Clean, quiet, spacious cottage in rural setting next to Seal Bay park. Well stocked kitchen, large open kitchen and large bedrooms. Very comfortable. Minutes away from downtown Comox.

Thank you for your feedback. I noticed you rated the cottage an 8/10, and I wanted to reach out to better understand your experience. Over the past four years, guests have consistently rated their stays 10/10, so I’m always eager to learn where we can improve.
If you’re willing to share, I’d really appreciate hearing what you felt was missing or could have been better. Your insight helps us ensure every guest has a truly excellent stay.
Best regards,
We had an amazing time staying at the Peaceful Parkside Cottage…everything was well stocked in the kitchen and bathroom! The beds were very comfortable and it was so quiet for a good nights sleep! We really enjoyed the Seal Bay Nature Park trails and the breweries in the area! Highly recommend this property!
Clean and very well appointed, trails to Seal Bay park right next door. Very quick drive to Comox airport (10 mins max) and many amenities nearby. Would stay again!

Property is wonderful, in a nice quiet location and nice access to a nature trail.
The cottage is well maintained and has everything you may need during your stay.
Would stay again if opportunity arises.
Cottage was well equipped with everything you’d need and more. Very comfortable and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the trails at our doorstep. Definitely hope to be back.

My family had a relaxing stay at the Cottage. Very well supplied and everything we needed for our stay. This was the best accommodation that we had on our 14 day trip on Vancouver Island.
It was our second time staying here. It's a wonderful, peaceful setting with a beautiful trail system literally next door. Loved sitting out on the porch listening to the crickets while the dog enjoyed the fully fenced yard. Wonderful kitchen with all the tools and appliances you could ask for. If we visit Vancouver Island again, this is where we'll stay.

Hi Sharlene, in a business where we depend on reviews from our guests, I'm surprised to get an 8/10 review from you. We strive to make our cottage the very best for our guests and if anything was lacking, we would have appreciated feedback during your stay so we could have remedy any situation.
I appreciate the contribution to the all missing items, but I have since discovered the sheets are not usable due to the number of pet stains all over them. Our house rules clearly state no pets on linens or furniture, which you knew before booking.
In future, if you do rent another short-term rental, I hope you will think about the hosts and the business they are trying to run. This system relies on guest reviews. We have an excellent rating overall and were disappointed to see your review of our cottage.
We had a lovely stay at the cottage which had everything we needed as a family with young kids to enjoy exploring Courtenay, Comox and the surrounding areas!! the place was cozy, clean and just beautiful! Can’t wait to stay here again :)
We really enjoyed our stay in this very clean and comfy home! It was close enough to the city to enjoy the amenities but also removed enough to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Pelly
Hi, we are your hosts, Scott and Andrea Pelly. We are a family of 4 that moved from North Vancouver in August 2021 to this beautiful acreage in the Comox Valley. We love the space our new property provides us. We both like to work in the yard and Scott can pursue his woodworking passion. We enjoy all the things to do in the beautiful Comox Valley. We had been vacationing here for years skiing and Mountian biking on Mount Washington Alpine Resort and finally decided to call this home. We welcome you to our cottage!
Why they chose this property
We are located down a short quiet gravel road which gives you the feeling you have escaped city life, yet all the conveniences only a 10 min. drive away. Our property backs onto Seal Bay Nature Reserve with an endless trail system.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique as we have a trailhead to Seal Bay Nature Reserve beside the cottage. Only steps away from enjoying this park.
