Cottage vacation rentals in Cowichan Bay

This was one of the best Air BnB’s I have stayed at. The cottage itself was more beautiful than in the photos. It had one of the best stocked kitchens I have had in an air bnb. Becky was lovely and very helpful and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and look forward to coming back myself.

Jacquie place was outstanding and matched the pictures and description. Her place was cozy and had all the items (kitchen ware, linens, etc.) that you would need to feel at home, as well as backups which is always nice. Her property was on many acres, with owls, ravens and her horses which made the experience even more memorable - the hot tub was also a wonderful way to start and end the days. She was an excellent communicator and it was a wonderful first time experience to Mayne Island.

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!

5 stars from me all around! It was an overall relaxing vacation for us. The view is the first thing noticeably unique about this airbnb. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Its even beautiful from inside the room. We enjoyed the massage chair, comfortable bed, tv, portable speaker, and the hot tub. I would recommend this airbnb and would love to visit again!

We had a truly wonderful stay at the house! Everything was just perfect. The home is beautifully set up with so much thought and care - you can tell that every detail was considered to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, which made cooking for our group so easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of bedrooms, and the layout worked perfectly for our group of 7 people - we all had enough space and felt right at home. The view and location are absolutely stunning. It’s a peaceful, scenic spot, yet close enough to everything we needed. The host was extremely kind and helpful, giving us all the information we needed and answering any questions quickly and kindly. We were so happy with our stay and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, well-equipped, and beautiful home away from home!

This place is such a hidden gem! Our stay was absolutely wonderful and both Hugh & Deb went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and had every amenity we could think of. We left there wanting to book our stay for the next time we return to the island. Honestly 10/10 doesn’t cut it.

We had a great stay! Grandkids swam in the pool most every evening, and it was great to have the beach so close! Accommodations were very clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils needed for preparing meals and grilling. The grands loved discovering the box of toys too!

Amazing spot. Extremely tranquil and relaxing. It was a nice pit stop / reset coming back from 2 days camping. Exactly what we needed. The place was clean and quiet and had plenty of style!

Really lovely stay! Jen gave us clear instructions when checking in and was responsive to my questions. All the rooms were well equipped with the amenities listed. Jen also provided supplies for smores and some mineral water for us! The only downside for us was that it was warm when we got there in June, but it did cool off quickly in the evening.

We had a very nice stay at the cabin. I enjoyed sitting out on the porch watching the boats in the evening twilight. It was also fun walking the peaceful beach at low tide. It was a great place to stay for a few nights while exploring Orcas Island.

Had an amazing time. Didn’t want to leave and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!

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.

Stunning scenery and beautifully decorated, this home was spectacular. I wish we could have stayed longer, we will definitely be back. Of special mention was the comfortable bed and pillows!

This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

Mark and his property were both amazing. The cottage itself was nestled away but still close to everything you would need. Mark was responsive and easy to communicate with during the entire stay. Will most definitely be back!

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!

This was one of my favourite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed! The photos do not do it justice. The cabin is beautiful and cozy. Our favourite part of this stay was the two border collies that followed us around we absolutely adored them. The skylight above the bed at night with the stars was unreal.

We spent part of our honeymoon here and enjoyed it a lot. Very peaceful, beautiful surroundings and nice and private. I would definitely recommend filling the fridge with snacks and food as most things close pretty early in the surrounding small towns but still a wonderful experience!

Overall a great place to stay in the Shawnigan Lake area. Lots of games, books and a well equipped kitchen. Awesome deck with sitting bar overlooking the river down below.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

We had a fantastic week's stay in Susanne's amazing cabin. The cabin is modern and well-appointed with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The setting is idyllic, on a large treed property with incredible views. We enjoyed being able to walk many places including the great access to the beach. Susanne was extremely accommodating and helpful - we highly recommend her cabin for a quiet, comfortable stay on Pender Island.

My sister and I had a lovely time staying at Bill and Ashley’s cottages. The cabin was the perfect little size, and equipped with everything we needed to cook lovely meals and enjoy a fun relaxing weekend. Big thanks to Bill for lending us a guitar capo when we realized we had forgotten ours! Say hi to Zoey and Louie for us, can’t wait to visit again :)

We had a lovey stay. The Sweetwater distillery of theirs 200m away was an excellent experience as well. Rooms were just like the photo and clean. Great spot for a getaway. Not walking distance to Ganges or too much, but car or bike make it easily accessible. Very private, quiet and a great place to make your own for a while. Thank you Fiona.

Flavia and jim have an amazing piece of land, and make you feel right at home. We were free to explore the property. Hardest decision was which part we to hang out at next as there are so many options! They were very kind and even invited us to watch the last flight of a WW2 bomber with them and their friends. The nest was a great little spot with beautiful views and was very clean. I would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone.
