- "We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at “Taste The View”. It surpassed our expectations and Karen and John were wonderful hosts, very kind and thoughtful. Everything we could have imagined was stocked in the kitchen and lovely touches in every room. The Anniversary card, Prosecco, fresh loaf of bread, snacks and beautiful vase of Hydrangeas was an unexpected surprise and so greatly appreciated. When I mentioned I wasn’t able to grow any zucchini this year, one magically appeared for us from their garden. Thank you! This is our first VRBO stay and Karen and John have spoiled us as I don’t think we’ll ever be able to top this. We are looking forward to another stay at “Taste The View” in the future. Sharon and Ian"

Our worry free luxury cottage is our second dwelling on our main resident property and therefore is risk free of unexpected cancellations.
Here at the Sailors’ Rest our goal is to give our guests an experience to remember and tell their friends. This project and final product is a culmination of the artistic designs of one of the hosts that took a 2-car unfinished garage and repurposed it into what you see, using the Naval decor from your other host’s personal and family history of their father and his own service as Commanders in the Royal Canadian Navy. You will see various paraphernalia, pictures of Naval tradition and history throughout. While you are here don’t forget to sign the log book and tell us about your stay.

As our pampered guest you will have the luxury of being in your own private space, well equipped to fully enjoy your island getaway, private event, or celebration. The Sailors’ Rest is fitted with a nautical inspired fence, to give your crew and possibly furry friends, additional privacy. You will also have access to the gazebo and surrounding gardens and putting green through your garden gate. Please note that your furry companions will not have access to this shared space without you in attendance. If you are looking for someone to look after your furry friend for a period of your stay, we can connect you to our trusted pet sitting provider.

As your hosts, Mich and Michael, we are pleased to have you drop your anchor and spend some time sharing our little oasis. While we appreciate you choosing the Sailors’ Rest as your vacation destination unfortunately we will not always be on location. As ships pass we will wave hello and wish you an amazing stay. Of course if there is something you need please send us a message, we suggest using an app rather than a bottle;)

- "This stay was great from start to finish. The hosts were super helpful and welcoming. The whole property is amazing. The decor is an eclectic blend of collectibles from all over the world. The unit was clean, organized and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and there was a smart TV in both bedrooms and the living room, and bidets in both bathrooms. We had our own washer and dryer to use whenever we liked and the stove, oven, microwave and fridge were all clean and worked well. We didn't use the dry sauna but it was there if we wanted to. The hot tub was clean and the private deck has a fire table, BBQ and outdoor kitchen and overlooks the neighbour's pasture with beautiful views of deer and a horse. We had access to the huge back part of the property that was original forested land with trails that provided a place to take serene strolls and would be perfect for anyone who likes to meditate in nature. It was such a treat to hear the birds and see the squirrels around the unit. The hosts were always accessible and went out of their way to make sure every part of our stay was enjoyable. They are currently working on several projects around this huge property that are sure to make the setting even more beautiful in the future. This property and its hosts definitely earned the 5 star rating we gave it."

- "The home is as described and the hosts were very responsive. We had a great stay and would recommend to others." - "We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and cosy and the back deck and its views were everything!! It was a nice touch that the owners gave us a gift card for a delicious bakery nearby. Would definitely stay here again!" - "My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home overlooking stunning Cowichan Bay. We loved the many windows and open layout of the living area which maximized the view and natural light. We walked down to the restaurants and shops a few times, not a bad walk if you don't mind a rather steep hill. There was plenty to do nearby, and we especially enjoyed the kayak estuary tour. The only slight negative I have is that I was not expecting there to be a tenant in the basement, until the owner included that fact in the checkin information. The tenant was quiet and we only saw them once out the window, but I think that information should be disclosed prior to booking. That being said, the pros of this place were so high that we would still definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to be able to visit Cowichan Bay again!"

Come stay in Cowichan Bay a block above the village with great food, whale watching, kayaking and shopping. Enjoy a comfortable, recently renovated suite. Look at the ocean when cooking in the full kitchen. A private entrance, parking for three. Washer dryer in the bathroom. One bedroom with a double bed and a pullout queen bed in the living room so four plus a little one on the daybed can comfortably fit. Tucked at the end of a shared driveway, the house is quiet with beautiful nature.

The space
What I love about the property is that you can walk into the village in three minutes, yet we live on close to a half acre.

You can see the ocean and mountains from the suite plus are surrounded by flowers and trees. We are lucky to have a number of ancient Doug Firs on the property which are quite rare and special. The smell of woods and ocean is relaxing, reminding of summers well spent and cozy winters with the rain falling.

The suite is newly renovated with new appliances. It is very spacious with high ceilings. There is radiant heat so it is all encompassing warmth in winter. We are tucked on the end of a shared driveway, so very quiet. There are resident quail and hummingbirds.

A special new thing is the staircase at the end of Pritchard Road which winds down through a heron nesting area. Take a left at the end of the driveway and keep going until you hear and see the herons doing their thing. They ask for people to be quiet, given the Pacific Herons are endangered and this is one of the biggest nesting areas on Vancouver Island. You can do a nice loop from Pritchard, down the stairs, through the village and back up.

Guest access
You will have access to the whole suite and patio outside of the suite where the BBQ is. It has a private entrance with a lock code that is set for each guest.

There is an office beside the suite which is not in use when we have guests. Otherwise, nothing but the suite on the lower level of the house. My kids and I live upstairs but they are mostly out and about and we live a quiet life otherwise. Guests have commented it is quiet here and they sleep well so hope that is the case for you too!
