Great location… central to so so many communities. Small store and coffee shop are super close. Somewhat obscured view of the ocean, but only steps away (saw whales a couple hundred metres off shore.

We had a great stay! Very relaxing area and the accommodation had everything and more than we needed. The host reached out to ensure we were satisfied. We found some really cool things along the shore including a jellyfish. The kids loved it. Highly recommend :)

Great location. Quick access to a beach was what we were looking for and got. The only problem was the cleanliness. Every dish we wanted to use was dirty and had to wash first. Cobwebs on the windowsills was a bummer. However we super appreciated the nice toilet paper and overall enjoyed our stay.

In a small, quaint resort, this lovely cottage is nestled at the end of the road against a lush green backdrop. The home overlooks a beautiful beach and view which we enjoyed from the massive, partially covered deck. The kitchen has everything you need and the Napoleon BBQ was excellent to use. So comfortable and quiet - even our teenage boys loved the slow pace and solitude of the area. We played some of the games like Scrabble and crib found in the cupboard. We browsed the books and lounged in the comfy sofas and chairs while enjoying the cedar vaulted ceiling and the view from the oversized windows. We slept well with all the windows open to enjoy the breeze and the silence. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach but an easy drive to get to it all and enjoy the area. We could easily had stayed longer than the 3 nights that we immensely enjoyed.

Very nice cabin, could accommodate family with kids. Close to beach, but view obstructed by row of smaller cabins directly in front. Close to Salish Market in Bowser, and also Qualicum Beach. Good amenities, kitchen well appointed for cooking, grilling, baking. Very pleasant stay.

Cozy Ocean Get Away

We had a marvellous time in this cute little cabin by the ocean. A daily swim, coffee on the beach and walks down by the shore became an easy routine. This place was a perfect get away for my family who loved spending time together either inside the cabin, or outside on the larger deck. Will be rebooking this place again sometime in the near future.

Bald Eagle Haven

Through the inquiry process, all the way through our stay, our hosts were warm, courteous, and helpful. The view is amazing, the neighbors very friendly, the beach steps from the property, and well situated to Qualicum and Comox. House had all amenities that other places usually forget. Very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Spacious well equipped cabin with a beautiful view.

Very relaxing and enjoyed sitting at beach front fire pits. Saw eagles swooping down to grab fish and seals bopping their heads up. Lots of good hiking trails near by. Food stores close by. Good time had by all. We would definitely return. Loved it.

Just wonderful

We left with regret this paradise corner, the house is very welcoming and comfortable, well equipped kitchen side, great bedding; the view is stunning , you are at the water’s edge, pebble beach, car access is easy (perfect explanation for access by the host) and you have a superette accessible on foot; if I could put more than 5 stars it would be without hesitation

Four senior adults one with cane. We had a very comfortable stay. There is a bit of a steepSlope to get up and down or stairs to second level that we had not understood when we booked. We had a little difficulty at first locating cabin and accessing, all our fault!

Views of the sea and a bald eagle as your closest neighbour

The cabin surpassed our expectations. You have a good view of the water from inside the cabin and from the deck. The property is decently spaced out from the others nearby. In fact, our closest neighbour was actually a bald eagle, often perched up a tall tree next to the property. I had a lovely time here with my partner and parents. We're all from the UK and it ticked the Canadian cabin experience off. I would definitely recommend a day trip to nearby Hornby Island.
