Waterfront holiday rentals in Cowichan Valley

What a gem of a property to stay at. The property is so well laid out and amenities are so close and convenient. The people at the resort were friendly and fun. The decor was so appealing and fit the vibe of the place so we'll. We enjoyed every second there. Thank you Cam & Carla!!

We loved our time at this condo and will definitely be back! The views and pool are amazing. It’s quiet, bright and well equipped and furnished.

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely perfect! The space was spotless, beautifully private, and had everything we could have asked for—from the stunning ocean view to the spacious, sheltered patio. There were so many cozy spots to relax, making it the perfect place to unwind. We even had some friendly kitties stop by to say hello! :) The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay special. They were kind, welcoming, and even lent us binoculars to watch the boats go by—such a thoughtful touch! We felt completely at home and can’t wait to come back. This place is truly a gem!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Had such an awesome stay, the room was tidy, modern and had everything we needed. We had such an awesome time out on the dock, wish we could have stayed longer. 10/10 would recommend this place

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

Lovely home. Sparkling clean. Excellent stocked kitchen. We all loved the espresso machine with beans provided. The heated deck and comfortable furniture was the best feature. We also loved the view and all the birds. The area around the house is not walkable though. It sits on a very busy road with no sidewalk. We couldn't walk our grandson around in his stroller. All in all a good home. Would book again. 😉

A beautiful setting that is a great place to relax with a few couples. It is roomy and has great gathering and relaxation spots inside and out. There lots of kitchen implements for cooking, tons of linen, and it’s very clean.

Beautiful and convenient location for our Victoria trip. Lake view and private dock was a bonus. We went during Thanksgiving so we appreciated the view and hot tub. Only complaint was the very limited cooking pans and pots

This was our second stay, and we enjoyed it as much as the first visit. The house is wonderful, and the view of the lake makes it so peaceful. The location is close to shopping areas and restaurants. We plan on returning next year.

Our hosts were very helpful. We arrived on the tale end of a big storm and power was out. Linda and Brian were very helpful in walking us through the process for getting the fireplace going. It turned out that the power. And back and forth hour after arrival and we had a wonderful weekend in this cozy cabin.

What a slice of heaven! It was even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights here (wishing it was longer) with our 18&21 year olds. There was plenty of space for us to gather as a fam or find a chill out spot alone. Allison and Sean were great with communication and giving advice for good hiking trails too! We would love to one day return!

Gorgeous spot and amazing view. Very isolated so if you are after quiet and tranquil beauty, this is the place for you. The bathroom was huge and the bed was super soft.

Great place to stay with a group of friends, even in the rainy winter season. The sauna was definitely a highlight, if you’re comfortable getting the wood stove going. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely return!

Liisa's place was perfect for a weekend getaway from Vancouver. The view was beautiful and the home was cozy. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful views from this condo. We enjoyed our stay- the condo was clean, comfortable beds, everything we needed to enjoy the beautiful location! Would book here again!

We’ve stayed at the Inn Of the Sea many time and been lucky to stay at both of Tammy’s condos. We come and go from the area all the time for work and it’s hard to go back to a hotel after discovering the condos.

Nice place. Great location Closet was small and furnishings were a bit out of scale and dated. Pillows were mis matched. Kitchen was clunky with no oven just a toaster oven. Noise from the garage door and cars coming and going was irritating. Kit drawer did not work, and drawer front was separated. Threshold to bath was splintered. Overall just needed some careful maintenance.

I absolutely recommend this location! Our last trip was the 6th time we’ve stayed at the Inn of the Sea, but our first time in this particular unit. As always, it was incredible! The host goes above and beyond with all the information you could need. The unit was gorgeous, clean, fully equipped, beautiful ocean views, and there are so many activities to enjoy! It’s family friendly and our toddler very much enjoyed the park and tons of toys, as well as exploring the beach! We all enjoyed going in the pool and hot tub, and exploring the near by walking trails! It’s really an exceptional place and we look forward to staying again soon!

The day of check in there was a snow storm. There was communication all day regarding the condition of the road. They managed to have all the snow cleared and sidewalk salted in time for a early check in. They also followed up to make sure everything was ok. The space has a beautiful view of the bay from the living areas and bedroom. The utilities are new and modern. Very comfortable and would defiantly recommended it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay outside of city limits.

Beautiful property. walking the beach, swimming at the pool, we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation were wonderful. (as described, spacious.) Hope to go again. Thank you Pat for the games and Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms ect.

wonderful home to stay in. Had everything and more that we could have needed. Perfect for our 6 month old who could roam freely throughout the house with no worry. We will definitely be booking again next year when we come back for our fishing trip.
