Welcome to
AmberSand
Your Vacation Rental on Hornby Island
It’s a great location.
Beautiful Whaling Station Bay is a three-minute walk from Ambersand. You can walk the Helliwell Park loop from the house (5.5 km). A bike ride to the sandy and awesome Big Tribune Bay beach is 2 km or ten minutes. It’s a short and relaxing wander around the west point of Whaling Station Bay to Middle Beach.
More photos of the house and property
Relax on the large, partially covered two level deck with lounge chairs, sofa, arm chairs and a dining table. A large umbrella will provide more shade if required.
We have bocci, badminton, and board games. There is a good Bluetooth speaker. The Foosball table is in the amphitheatre.
We may have older fixed up bikes if you don’t have one. Just ask.
Note before you go further… Sorry, we do not allow pets anywhere on the property but keep an eye out for the Bambis.
Inquire about Bed and Breakfast in the off season.

Amenities
Microwave, toaster, blender, pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, crock pot, large bowls, cutting boards, chef’s knife, paring knife, wine glasses, margarita glasses, propane BBQ…
Sorry, there is no wifi. Cell service is decent (but not guaranteed) in the house using the cell phone signal booster. We are able to stream video on our phones but a Zoom call can have some lag. Hot spotting from cell phone to laptop also works fine. There is a business office with wifi as Ringside for those critical meetings. (Just ask for tips on all of this.) Walking up the little hill to the Adirondack chairs in the backyard helps too.
We leave some of our belongings around. Feel free to borrow toys, binoculars, books, spices, games, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and things like that.
