Galiano Island - Galiano-by-the-Sea

A private, waterfront vacation rental, Galiano-by-the-Sea is situated on peaceful Galiano Island, British Columbia, Canada. This romantic oasis is only a 55 minute ferry ride from the Vancouver area and easily accessible from Seattle and Victoria.

Lounge on the large wrap-around deck, a focal point of these 1 + 1/3 secluded acres. Wake up to the tranquil sounds of songbirds. Enjoy your coffee and watch herons fishing, otters and seals diving and playing, and sailboats passing by into Whaler's Bay.

This warm and spacious home is a perfect getaway for adults. Relax and enjoy the daytime ocean views and the nighttime stars over the moonlit bay. Galiano Island is perfect for cycling, canoeing, hiking, kayaking, diving, swimming, beachcombing, bird and wildlife watching, sailing and boating.

Cozy up to the large fireplace after a day of exploring the island. This open concept home is surrounded by fir, pine, cedar and arbutus trees, Himalayan blackberry bushes, lawns on two levels, grass meadows down by the beach, and rich flora and fauna gardens (feel free to plant and garden putter - tools in garden shed).

Five minutes from the Sturdies Bay ferry dock and conveniently located within walking distance to the Pub, stores, bakery and cafes, Galiano-by-the-Sea is a short drive to the Golf Course, Mount Galiano hiking trails, Montague Harbour Marina and yacht moorage (kayak & fishing tours available), and much more. Be sure to end your day with cocktails or dinner at one of the nearby world-class restaurants.

Privately surrounded by trees, Galiano-by-the-Sea offers 130 feet of private sandstone beach waterfront, yours to discover. Several types of starfish, both orange and purple, are always down by the waterfront waiting for those who enjoy beachcombing.
