Galleon Getaway – Blue Door

A bright, modern cottage with vaulted ceiling, skylight and large deck, on a private, park-like half acre just a two minute stroll from beautiful Galleon Beach. Features a well-equipped kitchen, propane barbecue, full bathroom and glass-fronted wood stove. Sleeps a maximum of 6, or rent with neighbouring Raven’s Call for a family reunion or group retreat.

There are two bedrooms – one with a double bed and one with a single. The large living room couch also folds out to serve as a very comfortable queen-size bed.

A special feature is the Japanese winding stairway, leading to two bright and charming lofts. Kids love it! The larger loft sleeps two and the smaller sleeps one.

Blue Door is surrounded by lovely free-form garden beds with flowering shrubs, fragrant herbs, and beyond that half an acre of naturally landscaped rolling grassland. Trees around the perimeter of the lot provide plenty of privacy. The deck is partially covered and has lots of room for a festive barbecue. In the back yard is a picnic table amid a grove of maple, shore pine and cherry trees.

Galleon Beach Getaway is a perfect year-round destination. You can discover Hornby’s spectacular wildflowers in the spring, bask on our beaches in the summer, hike or bike the network of trails in our mild autumn weather and enjoy cozy evenings around the wood stove in the winter. You’ll see why Hornby is known as “the jewel of the Gulf Islands”.
