Super place, great hosts. Faye and Don were very friendly and responsive. Property was clean and comfortable with all the amenities you need. The location was easy to find and very peaceful. Location was perfect.
A delightful space ( including patio) with everything you would need. Nice little touches too. Very restful, just what I was hoping for. Also easy distance to Qualicum town, beach and other places to see and enjoy like Milner Gardens - highly recommended.
I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this is my favourite. It is so quiet. The hosts. put a lot of thought and heart into the space. There a diverse offerings of books, DVD, CD, games etc... Something for everyone (even a box of stuffies). We had our morning coffee on the patio, surrounded by a chorus of birds. It was nice not to be in town and yet it's a 5 min. drive to the beach.
Beautiful and peaceful spot for our 1 week in Qualicun. Faye and Don are super friendly host. They thought of everything from cooking appliances and utensils if you’re planning to cook a few meals there. Even a rice cooker. Brand new BBQ or very well maintained. A great library of videos and books to choose from. A great kitchen layout to prep your meals. Check the cupboards and storage before you think she doesn’t haven’t because she does.She even had a fresh list of banana bread and a jar of creamer for my first cup of coffee! She thank you Fayr and Don!We would highly recommend it!

The suite had all the little touches you would need, from robes to a great movie and game selection, Faye and Don thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We'd highly recommend this place and would come back next time we're in the area.
Had a beautiful relaxing time ..the property was quiet and restful. The unit was immaculate and the little patio out back was a perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine and garden
Absolutely delightful stay! Faye thought of everything to make our stay perfect! So peaceful and quiet while just minutes from town. We enjoyed our own private area outside. Couldn’t be any better!!
Enjoyed three nights at this comfortable, quiet and super clean country getaway. The hosts are so helpful and had incredible attention to detail.

Everything was clear, instructions before hand and in the suite. Banana bread was excellent. Would definitely stay again if we ever need accommodation in the Qualicum Beach area in the future.
Beautiful property, very inviting, comfortable and clean. Loved the welcoming banana bread and sparkling water. Thank you for a wonderful home base for our week of exploring!
A hidden gem off of the beaten path. The suite was absolutely spotless, amenities were all that we needed and the bed/pillows were so comfortable (a very nice end to travel days). The hosts were top notch and very very good at communicating, we will definitely be staying at this property again.

The property was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The location is pristine and safe and extremely quiet. The property is a gem and the owners are gracious.
A delightful charming country location close to the amenities of Qualicum Beach. We were impressed with the comfortable bed, family room with TV, library and the personal touches of coffee and yummy banana bread.
We have already recommended Country Blue to several friends and will return in a heartbeat.
The cottage style atmosphere was cute and the facility was absolutely spotless!
Nothing was within walking distance but to drive to town took no more than 5 minutes. I would recommend this Vrbo to those who are fine not being on the water or in town.
Our stay Was better than we had hoped. Faye and Don were fabulous, we will be using this Vrbo many times in the future to come.

We so enjoyed staying at Country Blue. It was like staying at home away from home. The hosts thought of everything to make sure we felt comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again. The location was absolutely wonderful we were out in the country yet just less then a 5 minute drive to Qualicum Beach and central location to Cathedral Forest. Close to Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay. Thanks for having us. 5 stars plus
This amazing little gem of a place was perfect! The hosts were friendly and helpful. The little apartment had everything you could want in a rental. The serene Patio was the perfect place to start and end our day. I can’t rave about it enough!
We stayed for 3 nights while we explored a bit of what the island has to offer. The house is clean and so homey. There were games, puzzles and a dart board that we tried out. And the banana bread was delicious 🤤

About the host
Hosted by Faye Amos
Love the country setting in this neighbourhood. It’s peaceful, pretty and great for a morning trail run. I enjoy sipping my morning coffee while enjoying the view of Mt Arrowsmith. As a new retiree, I’m looking forward to creating a pleasant retreat for guests. My husband and I are always making little improvements on the property and we are ready to share our space with others.
