Good, but not perfect
This was our first time on Texada Island! The view from the Beach House was beautiful and the location was excellent. We were staying next door to more family, so it was nice to have a big family trip. The Beach House mostly suited our needs when it came to space. There were a few issues when it came to the property being ready for us though. They’re in the middle of redoing their deck, so it was halfway completed when we arrived. They bought a new bbq but it wasn’t set up, same with new umbrellas that weren’t set up, and the dishwasher wasn’t emptied. The kitchen also could have been stocked better with more cutlery and better frying pans, etc. None of these were big issues, but they were noticeable. It should be mentioned that when we openly discussed some of these things being issues for us on the deck (e.g., the dishwasher, the bbq, the umbrellas), we soon received an email from the property owner mentioning those exact issues. There is a Ring camera on the property right next to where we were talking, and we’re fairly certain the owner was listening to our conversation. While she did a great job resolving our issues, this is a major invasion of privacy! Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and the view was wonderful, but we felt it necessary to point out some of these issues with the property.

Great location - but not in great shape
We stayed 2 nights June 2024. The location is lovely. The space wasn’t maintained like the ratings advertised. The deck was completely covered with pollen, leaves and all the furniture needed cleaning. The BBq was still in a box not set up. ( annoying as we wanted to Bbq.) The sun umbrella was broken. Everything else was very basic. The property next door the sand dollar looked amazing! Same style cottage. But with all the amenities set up and working when we chatted with the neighbours.

Beautiful winter getaway
We had a wonderful time in your cozy cabin overlooking the Salish Sea during the stormy season. The cabin had everything we needed for a fun winter getaway, puzzles, DVDs, a comfortable bed, and a fully stocked kitchen.

Quiet Getaway
Had a great visit to Texada, this was a wonderful cabin that had everything we needed. The bay has large tide movements which meant the kids had a blast exploring and swimming during low tide. Would return!

Relaxing Island Vacation
The cottage was very comfortable with a beautiful view overlooking Gilles Bay, which we enjoyed during our stay. Several nice rocky beaches to relax and explore during the week with Shelter Point, Glass Beach and Single Beach being our favourites. The museum is worth a visit and make sure to go to the Sunday Farmer's Market to pick up one of Gale's pies before they sell out! Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the cottage.
