A unique oceanfront, off-the-grid homestead on Read Island, BC, in the heart of the Discovery Islands.

Introducing The Homestead: Built around 100 years ago by some of the first settlers of Read Island, BC, this beautifully restored 900 sq. ft. home blends rich history with modern comforts. Recently renovated to provide today's conveniences while preserving its original charm, The Homestead sits on three acres of private, boat-access-only, oceanfront property. 

Completely off the grid, it offers a one-of-a-kind retreat for up to four guests. Experience true solitude just steps from the ocean and wake up to the peaceful sounds of nature. Enjoy breakfast on the waterfront patio, wander the forest trails built by local residents directly from the backyard, or spend your days kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding from the private beach. Whether you're exploring the shoreline or curling up with a good book surrounded by wildlife, every moment invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.

But The Homestead is more than just a beautiful vacation rental—it's an experience. We offer our guests the opportunity to discover the incredible beauty of British Columbia's west coast through exclusive Fishing Charters, Scenic Boat Tours, and Water Taxi Services. Whether you're hoping to reel in salmon, cruise through secluded islands and pristine inlets, or simply explore places that are only accessible by boat, we can help create unforgettable adventures during your stay.

The Discovery Islands are home to breathtaking coastlines, abundant marine wildlife, towering forests, and spectacular scenery around every corner. From spotting whales, dolphins, seals, and soaring eagles to discovering hidden coves and quiet beaches, getting out on the water is one of the best ways to experience this remarkable part of the world. Our guided experiences allow you to see the west coast from a unique perspective while creating memories that will last long after your vacation ends. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, The Homestead offers more than a place to stay—it offers an authentic west coast experience.
