About this property

Get the best of 4 worlds! The Sea, the Forest, the Slopes, the Comfort: Walk down 15 min to "our" beach for beach combing or relaxation. Our rental home is surrounded by huge Fir and Maple trees. Indulge in Forest Bathing, taking in the forest with all your senses. Mount Washington is a prime destination for skiing as well as for hiking, and only 20 minutes away. While enjoying all aspects of the outdoors, you stay in a home with amazing art, tasteful contents, and skylights leading to lots of natural light. A truly off-grid eco home on well water and septic.

This executive style rental home of 2,000 sqft on 2.6 acres, recently renovated, surprises with lots of space and 100% privacy, lots of daylight from sky lights and large windows - but still is a cosy place for everybody in your group. The 2 main bathrooms just new or renovated in April 2022. A brand new kitchen with top notch appliances was installed in January 2023. You'll be amazed about the quietness and peacefulness of the surroundings! You'll experience a bright, architecturally unique home with a 1,300 sqft deck with ocean view, fully equipped kitchen and large living area. This home sleeps up to six adults.

We have a trunk with cushions for the chairs on the deck, and also a BBQ you may use. Also a picnic area and hammocks. Your hosts may be around tending to our amazing gardens, but we will not intrude whatsoever!

Walk down 15 min to the beach, visit Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens also in walking distance - places for meditation as well for enjoying an abundance of Rhododendrons in Spring and Summer. The nearby Seal Bay Park with many trails is more than double the size of Vancouver's Stanley Park.
Several golf courses invite you, you may enjoy local spas, wine tasting at the Beaufort Winery 2 miles away, and top restaurants in neighbouring villages.

It is rural and beautiful here, but only 15 min away from the villages of Comox and Courtenay and 35 min from the City of Campbell River, where you find all amenities. We are centrally located on Vancouver Island with Victoria, Tofino or the North Island as destinations for day travels.

This is a spectacularly expansive property with plenty of privacy. While your hosts live in a small adjacent unit, you will likely never see them unless you need them. They have their own entrance and deck to their home.

Wonderful Getaway

This is such a spacious, clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated home with a well stocked kitchen. Even though it was raining a lot we were so relaxed and happy to be there. And there's a lot to do in the outdoors nearby! Jurgen was a very responsive host. We'd definitely stay there again!

Excellent girls only weekend.

It was a bit of a challenge traversing the last few kilometers to the property due to a recent snow storm, but we so pleased when we finally got there. There was lovely, interesting art in all the rooms of the house, lots of books and games. The beds were so comfortable and cozy and the view from the hottub was amazing! The house has an airy, open feel with tons of natural light but still felt cozy with lots of different seating areas. 2 friends and I spent 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The birds in the yard provided much entertainment and a good West Coast wind storm made the house that much cozier. Jurgen was very responsive to messages, so check in was a piece of cake. We will definitely return!

Country stay close to Courtney/Comox with ocean views

Easy to book. Jurgen has things very neat and organized. Huge deck with ocean views. Try to arrive in daylight, not easy to find place after dark.

Comfort and Relaxation!

Our family had a fantastic stay. An excellent location for quiet and beautiful views, and access to many hiking trails in the area as well as the beaches. We enjoyed exploring on sunny days, returning to enjoy the hot tub and a kitchen with everything we could need to prepare family meals. And also enjoyed the house on rainy days, just staying in and playing games. The beds were very comfortable. It was a great space for a family gathering. Our communications with the host were always timely, friendly and helpful. A wonderful spot! Thank you for a great stay!
