Welcome to the Savary Vista accomodation. The Savary Vista is a panoramic, water front cabin located on beautiful Savary Island, the gateway to Desolation Sound, British Columbia. Boasting several miles of sandy beaches, Savary Island has been described as "a jewel in the ocean" and "Canada's answer to Hawaii".

Kilometres of hiking and biking trails wind through the lush growth of fir, cedar, maple, alder, pine, yew and arbutus trees that cover most of the island. The Savary Vista is the ideal retreat for people wanting to get away from the hectic pace of city living... for a romantic, relaxing weekend or an extraordinary outdoor experience.

The warm nature of the soil and the flora is different from that of the rockbound coast and other islands. One spot on Savary may be like a desert, while a few hundred yards away there is a dense growth of tall ferns, moss, salal, and a wealth of wild blueberries, huckleberries, and blackberries. In spring Savary enjoys a profusion of wildflowers - sea blush, camas, rattlesnake plantain, fawn and chocolate lilies to name but a few.

All of this offers sanctuary to deer, some of them quite tame, and also to a wide variety of birds. Bald eagles are a familiar sight, while bird watchers can delight in the swallows, hummingbirds, thrush, sparrows, woodpeckers, kingfishers, screech owls, great blue herons, sandpipers, and sea birds of various kinds, including loons and seagulls. There are no bears, cougars or raccoons on Savary Island.

The warm waters surrounding Savary Island make it an excellent location for swimming, water skiing, boating, scuba diving, fishing and shell fishing. The Savary Vista is a private, fully equipped cabin overlooking the waterfront, with access to beautiful sandy beaches.

Dazzling sunlight, glorious sunsets, and moonlit nights on sandy beaches all combine to bring the glamour of the tropics to Savary Island, a paradise island in British Columbia's Strait of Georgia.

The crescent-shaped Savary Island is unlike most of the Gulf Islands in that the island runs east-west, an 8-km long, 1-km wide clay ridge covered in sand - an atypical landscape which most resembles a hideaway in the south seas.

Any island with natural attributes such as these is attractive, but Savary still has more. An atmosphere of history pervades the place, highlighted by tales of coastal Indians using it as a principal summer meeting spot, and stories of Natives fortifying Indian Point, the western tip, against marauding bands from other tribes.
