About this property

This deluxe cottage sits on Ainslie Point at the head of Bedwell Harbour with waterview on three sides. You will have access to our private dock and beach plus be able to catch your own fresh crab for a special dinner. The large deck area offers extended outside living both undercover and in the open surroundings. Enjoy the feeding hummingbirds, the Otters playing on the dock, the deer perusing the garden as well as watching the passing marine traffic.

You can enjoy a special romantic/quiet time and/or participate in the activities of this unique ecological area preserved by the Islands Trust. This location is central to galleries, hiking, disc golf, a nine or 18 hole golf course, restaurants, the world class 'Poet's Cove' and much more.

Off season is just as beautiful as the summer months - warmed by a fireplace and sometimes beautified by a layer of delicate snow.

A Magical Place

What a wonderful magical place. We spent an idyllic few days at Ainslie Point Cottage with everything we could possibly need. The cottage was spotless and really well equipped including tea, coffee, and other store cupboard items as well as washer, dryer and we even had the use of a rowing boat or canoe too. Best of all was the magnificent view soaked up from the comfy sofa on the veranda or from the chairs on the large deck. Thank you Alma and Mack for sharing this corner of paradise.

Wonderful Stay on Pender!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage in August - from seeing otters, deer, seals and osprey, to swimming in the ocean every day, all aspects were delightful! Alma and Mack (and Callum) were fantastic hosts, we hope to visit again next year!

Extraordinarily peaceful setting

This was our third stay at this property for my husband and me. Once again, we found it the ideal setting for a peaceful, private, and relaxing getaway. The cottage is the perfect size for two people and it is bright and sunny inside. We spent almost all our time just hanging out on the large deck looking at the ocean, listening to the birds, and watching the boats slow down to go under the bridge. There are a couple of good hikes within a short walk from the property. Mack and Alma are friendly and helpful hosts, and always available when we had questions. We feel very lucky to have found this place and have already booked to return again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Mack Foster

My husband and I have owned the property since 1993. We built the cottage shortly after and used it with family and friends for 10 years. In the last 8 years we completed building our retirement home on the same property and live there full time. The cottage is now available for rent and we love to share this beautiful location with others. The cottage has its own view and is separated from our home by trees.

Why they chose this property

The self contained cottage has all the amenities of a full house. It is private and has beautiful water views on 3 sides.

We had a wish list for the property of our dreams for retirement and traveled to all the Southern Gulf islands over several summers til we found this perfect spot. Enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

Renters have access to the beach and boat dock, with use of a canoe and rowboat (along with life jackets) and a crab trap.
The cottage has large outer decks, a fold out futon, swinging chairs, varied deck furniture and an outside BBQ . This provides full outside living surrounded by glass railings, a mixture of trees types and a stunning water view.
