Further details for this vacation house rental in Mill Bay, British Columbia

Art and Gardens:: ---Carolyn is a professional artist and you will enjoy her paintings in the studio loft and throughout the house. The gardens and grounds that surround the house will add to your outdoor pleasure and of course there is always the gentle lapping of waves on the beach. We have several returning guests who enjoy 'Seagate' as their special vacation get-away and a great pleasure for us is making new friends through email and sometimes in person. Because of the care from past guests, we no longer ask for a damage deposit. We regard our guests as 'family'. The entire house and grounds are yours to enjoy in privacy.

The Ocean: --We are located on a bay that is protected by Saltspring Island. Often there are canoe and sailboat races in the bay and during the summer we keep our own sailboat in front of the the house. It is not unusual to see eagles, herons, and other birds. On occasion, we have had orca whales in the bay. At night we often enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub overlooking the ocean. We are in a very safe, quiet location with no through traffic. At night you will most likely only hear the lapping of waves or the call of a loon.

Vineyards: --We are located in the prime wine producing area of Vancouver Island with many vineyards just a short drive away and one of the best is just a lovely 15 minute walk from the house. If you enjoy wine, try a tasting tour of the wineries. Information will be in the house. The quaint fishing village of Cowichan Bay is only a 10 minute drive away with what our guests describe as some of the best bread and ice cream available-- and of course, seafood. Great to stroll on the docks to inspect the boats!

Heavenly Retreat

DeerParkTraveler Deer Park, TX
Review Submitted: December 18, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
My family's stay at this house was a dream come true. We enjoyed the large rooms, the fantastic decks, the hot tub, the view and the visits from the bald eagle. The house and property far exceeded our expectations. The online pictures and descriptions do not do the house justice. We particularly enjoyed the welcome bottle of wine. The instructions left by the home owners were well written and easy to understand. I would recommend this property to anyone, and would be more than happy to return for another visit.
Owner's Response: Thanks for your kind review. We like to think of our guests as "family" and have enjoyed meeting several visitors and making new friends. It is always a pleasure to share our home and to read the comments in our guestbook. Happy travels! --Denis and Carolyn.

Spectacular Home!

Ginny Savage Alamo, California
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My husband, son, his friend and I spent a week at this wonderful home. The house was very, very clean and quite comfortable. The owners take fantastic care of this house. The view from the home is spectacular! The grounds are covered with amazing flowers. The kitchen is stocked with many more amenities than any other rental we've ever had the good fortune of renting. The wireless internet was very convenient. We enjoyed the hot tub a few nights. The home is very close to wineries! Upon entering the house, we felt like we were home! Thanks Carolyn and Dennis!

Lovely Get-Away

Texas Admirer Carrollton, Texas, USA
Review Submitted: August 8, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I loved waking up each morning to the sounds and sights of the ocean. The forest, mountains, and ocean view are magnificent. Sunrise breakfast on the terrace became our ritual as well as looking out for the soaring eagle and baby quail chicks with their momma that scavenged the area for food. One morning we were fortunate to witness the sailboats racing from the balcony of this house; this was truly a magnificent sight. The house and property are meticulously maintained. Each room looks out to the ocean and inside the house are lovely displays of artwork as well as Carolyn’s own personal paintings. I felt like Robinson Crusoe in his tree house! Smelling the jasmine as I entered and left the house each day was bonus, as well as the profuse blooming of roses, daisies, petunias, pansies, etc. that lace the house with their fragrances too. The location is excellent for visiting numerous places on the island; nothing is more than an hour drive away. I highly recommend this home with its beautiful setting. I hope to come back here again.
