May 2025 - Hello! We are Beth and Norm and are new to Home Exchange!
We are excited to introduce ourselves and our island home on the west coast of Canada near Vancouver! We are a well travelled retired couple with a love for outdoor adventure including including sailing, kayaking, hiking and skiing in the winter. Beth also loves to quilt and has a studio in our home.
At the moment we are looking for accommodation in Portugal in September 2025. We are open to an exchange or use your points. Please contact us if you have something available. Thanks!
If you plan to visit Canada and you’re ready to slow down and enjoy the laid back pace of west coast island life, Mayne Island is the place for you! Our home is located right on the ocean with spectacular views of the coastal mountains, passing boats, bald eagles and occasional humpback and orca whales. The home is large, modern, well equipped and has a great view from every room. The home features massive windows along the entire ocean side as well as a massive deck for relaxing and dining. Sunrises are always stunning! We have easy access to the water with kayaks available to explore the bay. Or ride the quiet country roads by bicycle!
Mayne Island is charming with wonderful parks and hiking, excellent restaurants, Saturday markets, an outdoor craft brewery and myriad of artisan shops and galleries. Frequent ferry service means you can explore other nearby Gulf Islands or the larger cities of Vancouver and Victoria.
