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!
We had a fantastic stay at Nautical Acres. Great location close to the beach. Very secluded and private, this gem was all we could ask for. Our family of four fit comfortably. We will definitely be booking here again! The hosts were super hospitable and friendly, making sure we settled in and asking if we needed any information on the local area.

We love that you enjoyed your stay, it was a pleasure to host and meet you both.
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.

Such a pleasure to meet you ladies! Welcome back anytime.
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.

Lovely to meet your family and it was a pleasure to host for your getaway. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin is very well stocked, with everything from salt/pepper to coffee and even some games for the kids. The king sized bed is a treat as well. Very close walk to the shore, and a delightful beach with plenty of wildlife close by.
Close to Qualicum Beach and Parksville is a short drive away.
The property owner was very nice and helpful as well.

Thanks for your review Alex, we really enjoyed hosting your family and are glad you enjoyed your stay!
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.

Thanks for your feedback Kelly. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.
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.
