Beautiful view

The house was perfect lots of room very clean and everything you needed was easy to findThe outside has lots of seating and you couldn't ask for a better view of the water. Unfortunately the yard needs a complete overhaul nothing but weeds growing everywhere I would rent again if the yard was cleaned up

A perfect spot to get out of town

This was the ideal spot for a family break away from the city. With easy access to the beach, it was a great place to get some fresh air and relax, even in the middle of winter. With both the Comox area and Qualicum nearby there are things to do and places to eat nearby, and plenty of spots for leisurely hikes in the woods or by the ocean. The house itself was very comfortable and well equipped for our party of 6 and our dog. We had brought her kennel/crate but they also provided a dog bed and crate for a smaller dog. The only slight drawback was that the yard wasn't fully fenced so we couldn't let our dog outside unaccompanied.We would certainly come back here again.

We had a marvellous time, location was great, access to beach was great. A few things could have been better, in my opinion, such as the bed on the main floor needs another mattress on top so all the beds are comfortable, when we arrived and unpacked we placed totes in the corner by the locked room and when we started to pack up there were mushrooms growing between the baseboards and the wall, (have a picture but couldn’t figure out how to attach it) patio needs a good pressure washing as that is just an accident waiting to happen, the enclosed yard has just been let go, weeds are growing out of most of the pots. The biggest disappointment was not being able to have a fire, the website said there was a fire pit so I purchased some hotdog/marshmallow sticks only to find out we couldn't have a fire once we arrived. I had contacted the hosts and asked if they knew where we could purchase some wood but I never got a response, not sure why they didn't let us know then we weren't allowed fires.

It could be amazing if effort was put in

My check in was not ideal, we drove 18+ hours, got there and couldn't get in. We tried for an hour to reach owner. Finally I called VRBO who said they also couldn't reach them. Finally got a call staying door code changed this morning and they forgot to tell us the new code. Property needs TLC, the yard is in dire need of attention. The deck needs refinishing. The firepit was full of grass and ants. We had to dig it out ourself to have a fire. The bricks are also all broken. Very close to neighbors. We were under the assumption it was private as per the ad. One neighbor is not friendly. We went on corner of her grass (no fence) to try to get to the water and she told us off. Only proper curtains/blinds in 2 out of 4 bedrooms. Shear curtains in other two. Had to cover the windows for our 6 year old to sleep last 4am. Windows also look like they tried to frost them or something. There's finger marks down the windows in white. No broom or swifter cloths. Ceiling fan in living room does not work and there are no floor fans. House gets hot and it's a noisy area, so highway noise wakes you up if you sleep with windows open Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable. This place could be amazing if the time and effort was put in. Overall I expected much much more. Host was hard to get ahold of. We ran out of propane the 2nd day it took 2 hours to hear from them. They finally got us some the next day after follow ups. Was told to go get some initially.

I loved the access to the beach and the beach was fantastic.I loved all the sea lions and sea birds.The neighbour hood was friendly.The many trails around the area were very well maintained and beautiful.The golf course very close by was great and well maintained and very good price.The beds were extremely comfortable but most of the bedroom windows only had sheers.There was no vent above the stove but the appliances were great.The main items that are commonly used like the kitchen appliances, bathrooms,bedding extra were very clean but otherwise it could have been cleaner.The house was stocked with some cooking ingredients and cleaning agents.

Great retreat at the beach

Excellent shared spaces, well set-up kitchen and back patio. Bedrooms are very nice. Bathrooms are good, noting no shower in upstairs bathroom, just a tub. Fabulous outside area with easy access to a stony beach with amazing views. Easy drive to Qualicum Beach (15-20 min) or to the ferries to Denman Island/Hornby Island (20 min to Buckley Bay). BBQ works well. Nice having washer/dryer to use.

Relaxing stay

The house was clean and bedrooms and kitchen ready. The pebble beach was very relaxing. Lots of room to host family. But the owners were not really available. I sent them a message before our visit and never received an answer. I was relying on wifi but there was no wifi password in the unit. had no data to email them but luckily my daughter had data on her phone and was able to go to the VRBO website and find the password. The outside "gardens" must have been lovely once, but now were weedy and unkempt. We had to clean the outdoor furniture before using it. The house and location are very nice, views from the upstairs bedrooms amazing, but a little more effort would be appreciated.

Island Christmas

This place was exactly what we were looking for. It was a great space - bigger than the pictures showed. It was a perfect space to 2 large families. It was great to have the big field and easy access to the beach. We loved the view as well.

Nice beach house

We really enjoy our stay, it’s close to Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The house is very clean and it’s a 2-3 mins walk to the beach. For future guests, suggestion will be make sure you bring your own sugar and extra bowls if you plan to make food there.

Qualicum bay beach house

Fabulous home & location! Swam in ocean every day of our 1 week stay. Recently renovated home & ocean views from 3 of the four bedrooms. Highly recommend. We bought a telescopic window washer to clean the bird poop off the windows but otherwise very clean! They also have a full coffee maker in addition to the keurig. Bring sugar & spices you need…also smaller bowls for dips would be helpful…and a bottle opener/ corkscrew. We did a lot of cooking & the kitchen was well stocked & and had awesomely sharp knives for food prep! Tea towels might be helpful… we ran out of paper towels & had just enough dishwasher pods & comparing bags to get us through the week. Lots of beach & bath towels & washer & dryer worked great! Highly recommend this beautiful property…quiet neighborhood & steps to the beach! Sad to leave!

Island getaway

I was hesitant to book this place because I didnt see any previous reviews and I am very picky about cleanliness and quality of a listing. BUT this home was amazing and comfortable. We travelled with another family with their two kids and it was spacious, clean, quiet, and literally 30 seconds to walk to the beach. Fyi the beach is rocky. We did manage to paddle board and wander along the beach. Beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. View of the ocean is very nice from this home. It does take about 30 minutes drive to get to Parksville and a short drive to get groceries/coffee.
