Beachfront holiday rental in Cowichan Bay

This was our home base for the HOH rainforest. The forest was about 2 hrs away. The place is gorgeous, we didn't want to leave. We could have stayed all week and found so many things to do locally. The windows were large and we were right on the ocean. The dishes were cute, there was a wine opener (which was key). It was quiet safe, the waves were so loud (very cool), our patio was cute. There was electricity! Just a few lights and outlets to still have a glamping feel without being on the screen all day. The bed and sheets were so comfortable. Some mistakes I made. 1. Get groceries in Sequim or Port Angeles. We stopped at a tiny market and were very limited then saw a whole store! 2. A lot of places weren't open after 8, so plan for dinner ahead. 3. We thought we had to get there because it would be so dark, but in the summer we should have not hurried, there was plenty of light even when the sun was gone.

The little cabin remains an absolute treasure. I first came here 17 years ago and it remains as wonderful as ever, impeccably cared for and very private. The view from the deck is breathtaking and the hammocks are a special treat!

Great place. Would be happy to go back.

Not only is this home luxurious and immaculate, it is a nourishing step back in time where everything is hand-made, lovingly curated, and generously shared. I can’t recommend this little cottage enough. And if you’re blessed enough to walk the gardens, well…delightful doesn’t even come close. I really recommend this stay for a family or anyone looking to slow down and savour a beautiful time.

Beautiful property—neat little nook tucked into the hillside. We really enjoyed the gas firepit on the patio! Really lovely place for adults to stay, slightly challenging with an infant because washing bottles is hard in the sink and the shower head is quite high so no ideal way to bathe the baby. Would highly recommend for adults or families with older children though! Property was gorgeous and the space very comfortable and romantic feeling. Hosts were very accommodating and set up a pack and play for us and were responsive and helpful when needed. We saw so much wildlife on the property it was very peaceful. Thanks! Hope to return!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

This spot is so beautiful. It has everything. The view is amazing, there’s a work out room, kayaks, hot tub, trampoline. We hope to return !

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Jennifer's quaint, characterful, cozy cottage. The location, property, and home were charming, with lovely, mature landscaping, fields of grass, water view framed by trees, and a private little beach. The antique furniture, lace curtains, and multiple vases of fresh-picked flowers and greenery all added romantic touches. The master bed was very comfortable and Jennifer kindly customized the bedding to accommodate our feather allergy. Although the property is a compound with other cottages, the setting was extremely private both indoors and out, on account of the large lot, separate access, and screening of mature trees. The wi-fi was weak, so perhaps not the ideal location for working, but perfect for a romantic getaway!

We had a wonderful stay- the location is gorgeous and the condo was even better than the photos. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. A beautiful place to recharge.

One of the few times that the rental was SO much better than the pictures! Absolutely gorgeous place, lovely touches throughout and top of the line amenities. Outstanding place!

What a beautiful location! From early sunrise quiet times with coffee to sunset dinners on the patio, everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet, comfortable, thoughtfully- and well-appointed. I would, without hesitation, return for a future stay.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Enjoyed the privacy of the unit and the beauty of Pacific Shores Resort. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dishes and pots and pans. Heidi communicated well with good information.

Staying with Chelsea’s place was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean, and lots of activities to do. We are planning to go back next year. Highly recommended!

A beautiful place, right on the water. Loved that it had the balcony with the view of the water, we sat out and drank our morning coffee! Perfect for our little family, the heated pool with the view of the ocean was pretty fantastic. We definitely enjoyed just hanging out at the condo. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great location. Suite had all we needed. Thoughtful touches. Parking for second vehicle a bit confusing. Beautiful view, lovely grounds, very clean space. Would definitely stay again.

We had a truly unforgettable stay at this Airbnb — it’s an absolute gem! Waking up to a panoramic ocean view right from the bedroom was magical, especially on a sunny day when we could see the snow-capped peak of Mount Baker in the distance. Nature lovers will be thrilled — during our stay, we encountered two adorable deer, a group of wild rabbits, seals, Canada geese, and even an elegant egret. The home itself is spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed: washer, dryer, dishwasher, and a fully stocked kitchen. Falling asleep to the soothing sound of ocean waves at night was an experience we’ll treasure — truly the kind of peaceful luxury that makes a vacation special. Mason is a fantastic host — incredibly kind, attentive, and caring. It’s clear he puts a lot of heart into making guests feel welcome. All in all, this place was a rare find and a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

We had the most magical stay at Beach Garden Cottage. From the moment we arrived, the fresh flower bouquet on the table and the ocean view through the windows made it feel like we’d stepped into a postcard. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the sound of waves at night was pure bliss. The studio is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for cooking, and there’s a detailed binder full of recommendations—from local restaurants to hikes and lavender farms. Every little touch feels personal, and you can tell the hosts truly care. They were nearby and responsive if we needed anything. Waking up to sunrises and ending the day with wine in the garden just steps away from the ocean made this a perfect coastal escape. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and soak up the beauty of Sequim or looking for a place to stay when you want to explore Olympic National Park.

Carol’s place was AMAZING! The kitchen had everything needed to make meals for dining in, which we did a lot of because THAT VIEW!! We didn’t want to leave, just wanted to sit and watch for marine life. We saw seals, dolphins, eagles, and a family of 6 sea otters playing. When the evening started to cool we moved our binoculars to the hot tub to continue enjoying the views and serenity. My family agreed the beds were comfy and we all slept well. If you are looking for a go go go vacay Pender Island is not your place. If you want easy hikes in gorgeous surroundings, peace that reaches your very core, and super friendly people I definitely recommend Pender Island! The didc golf course has discs for public use and was really fun! Driftwood shopping center has all you will need. We recommend Sea Star Winery and a stop at Bee Wild distillery for tastings. We HIGHLY recommend Carol’s place!

Had a really nice stay. Very relaxing cottage feel with ocean views in peaceful area.

We stayed a couple of nights just after the May long weekend, so Mayne Island was really quiet (note: make sure to check when stores/restaurants are open if you are not planning on bringing or cooking your own meals). John's place was perfect for our needs, an easy walk down to the beachfront, and an easy walk to the bakery/grocery store that was near by. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking materials and utensils, which we utilized when making our meals! Note the bathroom is a separate cabin but it is right next to the cabin with the bedroom/living area/kitchen so we found that was perfectly fine. We would definitely stay again, as it was quiet peaceful and relaxing!

I stayed here before and decided to come again with other travelling companions. The location is beautiful. The home is a beautiful space with everything we needed, including a wonderful view. With the big windows, we could see robins building their nest under the home’s balcony while also being able to watch eagles flying by over the water. Sharon was responsive with texting even though she was away during our stay. There is a nearby small commercial space with two food trucks serving excellent food if you want a respite from cooking. We could either choose to eat there before driving out of the area for the day, or to stop off for dinner on our way back. I highly recommend Sharon’s place if you are looking for a rural oceanside getaway.

Jeanne's place is an ideal location for exploring Saltspring with a good proximity to Ganges. Stunning spot on the water with sunrises and sunsets. Quiet suite with enough basic needs for a longer stay. Darker window coverings would be ideal as the earlier sunrises hit. Some noise transfer with upstairs but hardly disruptive. Recommended.

A beautiful accommodation with an incomparable view of the sea.
