Such a great place. Huge space, super well equipped kitchen (we like to cook), friendly host, and steps to the beach. Central location allowed for easy day trips to many beautiful hikes in the area.
What a lovely get away! We enjoyed the location so much. Morning walks on the beach, wine on the outdoor patio in the evenings. Hearing the waves crashing on the shore when we first arrived blew me away! We will definitely return!!
Jim was a great host, providing help when needed. Stand outs here were the beautiful ocean view, the location and the comfort of the accommodation. We enjoyed walks on the beach, all sorts of outings and Netflix viewed from a very comfy couch. Would love to stay here again.
The place is perfect, everything is there and in excellent condition. The views are spectacular and chairs to enjoy the sights. A little further out from Qualicum Beach than I expected.
The condition of the unit is a bit nicer than the photos imply. Very well appointed. Everyone had a great time and if we come back to the area would likely try to rent the same place again.
Another great week up island in Qualicum Bay “at the beach cabin” as our young kids now call it. We love staying at this laid back ground floor suite literally steps to the quiet beach & a short drive to all the needed necessities & mid Island hot spots.
Hope to keep coming back each summer.
Great stay at this property, the suite itself is great, was very happy with the kitchen and layout. Loved the location it gave you peace and solitude while still being within driving distance of many activities, and beach was wonderful during low tide! My little one had so much fun playing in the sand. Would definetly stay again.
The suite was everything we needed. On a beautiful beach, close to a few good eating places and a short drive to many golf courses. The owner Jim was available to answer any questions we had. Suite was very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful waterfront view, clean, comfortable, spacious, and Jim is a wonderful host. Great communication!
Lovely new appliances including washing machine and dryer.
Beautiful location - just walk out the door onto the sandy beach. Incredible views. The suite has everything needed - especially in the kitchen. The Sandbar cafe is a short distance away and has amazing food. We also visited the Farmers market in Qualicum. We didnt get the chance this time, but my husband still talks about wanting to return to try out some ocean fishing.
The ocean front setting was lovely. The apartment was very spacious, well designed and decorated. It had the most conveniences of any suite i have stayed in the past. There were eating places nearby and great grocery store in Bowser.
I received a second access code from VRBO which made things confusing but was addressed by the owner before checkin.
OMG!!!! Very restful. Great amenities. I literally could find no fault with this place. If possible, I will stay again. Loved it...loved it. Marilyn the cleaning lady was amazing in her guidance. Thank you Jim and Marilyn.
We just finished our third stay at this property and would highly recommend it. The property has incredible ocean views on a beautiful sandy beach - lots of wildlife can be seen including whales, seals and bald eagles. It is a great location away from the touristy areas of Qualicum but still some great places (tacos, ice cream, pub) within walking distance. The house is always clean and well stocked, with lots of space for our family. We’ve already booked for 2024 and can’t wait to be back. Thanks Jim!
