A VRBO Postcard w/ exceptional host
We arrived and walked into a Canadian postcard. The property is EXACTLY as described - only the setting is even more beautiful. Birds, boats, seals, sea critters, the sun rises and sets on this spot. The "boathouse" conversion was carefully undertaken - with clean, neutral finishes and well-laid out, fits naturally into the setting. Private, quiet - even though there is another house on the property. Great bed and linens. Check out local restaurants, hike and day trip options. ....Our host, Ronda, was exceptional - clear, timely communications before, during, and after our stay - event patient + prompt when we had to follow up on a silly item we left behind. : / We will dream of our next visit. (Be sure not to miss the steam shower! )

So much in a small but perfect space!
Check in was a breeze and the boathouse was super cozy and was just the right space for 2 and pets. We had beautiful (but hot) weather and we did find it a bit warm in the early evening, but with the doors open with the screen in place there was a nice breeze. Was wonderful sitting with our morning coffee looking out over the serene setting, taking note of herons, otters, fish, and even some humans lol. For activities we went on a couple of nice hikes, took our SUPs out with our doggies, and visited a local pub for my birthday dinner - all in all there's lots to do and the location didn't disappoint. We would definitely come back!

Resting in the Beauty
Our stay here was so restful, just sitting in the Adirondack chairs and looking out on the water was the best. The place is small, but thoughtfully designed so that it does not feel cramped. We greatly enjoyed the whole community including several nearby pubs. We also did a little hiking. The whole place was just what our harried souls needed.

Relaxing stay on the water
I would highly recommend this accommodation. The location is beautiful and relaxing and we enjoyed the dock and kayaks. It was nice a clean. A friendly heads up that although this comes up as a Salt Spring Island listing when you search, it is on Vancouver Island. My mistake that I didn't investigate further but ideally it wouldn't show up there.

Worth every single penny
What an amazing place! Can't praise this slice of heaven enough. Just the view makes the whole experience worthwhile, but the fact that I found in the mini fridge all the necessity for many mimosas and homemade scones was the icing on top. If you come during summer time, I would say bring a little fan(which I did) as it gets pretty toasty in there. The bed is sooo comfortable and the wildlife makes the whole experience so much more magical. I felt like snow white the entire trip, treasure hunting every morning on low tide. Really, I can't recommend this place enough. Will definitely come back.

Maple Bay sweet as Maple syrup
Stayed 3 nights... cozy beachhouse right on the water. You can hear the tide coming in at night. Spectacular views day and night, interesting boat and bird sightings... Close to the best restaurants in town, which were all marina pubs along the shore drive. Maple Bay is close to many winery tours and excellent hiking ( be sure to walk the Stony Hill Trail near Geneva Bay). Saturday Farmers Market in summer outstanding for the variety of food, merchandise and live music. In July, a famous folk festival held there as well. !0 minute drive away. Also very close to hippy haven Salt Spring Island, a 20 minute ferry ride. The beach house is also equipped with kayaks, if you are feeling sea worthy. You can do all of these things, or just stay on the deck all day, get a tan and drink up the seascape, the ambiance, Like we said the wine ( beer). Ours was a romantic anniversary weekend, and this resort was as sweet as maple syrup ( 100% pure Canadian).

Amazing views. This little converted boathouse offers a quiet and comfortable world class view of beautiful Maple Bay. Enjoyed watching otters, great blue herons and belted kingfishers. There are 3 restaurants on the bay and all are reasonably close. We were disappointed that although the sheets and pillow cases were clean, they were covered with stains.

An absolute gem
The “boat house” is so comfortable, clean and inviting and has everything you’ll need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The space is surrounded by the bluest skies, glistening water, a rocky shoreline, framed by the vistas of territorial island, ALL with cool crisp water lapping up at the rocky shoreline immediately below. Don’t miss the opportunity for a swim! Views from every window, your bed, and the deck. You won’t want to leave ;-) PS Be sure to check out the Cowichan wineries, and the mural in Chemainus. .

Amazing Location
We had a fantastic stay at the Boathouse, and are very grateful to our hosts for allowing us to enjoy their gorgeous property. It is truly paradise! The views from the bed are stunning; our most enjoyed moments were relaxing on the deck, watching sea lions, herons, sail boats, and float planes passing by. We stayed for 3 nights and the bnb had everything we needed and more. The steam shower was a lovely bonus, the barbecue was great for meals, and we are so appreciative of it being pet-friendly, there were even doggy dishes set out for us. We had a great time, and would love to come back next year!

Excellent location, very uncomfortable bed
It was wonderful to wake up to amazing water views. Owner was very very prompt in giving information and suggestions. They left us sweet treats and champagne. Providing deck towels, extra blankets etc. was very thoughtful. However, the one big thing that spoilt our experience was that the queen size bed was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on and we could barely get any sleep on it.

Loved our stay at the boathouse with unbeatable views. Slept with the patio door open so we could hear the waves lapping in and could watch the full moon shimmering on the water from the bed. Next time in cooler weather will try out the steam shower. Being greeted by their adorable dog Bruce everyday was a bonus. Highly recommend!

Spectacular Bay
The property is easily accessed and overlooks an absolutely beautiful bay. There is great hiking walking distance from the property. The bed was quite comfortable. The bbq was in perfect working order and the dishes available were nice quality. The only awkwardness was cleaning the dishes as other than the bathroom there is no running water. The steam shower was a nice experience and access to the ocean was easy. Overall, it was an exceptional stay. Quiet with beautiful views!

