About this property

Beachside family retreat w/Private Raft, Paddleboards, Firepit, Kayaks, Games.

Welcome to The Driftwood Qualicum Beach – Your Coastal Getaway. Relax, explore, and reconnect at The Driftwood – a bright and comfortable West Coast retreat just steps from the ocean in beautiful Qualicum Beach. Ideal for families, this well-appointed bungalow offers a perfect mix of modern amenities and classic beach vibes.

The rental area is a bungalow with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, This home sleeps up to 4 - possibly 5 guests. (If more room is required our personal bunkhouse can be used for an additional cost and cleaning fee. It can sleep an additional 4 people). The Bungalow’s primary suite features a king bed and ensuite with tub and shower, while the second bedroom includes a double-over-queen bunk bed—perfect for kids.

The fully stocked kitchen opens to a welcoming dining area and cozy living room, creating the ideal space to gather, cook, and unwind. Step outside to enjoy the private patio with outdoor dining, lounging area, BBQ, firepit, and outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach adventures.

**Again, we can accommodate larger groups in our personal bunkhouse space (no pets) and that can be rented for an extra charge and cleaning fee. There will never be two separate guest groups staying on the property at one time.

Enjoy exclusive use of kayaks, paddleboards, and a private raft anchored just offshore—perfect for sunny afternoons on the water. After a day of adventure, cozy up around the firepit or watch the stars from the comfort of the yard.

Private raft, kayaks, and paddleboards included

This house surprised us with its loveliness. The views from the porch, the living room, and the primary bedroom, were all expansive of the bay and the mountains beyond it. The kitchen and the whole house was well equipped, there were generous towels, even beach towels, and pleasant surprises throughout. There are kayaks and beach shoes, and binoculars, wood in the fire pit, a hot water shower to come in from the beach, and blanket throws to keep warm in the breeze. There were dog bowls and treats. The hosts were very responsive to questions and very kind. We highly recommend the house and the setting.
