This was our second stay this year at this property (the first was in February), and we returned because it was a perfect couple’s retreat, in terms of layout, space, amenities, yadda yadda. The location was awesome for our day trips to Cowichan, Nanoose Bay for golf, and Tofino.

Our stay at The Cozy Visit Nest was amazing!!! We can't say enough great things! The hosts provided a beautifully decorated, modern setting in pristine condition. It included absolutely anything we could even dream of needing on our vacation. The location was ideal with a couple of beaches within walking distance and a short drive to local amenities. An absolute gem of a find!!!

I had the most wonderful stay and wish I could have stayed longer! I was welcomed with a card and fresh strawberries from Cheri and Duncan. They were so kind and easy to get a hold of if I needed something. The place was spotless and just as the pictures looked. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

We couldn’t have been happier, the place was beautiful. It was like living in a show home. Cherie and Duncan were great hosts. Answered any questions we had within minutes. They provided great information about local spots of interest. As well as many further away spots. If we come back to this area we would definitely consider staying at the Nest.

What a fabulous little gem!

We have stayed at several different VRBO locations in Canada and Europe. This was one of the most notable for its cleanliness, modern decor, comfortable bed/pillows, well stocked kitchen, quiet and location! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

This was our first trip to the island, and we did not want to stay in a hotel in an urban area. We were happy to find this property in Lantzville, which was accessible to main routes, but far enough away that you felt the serenity of being in a small town. Our hosts provided a fantastic private suite, which was akin to living in a modern one bedroom condo with all amenities. It was tastefully decorated, and had all the comforts of home. An added bonus is that there are local establishments within a ten minute walk, as is the coastal shore. It was an excellent base as we set off in multiple directions to explore Vancouver Island on various day trips!
