Clean and Relaxing
This was a wonderful place to stay. It had everything we needed and was incredibly clean. The location was close enough to anything we needed and several prime tourist destinations, but far enough away that it was silent at night. We loved watching the bunnies in the morning and the bats at dusk. The nearby beach was a delight. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking.

Pristine
Pristine cleanliness. Thoughtfully stocked with the extras you don’t think to bring on vacation. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. We loved coming back to the quiet, scenic neighborhood after a busy day and enjoying the beautiful view from the deck.

Quiet and serene
This is a beautiful location it's quiet and serene. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and having breakfast on the patio enjoying the beautiful view of the trees and surrounding nature. The accommodation had everything we needed and more, it was very clean. Kathy was very quick to respond to any questions we had and created a wonderful experience for us! We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back if we wanna stay in the area again!

Bright and Beautiful
Kathy, the host, is like a helpful ray of sunshine. The home is beautifully decorated, super clean, and a short walk from the shore. The kitchen is well appointed with equipment to cook well. The bed was comfortable. High ceilings and many windows make the space very bright. Would be a good winter get away!

A Cowichan Bay Gem
What a wonderful stay we had in this pristine home! You will find a beautifully decorated home with everything you need and more. Very quiet location, comfy beds, a short walk to the beach, and most importantly kind a caring hosts. :-). We arrived to the most delicious freshly baked cookies and a quick tour of the amenities. Our hosts even made sure that we knew about some of the biking hot spots and sent us some directions on where to go. So appreciated when you arrive somewhere new. We will be back! Thank you so very much, Leslie, Stacey, Christa and John.

Just pure paradise
My husband, sister and I came to Vancouver Island looking for a place to retire to… Cowichen Bay is a slice of paradise and our stay with Kathy and Gary was perfect… from the homemade muffins to beautiful coastline. The neighborhood and neighbors could not have been nicer or more welcoming. This just might be our new home… at any rate, we will be back for another stay at the cottage… better than any 5 star hotel we’ve ever been to. Thank you soooooo much to Kathy and Gary for their hospitality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea and Cedars. The hosts are thoughtful and have truly thought of everything. The unit is beautiful and clean and, best of all, a short walk gets you on the beach. It was a perfect spot for us.

Wonderful!
Apart from the fact that the hosts were the nicest and most caring I have ever met, the apartment is a dream. Flooded with light, perfectly and lovingly equipped and very clean. The location is wonderful: quiet and close to nature, right by the sea and forest, and at the same time close enough to reach, for example, Victoria or other destinations easily by car. I have found nothing like this nearby.
