A modern cozy cottage in your own wooded backyard located mid Vancouver Island.

Come visit Qualicum Beach located on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada.
Rest and enjoy in your own private suite and patio; semi attached to back of main house residence. Nestled within a 2 1/2 acre lot, surrounded by woods, hiking /bike trails, creek and a pond. An oasis in nature but close to town amenities, golfing and minutes away from the beach.
-All linens, bath & beach towels, laundry, Netflix & 58" TV, fast 500Mbps WiFi, gas BBQ, ample private parking included and has a keypad entrance. Unfortunately due to local ordinance we can no longer offer a stove but have provided a dual hot plate, air fryer and large toaster oven.

My adult son and I had a wonderful stay at Geraldine's clean, modern and relaxing suite. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was very well-equipped with good quality small appliances, knives, cookwear, glasswear and dishes as well as supplies. Geraldine made us feel quite welcome and like special guests. The patio and view out over the gardens and forest were lovely, and the neighbourhood was safe and quiet. If we come back to this area, we will definitely stay here again!
