From the larger than life windows, to the exposed beams throughout, to the hardwood floors, this house is beautiful. It allows you the comforts of cozying up by the fire while watching the rain come down amongst the trees, or curling up with a book and feeling like you are in nature. You can stargaze from the comfort of the hot tub surrounded by tall trees, and listen to the waves. We are only a 7 minute drive from downtown, but it is nice to come home and have quiet, and listen to the birds and the beach. Cox bay is a 5 minute walk, so very quick and easy access to the beach, as well as a paved bike path at the driveway that leads all of the way into town and now down to Long Beach located in the Provincial Park. It is close to downtown, but far enough away for rest and relaxation.
