Beyond expectations! Will be back…
We are long time girlfriends who were looking for a central spot to meet and catch up over a weekend. We settled on Cowichan Bay and were extremely happy with the location, and the cute accommodations were perfect. Walkable to parks, restaurants, bakery, shops and an easy drive to wineries, more restaurants and shopping and various artisans and farm stands. We were super happy with the cottage setup and all the attention to details that gave us many choices if we stayed in (games, well stocked kitchen, cozy fireplace and throws and more). It has stunning views and was super clean and thoughtfully planned and decorated. We will be back!

Incredible view
This property is absolutely beautiful! The layout is excellent with two good size bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, indoor AND outdoor dining spaces as well as a cozy living room. A large deck with attached dock provide fantastic outdoor lounging space. Views are amazing from almost every room. Location is prime! Delicious bakery and local restaurants, water activities and lovely little shops featuring local artists. I stayed with my partner and my 13yr old daughter who absolutely loved it. Larger town (Duncan) with additional amenities less than 10 min away. Would absolutely stay again!!!

Outstanding place but privacy is an issue
When my wife and I walked through the door I think both of our jaws dropped. This place and location is one of the best we have stayed at. Right on the water front and sitting out on the dock watching the tide and all the activities was a highlight. Two bedrooms and two full baths is not typical to find. The only issue with the "guest" bathroom is the door looks great but only encloses half of the tub so showering can create a mess of water outside of the tub. The issue we have is one of privacy. We stayed for 5 nights. There is a small bachelor also for Vbro rent on the same property. That property can share the dock. Sharing the dock is no issue at all, but, to get to the dock the other guests have to walk across your deck which is at eye level the master bedroom, living room and guest bedroom. Not a comfortable situation at all for us. Both the bedrooms do have curtains while the living room has no window coverings. Often we would have the curtains open and windows open for that nice sea breeze. But at any time, the guests next door can walk at eye level and see in. I think it is good that future guests know that it is not just sharing the dock and know the full extent of how this property is setup with less privacy than other "like" places in the area. This is not what we signed up for. We would 100% return otherwise but will not with the sharing situation which is not at all documented yet on Vbro other than guest comments. I hope this helps someone else.

Quaint and quiet
Absolutely delighted with this little gem. Terrific views, and great area. Spent a lot of our time on the deck and dock. Beds are good, but if you like a firm bed, these are soft ones.
