  My family's stay at this house was a dream come true. We enjoyed the large rooms, the fantastic decks, the hot tub, the view and the visits from the bald eagle. The house and property far exceeded our expectations. The online pictures and descriptions do not do the house justice. We particularly enjoyed the welcome bottle of wine. The instructions left by the home owners were well written and easy to understand. I would recommend this property to anyone, and would be more than happy to return for another visit.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind review. We like to think of our guests as "family" and have enjoyed meeting several visitors and making new friends. It is always a pleasure to share our home and to read the comments in our guestbook. Happy travels! --Denis and Carolyn.

  Although we had seen the pictures nothing could compare to what was waiting for us when we arrived at seagate. The house was wonderful but then we saw 'that' view. Wow. The house was all we had hoped for and more, very convienient for exploring the entire island. There were so many things to do locally, like whale watching, visiting Butchart Gardens and sampling the many local vineyards and restaurants. Being able to come back to such a lovely home in the evenings only added to our wonderful holiday on Vancouver Island. Thanks to Denis and Carolyn for sharing their home with us.

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind comments. It is always nice to know that our guests enjoy our home and the location as much as we do. Also thanks for leaving the house so tidy. Much appreciated. We would love to have you return to Seagate. Happy travels, Denis and Carolyn.

  The scents, sights and sounds of Seagate are still present in my memories. We spent last week in Paradise at Seagate! It was fun to prepare our meals in the gorgeous kitchen and decide which of the wonderful al fresco dining areas would we eat each meal. Spectacular views of Cowichan Bay from every window. Denis and Carolyn have taken great effort in providing a comfortable retreat with beautiful gardens, decks and indoor amenities with lots of privacy and solitude. We enjoyed the convenience of kayaking from the nearby village of Cowichan Bay, toured Butchart Gardens by day and night, watched the deer and marine life in the forests and beach near the house, enjoyed the convenience of wireless internet while gazing at the ocean, appreciated the decorator touches and Carolyn's awesome artwork, and so much more. We can hardly wait to return to this little slice of paradise shared between mother, daughter and friend.

  My family and recently stayed here and had a wonderful time! The house was perfect! The instructions that were left were easy to follow we hardly had to do anything to keep the house running! The deck was wonderful to sit and relax every morning as we ate breakfast! The hot tub was outstanding, great for late night star gazing. Great modern escape in the country! It had easy access to the highway towards Victoria or to catch the ferry to Vancouver. We loved every minute of our stay! Our family consisted of 2 adults and two children (8 and 9 yrs) we had a great stay our only wish is that it was closer to Kansas so we could return! :)

  My husband, son, his friend and I spent a week at this wonderful home. The house was very, very clean and quite comfortable. The owners take fantastic care of this house. The view from the home is spectacular! The grounds are covered with amazing flowers. The kitchen is stocked with many more amenities than any other rental we've ever had the good fortune of renting. The wireless internet was very convenient. We enjoyed the hot tub a few nights. The home is very close to wineries! Upon entering the house, we felt like we were home! Thanks Carolyn and Dennis!

  I loved waking up each morning to the sounds and sights of the ocean. The forest, mountains, and ocean view are magnificent. Sunrise breakfast on the terrace became our ritual as well as looking out for the soaring eagle and baby quail chicks with their momma that scavenged the area for food. One morning we were fortunate to witness the sailboats racing from the balcony of this house; this was truly a magnificent sight. The house and property are meticulously maintained. Each room looks out to the ocean and inside the house are lovely displays of artwork as well as Carolyn’s own personal paintings. I felt like Robinson Crusoe in his tree house! Smelling the jasmine as I entered and left the house each day was bonus, as well as the profuse blooming of roses, daisies, petunias, pansies, etc. that lace the house with their fragrances too. The location is excellent for visiting numerous places on the island; nothing is more than an hour drive away. I highly recommend this home with its beautiful setting. I hope to come back here again.
