Encontre lugares para ficar em Whaletown no Airbnb

Our floathouse has everything a guest could want: privacy, beautiful waterfront location, and a dock for your kayaks. Its vintage ambience combines much of its original historical nature and water travels. Built over 60 years ago as a bunkhouse for hand logging shows (camps) it became part of our floating household. It has been many places on the coast in its life and still rests on its skid logs. However, I think our traveling household days are over.

Our "floathouse" has been a vacation rental for 15 years and contains most everything one would want. The kitchen has everything needed for meal preparation and baking and a variety of small appliances. The bedroom has a double bed and the living room has a sofa bed.

Our little cabin was originally built as a generator shed over 60 years ago. It has toured the local waters as a part of our floating household (the floathouse on the beach and the storage shed in the yard).

If you're looking for waterfront privacy and immersion in nature, this Cortes Island cabin set in 10 acres of forest with stunning sunset views may be what you're looking for. Equipped w/ Wifi, full kitchen, phone. Rustic feel not for everyone.

Reachable by 2 ferries from Campbell River (first to Quadra, then to Cortes), Cortes Island is a small island with a progressive counter-culture vibe. The cabin is fully equipped with full kitchen, bath with tub and sawdust toilet, WiFi, ipod dock (iPhone 4 or earlier connector), tv/dvd, phone for local calls. It has a rustic feel in harmony with nature. Downstairs is an open living room, dining room and kitchen with wood stove and sunset views west out over Gorge Harbour. Upstairs is a large bedroom with 2 queen beds and 1 double bed. Surrounding the cabin are large wooden decks built into the mossy bluffs. There is a small rocky beach just below the cabin for swimming. If you'd like to explore the harbour by boat, kayaks are available for rent at the Gorge Harbour Marina (about a 5 min drive away). Note: the Wifi is new as of Aug 2014. Getting internet access to this remote spot is a expensive undertaking and there is limited monthly download capacity so we ask you avoid large downloads and it is not appropriate for very heavy users. Peak summer rentals are Saturday to Saturday only and for a minimum of a week. Other periods the dates are flexible but with a 4 day minimum. This cabin isn't for everyone so please check with us before booking and we'll make sure the place is right for you. I do not recommend the cabin for families with young children as there aren't really railings on the decks with steep drop-offs. Please also check the location of Cortes Island before booking, to get there from Vancouver requires 3 ferries and about 8 hours so it is not really suitable for a weekend trip from the city unless you are already on Vancouver Island. And the furniture and the appliances are old and funky as this is a family cabin that has changed little since the 70s; everything works of course but if you're looking for gleaming and new, this isn't the place for you. Some details / frequently asked questions: What is a sawdust toilet? There is an indoor toilet but it goes into a bucket (accessed from outside the cabin) which you must empty into an outhouse pit every few days. We do not live on the island so support is limited. A neighbor can help with emergencies. We do have a cleaner that comes in between visitors but there is no laundry at the cabin and no time for her to do laundry. As such we request visitors either bring their own linens (sheets, towels) or launder any used at the laundromat before they leave. You are also responsible for making sure all your dishes are done, the kitchen is tidy and the toilet pail is emptied before you go. You must also take all garbage with you or to the dump before you leave. The driveway up to the cabin is gravel and steep in parts. You don't need a 4WD but if there is snow on the ground you may be better off parking at the bottom of the driveway and walking the 300 m or so up to the cabin. The cabin is spacious but there are just two big open rooms plus the bathroom. The upstairs is separated by an open stairway so keep in mind that you can't close a door and get full noise separation.

Cortes Island is a small island with about 800 year round residents. Summer time population is significantly greater. During the off-season the groceries stay open but not much else. The island is fairly sprawling though, most things are between 5 and 10km from the cabin so a car is pretty much required. During the summer there are also a selection of restaurants.

