Boathouse on Maple Bay

Right over the water with stunning uninterrupted views of Maple Bay, Saltspring Island, and Birds Eye Cove Marina. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck, watch the moon rise over Saltspring Island, or bundle up for storm watching and then a steam shower. Bring your boat! Dock space is available.

There are 2 kayaks available for use but shared with us. Ask about the “kayak pub crawl”.

There is a BBQ outside the cabin but no indoor cooking facilities. There is a small fridge, coffee maker, and kettle.

Absolutely Magical
Our first stay on this part of Vancouver Island and Maple Bay is truly a hidden gem. The Boathouse was perfect and photos did not do it justice. The view is spectacular and our host was attentive but not intrusive. 100% a recommend. You won’t regret it.

A piece of paradise
This property was incredible. The peace and serenity you will feel there is priceless. The ocean view was spectacular. Whether you sat on the deck or had your coffee in bed you’d be hard pressed to find a better view. I will definitely stay there again!

The most perfect honeymoon spot
We absolutely fell in love with the area but most importantly the boat house. Theres nothing like waking up to the sounds of waves right outside your door and walking out onto the deck right on the water. It felt like a truly magical place. It made our honeymoon that much more special

Beautiful property, great stay. We had the owners dog walk us down to the room every time we came back in the car. Room is nice but gets quite warm. There is a ceiling fan and you can also open the door to great more breeze. We would definitely stay again. View and the sound of the water what makes this a 5 star stay. Thank you

iI want to go back!!!
Simply beautiful property.... everything I needed to relax, but I wish we had more time there. Two nights was not long enough. Travel tips: buy your wine before you arrive so you don't have to drive back into town, Restaurants close early around these parts... call before you go! Genoa Bay Cafe was a lovely patio and great food!

Wonderful place in wonderful setting
Absolutely lovely! I’m not sure if it is possible to sleep closer to the oven without getting wet. The boathouse is nicely appointed for a short stay. Lots of wildlife to view from the deck with great sunrises and moon rises. I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous Views
We loved the views. twas wonderful to sit on the deck in the evening with a glass of wine. Also used the kayak; thanks for that. Also having morning coffee watching the seaplane land and take-off was brilliant.

A little getaway
we very much enjoyed the view. Waking up with the sunshine and the sound of the water was awesome. The bed was very comfortable. The wi-fi works great A suggestion would be to let people know how the shower works, that you have to wait for hot water, that hot water is limited, that there is a steep walk way towards the boat house, that they have to do some groceries before arriving. And a welcome basket with little soaps/shampoo/snack/extra roll of toilet paper, can be a nice touch for guests who come for a few days only.

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.

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!
