Beautiful walk out to the beach, my kids could play on the beach while I made breakfast and sit out and have tea before bed. No noise from above at all, place was very clean and orderly, would stay again. Host Jim was welcoming and helpful!
Such a great place. Huge space, super well equipped kitchen (we like to cook), friendly host, and steps to the beach. Central location allowed for easy day trips to many beautiful hikes in the area.
Everything you need is in the kitchen As close to the beach as you can get Can see it out the windows or sit on grass or shore.Big tide change lots of people walk the beach lots of dogs.
What a lovely get away! We enjoyed the location so much. Morning walks on the beach, wine on the outdoor patio in the evenings. Hearing the waves crashing on the shore when we first arrived blew me away! We will definitely return!!
Jim was a great host, providing help when needed. Stand outs here were the beautiful ocean view, the location and the comfort of the accommodation. We enjoyed walks on the beach, all sorts of outings and Netflix viewed from a very comfy couch. Would love to stay here again.
The place is perfect, everything is there and in excellent condition. The views are spectacular and chairs to enjoy the sights. A little further out from Qualicum Beach than I expected.
Another great week up island in Qualicum Bay “at the beach cabin” as our young kids now call it. We love staying at this laid back ground floor suite literally steps to the quiet beach & a short drive to all the needed necessities & mid Island hot spots.
Hope to keep coming back each summer.
The condition of the unit is a bit nicer than the photos imply. Very well appointed. Everyone had a great time and if we come back to the area would likely try to rent the same place again.
Great stay at this property, the suite itself is great, was very happy with the kitchen and layout. Loved the location it gave you peace and solitude while still being within driving distance of many activities, and beach was wonderful during low tide! My little one had so much fun playing in the sand. Would definetly stay again.
The suite was everything we needed. On a beautiful beach, close to a few good eating places and a short drive to many golf courses. The owner Jim was available to answer any questions we had. Suite was very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful waterfront view, clean, comfortable, spacious, and Jim is a wonderful host. Great communication!
Lovely new appliances including washing machine and dryer.
Beautiful location - just walk out the door onto the sandy beach. Incredible views. The suite has everything needed - especially in the kitchen. The Sandbar cafe is a short distance away and has amazing food. We also visited the Farmers market in Qualicum. We didnt get the chance this time, but my husband still talks about wanting to return to try out some ocean fishing.
