Been here before and am always looking forward to it. Great price for a great area.
I was travelling solo in the Southern Gulf Islands and stayed 2 nights at Driftwood Village. My room had everything I needed. I was travelling by foot, so the distance to shops and the ferry was perfectly manageable. Tue room is cozy and the bed is very comfortable. It rained while I was tied, so I was not able to enjoy relaxing on my cute patio or in the beautiful garden areas.
For nature lovers,

Great place to escape to
Quiet and comfortable cabin. Bring some bottled water though, as the tap water has a strange taste

Very nice little cottage, clean and comfortable. I would suggest trying to add another comfortable chair in the living room area as the couch is very small for 2 adults - and we are below average size

This is an older property in a nice area with pretty grounds. Our unit had a tiny kitchen which was a little hard to maneuver in, but it was workable. Communication was good as far as instructions to do self check-in.

Atmosphere. Love the cozy cabin feel with the fire place. Good selection of wood as well. What I didn’t like was I found dirty Kleenex under the bed. Also there is carpet in the cabin which I felt was dirty.
Driftwood Village was a pleasant surprise at Mary Ann Point on Galiano Island. We stayed in the Deer Cottage which is just perfect for two people. The cottage was much larger than I expected with a kitchenette and a full-sized bathroom - - which was in excellent condition and extremely tidy. We had our own private parking spot as well as a patio deck with table and chairs. It was the perfect shady nook for a summer day. It’s always better to have a car, but you can reach the property easily on foot. Probably 40-minutes on foot. Beach Site 14 on Galiano offers a stunning view of Active Pass with large ferry boats passing through it - - as well as the possibility of a pod of orcas. We stayed 4 days, but I think we could have enjoyed the cottage for several weeks. They have larger cottages which I also hope to investigate next summer. Heather made our arrival and departure easy. If you are looking for quiet privacy, a cozy cottage, in lovely surroundings, I encourage you to consider Driftwood Village.

We arrived early at 10:30am and contacted Heather. She had the room ready for us in half an hour, so no need to wait till 3 pm to check in. The property was quiet. Sitting on the balcony and listened to music in the morning was my favorite. We had the cabin with 2 rooms. Living room and the 2 rooms were decent size. The kitchen has everything you need to make breakfast and small meals. WiFi is solid. Only negative is hot water kind of runs at night, but I believe that's common on the island.
Nice property. Friendly staff, quiet and close to everything, nice hikes nearby. Comfortable bed but cabin was extremely hot and stuffy due to only one window and a small fan. Otherwise a very good stay!
Very sweet little cabins. Lovely property. Not too far to get to a beach. For staying in the summer, though, I do wish there were screens on the windows. Other than that, it was a great stay!

I loved how many shore access points there were on the island. Everything was very dog friendly, Little to no traffic. Cool culture and history with beautiful views beautiful different beaches to chill at from pebbles, sandstone and fine sand. Absolute gem of an island

Sweet cottage, nice gardens. It's not right on the water but is a pretty close walk. Just over 30 minute walk to the ferry. Everything was clean and neat and in good condition.

Beautiful property with cottages in desperate need of renovation. It looks like nothing has been updated since the 80’s. Screens on the windows and sliding door would be a big improvement. Communication via text was excellent and the extra coffee packets were very much appreciated. Advice to bring bottled water was right on!
Clean. Spacious. Excellent communication. Well equipped kitchen and furnishings. Fantastic value.

Comfortable and sweet!
2 mins away from the terminal. The host got the house ready for us way earlier and allowed us to move in right after the ferry arrived the island. Check in was quick and easy. The office is very cute and very convenient. The separated houses were little but very comfortable. We loved our staying in the property. Our kids enjoyed the badminton and volleyball games. The little ponds and gardens are very beautiful. We will definitely recommend this property.