Spectacular view, comfortable cottage
The view from the deck (and the bed) cannot be beaten. The cottage itself is crisp and clean with nice stylish touches. I don't understand the complaints about the soft bed - it was heavenly! We were there during an extreme heat weather warning and the deck was too hot to enjoy coffee even in the early morning but it was lovely by about 4:30. We just spent the day in shady places and it was fine. We enjoyed nearby restaurants, (Shipyard, Genoa Cafe, Scottish pub) but none of them have views like the boathouse! We couldn't stop taking pictures. Loved this place!

gorgeous views
If you are looking for overnight or maybe two nights in a beautiful location we can highly recommend the boat house. We booked for five nights and while we knew that there were very limited catering facilities, we were rather disappointed by the state of the gas bbq which was old, in need of maintenance and definitely in need of cleaning. In fact we were obliged to ask for cleaning utensils prior to being able to cook with it. It was also situated in an unremarkable, rough piece of ground which did not endear us to the situation. Perhaps there could be some paving installed around and in front of the bbq. We also had issues with the bathroom door which self-locked. On three occasions we were unable to gain access to the toilet/bathing facility. On two occasions the owner had to be summoned to assist. The final time occurred in the very early hours of the morning and we could not summon help until 8 am. The shower was superb! The views from the bedroom and from the front decking were superb! It would have been nice if we had been offered an apology for the difficulties mentioned above.

We had a wonderful stay at the Maple Bay Cottage. Wonderful views from every part of the cozy boathouse. Easy check in and good communication. We loved that there was a kettle, coffee maker and toaster so we could do a light breakfast before we went off for the day. Just missing a place to do dishes - I felt bad leaving them when we checked out. Overall a wonderful stay for my husband and I.

Not our ‘cup of tea’
The Boathouse is a higher end ‘hotel room’. It is on the property of the homeowners so being mindful of their space was important to us. They were fine about having our well behaved dog, but again we made sure he didn’t intrude. Had a ‘glitch’ on communication. Email was sent 2 days before with the address but no other details. Emailed our eta and didn’t receive a response. Arrived and no one was home and the boathouse was locked up. After an hour I figured out the hosts tel# which she thankfully answered right away and gave us the code to get in. Down the hill to the boathouse was a bit tough for us old people. Going back up even harder. 100%+ on cleanliness. The bed was way more than too soft, and I like a soft bed. Hubby and I ended up sleeping head at footboard and foot at headboard which helped a bit. The chairs on the deck are those cheap uncomfortable plastic ones. Not at all in keeping with the higher end finishes elsewhere. Did I say uncomfortable?!! Nice presentation with the chocolates on the pillows and the wine and cheese as a welcome. Though this wasn’t a great fit for us, others I’m sure will appreciate it. The View!!

Wow!!
Such a beautiful place to stay for a few days. The host is lovely and has the most beautiful property and gardens. There were wine and snacks provided. It feels like you're waking up on the water each morning. The sound of waves lapping at the shore lulls you to sleep. We took the kayaks out for a paddle at sunset one evening and it was so relaxing. We saw heron and seal every night! This place was perfect for us and we'll represented on VRBO. Some things of note: morning sun is bright! There are sleep masks thoughtfully provided to help you sleep past sunrise. No food prep/kitchen but there is a grill and mini fridge. A cabinet is well stocked with dishes. We got on just fine with some planning! Also, Bruce the dog deserves his own review. He is the nicest most wiggly VRBO dog and greeted us every time we can back. He walked us to the cabin door each evening. Stay here-- you won't regret it!

Breathtaking view in a cozy boathouse for two.
The perfect place to restore and enjoy the solitude of the ocean. Walking down the beautiful rocky path to the boathouse was easy for us (we are active and fit). Use of the kayaks in the early morning calm waters was a wonderful treat where we saw all kinds of sea life. We are headed to a wedding so heads up to those that could use a few - there are no hangers or closets in this cozy boathouse with memorable panoramic views of the ocean. We took note of a few previous comments about the soft bed. It is in fact very soft, allowing us to sink inches into it. A firm bed-lover ourselves, we somehow woke up feeling rejuvenated and ready for more exploring without any achy setbacks! The boathouse offers a bar-fridge and some dishes for prepping a snack or simple breakfast which worked perfectly for us. The welcome package was beyond impressive. The steam-shower was a nice treat. The deck and view will blow your mind. I hope I never forget this visual experience. SO very quiet and serene. Our host, Ronda, recommended we go to Genoa Bay Café for dinner and lucky us, another couple had just cancelled their reservation so we were able to go, WOW, another wonderful and unforgettable culinary experience set in the neatest marina. Overall, I highly recommend the boathouse stay as a bucket-list item.

I honestly could not imagine anything so beautiful, that when I saw it, tears welled up in my eyes as I thanked the good Lord for this serenity and majesty. The picturesque views from all the windows, sliding glass doors and deck were inspiring. We enjoyed the kayaks and hammocks and relaxed each night in the steam shower. Rhonda surprised us with a bottle of Pinot Nior, cheeses, olives, crackers and sausages, which made a lovely lunch. The next day Rhonda was quick to respond to our text, bringing us what we needed, even two yoga mats. My favotite thing was making fresh coffee in the little coffee maker each morning, add the sweet cream she had in our mini-fridge and sit out on the deck, breathing in the fresh air. I hope everyone I love could come here. I miss it already. Rosie

From the vantage point of the Boathouse, we were able to see seals, sea otters, belted kingfishers, hummingbirds, eagles, family of Canada Geese, herons…not to mention the ever changing sky and water..including a full rainbow on our last evening! (I was glad I brought binoculars). Thank you Ronda and Tim for the treats! Owners very keen to help in any way possible. But also felt we had our privacy.
