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.

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

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!

This is a fantastic getaway! Just when you think Michael and Mich have thought of everything, you find out that they thought of even more! Little touches you didn't know you needed, but certainly appreciated (like a rubber ducky for the tub!)! Our highlight was how welcome our dog was! We have been fortunate to stay in several pet friendly accommodations but the Sailors Rest went above and beyond! Our dog was welcome to share the "Pet Friendly Linens" so we could still cuddle. Many rentals allow pets but with rules and guidelines about them not being on couches, beds, etc. Being completely pet friendly was wonderful! And so close to the dog park and hiking trails! We could have spent our entire time just looking through all the Naval memorabilia within the cabin. Such a personal touch! Cannot say enough about this place and we certainly will be returning guests. Thank you so very much!

Our family had a fantastic stay at the sailors retreat. Arriving very late our first day. The hosts were extremely accomodating and we were able to get into THE vacation home without a hitch. Welcomed with such a lovely, very clean space including it being puppy proofed so that they could have an amazing stay as well. So many interesting items to see in this sailors delight and filled with everything you may need, even a rice cooker. We were so very appreciative of the information provided for what to do and see in this georgeous area. We visited the local wineries, the local fish market, antique barn, and travelled to nanaimo, comox/courtney and many beaches even one with black sand nearby. There are many good hiking trails and waterfalls to see in the area and if you miss the city you are only an hour from nanaimo and an hour from victoria. Feeling sore from all the hiking you can come back and have a soak in the hot tub enjoying the view of the tranquil yard. There is a dog park, pickle ball, walking trails and tennis courts almost next door. We made use of it all since the home was also equipped with equipment to play. Taught my kids how to play, was awesome. All i can say is that you wont be dissappiinted and it far exceeded what i expected.

We were in the area for a wedding so location was exceptional for our purposes. During the time we did stay on the property we had access to a beautiful yard, play centre and trampoline for the baby. Hot tub was a great way to wind down at the end of the day. Cabin was well stocked with cooking materials. Hosts were friendly and welcoming.

We had a wonderful 30 day stay at The Sailors Rest. Well equipped home away from home. Paloma the dog loved the walk through the forest to the close by off leash park where she made lots of friends. The hot tub was well maintained and was a lovely end to the days after exploring Duncan and the Cowichan area.
