Near the Ocean/Self Check-in/Out/Wifi/High Cleaning Standards

In the heart of James Bay only steps to the ocean and Ogden Point, with Victoria's breakwater, rests this petite piece of local history. This rejuvenated and cozy nest has a heritage touch, a cute garden. All within walking distance to all that downtown Victoria has to offer. Enjoy restaurants, shopping, Royal British Columbia Museum, a walk along the Inner Harbour and maybe enjoy some ice cream at the Beacon Hill Drive In.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I, along with our small dog, were delighted make the Cosy Cottage our temporary home for an extended stay this summer. Accomodation can make such a difference in your overall experience of a place. I'm happy to tell you that we had a marvellous time! Great location, well equipped and exactly as advertised. Highly recommend! Sharon, John and Bella

Superb Location!

Emily Carr's Cozy Cottage was delightful and the location, in the heart of James Bay, was ideal. Just a half block off of Dallas Road we could walk for miles along the paths next to the ocean. There are several access points for going down to the beach as well. There is only on street parking but we were always able to park right in front of the cottage. It was an easy walk to the inner harbor and downtown Victoria. The cottage is 3 blocks from the James Bay Thriftys (nice grocery store). The house itself is charming. It is tiny and the closet space very minimal but adeuquate for a holiday. The kitchen is lovely and well equipped. The bed was comfortable but note that it is right up against 3 walls with no possibility of being moved out. I had to crawl out across my husband to get out of bed if he was still in it. The yard is fenced with a BBQ out back. We would definitely recommend this cute cottage!
