We settled on Cowichan Bay and were extremely happy with the location, and the cute accommodations were perfect. Walkable to parks, restaurants, bakery, shops and an easy drive to wineries, more restaurants and shopping and various artisans and farm stands. We were super happy with the cottage setup and all the attention to details that gave us many choices if we stayed in (games, well stocked kitchen, cozy fireplace and throws and more). It has stunning views and was super clean and thoughtfully planned and decorated. We will be back! ##### Illoana S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikel Anne A. Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An Absolutely Perfect Property We've been coming up to the Mill Bay/Cow Bay/Duncan area for almost 20 years. Over those years we've outlasted two B&Bs (they retired) and stayed at various rental properties. We FINALLY found the perfect place for our future stays. The location of the cottage cannot be beat. It's right in Cow Bay. The cottage itself is amazing. It's very well appointed, extremely clean, and just plain CUTE. You'll find everything you need there. The views off the deck are simply beyond. I found myself not wanting to go anywhere - I just wanted to sit on that deck and look at the Bay and take pictures. As we were staying there, I was already planning to reserve the cottage again for next year and we even decided to add an additional day to our annual Vancouver Island stay! We reached out to Danielle, the host, twice. She was extremely quick with communication back to us and so very helpful - kindest host we've ever had! ##### Mikel Anne A.

We just had the most amazing time staying at "Cowwibean!". Absolutely spotless! Bedrooms and bathrooms are stunning. Beds were very comfortable and bed linen excellent! Kitchen had everything we needed and also spotless! Lounge area very comfortable, lovely fire and fireplace. The views!!!!!! Oh the views from every window were just breath taking! The little suite that is also rented out has access to the dock, which means they have to come across the deck, I think the ad needs to make this clearer. We were not aware of this and specifically had booked a house that we wouldn't have to share anything with. But, if you are ok with that, then this is the very best place to stay in! We all absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave. It was wonderful being right in Cowichan Bay with the shops, bakery and restaurants all within walking distance. I would definitely come stay again! ##### Franki B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Z.
