Private, spectacular ocean vistas, swimming pool, EV charger !

Secluded and private, heavily wooded 4 acre mountainside property. SunRaven is restful and silent, but for the sound of the birds in the morning and the gentle winds in the towering fir, oak and arbutus forest.

The 1,500 square foot SunRaven villa was tastefully renovated in 2015 and offers three large bedrooms, each with queen-sized bed. One bedroom - the 'loft room' - also has a loft (7 feet up a ladder) with a play area and an additional queen sized mattress, ideal for children. A spacious, sun-lit bathroom has a large, walk-in shower. And you can prepare your meals in the well-equipped, kitchen or fire-up the barbecue on the balcony.

In 2020, SunRaven was fitted with a large roof-top solar array that provides all of the electrical power used annually, including a TESLA EV charger. The gas generator was replaced with an eco-friendly battery back-up system that guarantees back-up power under any circumstance.

Our south facing 60 foot balcony is sun-drenched from sunrise to sunset and offers breath-taking ocean views of the Gulf Islands and snow-capped Olympic Mountains. You can spend the day with a good book, or just watch the tidal ocean currents, the passage of sailboats and ferries, and the ever-changing hues of the wind on the water.

Our in-ground swimming pool with it's large sun deck is open June - September. Or enjoy a walk through our forested hillside.

When you're ready, Pender Island offers art galleries, local winery and cidery, bistros and restaurants, golf and disc golf. Or wildlife reserves, deserted beaches and beautiful forest hiking trails. Poet's Cove Marina Resort, whale watching, kayaking, artist studios and on Saturday, a Farmers' Market at the Community Center.

SunRaven is walking distance from the Otter Bay ferry terminal.

Summer getaway
It was a hot week during our stay! Pool was refreshing and the cool breeze at night was awesome. Property has an amazing ocean view from balcony, to watch the ferry boats come in. Great place for morning coffee and to star gaze at night.

Mini family vacation.
It was a family mini vacation. Grandparents, parents, and two children. Loved the swimming pool, it was a huge bonus on the hot afternoons after returning from exploring the island. Lots of space and well appointed. Awesome view of the water, great location. Stephen the host was on site and very friendly and responsive.

Wonderful stay on beautiful Pender Island
We had a fantastic two-night stay at Steve's property. I was hoping to show my parents - who were visiting BC from the UK - a true Gulf Islands experience, and this didn't disappoint! Steve's place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views out over the ocean, and gorgeous artwork spread throughout the property. Steve himself was great - on hand to greet us when we arrived and happy to promptly answer any questions we had. We had planned to go out for dinner on the second evening but after seeing the property, we decided to maximise our time there and stayed in, cooked dinner at home, played board games and then sat out on the balcony looking up at the spectacular night sky. A wonderful stay, our only regret was that we didn't book for longer!
