Thanks for a great stay. Property was exactly as described. Great communication throughout. Friendly owners - thank you for the kayaks, and hope the fishing trip went well!
Would stay again!
A little gem of a place. Beach area lovely with very little traffic. The host is very thoughtful with the supplies she provided such as coffee, tea, olive oil, salt and pepper, foil, etc. a great place to relax. Very comfortable like home. Amenities close by.
We were very comfortable in this spotless little cabin. Very cozy and nicely furnished. Appreciated the very comfortable king bed! Had everything we needed including cooking items. Would stay again!
I know my daughter and granddaughter had a lovely vacation here. They liked how close the beach was from the cottage. My daughter said the hosts were very welcoming too. Thank you for making their stay so enjoyable!
This little cottage was very comfortable, cozy and quiet. It was very clean and included everything we needed for our week stay. Robyn was a lovely host who ensured we were well taken care of.
Was the perfect spot for my kids and I to visit family and sightsee. Easy walk to the beach and easy driving distance to local attractions. The outdoor space is a lovely bonus and I appreciated the promptness and attentiveness of the hosts. Highly recommend!
Communication was second to none from first making our reservation to the end of our stay. Accommodations were clean, well equipped and located within a five minute walk to the ocean. Our hostess was helpful in every-which way. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Hope to stay there again if ever back in the area.
The property was clean, stocked with essentials and more, and so comfortable!
Close access to beaches, and easy to walk to the main strip along the beach too!
The host, Robynn, was so friendly and kind! She made us feel right at home.
We had an amazing girls weekend, and would highly recommended staying here!
Very enjoyable stay, with eagles and deer close by for viewing. Robynn (owner) was extremely helpful and friendly. Could not have been nicer even though the weather did not cooperate.
Beautiful property and a very well appointed cottage. Easy access to everything Qualicum and Parksville have to offer.
Friendly hosts that made everything easy.
5/5
Lovely stay in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach
The check in instructions were clear, the place has everything we need as bd the bed very comfortable. It’s close to the beach and just a few minutes drive to town and nearby restaurants. We enjoyed seeing the bunnies roaming around our place. The only minor issue is that the water from the shower is quite weak and without a handheld, it was a bit difficult to use and wash off the soap.
We had a wonderful weekend at Nautical Acres. The cottage is very well set out and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout. The nearby beach is one I want to come back to again and again.... And the kids loved the bunnies and wildlife all around. Thanks Robyn! Hope to see you again.
This VRBO offers all the comforts and amenities for an extended stay. The cottage is tucked away on the property and the deck is a perfect spot for stargazing away from city lights at night. An owl could be heard in the trees on the edge of the property.
We were not in town for beach time, but there is nearby access, corner store available at the closest resort as well as Deez restaurant which we recommend.
Robynn's place is exactly as described and pictured, exceeding both of those things. It is very clean and of good quality. The deck and acreage are very nice and private. Deer and rabbits frequent the place. It is a short two minute walk to the beach and very nice sunsets. Communication with the host is exceptional, prompt, and accurate. We would not hesitate to visit again.
Super adorable cabin situated in a lovely piece of property with the beach just a quick jaunt down the road.
All kinds of great hikes, beaches and great food within a 30 minute drive in all directions.
The cabin itself was perfect. Had all we needed to make excellent meals. The king sized bed was a wonderful plus for my 6'3 husband.
A couple of small children could easily sleep on the pull out bed but I would not recommend for another adult. Definitely the perfect couple spot.
Wow. What a property. I strongly recommend this for couples, small families, and groups of 2-4. The area is stunning, the amenities are excellent, and everything is so clean and well decorated. I strongly recommend you barbecue, air fry, and so on your own meals here. Full-sized fridge, a microwave, an induction stovetop, and more!Bravo to Robynn and her family for such a beautiful experience end to end. She provided great recommendations to help ensure our experience was as incredible as possible! Bonus points for the umbrellas, camping chairs, sporting equipment, and superb welcome guide.
Beautiful location, nice unit. The shower is very tiny and hard to use - not recommended for a long stay. There is an open electrical panel covered by a picture next to the shower above the toilet which doesn't seem safe. Would have preferred a regular toaster to the old toaster oven. Good information provided by the host.
My husband, myself and brother shared this cabin on nautical Acres. It has an enclosed bedroom with a comfortable King sized bed. My brother slept on a comfortable pull out queen sized mattress built into the couch. There’s a small fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine. It’s very quiet, private property with a nice outside patio with a bbq. I never heard any outside noises and found it to be a peaceful location. It’s approx 1/2 block easy walk to Qualicum Beach. The property is approx 5-8 min from downtown Qualicum. We really enjoyed staying here , and would definitely return.
The hosts were very welcoming, and helpful. Then left us in peace for our two nights.
Cottage is charming, and cosy. Very clean, private space. It is just the right size for two adults. The gas heater was a bit of fun with all the colour options. Well supplied kitchen items: good coffee and a combo pod/drip machine.
An issue is the table. It's easy to knock it and spill your drinks. The only other thing I'd do is reduce the decor items. When you bring in your own gear, you can find it becomes cluttered.
