About this property

Charming walkout basement patio suite - ocean views.

You won’t want to leave this charming, one-of-a-kind walkout patio suite with ocean views.
Located in beautiful Cowichan Bay, this suite has its own entrance, bedroom, living room, bathroom. No kitchen, has a small fridge, hotplate, kettle, toaster, pot and dishes. The suite is not separate, but is joined by an open stairwell. Guests are not allowed upstairs to the owner's living area. A blow up mattress (surprisingly comfortable) is available on request for sleeping in the living room. Wonderfully cool. Walkout to a relaxing patio for your morning coffee. Access to the unit involves walking around the house from the driveway, downhill on the lawn to the patio entrance below. Not suitable for those with mobility issues. Wonderfully quiet yard for relaxing and enjoying the ocean breezes and views.
Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a refrigerator and an electric kettle.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Quaint Getaway!
Lovely location, easy walking to the marina, shops and restaurants. The property is tucked off the road so is quite quiet! The accommodation is cozy and quaint and was just as described - perfect for curling up on the loveseat (or recliner) reading a novel and enjoying the view! It has a lovely little fireplace heater for ambiance, too! (It was rainy and chilly for part of our trip so this was a bonus!) I discovered beautiful little walking paths throughout Cowichan and we had the added pleasure of listening to the sea lions in the Bay! I would love to return to this location - Sylvia is a very approachable and welcoming host!

Convenient to Cowichan Village
Nice little spot for visiting Cowichan Bay. Owner is still working on perfecting such items as access and parking. Currently a bit of a challenge for anyone with mobility issues or limited parking skills. It is the downstairs suite with private exterior entry- upstairs is occupied ( by the owner, we believe). She is lovely and we had no objection, but if you thought a VRBO was supposed to be “all yours”, that is apparently not completely accurate. Would recommend for a single/couple/couple with a small child.

This is a basic property, bar fridge, kettle hot plate. One bedroom and a bathroom with shower. Very quiet, excellent location. Walking distance to the main road and shops. I would recommend if you aren't looking for fancy, and don't mind that the upstairs owners suite isn't secured from basement suite. Sylvia was a good host for what we needed!

Our check in was very easy. The property owner contacted us previous to our arrival and met in person to go through the propertywith her. The suite was very clean and everything that was portrayed on line. The front patio and coffee in the AM with view of the bay was incredible. We would definitely recommend to all this is truly a hidden gem.
