Beachwood House is a luxury, beachfront home on Comox Bay just south of Courtenay in Royston. This Cape Cod style home with shingled exterior is situated on one acre of terraced grass lawn with views of Comox Harbour, the coastal mountains, kayaks and sailboats. Abundant bird life such as trumpeter swans, herons, eagles, ducks and geese are about the beach area. A fire pit on the sandy shore is a great gathering spot for friends and family. There are large lawn areas for bocce, badminton and horseshoes. Launch your canoe or kayak from the beach. Three decks provide areas for a quiet perspective of the bay. Sip your morning coffee from shore side chairs nestled on the lawn. Find moon shells on long walks when the tide is out.
Soft colors and furnishings create a space to unwind and relax. Gourmet kitchen with gas stove, wet bar and new appliances provides inspiration for meals while looking out over the bay. French doors open to BBQ area. A master bedroom with spa inspired en suite has a large jetted tub that will provide restful soaks and picture perfect views of the ocean. French doors open to a private deck. Upstairs are two attic bedrooms with views of ocean and gardens, with waterside bedroom having access to small sitting deck. A large dining room with river rock gas fireplace is a great space for the family to gather at the end of the day. The family room provides space for breakfast, watching movies on a big screen, listening to music, curling up by the fireplace and open to a sun filled deck through large glass doors overlooking the ocean.
The Comox Valley offers many activities such as golf, fishing, skiing, boating and hiking. Rentals of canoes, kayaks, bicycles and boats are close by. There are many great restaurants, a museum and live theatre. Downtown Courtenay abounds with beautiful boutique shopping and unique coffee bars.

If you're looking for a little slice of heaven look no further then this property. Perfect location and no detail overlooked. This property is wonderful. Every possible amenity available while retaining a wonderful 'beachy chic' ambience. The owners and caretakers were a real pleasure to work with. It was hard to leave and left us wanting more. We would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a romantic getaway to a mini family reunion. We can't wait to go back!

We had a FABULOUS time at the Beachwood House during our weeklong stay in July 2010. The house is a pleasant mix of historical character integrated with modern amenities and design. Our 14-year old daughter loved the feel of her Anne of Green Gables – style bedroom, and our 8-year old son enjoyed exploring the huge grounds and all the various games provided. The huge lawn was wonderful for relaxing with our dog and for more active pursuits with the kids (kite flying, bocce). During our stay we saw eagles, herons and bunnies right on the property, all from the comfort of the spacious deck. Courtenay has many beautiful parks and family-oriented amenities, and we loved that the oceanside bike trail is accessible from less than a block away from Beachwood House.

Vancouver Island is such a beautiful place, it is hard to leave. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Beachwood House. It was a pleasure to arrive to such a welcoming home. Beautifully appointed, spacious and so clean. It was perfect. From walking out on the gorgeous sand spits at low tide to skiing under blue skies at Mount Washington ... doesn't get any better. We would also like to let you know how much we appreciate the pet friendly aspect of Beachwood House. Also, our greeter was great. Friendly, helpful and professional.

"We really enjoyed our time at the Beach House. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. Our kids were captivated by the wild life just outside their front door. We watched three Bald Eagles land in one tree at the corner of the property one morning for breakfast. One night a deer munched on the fallen apples. Lots of little crabs to observe and beachcombing to do. We found your property conveniently located for lots of activities - Courtenay riverside biking trail, shopping, Denman Island, hiking..."
