About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serendipity by the sea

Serendipity is located on beautiful Galiano Island...It is situated on Whaler Bay, and is nestled amongst the forest and wildlife...It is a well kept 50's pan-abode log cabin, on the water with a beautiful view...Deer, racoons, otters and eagles regularily frolick through-out the property.

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

Can’t wait to return!
Deborra was a great communicator and we absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was clean and well appointed with all the comforts of home. The location was amazing and we couldn’t get enough of the beautiful deck overlooking the water. We spent the most time there watching wildlife, eating meals and relaxing. We can’t wait to visit again!

First visit to Galiano…. Will not be our last!! Serendipity was pure Heaven! The mornings with coffee on the deck and late afternoon along the water was simply perfect. Such a comfortable, beautifully decorated and well stocked cabin. The location is perfect. Loved listening to the wind chimes. Thank you Deb for sharing Serendipity with us. We’ll be back.

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.

Weekend getaway
We had a very relaxing weekend away staying at Serendipity. It was a great base for exploring Galiano. Close to the shops and ferry but still very quiet and tucked away. We enjoyed spending time on the beautiful deck and down along the shore as well. We saw otters swimming by out front every night! The cottage is very cute and had everything we needed. It is very clean and Deb was a wonderful host.

You won't be disappointed!
A wonderful location, easy to find, enter, and was very clean. The deck overlooks the southern water inlet and is beautiful. We went in the cooler season and loved the wood stove. We biked to the local marina and rocky shores which are stunning. Thanks so much! Margaret and Dale
