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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Perfect Getaway Spot

Bella Haven is a beautiful little cottage. It has been thoughtfully set up with everything you need. It's comfortable and homey and full of character. The view is amazing and there are several outdoor spots from which to enjoy it. Every window in the cottage also looks out on the view. The owners were welcoming and very responsive. A 10/10 in every respect. Highly recommend.

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.

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!
