Maple Bay beachfront suite, just steps to your private beach patio

Welcome to your private oceanfront retreat in Maple Bay, British Columbia.

This beautifully renovated 800 sq. ft. studio suite offers sweeping ocean views, exceptional comfort, and a peaceful setting just 22 steps from your own private patio. The entire suite has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom, including new drywall, upgraded sound insulation, fresh paint, new appliances, and elegant quartz kitchen countertops. A new custom live-edge kitchen bar table overlooks the ocean, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or a relaxed evening drink.

With over 100 feet of exclusive oceanfront and a two-level patio extending over the water, you’ll be immersed in the sights and sounds of the sea. Listen to gentle waves below, watch seals, otters, herons, and eagles drift through the bay, and—on rare, unforgettable days—spot orcas passing between Maple Bay and Salt Spring Island. Guests often mention how special it feels to wake up to the ocean, unwind on the waterfront patio, and even pick fresh fruit from the trees just outside the suite.

The south-facing suite features a luxurious queen-size sleigh bed with stunning ocean views, making sunrise a daily highlight. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge, stove, and bay window overlooking the water—so even cooking comes with a view. For comfort year-round, the suite offers a quiet heat pump for heating and cooling, along with a cozy cast-iron propane fireplace.

Additional amenities include a full bathroom, in-suite washer and dryer, high-quality bedding and towels, reliable internet, and 60" SMART flat-screen TV with cable and PVR. Step outside to your private deck with BBQ and take in the ocean air, whether you’re enjoying a relaxed afternoon or a peaceful evening under the stars.

Ideally located for exploring the Cowichan Valley, guests can enjoy nearby freshwater swimming at Shawnigan and Cowichan lakes, float the Cowichan or Koksilah rivers on warm summer days, or head to Cowichan Bay for whale watching tours, fishing charters, restaurants, and local shops. Whether you’re here to relax or explore, this oceanfront suite offers a memorable and restorative stay.

Rooms were well designed and very clean - everything available for preparing meals. Good idea to bring groceries as nearest stores are in Crofton or Duncan (not far). Hosts were readily available and respectful of privacy. Very peaceful, otters and ducks in bay fun to watch. Lots of hiking and around the corner from marina with a great pub. Would stay here again.

What a beautiful place to stay and relax.I was nervous about the steps down to the suite especially at night as I have mobility issues but it was ok. The paths and stairs are well lit at night. The large window inside gave us a great view of the water and Salt Spring Island.We had a lovely time and we wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

Beautiful seaside stay

Upon entering the guest suite area through the magical “secret garden,” you are in a secluded quiet place with the lapping of the ocean audible nearby. A well-appointed kitchen with all kinds of appliances made cooking easy and enjoyable. The availability of kayaks was such a huge bonus; it would have been hard bringing our own on this steep property. Would recommend if you need to relax and the accommodation itself is your destination!

We really enjoyed the stay at Maple Bay. The bay and surrounding mountains are beautiful, and we enjoyed watching the water and wildlife over coffee every morning. The hosts were very helpful with local recommendations for hikes, towns to visit, restaurants, and other activities. A peaceful and relaxing escape from the busy outside world! Thanks again!
