We had a fantastic stay at Nautical Acres. Great location close to the beach. Very secluded and private, this gem was all we could ask for. Our family of four fit comfortably. We will definitely be booking here again! The hosts were super hospitable and friendly, making sure we settled in and asking if we needed any information on the local area.

Fantastic Accommodations

Communication was second to none from first making our reservation to the end of our stay. Accommodations were clean, well equipped and located within a five minute walk to the ocean. Our hostess was helpful in every-which way. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Hope to stay there again if ever back in the area.

Fabulous experience - luxurious and peaceful

Wow. What a property. I strongly recommend this for couples, small families, and groups of 2-4. The area is stunning, the amenities are excellent, and everything is so clean and well decorated. I strongly recommend you barbecue, air fry, and so on your own meals here. Full-sized fridge, a microwave, an induction stovetop, and more!Bravo to Robynn and her family for such a beautiful experience end to end. She provided great recommendations to help ensure our experience was as incredible as possible! Bonus points for the umbrellas, camping chairs, sporting equipment, and superb welcome guide.

Awesome place!

We enjoyed our three nights at Nautical Acres! Just as described. Hostess was easy to communicate with, joyful and informative. We walked to the beach several times and also walked and used our bikes in the quiet neighborhood filled with wild/ferrel bunnies! Beds were very comfortable. Unit was extremely clean. Welcoming book with a few favorite local things to do and more about the area in the other room. The unit is private and located within comfortable proximity to the main home. Hostess was especially accommodating and helped us with a load of laundry. Photos are of me enjoying a pot of tea on the deck in the morning listening to the bald eagles and dozen other bird calls; of our children walking the spacious grounds and snacking on a couple of wild berries

A special place!

We had a wonderful weekend at Nautical Acres. The cottage is very well set out and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout. The nearby beach is one I want to come back to again and again.... And the kids loved the bunnies and wildlife all around. Thanks Robyn! Hope to see you again.

Cute Cottage

This VRBO offers all the comforts and amenities for an extended stay. The cottage is tucked away on the property and the deck is a perfect spot for stargazing away from city lights at night. An owl could be heard in the trees on the edge of the property. We were not in town for beach time, but there is nearby access, corner store available at the closest resort as well as Deez restaurant which we recommend.

Great Getaway Location

What a great location! So close to the beach!! The cottage was inviting, clean and had everything we needed. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable. The heated floor in the bathroom was an added bonus. Many activities to do around the area such as hiking at Englishman River Falls. Loved the easy contactless arrival. The hosts were very welcoming and made sure our weekend was everything we hoped for.

Gorgeous Spot

Super adorable cabin situated in a lovely piece of property with the beach just a quick jaunt down the road. All kinds of great hikes, beaches and great food within a 30 minute drive in all directions. The cabin itself was perfect. Had all we needed to make excellent meals. The king sized bed was a wonderful plus for my 6'3 husband. A couple of small children could easily sleep on the pull out bed but I would not recommend for another adult. Definitely the perfect couple spot.

Very Nice

Robynn's place is exactly as described and pictured, exceeding both of those things. It is very clean and of good quality. The deck and acreage are very nice and private. Deer and rabbits frequent the place. It is a short two minute walk to the beach and very nice sunsets. Communication with the host is exceptional, prompt, and accurate. We would not hesitate to visit again.

Beautiful Location

Beautiful location, nice unit. The shower is very tiny and hard to use - not recommended for a long stay. There is an open electrical panel covered by a picture next to the shower above the toilet which doesn't seem safe. Would have preferred a regular toaster to the old toaster oven. Good information provided by the host.

Absolutely the best!

The two things most important to me in renting with VRBO is that the property is "as advertised" and the host is available and responsive. In that regard, this spot is fantastic! The place actually looked better in real life and Robynn was super! An added bonus is that the place is spotless and totally up to date. Also, bring a book. If the weather cooperates there's a nice little patio to do some reading!

Vacation

My husband, myself and brother shared this cabin on nautical Acres. It has an enclosed bedroom with a comfortable King sized bed. My brother slept on a comfortable pull out queen sized mattress built into the couch. There’s a small fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine. It’s very quiet, private property with a nice outside patio with a bbq. I never heard any outside noises and found it to be a peaceful location. It’s approx 1/2 block easy walk to Qualicum Beach. The property is approx 5-8 min from downtown Qualicum. We really enjoyed staying here , and would definitely return.
