Housing a team?

We'll hold two suites, or more.

Health authorities, BC Ferries, the Nation, the school district, contractors — we can lease two or more suites under a single agreement to your organization, and you place your own people. One lease, one invoice, guaranteed availability on an island with almost no rental supply. Call us before you look anywhere else.

All rents CAD, monthly · furnished · all-inclusive

01
The Maple Executive Its own building · two real bedrooms

The only two-bedroom suite we have, and it sits in its own building above the garage — private entrance, no shared walls, nobody above you. Two separate bedrooms, each with its own desk, so two people can share without living on top of each other. Full kitchen with a proper stove and oven. The laundry room is directly downstairs, so this is the easiest suite in the building for wash day. Partial ocean views from every room and the beach across the road.

  • 2 bedrooms
  • Sleeps 4
  • Full kitchen
  • 2 workspaces
  • Bathtub
  • Laundry downstairs

Gordie's Lookout Top floor · best view in the village · quiet building

The view is the whole point — the Broughton Archipelago, the ferry coming in, eagles working the updraft off the point. Private porch, one bedroom, kitchenette, and a proper workspace to sit and watch the strait change all day. The offices below empty out at the end of the workday, so evenings and weekends you effectively have the building to yourself: no neighbours through the wall, nobody overhead, no late-night noise.

No surprises

What's in the rent.

One number, every month. We don't send a second bill in January.

Included

  • Wifi that holds a video call
  • Heat and hot water
  • Laundry access
  • Furnished — beds, linens, kitchenware, seating, desk
  • Smart-lock entry, your own code
  • Free parking

Not included

  • Housekeeping — these are tenancies, not hotel stays
  • Linen and towel service, or restocking (beyond initial linens)
  • In-suite laundry at Gordie's — the shared laundry room is in the second building
  • Tenant's insurance — it's cheap, and we'll ask for proof
  • Pets — not permitted at this time
  • Smoking — not permitted anywhere in the building
To be completely clear about two things. These suites are not serviced. They come furnished and clean on your first day, and after that the housekeeping is yours — nobody comes in to clean, change your sheets or restock anything, and we don't enter your home without proper notice. And at Gordie's, the laundry is a shared laundry room, not a washer and dryer in your suite. Access is included in your rent.

Four steps

How it works.

Tell us what you need

Which suite, when you'd move in, how many people. Text 250-974-2670 — it's the fastest way to reach us and it works wherever we are.

Come and see it

If you're on the island we'll walk you through. If you're not, we'll do a video call and send the full photo set the same day.

Agreement and deposit

BC Residential Tenancy Branch standard form — you get a copy to read before you sign. Security deposit is half a month's rent. We walk the suite together and both sign the condition report.

Rent on the first

E-transfer or direct deposit. 12-month minimum, then month-to-month with one month's notice when you're ready to move on.

Contact

Come see it.

Text or email. We answer from the island, usually the same day. We're a small family business with no front desk — if we're at our day jobs, a text still gets through.
