This is a cheerful and corky cottage on Vancouver Boulevard
Experience a unique adventure on a secluded island with sandy shores and ocean access everywhere.
This rustic cottage has a large sunny lot with plenty of room for games, BBQs, and fun.
The cottage is a striking turquoise color with a tower and a hidden loft. It has a comfortable porch, living room, well-stocked kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and a hidden loft.
The cottage sleeps 8 people comfortably.
If you are into enjoying a carefree off-grid life, going to the beaches, or relaxing on the deck with a beer or a coffee. This cottage is ideal for you, your families, or friends who want to enjoy a relaxing getaway in nature.
It is gradually ongoing modernization and improvements so it is still a bit rustic but we think it is charming and warm, we just added a larger propane hot water on demand to accommodate more people.
Toilet paper, dish/hand soap, garbage bags, and a few other basics are included with your stay. We have outdoor and indoor games for kids and beach stuff for you to use.

12 Bikes to use for free
Adult and kid bikes are supplied but should bring your helmet. We have a few kid's helmets but to be safe best to bring your own.
Every guest must sign the release of liability if they want to use bikes.
There are e-bike and normal bike rentals on the island if you prefer.
We have a lawn and lawn games so kids can play and some beach stuff also.
For the stay
We have mattress protectors, duvets, and pillows on the beds.
Please bring linen, and towels as there are no laundry facilities,
but we can provide bed sheets, duvet covers, and general linen like towels, dishcloths, etc...
Those have to be ordered in advance ... as everything has to be brought on the island and laundered off-island.
The linen sets come prepackaged and are there for you to use based on per bed and occupant... there is an extra charge for this, so ask if you do not want to be bothered with bringing your own.
Savary Island does not have any public services
All garbage and recycles must be taken off the island when leaving
Sorry, no fire on the island as per the fire station regulations.
Guest access
The island is accessible via water taxi and those have to be booked ahead of time.
There are no vehicles allowed for renters on the island.
The water taxi will organize a land taxi if you are not bringing your bikes.
The last water taxi is at 6 pm
Please, keep that in mind when figuring out your ferry reservations.
Once at the cottage, there are bikes to use so you can get around but the beaches are only a 5 to 10-minute walk from the cottage.
You will need to bring your helmets and sign a release of liability to use.
There is a hidden loft with a double mattress but you have to be agile to go up
