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 Honeymoon Hideaway* is a good-size cottage in a very private 
park-like setting. The interior has a vaulted ceiling, a Four Poster 
Queen size bed over 7 feet high done in solid ash, and custom wall 
covers that make for a warm and romantic atmosphere. The living room 
area has a comfortable couch that opens into a queen size bed, as 
well as a 27" color TV with VCR for your pleasure. 
The kitchen is full size with a pub-type eating area and 4 suede-
covered bar stools. Kitchen is complete with full size stove, fridge, 
microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, pots, pans and utensils. 
The bathroom has both a shower and bathtub. This cottage, though 
designed for a romantic interlude, is also perfect for a family with 
2 small children.

PROPERTY IS ALSO PERFECT FOR A FAMILY REUNION, WEDDING, CORPORATE 
RETREAT, OR ANY LARGE FUNCTION. The main house (though not available

handled large functions, and parties for more than 100. Smaller more

have accommodated more than 20 quests comfortably. We have had the
