It was our first family vaction with our 1 year old twins and it was just awesome. Robin & Pierre had everything ready and were fantastick in every regard. There was so much to do and when the kids went to sleep mom and dad could get there sanity back with a glass of wine, beach side fire and a relaxing hot tub. We have stayed at numerous Vrbo's but nothing like this one. We will be backRecommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you Tony. It was a pleasure having you and your beautiful family enjoy Bayside and we look forward to seeing how the twins have grown when you return! Until then... Best Wishes, Robin and Pierre

We had read that most people wish they could have stayed longer. Include us in that group. What an idealic setting with a house that has been restored to perfection. It helps that the owner is an interior decorator and it shows. From the courtyard with a dart board and dining tables to the fantastic oversized gazebo and hot tub with outdoor shower the place is amazing. Clams and oysters at our doorstep a plenty made for a fantastic feast. We can promise all who stay will not be disappointed.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

It’s rare to find a vacation place where the interior is as gorgeous as the exterior setting, but the Beach House is that rare exception. The sweet interior is decorated in watery blues & greens in what could best be described as French country/beach house. Everything you could possibly need is there for you: kitchen tools, games, DVDs, robes, flashlights, area guides, and popsicle molds! The interior spaces are thoughtfully designed so that there’s room for everyone to be together or to have their own area. And the outdoors is simply incredible! Watch the eagle perched in his tree, hot tub, outdoor shower on the deck (FABULOUS!), explore the beach, harvest oysters, have a beach fire, or sit on the clematis-surrounded hidden bench. Your toughest decision will be which of the many many gorgeous photos you’ll choose to put into your album. Heaven.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

I have been many places and I must say ...... this was one of my most favorite!! The Beach House was all that and more! Allowing your stay to be of the most elegant and comfy spots. One can not go wrong if they pick the Beach house. My family and I had time to enjoy what makes hard work come to a halt and benifit all the amineties Robin and Pierre provide to make a vacation wonderful. There is much to do, but most of all enjoying the Beach house was my favorite spot. Sitting on the deck watching the neighbor "a bald eagle". Having fun finding treasures on the beach along with discovering the most beautiful rocks. I could go on and on but one should just book it and then they will really know what I mean! I know money can't buy you happiness but my kids and I said it sure helps to have such a wonderful memory deep in our hearts. They know the true benifits of life. Thank you Robin & Pierre for thinking of everything you could possibly need for such a wonderful stay in your home.

My family has searched high and low for the perfect spot for a family reunion, we found it! Robin and Pierre have created a most comfortable place where 8 adults can gather and not feel like we need more room. There is more than enough space for all to be comfy. There is no detail gone unnoticed. It has amazing amenities that make you feel like you're in the Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, or Four Seasons hotels, but better. I can say enough great things about it! We'll definitely be back, without question. Thank you both for such an amazing place!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

The Bayside BH is easily one of the most beautiful places on the planet! We were fortunate enough to have recently celebrated my sister's wedding on the front lawn overlooking the ocean. It was a small intimate setting with family and the beach house provided the perfect setting. I haven't had the luxury of staying there yet but it is definitely on my list for an upcoming trip to the Courtenay/Comox area. Robin & Pierre have thought of every detail.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway.

When my husband Scott and I decided we wanted a small intimate wedding with our immediate family we knew it had to be at one of my favourite spots anywhere- The Bayside Beachhouse! I must start off mentioning that the pictures, although accurately portraying the detail, do not give this place justice, as you must stand in the middle of the room to begin to take it all in. During our stay I’d open a drawer in the bathroom, open up the closet under the stairs, or walk into the laundry room and realize that every inch of the place is thought out to create functional charm. On the eve of my wedding my maid of honour and I both had spacious rooms over looking the water. When I woke up Saturday morning we had coffee and our breakfast on the front lawn as the water loomed around the rocks 5 feet from us. Our decorations consisted of white roses as we didn't want to take away from the incredible decorating and detailing in every nook and cranny of the cottage--every time I turn around I seem to spot something I haven't noticed before, the detailing in this place is magnificent. Our "honeymoon suite" bedroom consisted of a comfy king size bed in a spacious room, which still remains cozy and charming overlooking the water—we enjoyed this with champagne we had chilled in the mini-bar beside our bed. Even at night the dark ocean is lit up below when the tide is in, visibly crashing against the rocks. Robin and Pierre - our experience was perfect. When the storm hit on Friday I knew that as long as I could get from the car to the back door with my hair-style not blowing to shambles the next day would remain wonderful as the storm-watching from your cottage would have created a romantic setting inside. Although I am happy the sun came out Saturday:) Your customer service and accessibility relaxed me on the day before the wedding - here it is storming with wind blowing ever direction it seemed as we drove towards the Beach House; and we arrive to Robin's smiling face, both cleaning up the blowing debris, Pierre on the Beach putting the rocks back on the beach bar-be-que pit. Whatever I needed Robin and Pierre were going to make sure our Beach House experience was fabulous! I hope to send you pictures and maybe Scott and my wedding shots will make it onto your website? Thanks again for creating such a wonderful spot for our special day! PS - I didn't even get into the experience of sitting in your hot tub after a hot shower overlooking the water! Paradise!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

Was fortunate to attend a family wedding at the Bayside Beach House. Truly magnificent. Union Bay location is wonderful - 20 minutes south of Courtenay, 25 minutes to Cumberland, and 40 minutes to the lifts at Mt Washington. The beach house was an amazing location for a small and intimate wedding ceremony and celebration. Beautifully refurbished and immaculate property right on the water. The dart board and hot tub are both nice touches, and the generous space inside is warm and inviting. Awesome place from which to stage, to stay, to see, or to simply relax and unwind.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+.

Hi Robin and Pierre, We had such a wonderful time! The kids said it was the best Christmas ever. They had a great time skiing on the mountain, and particularly enjoyed the beach fires. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home, it was perfect. Truly a great time, and we have many cherished memories. Hopefully we'll be back someday.Did you find this review helpful?
