Point Roberts Cottage

Welcome to our web page showing imagery of our property for sale in the Water's Platt community on South Beach in Point Roberts. Most of these pictures can be "clicked" upon and enlarged to full screen.

We originally bought the property in Point Roberts because of its unique location, although part of Washington State, it is completely separate from the mainland USA. The "Point" is surrounded by water and accessible by land only through Canada. Its location is close to all the amenities of Vancouver B.C. yet is quiet and serene. Much like a gated community, Point Roberts is very safe. Once you cross the border from Canada it’s like entering another land. The weather is mostly clear compared to the Lower Mainland and gets 60% more sun. Point Roberts consists of mostly small cottages close to the several beaches found here.

If you have any questions, please contact either Lori or myself. Have a great day!

Our cottage is only a short 3 minute walk to South Beach which is one of the nicest in Point Roberts and is privately owned. A 1/55th share of the beach and tide-lands is part of the property ownership. This has many advantages, including tanning platforms, a float to swim to and the ability to tie up your boat.

The beautiful Point Roberts Marina and restaurant are only a few blocks down the road or a short walk up the beach. The marina is perfectly situated to access the Georgia Straight including the San Juan and Gulf Islands.

Lilly Point Park and Light House Park are each close by. One can also walk the shoreline all the way around Lilly Point to Maple Beach. The local fishing and crabbing are great activities along with clam digging and beach combing.

South Beach House Restaurant is just down the road. There is also the famous Kiniski's Reef Tavern at the Point . The International Market is close by and carries everything one would need. If you want to experience downtown Vancouver or the even closer towns of Tsawwassen and Ladner in Canada, the border is a few minutes up the road.

If you like golf, as we do, the Point Roberts Golf and Country Club offers a professional 18 hole course at a great rate. Passing through the entry gates to the Point Roberts Golf & Country Club, you quickly realize why it ranks 6th in the entire United States for unique golf courses. Also recognized from within the golf trade as the 2003 Best New Affordable Course, and recently added to the Golf Digest Best Places to Play list for 2008/2009. Bring lots of balls :)

We leave you with a few images of the beach in the summer months.

Most of the people you meet in Point Roberts, especially in the summer, are vacationers and a festive aura envelopes the community. Experience all the activity on the water including pods of Orcas, sailing regattas, native fishing boats and a steady parade of private craft entering and leaving the marina, definitely one of the best locations in the Lower Mainland to dock your boat. If you arrive at the Vancouver Airport, Point Roberts is only a 40 minute drive. When visiting from Canada, you’ll find that the price of spirits, gasoline and food are considerably less, even with the higher exchange rate! So come with an empty gas tank and plan to go home with a couple of bottles of inexpensive wine, cheese and a smile on your face.

Thanks again for visiting!
