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.

My recent stay was exceptional, and I was particularly impressed by the high standard of the accommodations. The fireplace and television amenities were excellent, and the quality of the towels was notable. All facilities functioned flawlessly, and the beds provided a comfortable experience. The property's custom design effectively creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. I would certainly consider returning for another stay.
