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 -
