About this house rental

Welcome to The North Shore Haven & North Shore Nest
A Lakefront Retreat with a Sauna, Hot Tub & Private Beach Access

Step into the crown jewel of North Shore Haven—a stunning two-level retreat that seamlessly combines two suites into one luxurious lakefront escape. Perfect for large families or groups, this newly built home offers elevated comfort, scenic views, and thoughtful amenities throughout.

With five beautifully appointed bedrooms—three on the main floor and two downstairs, featuring a mix of King and Queen beds, plus sleeper sectionals in both the entertainment room and downstairs living room, there’s ample space for everyone to relax in style. Each bedroom is stocked with fresh linens and towels for your comfort.

Outside, unwind in your private oasis. Just steps away, a quiet private beach along Lake Cowichan awaits. Back at the house, enjoy a soak in the hot tub, a serene session in the cedar sauna overlooking the lake, or gather on the covered patio with an outdoor fireplace and TV to take in the sunset.

When it’s time to come indoors, the lower-level rec room offers hours of entertainment with air hockey, a big-screen TV, and a variety of board games—making it a true all-seasons destination.

Whether you’re here to relax, reconnect, or celebrate something special, The North Shore Haven & North Shore Nest offers an unforgettable lakeside experience—our grandest and most complete suite.

    Overall, the property itself is spacious and nice. The location is great because the lake is down the road. We were with our families and kids and didn't feel cramped. But I do have a few things to note. The communication response time isn't within a timely manner which it should be since they say to msg them if we need anything. The main thing they missed on the listing is that they rent out the main level, which includes the grassy area, to other guests. Therefore, the sauna is also shared, so be aware. It is not specifically pointed out in the listing, and my kids were told to leave by someone when they were hanging out in the grass area, but the listing doesn't mention it's excluded. I did not like this at all, and my concern was not addressed. She said on the listing it says the sauna is for all guests which doesn't really mean anything. There was also loud construction every morning which disturbed our sleep. And there was some "plumbing issue" that came up on their sensor and we were told to not use any water for almost 2 hours on the last night of our stay which was pretty inconvenient when you are travelling with 6 kids. And the bbq stopped working the 2nd day. (but no answer when I msged about it)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing house. We all slept so well and loved the fact that the beach was in walking distance. We rented jet skis and had a blast with that as well. The hot tub was wonderful after a swim in the lake. Overall just a beautiful spot!

    Worked great for small family reunion. Used dishes and appliances from lower suite as at times we were a fairly large group. (6 months to 95)

    The view and house itself were lovely, and overall we had a lot of fun as a family, but for the $1700CAD/night, we were shocked that all the sheets were polyester and some of the kitchen utensils were falling apart. Pretty disappointing. We all had restless sleeps because of the low quality sheets, especially downstairs where there is/was no air conditioning. Most of the mattresses drooped in the middle as well.

    Our host was fantastic! She went above and beyond our expectations :) Beautiful home and lovely private beach. Be sure to ask where the basketball court is for a friendly game :)

    This house felt brand new, was super clean, and in a new community. We loved having two kitchens for each family that was in our group. They had everything we needed to cook meals. Kids loved the play room. Great view of the lake and beach access close by. Lower level could use some fans since there are no AC vents. But wasn’t much of an issue due to the colder temperatures down there. Upstairs AC worked great.
