiful refuge") is a favourite getaway for many Saturna visitors.
A bright and airy beach house set on a picturesque half-acre, adjacent to our home.
Overlooking Lyall Harbour, you will have front row seats to spectacular summer sunsets and the ever-changing vista year-round.

stunning location, roomy fully equipped cottage
First time to Saturna Island and it did not disappoint. This home was the ideal choice for us as a base to explore this unique gem of the Gulf Islands. The island is quiet and a bit isolated and that makes it pretty relaxing and special. Highly recommend this home to rent.

Luxury getaway on Saturna Island
Bella Haven surpassed expectations (and we are picky). The owners thought of every detail - from gorgeous design, all new and stylish appliances, utensils, cookware and dishes, heated bathroom floor, full sized fidge, dishwasher and comfortable king sized bed...and everything is imaculately clean and well maintained. The unit comes with its own patio, full BBQ, quality Adirondack chairs and the best sunset views on the island. Hosts Rob and Sue are so helpful and friendly. A number of locals said this is the best place to stay on the island and we agree. We will be back!

Beautiful place with an amazing view!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Bella Haven and highly recommend it to others. The accommodations had everything we needed, was very comfortable and well-supplied. Beautiful outdoor areas with the patio and surrounding garden, and the seating area out by the water. The location is amazing being right on the water with great sunset views, it was a perfect place to launch our kayak from. Sue, Rob, Dudley and Angus were all super-friendly and a pleasure to meet. We hope to come back again in the future!

Beyond amazing in all respects
This was, hands down, the best rental experience I have had. First, the apartment was absolutely perfect. Clean, beautiful construction, gorgeous douglas fir counters and white cabinetry, comfortable couch and chair, a fireplace, a large kitchen table and perfect bathroom with lots of towels. On top of having lots of space in the apartment, there is a good sized deck with a table and chairs and two comfortable Adirondack-style chairs. There were also 4 chairs in the yard close to the shore. Second, there are a lot of windows looking out over the ocean. You are RIGHT THERE, on the ocean and you see it from the bedroom and living room and deck! The days were long so we went to sleep with the red and orange of the setting sun over the mountains and ocean. Third, Sue and Rob were about the best hosts there ever could be. They were there when you needed something and totally careful of your space when you were busy. They are absolutely lovely people!!! Finally, Saturna Island is stunningly beautiful. It is smaller and quieter than some Gulf Islands which is its beauty. We were busy for 7 days taking every walk on the map, visiting all the sights and still we didn't get everything done (missed the Winery). It took two ferries to get there but it was a breeze since you just drive off one ferry directly onto the next--all coordinated, no wait, very easy. And...the ferry ride is part of the vacation with great views of all the islands and the snow-capped peaks.)
