About this property

Shipwreck cove

Add to the list of stories this little house can tell.
The nearby communities and lush Cowichan Valley invites you to explore the area by hiking or biking the nearby mountain trails and single track runs, whale watching, fishing or sightseeing by boat, or paddling by kayak or paddle board among the twin river fed bird estuary in the back yard.
The area hosts a plethora of bird life from hummingbirds, kingfishers, woodpeckers, herons, eagles and trumpeter swans to name a few!

The space
The house is surrounded by big leaf maples, cedars, sequoia, fir and palm trees, and has a seasonal herb garden that guests are welcome to use, right next to the barbecue on the waterside deck.
If you watch the tide, paddle boarding can be done to explore the estuary right from the beach, bigger boats have access to a boat launch less than a kilometre toward Cowichan Bay.

Guest access
The guests are welcome to the entire beach to the left of the base of the stairs, as the tiny bridge and beach cabin are occupied by the owner and are off limits.

The hot tub is located half way down the stairs to the beach, and guests have full private use of it (Only guests use the Hot tub) , but the stairs are shared to access the private beach cabin.

Parking for shipwreck cove is in the immediate driveway next to the house, next to the antique street light.

The driveway access on the cow bay side is for the beach cabin.

Other things to note
I’d suggest backing into the driveway, it’s easier to get back onto the road!
Also,
garbage and recycling must be separated, soft plastic belongs in the garbage, there’s notes on the cans and a guide on the cork board.
Pets are welcome but must be registered, and a pet deposit is necessary to cover extra cleaning or damages .
