About Us

Welcome!
We're the Tremblays, and we're happy to bring you along our journey.
​
After years of searching for the right place, we purchased a
1-acre parcel on Mayne Island, where we'll build a home...
It's going to be our "family legacy project."
​
Located about halfway between Vancouver and Victoria, Mayne Island is
small island with approximately 1,000 full-time residents, plus “weekenders” that
live on and off the island throughout the year. It's accessible by boat,
via BC Ferries or by float plane.
​
We call it The Grove.
The Grove is a sunny, forested, gently sloping 1-acre property. It currently has two older outbuildings and a deck, where we sip coffee and afternoon cocktails, while hypnotized by the ocean’s shimmering lights visible through the trees.
​
Right now, it’s rustic!
​
We use a “compost toilet”, there is no indoor plumbing, although we do have a well and fresh water, and an open-air shower with hot water on-demand.
​
There’s lots to do and explore on the island, from great hiking trails,
to beaches, a museum, the lighthouse, Japanese Gardens, a disk golf course,
a café and bakery, bookstore, farm stands, artist studios,
a couple of grocery stores and a few restaurants.
​
We'll happily share it with friends and family, so let us know
if you're interested in exploring The Grove and Mayne Island!
