Short vacation getaway

Very nice property with convenient access to both a quiet beach along the bay and a (steep) trail for a walk amongst the tall trees.It’s minutes away from Cowichan Bay village, and a convenient location for easy access to Duncan and the surrounding area.

Very beautiful, quiet holiday home. Very tastefully furnished. Top location, just a few minutes from the beach. There are even private chairs available at the beach. Very nice landlords who live a few meters away and help immediately in case of any problems. Thank you very much for allowing us to spend a few days in this house. We can recommend the house without any reservations.

An oasis of peace

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea and Cedars. The hosts are thoughtful and have truly thought of everything. The unit is beautiful and clean and, best of all, a short walk gets you on the beach. It was a perfect spot for us.

Clean and Relaxing

This was a wonderful place to stay. It had everything we needed and was incredibly clean. The location was close enough to anything we needed and several prime tourist destinations, but far enough away that it was silent at night. We loved watching the bunnies in the morning and the bats at dusk. The nearby beach was a delight. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking.

Bright and Beautiful

Kathy, the host, is like a helpful ray of sunshine. The home is beautifully decorated, super clean, and a short walk from the shore. The kitchen is well appointed with equipment to cook well. The bed was comfortable. High ceilings and many windows make the space very bright. Would be a good winter get away!

Lovely

The home was absolutely stunning. Nestled in a wonderfully quiet neighbourhood, it offered a sense of calm that felt almost otherworldly. Every detail inside was thoughtfully curated, with décor that struck the perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern sophistication. It felt fresh yet inviting, a true sanctuary. As much as I loved every aspect of it, my husband’s favourite part had to be the cookies—they were unforgettable! You will not regret this stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gary or Kathy

Host profile image
Newly retired, we are excited to share our carriage home and have endeavoured to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. As we live next door, on the other end of our 1.6 acre ocean front property, we will be available if needed, in person, or by phone, but will also fully respect your privacy.

Why they chose this property

Kingscote, the original founder of this area, apparently chose this particular property to settle on. Situated between old-growth trees, and the ocean, it provides a beautiful, serene setting to unwind. There are no street lights so it is a great place to star gaze on clear nights. It is also home to a variety of birds and other wildlife, and we regularly hear the call of the resident barred owl in the quiet of the evening.
