About this property

Welcome to the Ocean Front Cowibbean Cottage

Waking up to the beautiful sights & sounds of the ocean, the birds chirping, the seal lions barking will instantly put you in vacation mode.
A fully stocked kitchen will allow you to create meals to be enjoyed on the beautiful deck on stilts over the Pacific Ocean. Don’t want to cook? That’s okay too! The community of Cowichan bay with its famous restaurants, pub, ice cream store & an abundance of local shops are all within walking distance. The property has 3 security cameras, one mounted on the front of the house facing the dock, one mounted on the guesthouse facing the front door of the cottage and the final one mounted on a piling looking back at the house to watch the tidal changes. This last camera can be disabled during your stay. These cameras are for secure purposes only and do not impede the privacy of your stay.

It is a lovely place, and our second time staying. Very comfortable, clean and a wonderful spot. The one downside is sharing the dock with the other guests. They have to walk directly past the bedroom windows, so we had to close the curtains, which is a shame because we are there for the view. As well, this time, the other guests spent a lot of time going to and from the dock (fishing, and a crab cage) so we did not get to enjoy sitting on the dock as much as we would have liked.

Love This Gorgeous Property

This is our second year staying at this property. We absolutely LOVE it. It's extremely convenient to walk through Cow Bay and it's very Close to the South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club. We spend as much time as possible sitting on the deck and watching the water and wildlife. Danielle is a delight, too! She's extremely responsive.

Absolutely love it

We have 2 couples stayed 2 nights in this beautiful cottage. We all loved it. Everything is new and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped. Location is great! We can see the Amazing bay view from the bedrooms. Taking a nap at the patio with the breathtaking view is absolutely wonderful. It’s so quiet and comfortable to sleep at night. We will definitely come back again.Just one small suggestion to add tissue box on dining table.

Cowichan Bay Paradise

Beautiful ocean front property with large deck and dock (you could dock a fairly large boat) overlooking Cowichan Bay. Everything you would need for preparing most meals, including a BBQ. We had beautiful weather but it would be very comfortable and cosy in the rain. Would definitely book again.

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.

Beautiful & serene

The location is excellent: the fresh breezes off the bay kept us cool even during a very hot few days; the activity on and in the water was endlessly fascinating; and the drives to various attractions in the neighbourhood were pleasant. The house has great views with several seating areas to take advantage of them. Inside, the house is very comfortable and includes all the necessities to make our stay most enjoyable.
