The cottage was so clean , comfortable and had a wonderful fireplace to take the chill off of a couple cooler evenings. The view was so beautiful. Our stay was peaceful and everything we wanted. Lots of great restaurants close by. The ocean provided so much entertainment with all the seals , sea lions and a pod of orcas. The locals were so informative and friendly. We can’t wait to go back!

The absolute best home we have stayed in to date! The cottage is so clean and comfortable, and truly a gem. I often remark to my husband that people who rent should stay in them to see what’s missing. This place is by far and away the most well appointed, comfortable and comes with everything you need. Location is a huge bonus. Watching the sea lions swim, and the sea otters lounge on the dock was magical! If we could have queued up the Orca, it would have been mind blowing!! Needless to say, this is a “would recommend “ stay!

This place was fabulous. Loved it. Clean, beautifully decorated. Totally relaxing with beautiful view of the harbor. The kitchen had every utensil and appliance you need. Bedrooms on opposite sides of the bungalow. One with on suite and the other with bathroom outside its door. Cozy sitting area and separate dining room. I can't wait to come back.

The village and the setting on the water were wonderful. The cottage was nicely appointed from the fully supplied kitchen, to the welcoming fireplace and the deck overlooking the Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cowichan Bay. I have confidently recommended this VRBO rental to friends.

My recent stay was exceptional, and I was particularly impressed by the high standard of the accommodations. The fireplace and television amenities were excellent, and the quality of the towels was notable. All facilities functioned flawlessly, and the beds provided a comfortable experience. The property's custom design effectively creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. I would certainly consider returning for another stay.
