Very comfortable space with lots of character. surprisingly spacious. the hot tub is a lovely luxury and we enjoyed using it. We had access to the back yard and the firepit but due to our busy schedule we did not have time to enjoy it.
Fantastic place. We (4 adults, 2 years old child and 2 large dogs) had a great long weekend there. The cottage well equipped, very clean, spacious and the host responded quickly to any questions we had.We have access the their garden and play area for the child and there is a dog play area very close.This is a superb location for exploring the island.
Walking distance to Maple Bay dog park, Hand of Man museum, the Rampant Lion pub and a short drive from downtown Duncan. Quiet, clean, bright spot with two bathrooms (each with a shower) and a hot tub - perfect for two couples or a family of three - four. The owners were very nice with two cute dogs. We really enjoyed our time on the island and will recommend the Sailor’s Rest to anyone looking for a place to stay.
We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was very clean and well-maintained, the host responded quickly to any questions, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals
We really enjoyed staying the Sailor's Rest. It was comfortable and full of interesting memorabilia. The host was very easy to work with and gave us helpful information about the area.
Perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. Super clean, nice decor and small touches that make the place complete. We will definitely stay again!

Exterior of property and the direct fenced area around the cottage was not well kept. The ‘fenced in’ area for the dogs was small. Pictures of the property showed the owners garden which were extensive and well kept, we were invited to use it and they tried to keep their dogs in! They welcomed our dogs and inside the cottage was very pet friendly. Upon arrival the hot tub area was dirty as was the picnic table and chairs, the owner did pressure wash during our stay. Overall the owner was accommodating and as mentioned the inside of the cottage was very pet friendly.
We absolutely loved Sailors Rest, the owners were very nice and friendly and the location was perfect! Definitely would recommend. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Our entire stay was excellent. Our hosts couldn't have been nicer and more welcoming. The location was ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, golf and pickleball. There were a couple restaurants in the vicinity as well as a pub overlooking the bay. To top our stay off the weather was ideal. Will have fond memories for years to come!!
We loved the location and the nautical theme. Super clean and comfortable and everything you need for a relaxing break from the stresses of the world. Definitely will come again.
