About this property

Maple Bay beachfront suite, just steps to your private beach patio

Welcome to your private oceanfront retreat in Maple Bay, British Columbia.

This beautifully renovated 800 sq. ft. studio suite offers sweeping ocean views, exceptional comfort, and a peaceful setting just 22 steps from your own private patio. The entire suite has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom, including new drywall, upgraded sound insulation, fresh paint, new appliances, and elegant quartz kitchen countertops. A new custom live-edge kitchen bar table overlooks the ocean, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or a relaxed evening drink.

With over 100 feet of exclusive oceanfront and a two-level patio extending over the water, you’ll be immersed in the sights and sounds of the sea. Listen to gentle waves below, watch seals, otters, herons, and eagles drift through the bay, and—on rare, unforgettable days—spot orcas passing between Maple Bay and Salt Spring Island. Guests often mention how special it feels to wake up to the ocean, unwind on the waterfront patio, and even pick fresh fruit from the trees just outside the suite.

The south-facing suite features a luxurious queen-size sleigh bed with stunning ocean views, making sunrise a daily highlight. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge, stove, and bay window overlooking the water—so even cooking comes with a view. For comfort year-round, the suite offers a quiet heat pump for heating and cooling, along with a cozy cast-iron propane fireplace.

Additional amenities include a full bathroom, in-suite washer and dryer, high-quality bedding and towels, reliable internet, and 60" SMART flat-screen TV with cable and PVR. Step outside to your private deck with BBQ and take in the ocean air, whether you’re enjoying a relaxed afternoon or a peaceful evening under the stars.

Ideally located for exploring the Cowichan Valley, guests can enjoy nearby freshwater swimming at Shawnigan and Cowichan lakes, float the Cowichan or Koksilah rivers on warm summer days, or head to Cowichan Bay for whale watching tours, fishing charters, restaurants, and local shops. Whether you’re here to relax or explore, this oceanfront suite offers a memorable and restorative stay.

About the host

Hosted by John Nichols

Host profile image
Patricia, originally from Calgary, and John, a Toronto native, found each other on Vancouver Island. John moved here in 2016, and Patricia joined him in 2019 to continue her consulting work while embracing the island’s laid-back vibe. Patricia’s passion for community-building is still going strong through her small business, which lets her work from home and stay connected to projects she loves. John, who used to race sailboats and play squash, now enjoys the slower pace of island life, working from home, and sailing on the beautiful west coast of British Columbia.
Both Patricia and John are always up for a bit of fun, physical activity, and spending time with family and friends. If there’s live music nearby, you can bet they’ll be there taking it in and probably on the dance floor. They’re excited to share their island home's charm with guests, ensuring everyone has a great stay.

Local treasures like the Hand of Man Museum, Westholme Tea Farm—the only tea farm in Canada—and Merridale Cidery, perfect for a picnic, add to the area’s charm. Dining options such as Genoa Bay Café, Maple Bay Shipyard, the many eateries in Cowichan Bay, and Alderlea Farms, known for its farm-to-table experience and wood-fired pizza, make this neighborhood truly special.
