Whether you are looking for a dreamy vacation home or a new place to settle down, this cottage for sale on a tiny island in B.C. has sparkling ocean views and is actually cheaper than the average townhouse in Vancouver.

Right now, the average townhouse in the city costs around $1.05 million, whereas, this seaside cottage is going for $895,000.

When comparing it to what you can get in Vancouver, it seems like a steal.

The 1,086-square-foot cottage is located in Blind Bay on Nelson Island, B.C., and it is only accessible by boat or float plane.

The kitchen in the cottage is a bit dated, but if you put in some work, you could literally make it the kitchen of your dreams.

On the plus side, it is pretty spacey and has lots of room for multiple family members to be cooking up a storm at the same time.
