Skyfall Cottage - Oceanside Retreat

Modern-natural. Relaxing. Surfside. Whether you are travelling to business or to complete your bucket list you'll love the modern and spacious 1,200 square foot oceanfront retreat on the beach level of our home with a private entrance, covered deck and beach access. Two luxurious master bedrooms with ensuites, a living room, fully equipped kitchen, and private 500 square foot wrap-around deck are ideal for everyone from couples to business colleagues to a family of four. Your modern kitchen has every appliance and amenity for a chef with a Nespresso machine and a wide selection of coffees for your pleasure. You just need to fill your grocery basket at one of the two grocery stores a 10-15 minute walk (Queen Charlotte) or drive (Skidegate) away. T&J Seafoods at the Queen Charlotte harbour can also supply local seafood and process any fish you catch. Enjoy breakfast beside the ocean and stone-grill or cedar plank your daily catch on the deckside barbecue for dinner. Your retreat is fully private from the remainder of our home. A spotting scope provides you with intimate views of eagles, seals, bird life and boats cruising in and out of nearby Queen Charlotte harbour. The private view is hedged by Italian plum trees, windswept craggy cedars and the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Hosts Janine and Tom North will greet you and provide you with information to ensure your stay on Haida Gwaii is the trip of a lifetime. We are available by phone and text to answer any questions you may have. Laundry appliances are available to you. We are on an oceanfront acre, a few properties away from the friendly village centre where you can get groceries, and incidentals, and rent bikes, kayaks and paddleboards. There are a full service hospital including pharmacy, 2 grocery stores and a convenience store, visitor information centre, restaurants, museum, boat launch and the harbour, all within a 10 minute drive. We are 4km from the ferry landing if you arrive by car from Prince Rupert, and if you arrive by Air Canada to Sandspit, you can take Eagle transit to our door or rent a car. There is a scenic 20 min. drive and 20 min ferry ride between Sandspit and Queen Charlotte. At low tide, village amenities are only a short beach walk or a five-minute drive away. You can rent bikes or kayaks and paddleboards a 10 minute walk away and launch them at the beach across the road from Green Coast Kayaks. If you wish to take full advantage of endless beaches, forested hikes, and visiting the world class Haida Heritage Museum and artisans you will need a vehicle to get around Graham and Moresby Islands. Rentals are available in Sandspit, Queen Charlotte, Skidegate and Masset.
