An incredible location. Beautiful gardens, humming birds, ocean view, walking trails, and Cleo the lab. Kate Brown is a great hostess - regularly checking in, seeing how we were doing. Extremely quiet and totally relaxing. Will definitely stay again.

Thank you Kate for a relaxing and comfortable stay for us and our dog. This was a wonderful base from which to explore the Comox valley and only 10-15 minutes from downtown Courtney and Comox. We loved spending time relaxing in the garden and listening to the birds. We especially loved the beauty of the garden and of Kates colourful art! Would happily recommend!

A wonderful relaxing stay

We absolutely loved this spot. The accommodation was top notch, beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We especially enjoyed being able to sit in the beautiful gardens and watch the tide and activity on the water. The accommodation is on the Royston Seaside trail which we walked every day. If we have occasion to come back to this are we will definitely stay here!!!

Our stay here was better than we imagined. Kate and Cleo are awesome hosts. The suite is wonderful. The property was filled with trees, plants and flowers. The proximity to the beach was a boon for us. We loved walking on the Royston Seaside Trail. Watching the tide waxing and waning made our trip memorable.

Beautiful oceanside, dog friendly property

We really enjoyed our stay and so did our dog! It is a very spacious, clean and well designed suite. It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. One of the features we enjoyed the most was the view of the ocean and the ability to walk from the property onto an oceanside trail, very convenient to walk our dog!

Beautiful, serene place close to everything

What a beautiful place to stay in a virtual paradise of flowers and plants, right on the water! The location was perfect, close to many towns, biking and had a walking trail in front of the property. I easily made some simple meals in the very clean and new kitchen to enjoy on the patio area overlooking the water. The host was very kind , as was Cleo, and I would stay there again anytime!
