About this property

Bella Haven on Saturna.... Oceanfront Beach House.... Perfect Getaway for Two.

  • BC Reg #H714457739

    Bella Haven ("beautiful refuge") is a favourite getaway for many Saturna visitors.
    A bright and airy beach house set on a picturesque half-acre, adjacent to our home.
    Overlooking Lyall Harbour, you will have front row seats to spectacular summer sunsets and the ever-changing vista.

    It's perfect for one or two people looking to experience the uniqueness of Saturna Island and the beauty of the seasons in the Southern Gulf Islands.

    Lyall Harbour is safe for swimming.
    There are no predators, such as bears or cougars, on Saturna.

    We have sought to equip Bella Haven to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a memorable stay.
    The open-plan living space, and the many windows, provide a feeling of spaciousness and light.
    Although there are no laundry facilities in the beach house, arrangements can be made, by appointment, to use the washer and dryer in our house if required.

    * We must mention our big friendly pooches, Dudley and Angus!
    They will greet you from the other side of the fence, but have no access to your patio or living space.
    They may be "vocal" upon your arrival but they settle quickly.

    Our beautiful and peaceful setting lends itself to relaxation, but is also a perfect home-base for:
    - photographers
    - hikers
    - cyclists
    - nature lovers
    - star gazers
    - scuba divers
    - kayakers
    - writers
    - artists
    -beachcombers
    ....and dreamers

    Nearly 50% of Saturna Island is protected by the Gulf Islands National Park. Additional parks bring the total of protected areas close to 70%.
    There are breathtaking views and vast areas to explore.
    As well, Saturna is one of the premiere land-based whale watching locations in the Gulf Islands.

    Saturna is an island of extraordinary, unspoiled beauty.
    Make "Bella Haven" YOUR Gulf Island Getaway.... Treat yourself!

    Travel to Saturna via BC Ferries or Seair Seaplanes from Vancouver,
    and by BC Ferries from Victoria.
    *When travelling from Vancouver via BC Ferries in the summer months it's imperative to book reservations WELL in advance.

Wow! This is an exceptionally well designed space that is incredibly well appointed and located in an idyllic setting. Sue and Rob have thought about every detail, from the deck with fire table and Weber barbecue (where we also enjoyed watching the rufous hummingbirds) to the sleeping, cooking and other amenities. This is a great place for launching sea kayaks for an exploration of world class paddling waters or just settling in to watch the sunset with a nice glass of wine. Sue and Rob were great hosts and were available to attend to any of our needs, while respecting our privacy. If you are looking for serenity, quiet and dark skies at night with no interruptions, this is the place to go.

Bella Haven is a fantastic place to stay on Saturna Island! The view is amazing, and the guesthouse is thoughtful, cute, and comfortable. The hosts are fantastic and their dogs are adorable. No stay on Saturna would be complete without a trip to the amazing East Point so try and work that in as well. A fantastic getaway.

stunning location, roomy fully equipped cottage

First time to Saturna Island and it did not disappoint. This home was the ideal choice for us as a base to explore this unique gem of the Gulf Islands. The island is quiet and a bit isolated and that makes it pretty relaxing and special. Highly recommend this home to rent.

What a lovely space this is - so comfortable, so clean and so well decorated, that it truly feels like a home away from home - it has a lovely 'feel'. And of course, the fabulous sunsets! Sue and Rob were welcoming hosts, and were extremely prompt in addressing a very minor issue we had. We enjoyed a wonderful few days away here on Saturna, and would highly recommend Bella Haven to others. One of the nicest rentals we've ever stayed at.

Beautiful place with an amazing view!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bella Haven and highly recommend it to others. The accommodations had everything we needed, was very comfortable and well-supplied. Beautiful outdoor areas with the patio and surrounding garden, and the seating area out by the water. The location is amazing being right on the water with great sunset views, it was a perfect place to launch our kayak from. Sue, Rob, Dudley and Angus were all super-friendly and a pleasure to meet. We hope to come back again in the future!

On the scale of 5, Sue and Rob bend the needle. We’ve stayed at VRBO properties for 25 years and Bella Haven surpassed all of them for the quality of the beach house design, the well-equipped kitchen and the comfortable bed. We had everything we needed, and more. Birding books are often found, but Bella Haven actually includes birding binoculars!The best feature of Bella Haven is its location: the view from the deck is amazing, the silence and tranquility are spellbinding. The sun, the beach and the stars at night! We sat there for hours.Sue and Rob, you are gracious hosts and we enjoyed your company. Thank you.

Luxury getaway on Saturna Island

Bella Haven surpassed expectations (and we are picky). The owners thought of every detail - from gorgeous design, all new and stylish appliances, utensils, cookware and dishes, heated bathroom floor, full sized fidge, dishwasher and comfortable king sized bed...and everything is imaculately clean and well maintained. The unit comes with its own patio, full BBQ, quality Adirondack chairs and the best sunset views on the island. Hosts Rob and Sue are so helpful and friendly. A number of locals said this is the best place to stay on the island and we agree. We will be back!

Just a Great spot for our 4 night Saturna Island 53rd anniversary celebration getaway, and great friendly prompt responses from Sue and Rob for any of our minor concerns or questions or requests. Very well equipped for all our needs and close driving access to everything we wanted to see and do when exploring. The adjacent public beach access was a bit noisy at times, otherwise 5 stars instead of 4, but the rooms inside were very comfortable quiet overall, and it was a very comfortable King size bed. Great sunset views from the deck with the new fire pit to enjoy, and also from the private beachside chairs. As a very seasoned local and world traveller I can very highly recommend Bella Haven and Sue and Rob as great hosts!

We had a wonderful stay on Saturna thanks to Sue & Rob & Dudley & Angus and their beautiful vacation cottage. It truly is a cozy and charming place. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was one of the best equipped in a vacation property that we've had and the view & sunsets are even better than the pictures. Sue & Rob are wonderful hosts and Dudley and Angus were the icing on the cake for us. We highly recommend staying at Bella Haven - you won't regret it!
