Sea Meadows is a 21 acre estate on the Queen of the Gulf Islands ~ Gabriola. The island is just a 20 minute ferry ride from Nanaimo, and once you have arrived, Sea Meadows is less than a mile from the ferry dock.

The estate consists of four homes connected by a paved, 1/3 mile oval driveway, in a very private, peaceful, and pretty and park-like setting. The main residence is set back about 1/3 of a mile from the rental homes to ensure maximum privacy for all. There are four (4) rental homes. The first two "The Gate House" and "The Round House" are approximately a city block apart, and are 150 & 300 feet from cozy Descanso Bay. The third house, "The Honeymoon Hideaway" is set back further, and has its own private setting. The fourth house, called the "Estate House" is for rent for the first time, and sits alone on top of a small hill overlooking the valley, down to the sea. Only a lightly traveled road separates the estate from the natural cove and unobstructed beachfront. The beach is a typical B.C. beach, rocky & sandy yet flat walk on waterfront. You may beach comb, swim or even launch and anchor your boat in the bay. For large boats there is a marina 10 minutes away.

The entire estate is walled in on 3 sides by trees, with a concrete entrance, & entrance pillars in front. We are also able to accommodate 35 & more guests. The property is available for short-term and long-term, as well as weekly rentals. It is perfect for a corporate retreat, family reunion, wedding, etc. Of course as listed each house is available for individual rental. All are individually private.


The "Gate House" features an extra large living room (over 600sq.ft.), with 3 additional queen size sofabeds. The living room may also be divided in half making additional sleeping quarters private, four (4) large bedrooms, 14' x 15' each with queen sized beds complete with nice linens and comforters. Each room is decorated in different decor with sliding doors leading to a 12'X 15' private patio with cedar patio furniture. The two (2) full bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels and the kitchen is completely self-contained with refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, dinnerware & utensils.
