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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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.

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.

This is a formerly rustic but now beautifully renovated cottage on a dock overlooking Cowichan Bay. We were two couples and loved our stay in this remarkable time-passed-us-by neighbourhood. The only two issues were a double bed in the 2nd bedroom rather than the advertised queen and a door key pad that was hard to relock, seemingly an alignment problem.Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed this space and served up a great meal in the kitchen. We were sorry to not have put the clean dishes away as asked but we had to leave long before the dishwasher was finished. I have attached photos that i hope do justice to this beautiful property.
