Vancouver Island Seaside Community Cozy 2 Bedroom Cottage With Hot Tub

If you’re looking for an idyllic cottage escape, Dragonfly Cottage At The Cedar Estates is the place to book on Vancouver Island.

Important Notice: This property is compliant under the principal resident requirement in the BC Short Term Rental Accommodation Act that came into effect on May 1, 2024.

Nestled in a safe, quiet neighbourhood in the seaside community of Cedar Estates, just south of Nanaimo proper, you’ll find a relaxing, immaculately updated cottage retreat.

With a cozy living room, bright, functional kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms and lovely outdoor living spaces you’ll be hard-pressed to find another property that offers families and couples everything that the Dragonfly does.

If you’re looking for a seaside cottage with idyllic outdoor spaces, the Dragonfly doesn’t disappoint!

On the side of the front porch, you’ll find plenty of comfortable outdoor seating and a table where you can relax and enjoy outdoor living. Guests also have access to a BBQ for cooking on warm evenings.

When you’re ready to really start relaxing, the private, deluxe hot tub at the Dragonfly with ocean and Gulf Island views is truly an incredible way to spend any holiday evening.

Dragonfly Cottage At The Cedar Estates is ideally located only minutes away from the Cable Bay trailhead where you can enjoy a stunning forest hike at Joan Point Park where you’ll find fascinating rock formations and clear turquoise waters.

Just minutes away is the second largest city on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo is a fascinating city with both deep history and a lively, modern culture with great boutique shopping, incredible local dining or arts and cultural centres and so much more!

The capital city of Victoria is a beautiful hour and half drive south, an ideal distance for a day trip! Along the highway to Victoria, you can stop at many small towns, each with their own amenities and attractions.

You can also find incredible hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and paddle boarding as well as whale watching and chartered fishing adventures all close by! In the summer, there are numerous farmer’s markets in the area where you can find fresh local produce, artisan gifts, preserves and more!

Dragonfly Cottage At The Cedar Estates is ideally located nearby two BC ferries terminals: Departure Bay and Duke Point as well as a short drive away from Nanaimo Airport where major Canadian airlines land to serve the Central and North Island.

Nice and comfortable place
Everything was there for cooking, bbq etc. comfortable beds, definitely go back. The only issue we had were the neighbors dogs barking all the time but, we ended up reporting them and it stopped that night. The other thing were the wasps but, my husband got wasp spray to spray nests.

Relaxing country getaway
The house is located in an area of beautiful landscape--rolling hills, farms, forest. The ocean view from the deck is great when enjoying morning coffee and meals. The house is very well maintained, supplied, and decorated/modern. The property manager was very friendly, personable, and accommodating. We absolutely loved our time here!

Great Amenities and Cozy Home
Our family really enjoyed staying at this beautiful and cozy location. The features outside on the deck, including the hot tub and fire table, were fantastic. We appreciated the sectional inside the home and the options to log into our streaming services. The teens really enjoyed the dart board and the tech equipment. The only minor complaint would be that the kitchen supplies are quite random and more suited for entertaining than a family vacation.

Beautiful Stay
We stayed for a week and it was overall a great experience. We did have some issues but nothing major. We couldn’t get the propane fire table to stay lit even on a calm day so we gave up on it. Unfortunate, because we like to have fires and there is no fire pit. There’s is no cell service here, maybe a single bar in certain spots if you’re lucky and patient enough. This makes it difficult to communicate with the greeter. Which brings me to the next caveat. The view in the last pictures in the ad at the time of reviewing (the ones right down by the water) are NOT taken on the property and as far as we found, there is no access to the water. This property does have a slight view, but very hard to see anything due to trees and other properties. The dogs next door enjoy barking at seemingly anything that moves, which did bother us while enjoying time outdoor on the beautiful wrap around deck. This made it bothersome when letting our dog outside as well. We found the gates for the deck are too short for bigger dogs so we didn’t use them as our dog would have easily jumped over them. Bring your own lengthy leash as well. We would have also appreciated a little more privacy when using the hot tub. We found the one wall facing the rear of the property hardly helped anything at all and probably would have preferred it facing the neighbours property on the side with the steps. The kitchen features lots of counter top space. Great if you enjoy cooking like we do. There seemed to be a lack of pans and an overwhelming number of pots. The bed was very comfortable, although there is no tv in the master bedroom (while there is one in the other bedroom). The bathroom is very comfortable, with a large shower and heated floors. The bidet (toilet) was a new experience for us haha.
