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.
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.
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 :)

This property was amazing !! It was near a few hiking and biking trails .It had a fantastic outdoor firepit with comfy chairs.
The inside was beautiful. You could buy farm eggs next door. The owner was very responsive to our questions. Definitely a hidden Pearl !!!! Would definitely choose to go back
This cottage is bright, spacious, very clean and well laid out with all the amenities one could want. It’s easy to find and check-in is a breeze. The property is quiet and at night there’s no city lights to obstruct star gazing. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.
Very well equiped in all aspects. Stylish comfortable furnishings, very comfortable beds, lovely quiet area, clean. The person who runs this property cares about it and it shows.
Excellent place for awesome weekend. The cottage was very private and had easy access to the park and trails. Thank you. We would highly recommend this property.
Beautiful cottage, modern, bright, very clean and tidy, very well supplied with cooking supplies and equipment, lovely outdoor seating with gas fire, right next to hiking trails.
I rented the cottage to visit our daughter who lives on the island and celebrate my wife’s birthday. The cottage was perfect. The location was what we were looking for. Lots of trails for biking and hiking which we enjoyed. Short walk to the ocean where we seen seals every day. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Andrea was a great host.
Very relaxing and well put together cottage. Situated really close Comox / Courtney and right beside Seal Bay Park. Great for dog walks and taking in the ocean air. Andrea was able to answer any questions and a great host. Martin Amy Kara
Andrea and Scott have a cozy, welcoming cottage with everything you might need for a family stay. We were in town for a family reunion with four adults. Five-star comfort and tranquility.
Loved the outside sitting area and table fireplace.
We had a relaxing and “peaceful” stay at Andrea and Scott’s cottage in early October. It’s in great condition and very tastefully decorated. The beds and the sofa were very comfy and the kitchen was one of the best we’ve been in as a rental. We enjoyed being beside one of the trailheads for Seal Bay park. We also really appreciated having a fully fenced yard for our dog ! although we didn’t leave her alone out there. That is so hard to find in rentals. Andrea was very responsive and we enjoyed trying the eggs from their hens. Good location. We enjoyed seeing the pink salmon spawning in the Tsolem river about a 15 min drive away. Would love to return for another stay!
The house was really lovely and like new. Nicely appointed with any kitchen gadget you could need and the overall amenities were great.
We had our dog with us and it was wonderful having a fully enclosed lot around the house. It’s next door to a gorgeous trail system in the forest with access to Seal Bay park.
We’ll definitely stay again!
We had a wonderful time at the Parkside Cottage. We traveled with our toddler and small dog, and felt right at home. The cottage was well equipped and kid friendly. The fenced yard was great for our dog and toddler to run around. The location is right beside the Seal Bay Park trailhead, which had wonderful trails. I highly recommend this property!
This is the perfect location! It’s peaceful, quiet and clean with fast internet which allowed us to get some serious work done! The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive to any questions we had. The walking trails right out the front door are absolutely stunning as well.
I would highly recommend staying here!
