Quiet, serene, and comfortable, this little beauty sleeps two in the main cabin, but also has a guest cabin which sleeps two as well.....( this is an additional 50 pr. night, but can be negotiated for long term rentals). It is walking distance from the main ferry terminal as well as the local shops and the Madrona which is a world class spa. Because the water is collected from rain water and has been treated, there is bottled water provided for drinking. The tap water is used for dishes and showers. Please limit your showers to a min. in the summer as Galiano is one of the driest gulf islands and water must be brought in by truck to the its not a problem in the winter, because of the rain. There is no garbage pickup on the island so please take your garbage back with you. There is a compost to use for food scraps to help condense the waste. Serendipity is a wonderful quaint and peaceful cabin that I know, you will enjoy and feel relaxed by the time you check out. There are also kayaks and paddle boards available for rent at the bottom of the property. Contact information will be left at the cabin.. Thankyou so much for considering Serendipity Deborra Pictures of birds and wildlife have been taken by Susan Robertshaw. Sue is an established nature photographer who has stayed at the cabin taking pictures and given me permission to use her photo's. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Free bottled water - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the ocean - Next to a golf course - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Composting - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20920000/20912200/20912141/5cdde74c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Book your winter escape on the water!

We especially loved the sunset views, eating all meals on the deck, the hummingbirds and the overall serenity of the place. There is a path that leads down to the water. During our canoe ride there was a curious seal that decided to swim along with us, that was extra special. We would love to come back! ##### Julia K.

Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful stay at this charming cabin overlooking Whaler’s Cove. The deck is an amazing place to catch the afternoon sun and the cabin’s interior is straight out of a magazine. I can only imagine how cozy it is in the winter! Great kitchen set up with everything you need and it is literally 2 minutes from the ferry. We tried to be very cognizant of the lack of water on the island. The cabin’s only water source is rain so very quick showers. Deb was a great host who has thought of everything you might need. Highlight of our stay was climbing Mount Galiano for the incredible view! Visitors should note that cell reception on Galiano was nonexistent so expect to literally unplug during your stay. Packing out our garbage was also a first for us as there is no waste service on the island. We hope to be back again to visit this oasis of the West coast. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d75e893a-0ae3-4587-be75-db562457044c-1755224449074.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shannan W.

It's just the right kind of cozy inside, where we slept so well, and the large deck outside was the perfect place to watch for wildlife, catch up on some reading, or just be for a bit. We enjoyed the proximity to some eats and shops that we could walk to. A swim in the bay in the late afternoon was about the best thing ever. We appreciated being checked-on by Deborra's friend who made sure we were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.Thanks for a beautiful time. ##### Kate C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert M., Oliver Canada Mar 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy get away Enjoyed the darkness at night. No light pollution. Calm whaler bay and the western deck was great to sit and read with the sunshine in the afternoon. Easy access to the whole island. Wood stove was burning all the time and great heat for this time of year. Kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, spices and oils for cooking were plentiful. Great place to hang out for your island vacation. We’ll be back when we get back to Galiano. ##### Robert M.
