It was very clean and ready for our stay, no issues at all. Hosts were very prepared and friendly. Only would have liked a small side lamp for a side light instead of just having a very bright main light overhead to turn on.Otherwise a really lovely place to stay!

Communication was good.Our reservation was for two but the room only had accommodation and amenities for one, eg, one single chair, one very narrow shelf screwed to the wall (table??).

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Feb, 2026
Thank you for staying, the amenities for cooking, bathing & sleeping (queen sized bed) are all for two people There’s a desk and chair, two end tables and the bed is set up with large lounge pillows so you may use that for watching television, reading or conversing etc. the pictures are very clear as to the size of the unit, the write up mentions bachelor suite multiple times but can accommodate two. If there was an issue during your stay I would suggest reaching out to your host next time as I was literally on the property for your entire stay and would have been happy to accommodate your requests. Sorry it wasn’t to your liking.

Perfect!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The room was perfect and the sheets!!! Yall…I went home and purchased the same ones. It’s all in the details with this place. While you’re here, buy sure to go on a whale watching tour with Ocean EcoVentures, grab a drink and some crab cakes at the pub and everything for the Cook and Butcher is phenomenal!!

The bachelor suite is perfectly suitable for 2 people, Queen sized bed and ample space for lounging. It is small yes but it’s everything you need while exploring Cowichan bay and relaxing by the ocean.

Beautiful location

This one room bungalow with separate bathroom was perfect for an overnight stay. The view was amazing from the little deck off the back. Great food just a short walk away. My only suggestion would be black out blinds and being able to turn off the fan on the ceiling.

It’s a cute little bedroom with a fridge and a toaster oven. The separate entrance and parking were good. I would suggest putting an electric frying pan in the unit. Cooking in a toaster oven is not good, practically impossible. I would suggest having some hooks in the bathroom to hang a few clothes while showering. There was a BBQ but it was dirty and if raining out like it was then not useful. The bed was very firm and not to my liking. The TV was on the wall at the side of the bed so you had to prop yourself us sideways. There wasn’t any cable so all we could watch was YouTube. The internet was reliable. It’s a very small unit, like a car garage converted into a bedroom/bathrom. Location is good.

Cowichan Bay stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Cowichan Bay in Danielle's guest house. The suite was quiet, nicely decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is a private sitting area with a partial view of the marina. I enjoyed hearing the sealions on the doc in the morning. The town is lovely with an excellent coffee house and bakery steps away. And a handful of options for lunch and dinner. I'd stay here again for a weekend getaway.

Lovely little space. The bed was a little too hard, and there were a lot of noises in the night if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise wonderful and will come stay again for the price.

I really enjoyed our stay! Lovely view, great communication from the hosts, clean space, lots of kitchen amenities. The only downside is what you are getting is ambiguous. The listing shows you have access to laundry, but you do not. Also, you share the deck with the main house, which means you are at the mercy of whoever is staying there. Luckily the folks staying there were very respectful and didn’t invade our privacy. The section of the deck you get is right in front of the sliding doors. You can walk out to the end of the dock, but that means walking in front of the other units glass sliding doors (including their sliding glass bedroom doors) to get there. Feels like you are trespassing and I wouldn’t like that if I was renting the main space. The host said the laundry is only for the main unit, but it is listed in the smaller cottage as well which is misleading.

Happy little stay

Great location for mooching in local shops and cafes etc. We loved the outlook over the water and access to the deck (although access was shared with next door and we weren't fully sure if all involved were clear about this). The space is small but pleasant and full of character and we had all we needed. Communication with the manager was great. For us it might have been extra helpful to have found some simple written instructions inside the property with WiFi code and instructions for TV (which took us a while to figure!). Good value. We really enjoyed our stay, many thanks.
