Ocean Front Cowichan Bay Stilt House

Enjoy a quiet restful retreat on Cowichan Bay. Watch, sea birds, otters and seals from the living room or the large deck and 40 foot dock. If you like to cook take advantage of the Cowichan Valley’s bounty in the well-equipped semi-stocked kitchen. In the evening, watch the sunset or relax and enjoy your favorite program on the 50" TV and fall asleep in a comfortable foam top queen bed. The utterly charming fully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom ocean front cottage has everything you need. I greet all guests at my home to give them keys. I’m available to my guests by text and telephone while they are staying in my home. Six restaurants are with a five minute walk, including fine and causal dining, pubs, great seafood, as well as a liquor store, cheese shop and bakery. Kayak rentals, whale watching, and boat tours are also available year round and it is an easy five minute drive to grocery stores, excellent coffee and other amenities. A delightful 20 minute trip on the harbour ferry will take you to Genoa Bay for a change of scenery and more restaurants. Explore the Saturday farmers market in nearby Duncan or enjoy shopping in the historic town centre. Kayaking, hiking and cycling are within easy access for active visitors. Cowichan Bay is ideally located less than an hour south of Nanaimo and less than an hour north of Victoria. Also accessible by float plane from the lower mainland to Maple Bay just 20 minutes away by car. There is plenty of excellent cycling terrain in the Cowichan Valley. Local public transit is limited. I advise my guests who are coming to the island from the mainland to take a mid island ferry crossing to Nanaimo and to drive south to Cowichan Bay. There is parking directly in front of my house. Enjoy a quiet restful retreat on Cowichan Bay just steps from historic Cowichan Bay Village. Watch eagles, blue herons, kingfishers, sea birds, otters and seals from the comfort of your living room or the large deck and 40 foot dock. If you like to cook take advantage of the culinary delights of the Cowichan Valley with the well equipped semi stocked kitchen. In the evening, take in the entertainment at one of the six restaurants in the village, watch the sunset from your very own deck or relax and enjoy your favorite program on the 50" TV after the view fades.
