Book your waterfront stay!

Situated in spectacular Whaler Bay a quick 5 minute walk from the Sturdies Bay Ferry Terminal and all amenities - A calm serene bay with stunning views down the bay and beyond, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding and launching your kayaks or canoes. View our resident kingfisher perched on his pole, otters playfully frolicking stirring the glass-like water, watch for 'Sammy' the seal who comes round in the evening to check things out and watch the herons skillfully fish for their dinner. Galiano is also the perfect spot to see the many pods of whales that travel through our waters in the summer time.

We are available for rent year–round. So cozy–up to the wood burning fire and enjoy a good book in the winter or sit out on the deck with a refreshment on those hot summer days.

Recently redecorated bright open–space living & dining area with a cozy fireplace. Fully furnished 2 bedroom cottage, 1 queen and 2 double beds, and 1 full bath. Our fully supplied kitchen comes stored with dishes, cookware and appliances so you don't need to worry. The fireplace is a cozy accessory for those crisp winter days and fall evenings. The large 300 sq. ft. deck is the perfect place to relax on the deck chairs and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and views of spectacular Whaler Bay. There's also a propane barbecue so you can grill up your summer faves.

Enjoy the bounty of Provincial Parks, spectacular views, and wildlife every where you go and breathe that fresh island air. The natural beauty of Galiano Island invites relaxation, exploration and excitement.

Indulge in a bottle of wine and perhaps head down to Montague Harbour and pick up a fresh catch of local seafood the island has to offer.

The cabin is located right on a quiet bay a mere 3 min walk from the village centre. It is perfectly located for easy access to the island's highlights. Watching local wildlife from the cabin's windows is the perfect way to while away many hours.

Galiano mini vacation
Hi, We arrived in time to see the Kingfisher which was exciting. In the morning we saw a Bald Eagle catch a fish right in front of the cottage. This was all within 12 hours of our arrival. The cottage was as depicted in the photos. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom is lovely. We would definitely rent this cottage again.

Truly one of the nicest vacation rentals we’ve stayed at. Clean, generously stocked and centrally located. We walked more than expected right from the suite. Will be back with the whole family next time…

Incredible Beachfront Cottage
Andrea was a wonderful host. The cottage was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Beautiful views and quiet location with easy access (5 min walk) to terrific bakery & restaurants. Easy launch of kayaks with the tide in. Lots of wildlife - osprey, harbour seals, deer. Short drive to Montague Harbor. Can't wait to return!

Spectacular
This property is better than advertised! The location, interior space and amenities exceeded our expectations. Galiano is a wonderful island with many great hikes and even more shoreline access points. Mount Galiano is a must. Thank you for sharing your property.

Pretty Cottage
I really enjoyed this cottage and all the lovely design touches. It’s a great location to ferry and to shops for walking. It’s comfortable, simple and clean. The water is beautiful to watch the tides come in and out and the changing wildlife and colours are mesmerizing. The island is magnificent and the hikes and walks are spectacular and less developed than other gulf islands. Slower pace here which is so wonderful.

Wonderful, cozy stay
We really enjoyed our experience at the Kingfisher's Perch. The location was amazing and central. We loved how nicely decorated and extremely clean the accommodation was. The wood burning fire had to be our favourite and was extremely appreciated after a long day exploring the island. We found the water pressure wasn't the best which might be as a result of the need to conserve water but a small detractor considering the great experience we had overall. Thanks to Andrea and Dave for making our first visit to the island a memorable one and for being so prompt with all communications before and during our stay. Will definitely be back!

Great week
My 9 year old had an absolute blast at this great rental unit. She could take her floatie right off of the grass and into the water when tide is in. She loved walking thru the bay when tide was out as well. Sunsets from the lawn and deck were absolutely beautiful as well as seeing some deer and otters on and near the property. Walking distance to the local store, coffee shop and restaurant. Really enjoyed our stay and even on a less than sunny day we still managed to get out and enjoy the scenery and beaches. Thanks, Rich

Studies Bay Waterfront
Nice home on Sturdies Bay. It’s a long drive to the north end of the island if your event is there (like ours was). Finding the house was a bit tricky when it was getting dark, but once you know where it is it is very convenient.

Perfect escape
It was better than we expected! So peaceful, convenient, beautiful. We loved watching the otters, deer, raccoons and herons on the beach. It was a perfect escape for our family to relax and reconnect. The house had everything we needed and it was clean. Watched some vhs movies and read some new books.

The house was lovely and in a convenient location. The bay is a bit murky for swimming but great for paddling and there are lots of nice swimming beaches a close drive away.

Beautiful spot for wildlife, relaxation, and easy access to all amenities.
Great location, perfect spot for wildlife watching from the window and raised terrace, The highlight was seeing 6 otters all together on the jetty just tens of metres from the house, plus 2 fawns regularly in the garden, racoons, hummingbirds and kingfishers too. Only a short walk to all of the amenties you need, and a very short drive to great look-out spots on Active Pass. The property was exactly as described, only better! My only suggestion is that it would be great if there were kayaks for use too.