1,500 sq. ft. rustic beachfront house on 5 acres...large deck...hot tub...gas barbeque....2 kayaks...beachside deck and beach access.... The Wilcox Lodge is a serene retreat nestled on 5 wooded acres on the shore of Gorge Harbour, Cortes Island, considered by many to be the best of the Evergreen Islands. These islands are located on the famed "inside passage" used by ships going to and from Alaska and are sheltered from winter Pacific storms by Vancouver Island, one of the largest and most interesting islands in the Northern Hemisphere. Cortes Island is served by regular scheduled ferry service from Campbell River. Campbell River on the east side of Vancouver Island has scheduled airline service from Vancouver (host city to the 2010 Winter Olympics), and charter service direct to Gorge Harbour is available from Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver and Campbell River. Cortes Island is in the "rain shadow" of Vancouver Island and has far less precipitation than Victoria or Vancouver. Weather is usually warm and sunny with cool evenings May thru October, but sometimes it stays hot into the night. The 1,500 sq. ft. Lodge is situated just above the beach with a panoramic view of the harbour and a view thru the harbour entrance of Vancouver Island mountains in the distance. Wildlife abounds. You may see bald eagles and many varieties of birds, deer down by the beach or out the kitchen window, sea lions, seals or an otter playfully swimming by, mink, and perhaps dolphins or a whale on the ferry ride over. The Lodge is rustic but has all modern conveniences, a fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher), comfortable and spacious living/dining area that opens onto a spacious 750 sq. ft. L-shaped deck overlooking the beach and harbour. 2 chaise lounges make for lazy sunbathing/reading afternoons on the deck and the cafe & dining tables are a perfect spot for outdoor dining. Anyone for oysters on the barbeque??? The Lodge sleeps 6: 2 in the lower sleeping loft (California King sleigh bed with McCroskey mattress & boxspring), 4 in the upper sleeping loft (double bed and trundle bed with 2 twin mattresses). The Lodge is a rustic "A" frame with an open floor plan, the upper sleeping loft is accessed thru the lower sleeping loft and both the lower and upper sleeping lofts are partially open to the main living area (so no bedroom privacy). The two sleeping lofts are separated only by a curtain. The bathroom has a low flow toilet, a small shower stall and a clothes washer (dry your clothes outside on the clothes line, they will smell so fresh and good); there is also an outhouse. There is ample parking for several cars. There is a land line phone for local calls and limited long distance, WiFi (Limited data streaming and shared with neighbors), flat screen TV w/DVD player (no cable), CD player and record player w/record collection just for old times sake. We also have a collection of books, some by local authors, and some board games. Main thing is to unwind, have fun, enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings... Please note that this is a RUSTIC beach house, partially hand built, not a modern city house transported to the water side. The house is challenging to clean because it is rustic and hand-built with lots of uneven finished surfaces and nooks and crannies, so please don't expect it to be immaculately cleaned, this is just not possible with this type of rustic construction. Also the living room carpet has some stains on it which means guests do not have to worry about damaging the carpet when you, your kids and your dogs inevitably track in dirt and sand. Also we are at the beach on on the edge of the forest, the house is loosely built (as opposed to tight construction), and while we go to great efforts to patch any potential entry ways for mice & squirrels, occasionally they do make their way into our home & we then will set mice traps to try and eliminate the problem as quickly as possible. Squirrels have been known to get in between the roof and ceiling. This can and does occasionally happen during the summer rental season. The driveway is an unpaved dirt road. Please go slow. It is bumpy and a low riding vehicle could hit bottom. While you don't need a 4-wheel drive to get down our driveway, you may want to leave a low-riding vehicle or an expensive new car at home. The Lodge is not as remote as it sounds, neighbors are within walking distance as is the Gorge Marina with gourmet restaurant, small grocery, gasoline, and a beautiful outdoor swimming pool & hot tub overlooking the harbour/marina and open to the public at certain times. One neighboring cottage can be seen from our deck. The Lodge is 2 1/2 miles from downtown Whaletown with government dock, post office, church and mini-library. The Lodge is not child-proofed and may not be suitable for young children (or you may have to watch them closely). Also, the short pathway down to the beach from the deck is a bit uneven and not handicap accessible. When you tire of hanging out around the Lodge, numerous outdoor recreational opportunities abound: fishing and clamming, boating, sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming at the Marina pool or Hague Lake, Hollyhock retreat center courses, other beaches to explore...There are several good restaurants on the island, and good quality organic foods for preparing your own meals can be purchased at the local Coop and from several local farms.

A summer 2018 guest's experience: youtube.com/watch?v=mHa9sdJ0FSU

Walk out your door, pick fresh oysters & clams and cook them in our beach firepit while enjoying the sunset. Launch your boat or use one of our kayaks. Don't forget your water shoes and hiking boots so you can enjoy the mulitude of walking trails and cliffside walk. Preferably suitable for adults.

No pets preferred in consideration of guests who may have allergies. In the winter when the windows are closed, the warmth of the sun brings the flies out of the woodwork. If you don't want to share your space, feel free to swat them or open a window to let them out. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we really have no idea how we can control this.

Floating in and out of the Lagoon is a great experience. In the summer months Cortes offers three markets on the weekends; Friday market at Mansons Hall, Saturday market at the Gorge Marina and Sunday market at Squirrel Cove.

Come and experience west coast life. Our WATER ACCESS ONLY, off the grid, 3 bedroom house is spacious, yet cozy and is fully equipped. With a 60ft private dock, it is a great place for family and friends whether you are fishing, kayaking or just enjoying the south facing deck.

The main living area is an open layout with walls of Windows over the ocean. The southwest facing deck offers amazing views out to Sutil Channel. We have a fully appointed kitchen with propane fridge, stove and outdoor BBQ. The house is supported by a solar system and has a 3 piece bathroom. Due to our private location, guests are to bring their own linens and towels, take what you bring (remove all garbage) and self cleaning ( no big fees).

Cortes Island is the jumping off point to adventure in Desolation Sound, and an array of Discovery Islands. Or explore the inlets and coves of the island itself . We are nestled between the parks of Von Donop Inlet and Carrington Bay.

Cortes island is a paradise island, with a sandy fresh water lake for swimming, old growth forests for walking in, and beautiful ocean views everywhere you go. Our home is a spacious and comfortable house with all the modern amenities you could need. It's on a large property with lots of room to play and hike up behind the house to a view of the surrounding area. It's centrally located, and a short drive from all the adventures the island has to offer: clam-digging, tide pools, Hollyhock, etc.

A visit to Cortes Island is never simply a vacation. Maybe inspiration will strike on the ferry, while chatting with an island artist with a view over the mainland mountains. Maybe browsing a local artisan’s wares at the Mansons Landing Friday Market will invite a flash of your inner creativity. Maybe the warm smiles and the flowering gardens will inspire a new idea of how to live connected with your own community. No matter how it strikes you, it’s the rich community life on Cortes Island that leaves the longest-lasting impact on our visitors. Many Cortes Islanders came for a visit and stayed for a lifetime. Is it the wildlife, the serenity, or the friendly smiles on people’s faces? Come and visit to find out for yourself. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
