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.

This place was fabulous. Loved it. Clean, beautifully decorated. Totally relaxing with beautiful view of the harbor. The kitchen had every utensil and appliance you need. Bedrooms on opposite sides of the bungalow. One with on suite and the other with bathroom outside its door. Cozy sitting area and separate dining room. I can't wait to come back.

The village and the setting on the water were wonderful. The cottage was nicely appointed from the fully supplied kitchen, to the welcoming fireplace and the deck overlooking the Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cowichan Bay. I have confidently recommended this VRBO rental to friends.
