Sandcastle at South Beach is one of the most modern and environmentally friendly vacation rental apartment developments on Savary Island.  It was completed in 2013 but only started to be used for vacation rental in mid-2014.

Built to the highest standards of environmental friendliness, Sandcastle at South Beach is fully solar-powered, has it own fresh water well, is fully insulated for those hot summer days (and cool winter ones as well) and includes all of the amenities you have come to expect in modern sea-side vacation properties.

How to get here

BY ROAD

From Vancouver: You need to take two ferries - Horseshoe Bay to Langdale drive an hour and a half and take the second ferry to Saltery Bay. From there its a 50-60 minute drive to Lund, at the end of the road. Leaving on Fridays and returning on Sundays can be a bear, especially on the first ferry - you can make reservations (extra $17.50) for the first of the two ferries. The second ferry goes every 2.5 hours or so - check schedules on the BC ferries website. Total fare is approx $130 return for a car and 2 people, goes down to under about $100 if you get a BC Ferries Experience card (prepaid card for the ferries). It is definitely a trip but very much well worth it.

From Lund: A Water Taxi goes from end of the road in Lund, leaving on the hour at busy times from about 8am (probably a lot less often when less busy). Reservations (by calling ahead, 604.483.9749) are recommended. Going back it leaves on the half hour - but again how often depends on season and demand. Fares are about$10-12 per adult each way, about $5-6 for children 2-6 and about $2-3 for bikes, and they will take credit cards on the Lund side.

You can leave the car in Lund at Daves parking lot for about $6 per night. Or, if you prefer free, up the hill about 1/2 km there might be some free parking.

Getting around on the island

Your own two feet. Alternatively, bring a bike to the island or rent one at the bike rental place next door to the pub, about a 5-10 minute walk up the hill from the water taxi landing, which is on the north side of the island. Savary Island Bike Shop, 604.483.7771. They rent scooters too! The island is 1 km wide at its widest point, and about 7.5 km long, it takes about 2 hours walking end to end - the beach walks are spectacular!

Leaving Savary Island

Assuming you ever want to leave - or have to get back to work for some dumb reason - the water taxi, swimming, seaplane and hitching on a private vessel are your only ways off the island.
