About this property

Beachfront Cottage: Brick Fireplace + Ocean Deck

Welcome to your beachfront cottage retreat — located just three doors from the famous Kingfisher Resort & Spa, easily walkable along the beach. With private beach access, ocean wildlife views, and a cozy interior anchored by a real brick fireplace, this home is ideal for couples, families, and dog lovers looking to unwind.

The living space is warm and inviting, with a fireplace stocked with included wood, and large windows framing ocean views. Outside, the deck overlooks the water — perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. There’s also an outdoor fire pit with Muskoka chairs (seasonal fire bans apply).

Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms: a king with ensuite, a queen, and a room with two double beds — all on a single level with just one step from the driveway. The kitchen is updated and includes a server’s window to the dining area. The bathroom shows its age, but the home is clean, well-stocked, and full of character.

Amenities include:
• Pack-and-play & high chair
• Books, board games, and binoculars
• Smart TVs in living room & master
• BBQ, Keurig, and drip coffee
• Fast Wi-Fi & workspace
• Large driveway w/ turnaround (set 50 yards from road)

The beach is rocky, not sandy — great for walks, dogs, or wildlife viewing. While fully dog-friendly, the yard is not fenced. Please check local fire restrictions before using the outdoor pit. Whether you’re reading by the fire or exploring the shoreline, this is a relaxed, memorable place to recharge.

Amazing stay

If you want to be on the ocean, close to amenities but far enough that you feel you’re on a magical escape, this is the place. We enjoyed the view, the fire pits (inside and out), and will be back for sure.

Perfect Family Get Away

We really enjoyed our long weekend at Sunnyshore. The house was perfect for our family (all 3 kids had their own beds!). The kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed and well stocked. We were lucky to have a storm day and got to watch the big waves from the cozy living room facing the beach. We hope to come back again when we come to the area!

Amazing Location

We had a wonderful holiday here. The home had everything you could want, it was spacious and clean. We were able to enjoy the beach that was literally on our doorstep. The views were perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back again! Very pet friendly - they provided a bed and bowls. Our dog had a blast running on the beach every day. Thanks again for a great stay in your awesome home.

Perfect for family or a group

Sunnyshore was a perfect spot for our family of five plus our two doggies. It is very well equipped, the view of the ocean is lovely and it’s a short drive to Courtenay and not too far to Mt. Washington. Everything worked and the host is very responsive and helpful!

Comfortable relaxing home

We were here for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and so comfort and relaxation for our family were central. The house did not disappoint. It was well equipped, cozy, and very importantly, well situated for the beach and Seaside views. The owner was responsive and helpful with any questions I had. We have rented in the Comox Valley area now for almost 35 years in different places, it’s a magical part of the West Coast. An added bonus was that it is pet friendly and the family dog enjoyed swimming and getting about on the beach. We had one lunch at the fire pit which I can imagine during the summer would be a meeting point thanks for sharing your home .

Family get away

You can not beat the location of this house! It was amazing to be right on the water and plan walks around the tide. Our dog was in heaven running and exploring during low tide. There were other dog owners at near by homes and everyone was extremely respectful, leashing dogs when in proximity. The house was comfortable and the owners really easy to work with, they provided a ton of info about the local area. We stayed before the summer season and would love to come back to experience the warmer weather. Great stay!

Wonderful spot

This house is just as listed and quite a wonderful find. Great base for exploring the East side of the island. All the amenities you would need and plenty of room for gathering and family. The view can't be beat. Another reviewer posted about the road noise. This was not an issue for us and I felt the road was a benefit as it was easy to access where ever you wanted to go.

Great location. Private. Wonderful view and on the beach! You must pay attention finding the entrance to the property. Excellent for visiting other parts of the island. Pet friendly, although there are no fences. Everything you need is there, including tea, coffee, and some spices. Close to shopping.

Nice property but not ideal. Every morning neighbours dog would bark for 20min, yard maintenance people decided to show up early and cut grass and weed whip. They asked us to start a load of laundry prior to leaving but there was bedding left in dryer from previous guests..
