Walk-On Oceanfront Home Steps From Stories Beach

Welcome to our beautiful beach front home in Campbell River! Boasting exceptional mountain and ocean views, this seaside escape is an ideal getaway for a variety of activities including: water sports, wildlife viewing, golf, fishing, hiking and easy access to Mt. Washington.
Our 3 bedroom rancher is perfectly set up for fun for the whole family. Hanging out on the beach by day, followed by a beach fire and wildlife watching at dusk - this place truly encompasses the magic of Vancouver Island.

Open concept family, dining, and kitchen area with sliding doors to a patio just 10 ft from the walk-on pebble beach. Located on Alder Point with panoramic views of both Coastal and Vancouver Island mountains. Lots of private parking is available on the property including space and electrical plug-in for an RV.

If it`s rainy, you can enjoy storm watching from the couch inside the house or outside in the oceanfront hot tub. Woods Creek passes through the half-acre property and makes a nice freshwater cold plunge. ***Please note that the hot tub is available for bookings from October 1-May 31. It will be drained for the hotter weather from June 1-September 30. ***

The outdoors is shared with local wildlife. There are frequent ocean visits from eagles, herons, seals, sea lions, porpoises — and always a chance of catching whales passing by. Woods Creek hosts otters and salmon during spawning season. Please note that being close to so much water means there can be non-aggressive garter snakes living here as well.

Stories Beach is a 5 minute walk away along the shoreline. When the tide isn`t at its high point, water recedes from the pebbles to reveal an extensive sand beach great for lounging or playing. When the waves are up, this is also a common place for locals to paddle board or surf.

Your ideal access point to everything Campbell River has to offer.

Grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores in Willow Point are a short 5 minute drive, with downtown Campbell River being a 15 minute drive.

The popular Storey Creek Golf Club and Woods Creek Trails for hiking, running, or mountain biking are a mere walk or 3 minute drive. We have lots of other trail suggests - please ask!

Looking for more adventures? Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing at Mt. Washington is an easy 40 minute drive away. Cumberland`s popular mountain biking park is about a 30 min drive. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub after your day`s activities.

If you’re looking to switch it up from our beautiful Stories Beach, try the biggest beach in the area with Saratoga Beach a 10-minute drive South.

Campfires:
