Our stay at Coles Bay Vacation Resort was so amazing that we spent our last night there too since our flight plans got delayed.
We can't wait to go back, our "cottage" was like an apartment, it had everything you need to relax and cook a nice meal.
The breakfast Karey served was fresh and delicious.

What a nice residential part of Vancouver Island that’s just a short drive from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal. I’m a female solo traveler and I felt very safe. I slept well and felt taken care of by Karey. Breakfast was fantastic! Loved the waffles and fresh fruits. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic vacation rental!
Unfortunately my husband and I were only able to stay here for one night. If we go back to this area, we will definitely stay here again. The kitchen was well appointed, the owners remarkably friendly. The bed was so comfortable, my husband wants to buy a mattress just like we had at Coles Bay. The owners even had apples from their trees waiting for us in our room!
