Beautiful home and lake front property

We loved everything about this vacation home. The house is newly renovated and felt very welcoming and cozy. Everything we needed was provided and everything was very clean. Our most favorite part was the lake view from the house and the beautiful garden. Our kids enjoyed the open space for playing. The house comes with a boathouse and a large dock. We spend many l hours fishing. Hopefully we can come back one day.

Step into happiness

Every winter I find a place to escape the Alberta winter for a month. I had never heard of Shawnigan Lake but loved the look of this Lakehouse. The photos and description were enticing… but the magic and beauty of this waterfront home far exceeded expectations. An hour drive from Schwartz Bay ferry terminal. An unassuming front of house with a door to a beautiful home that blends the indoor comforts with outdoor magic. This is a stunning home and location that is beautifully decorated and fitted with the best of everything you need for a restful sleep, a morning coffee on the water, and a fabulous kitchen for creating (gas stove too). There are endless walking/running trails and quick access to cafes, restaurants and a community of kind and interesting people. Recharged my soul.

Home away from home

This lake house was an incredible place to stay for our whole family. The views were incredible, in all weather. We all found it to be so very beautiful and bright. There were a couple of hiccups, but the property managers were incredible and followed up super quickly, and very kindly. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, baking dishes, appliances etc, glasses etc. Memories were made. Some family members didn’t want to leave. :) We CANNOT wait to come back.

Our second stay at the best spot on Shawnigan Lake!

Once again, Shawnigan Point did not disappoint! This was our second stay at this fantastic, fully stocked house on the lake with spacious rooms (with heavenly bedding!), an awesome deck and amazing dock where we spent our days swimming and soaking up the sun. The house is surrounded by lush greenery with trees on all sides, so it is much more private than other houses on the lake. We LOVE this place and plan on continuing to return every year.

Highest rating possible

At risk of others renting and our inability when we want it again in the future, we can’t say enough about this property. We’ve stayed in a number of VRBO’s and this property was, hands down, the best one. From the wow factor when you walk through the door until you close the doors upon leaving, it is amazing. The house has comfortable beds, the kitchen is well stocked. It has all of the conveniences of home. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We’ll be back!

The most stunning property on the lake!

Hands down, best property and lake house on Shawnigan! We’ve stayed in many rentals on the lake and none compare to this one. From the expansive lakefront, well manicured lawn, cute boat house/games room, kayaks, and multiple fire pits, to the fully stocked, beautifully designed inside of the home with the dreamiest beds, bedding and pillows, there was nothing more we could have asked for. This really is a home away from home! We’ve already booked our week for next year and cannot wait to be back with family and friends to enjoy everything this space has to offer, inside and out. Special thanks to our wonderful host Shane for making everything about our stay more than perfect!

It was a cold and rainy week, including a fabulous wind storm and everything was fantastic! So relaxing. So easy. Gorgeous swimming and then watching the lake for hours in those big comfortable chairs was balm to our souls. Thank you Shane and family!

Relaxing Time

Communication with Shane was great! We were looking for a relaxing place for a week and found it! This location and view is amazing! It is the best VRBO I have been to with a very well stocked place and lots of relaxing things to do! Our children enjoyed playing in the boathouse and running around the yard! Next time will need to bring a boat! Thanks so much for a needed rest with a view that is oe of the best!

About the host

Hosted by Shane King

My family and I live in Victoria, BC and have been spending our summers at Shawnigan Lake for 20 years. I am a licensed real estate agent with RE/MAX Camosun here on beautiful Vancouver Island.

Why they chose this property

Shawnigan Lake is a beautiful location to enjoy all year around. This property's southern exposure means sunshine from dawn to dusk. The large property is home to several varieties of trees and receives visits from local wildlife. Just steps to Shawnigan Lake Private School and only a 10 minute drive to Brentwood College in Mill Bay.
Walking distance to the village, home of Shawnigan House Coffee and Oma's Bakery - both are so good you'll want to visit them daily! It's the perfect combination of privacy, natural beauty and proximity to amenities.

What makes this property unique

The Beach House is a fun hangout spot located right at the waters edge next to the dock.
