Amazing stay. Sandpiper Manor is a beautiful, quiet and nature-filled escape. We enjoyed a restorative and pleasurable time. Kate and Cleo’s (pup) spot has everything you need and they are friendly and welcoming hosts. We loved our time there and look forward to our next stay.

A wonderful relaxing stay

We absolutely loved this spot. The accommodation was top notch, beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We especially enjoyed being able to sit in the beautiful gardens and watch the tide and activity on the water. The accommodation is on the Royston Seaside trail which we walked every day. If we have occasion to come back to this are we will definitely stay here!!!

We arrived late at night and had good communications with the host. We were greeted with a fresh bowl of grapes and apples that were harvested from the yard.The host lives upstairs and granted us all the privacy we wanted.Beautiful view of the water with direct access to walking trails and only 5 minutes from shopping and dining.Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, beautiful location. This a taste of island life. The property is amazing BUT not entirely private as the owner lives on site and you will see and interact with her daily. She is a lovely woman and not intrusive. I would definitely stay here again.

Ocean view garden property

We really enjoyed the location, quick access to an ocean side trail which we walked a couple of times a day with our dog. The property has beautiful gardens with quiet nooks for sitting and reading or enjoying the view! The suite is very well designed and has everything you need!

Great spot to access world class mountain biking

We had a wonderful stay at the Sandpiper! Wonderful location, close to a large mountain biking network! We really appreciated the clean and practical layout of the place. The sea view was stunning ! Cate was a perfect hostess, lots of information to share with us. We won’t forget about sweet Cleo’s post ride greetings, what a good dog!

Beautiful, serene place close to everything

What a beautiful place to stay in a virtual paradise of flowers and plants, right on the water! The location was perfect, close to many towns, biking and had a walking trail in front of the property. I easily made some simple meals in the very clean and new kitchen to enjoy on the patio area overlooking the water. The host was very kind , as was Cleo, and I would stay there again anytime!

Beautiful oceanside, dog friendly property

We really enjoyed our stay and so did our dog! It is a very spacious, clean and well designed suite. It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. One of the features we enjoyed the most was the view of the ocean and the ability to walk from the property onto an oceanside trail, very convenient to walk our dog!

We had a great stay at Kate's. The location is unbelievable. Right on the ocean path. You can get to the mall in Courtenay through it, so I walked a few times with my son to Cobb's. The other way leads to a famous coffee shop, a bit on the expensive side, but the pastries are to die for. Coffee could be amazing, but I wouldn't know. I spent almost my entire time when we weren't away outside, staring at the water and the herons. Lots of space outside where you can find shade and a comfy chair or table.Whatever we needed we just had to ask. Kate even washed and folded our laundry!

Comox Valley retreat

We had a lovely spring break getaway to Vancouver Island. Kate’s suite had everything we needed for our stay. Close to town and biking but it feels like you are in the country. Backs onto water and walking trail. My dog Chloe loved it also and enjoyed Kate’s dog Cleo. Thank you for your hospitality.
