We absolutely loved Sailors Rest, the owners were very nice and friendly and the location was perfect! Definitely would recommend. Thank you for a wonderful time!
We were in the area for some exploring and a regatta. Honestly, the space was awesome, all the amenities were there. Mich, we loved all of the Naval memorabilia. The beds were super comfy. The location was spot on. thanks so much. we hope to stay there again.
The cottage was everything we hoped it would be. Very safe location. Super clean, very cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Great central location for so many things. The pub down by the water had a beautiful view and delicious food. We loved everything about our stay at Sailors Rest and we will definitely be back. Host was very good at communication and we had zero issues about anything!!!!10/10!!!!!!
Lovely cottage, very comfortable, has everything anyone needs, cozy. Good location, close to the main town. Central if anyone wants to go to Victoria or Nanaimo. Good communication with owner. Fabulous place, highly recommended.
Amazing cute place! From the outside it looks small, however it's so spacious inside with the two bedrooms, we loved the space in the bathrooms too, very clean, and the Hot tub was a plus! Will absolutely be coming back. Thank you for your hospitality Mich.
We really enjoyed staying the Sailor's Rest. It was comfortable and full of interesting memorabilia. The host was very easy to work with and gave us helpful information about the area.
We enjoyed the outlay of this little abode so much.
The only thing we didn’t know was to bring our own hand soaps for the bathrooms.
We had a great time and would consider booking again.
Thanks so very much.
We loved the location and the nautical theme. Super clean and comfortable and everything you need for a relaxing break from the stresses of the world. Definitely will come again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Would have liked to enjoy the beautiful outdoor area
The accomodation was very clean and had everything you would need. The hot tub was full of leaf litter and so was the trampoline but the kids were expected to take off their shoes. After coming back in after 2 mins with slivers they didnt use it again. The owners also had dogs running around barking at us which was obviously a big deterrent for using the fire pit or play area. Both of my kids were quite disappointed. If you don't plan on using those amenities the rest of the place was great.
Wonderful spot. Great location to all amenities like hikes, restaurants, dog park, etc...The hot tub was super, especially after a long hike. Wish the location had more comfortable seating outside and a sunny location. I would recommend this for sure
Just amazing! The unit has everything you need to escape and your host is just phenomenal.
We liked it so much that we rebook for another grt away less than 24 hrs after with check out
For a visit to Vancouver Island, this is the perfect location!!!! Amenities are excellent, grille, hot tub, full kitchen all in perfect working order. Communication with the owner was exceptional, JUST A WONDERFUL STAY!!!
You are in the middle of VIs wine country, so kind of like an idyllic farm setting. Nanaimo and Victoria are only about 1/2 hour away, we went down several times to sit in the Victoria Harbor and took MULTIPLE ferries from Nanaimo.
REALLY could not recommend this place more - very nice!!!!
The Sailors Rest was the best VRBO we have stayed in! It was created with love and the history of the family who owns the property ! Every single detail was well thought out and very special ! The humans and dog were equally cared for and this place truly felt like home! The decor, beds, pillows, bedding, kitchen setup and fenced yard were perfect for our family! The yard is stunning and the hot tub was welcomed!!! We will definitely be back ! Mich was an attentive and amazing host and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay!
What an incredible gem. Our family found Sailor's Rest to be just right in terms of size, location and amenities. The house makes great use of space, is beautifully decorated, and really does have everything one might need.
In addition to all the standard amenities and well stocked kitchen, we really enjoyed the numerous special touches, including games, art, books, and some real Canadian naval history.
We found the house spotlessly clean, and also took advantage of the wonderfully landscaped yard and gazebo (and hot tub!)
The host and his amazing family went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and provided lots of info on local activities.
Three days in the area didn't really put a dent in everything Cowichan Valley has to offer, so we truly hope we get a chance to return.
Thanks Mich!
