Global Havens is a licensed travel agency with 12 years of experience at creating unforgettable vacations on Canada's West Coast.

We honed our skills renting houses on Gabriola Island, then branched out to Mexico (a natural move for Elly as she had trouble finding private homes to rent on her winter retreats down south). Elly met some folks in Mexico who had a cottage on the beach in Parksville which they wanted to rent; thus began the Vancouver Island arm of the company.

We are always looking for owners who have beachfront, waterview, or otherwise attractive houses/cottages which are not their primary dwellings, and who wish to be able to use them for their own vacations, thus would not put a full-time renter in.

We are a hands-on company: we generally visit the house when the owner is there, and offer suggestions for making the house guest-friendly while at the same time protecting the owners' interests. We have a large network on the West Coast and have helped many owners find people to manage the rentals in their absence.

If you would like to be part of our growing business as an owner or a manager, we'd like to hear from you.
