Barbara's B&B - Spectacular Cortes Island Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
Wake every morning to the sound of eagles calling and the fragrance of ocean on the breeze. Meander among trees and seashells on a private and secluded region of Cortes Island's south end and rekindle your relationship with nature. Swim in some of the clearest, warmest waters around Cortes Island by day and, by night, enjoy the ocean's bio-luminescence under starry skies. Nestled between forest and sea, you'll sleep deeply at Barbara's waterfront bed and breakfast. Her accommodations are clean, bright and airy. This Cortes Island bed and breakfast is ideal for those seeking quietude and nature's inspiration.
Savour Barbara's full organic breakfast on the deck with an ocean view, overlooking Sutil Point Reef. Breakfasts rarely come this fresh. Barbara's breads, jams and pastries are homemade in her kitchen. Fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs are picked daily from the garden and orchard right outside the door. The accommodations are an attached studio suitable for two adults with a shared bath. The studio is well-lit and spacious with a private entrance, as well as being a fragrance-free environment. This special waterfront bed and breakfast offers so much more than a quiet and relaxing retreat.
 Barbara's bed and breakfast is situated on the southern most point of Cortes Island, between Hollyhock and Smelt Bay. It is ideal for beach combers and forest lovers. Exploratory opportunities abound! At low tide, you can wind your way northwest along the beach to Smelt Bay Provincial Park which boasts an expansive, sandy beach and shallow, warm waters. Loop back through the cool and lush forest trails to Barbara's accommodations.
In fact, Cortes Island is an explorer's paradise. Hiking and walking trails are abundant, with many hours of wandering accessible in the south end alone. Located at the gateway to Desolation Sound, Cortes Island's relatively undeveloped west side and its undeveloped east shores have the ability to take your breath away and create lasting memories. Cortes Island offers ample opportunity to merge with nature by kayak, either for independent paddlers or for those wanting to join a guided group. From Barbara's accommodations, the clear, green waters of Mansons Lagoon, which beckon swimmers and marine lovers alike, are only a mere 10-minute drive away. Those seeking a day on the lake will only need to venture a similar distance to arrive at the sandy beaches of Hague Lake park. Also located on the south end are half of Cortes' restaurants and cafés. Every Friday, an indoor/outdoor market opens with vendors selling a wide range of specialty foods and crafts, among other delights.
Only minutes from the southern Cortes Island hub and an easily accessible to an array of outdoor activities, yet still set far enough away to feel remote and secluded, this Cortes Island bed and breakfast offers an intriguing combination of the island's best. You're welcome to rest, wake and relax with the eagles while taking in the tranquility at Barbara's.
