Currents at Otter Bay

Contrary to the last review by Mr. Rowbotham...we have owned at Currents for 7 years and we love it! Guest Services are extremely accommodating, courteous and go the extra mile and the resort management is outstanding! We would encourage anyone to buy into/or rent in Currents. Maybe this is not the resort for Mr. Rowbotham to be a part of and he should consider selling his share and find something more suitable for his expectations.

Fantastic location, well equipped beautifully maintained.Everything you need is supplied (almost - bring your own coffee, shampoo, spices).TV, WiFi, BBQ, pool, marina, store and walking distance from the ferry.The Currents team couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly, just what I hoped for at this serene Island paradise.Everything was so well maintained an beautiful. Can’t wait for my next visit.Highly recommend

The places are small for our group of 5 but we always manage to squeeze in. They're all nice and clean, well stocked kitchens and nice views. The living room is a bit cramped with one comfy couch a 2 crappie wicker chairs. Super convenient location being right next to the ferries ⛴.

What a fantastic experience!!! Dan and Tara hats off to you both. Sarah and I visited the Marina by boat and were treated like royalty when we arrived. Service was top notch and no" just didn't seem to be part of their business model. The baked goods were heavenly

(Reviewing cabin #15) Stayed here with myself and 2 other adults for 1 week. With the three of us, it was quite squishy and we personally would not bring anymore guests despite the 6 person capacity suggestion.Prior to arrival, were never given any welcome/orientation package/how to get into the cabin and had to contact the owner who mentioned that the resort would/should send it to us but they never did. After our tiring 14 hr travel day, we arrived to Currents at night and managed to find our place in the dark but still had to call the owner to see which cabin # we were in and find out how to access the cabin.The place has a very nice view of the marina and the neighbours have a very nice view of your entire downstairs...especially at night. If you'd like privacy and are coming to this cabin, I would suggest bringing your own blinds or curtains as there are none in the entire downstairs despite there being multiple big windows.There is also no storage for clothes or suitcases in the room. The closet for the 'big' bedroom has a curtain rod with no more than 5 hangers and no shelves/dresser for clothes and zero floorspace to lay suitcases down. The other bedroom has a locked closet. If you're bringing a suitcase to this cabin, you're likely going to need to store your clothes downstairs.You will be charged a $150 cleaning fee. I'm not entirely sure what $150 worth of cleaning needs to be done after completing the entire 8x11 page checklist of cleaning to do prior to checkout and minimal cleaning supplies provided.Water- would definitely recommend purchasing water from the local store to avoid a heavily brackish taste from taps.Pros: views, proximity to the ocean, modern suite, well stocked kitchen supplies, parking, willingness and flexibility to extend our stay as we had transportation issues, washing machine + dyer was great to have too.Cons: see above.

What a splendid retreat place! There is just something so magical about this location. The staff were wonderful when we accidentally left our favorite blanket there - it just arrived at our doorstep within days. I highly recommend Currents and Pender Island when your soul needs to recharge.

Sigh. Sit back, relax and exhale the white noise of the city. Walking distance from the ferry. Beautiful place to watch the ocean and it's inhabitants. Loved watched the ferries arrive and leave. Surprisingly quiet.

Convenient and beautiful location. Very clean. Would come back in the late spring or summer as we were without power for 16hours (the whole island not just these cabins) beds were a little uncomfortable but the view made up for that!

Place is great.....swimming pool is open from May to October. Awesome place to rest, relax and get away from the city.Best recreational property purchase we could have made.

Potential new owners or renters should think carefully before you invest in Currents! I have owned a 1/4 share at Currents for more than 2 years. Though marketed as a resort, management is taking Currents in a different direction and unfortunately it is becoming more of a trailer park than a resort. It's a shame! Some owners who would like to sell you their share or rent their cottage to you might deny this fact, but it's true!Initially, Strata Council and management were helpful, respectful and friendly. However, over time, as issues came up, that helpfulness devolved into something less than helpful or friendly. Communications from management, when I receive any reply at all, consistently down plays or dismisses legitimate issues.The dominant theme in managing the property seems to be more about spending no money and doing as little as possible. I wish I had known that before I bought my 1/4 share!Unlike another resort on Pender Island, the main pool at Currents is covered for 67% of the year with an old and reused green tarp! As the pool is a central feature of our property, I asked that Strata Council cost out a proper pool cover. Eventually, management acknowledged that they never bothered to get even a single quote in order to make a decision based on factual information, but that the request was dismissed out of hand as too expensive. Their response included the statement that they don't get quotes (what?), and pulling a tarp over the pool is the most cost effective method of securing the pool". I told them a green tarp belongs over a wood pile or an old car behind the barn
