For some who remember 1950's motels, the photos were somewhat reminiscent of those rooms, partly because of the layout and partly because of the bedspreads. If this was a 1950's motel, it has been beautifully renovated. Everything from the paint to the furniture and the bathrooms looks very new. We were to stay 3 nights in one room and 1 night in another. When we arrived, we were told that we could stay in our original room for 2 nights and in the best room for the other 2. Very nice upgrade!

The resort is right on Highway 19A. However, when we are in the rooms, the noise of passing traffic is not a problem, especially after 8:00 PM. Otherwise, the location on the beach is fabulous.

The view was amazing. We sat on the sun deck and looked right out on the ocean and lovely garden. The deck was sunny all day and we ate all our meals there. There is also a shared deck right on the beach that had lovely comfortable lounge chairs.

You could hear people talking through the walls. It was not too bad though. We could also hear traffic noise but when we closed the kitchen door it was nice and quiet. The kitchen is located in the front of the building and we only spent a little in there cooking because the living room/ bed sitting area is so lovely and comfortable. You get the whole ocean view from that room.

The view of the ocean was magnificent with windows all across the front of the room giving us a view of the ocean. We were able to sit on the couch to watch the tide come in and go out. The room was huge and had a kitchenette with a full size fridge and a stove. The kitchenette had appliances and everything you would.d need for cooking.

It was a little cool in the room which we attributed to the fact that there were a lot of windows. It was a small inconvenience to pay for such a view and we would gladly take that room again in spite of it being cool.

A full kitchen. The view was beautiful with a private deck. Was also ver helpful to have your car right outside the front door. Great for loading and unloading as I always take a lot of clothes, Beach stuff and food. We were also able to park our bikes on the deck.

No oven gloves and limited amount of cutlery . I also found the bed too soft and it gave be back ache

Great spot in Qualicum! Room was spotless and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend staying here, if you can get a room!

Parking at the front - you back out onto the highway. Normally fine but we had a large truck beside us and couldn't see. I had to get out and direct Hubs and the other guests next to us! Walls seemed a little thin. It was VERY obvious what our neighbors were watching and doing 🤣

We have been coming back to this facility every year since we first discovered it in 2017; It is an accommodation which is not only conveniently situated next door to the shore, but it is a well managed Mom and Pop Inn. The facilities are utilitarian but clean and neat. The linens and beds are great The daily rate they charge considering the locations is more than fair.

What is there not to like.

A beautiful view, and a very newly remodelled suite was very clean. 

A lot of effort was put into renovating the suite. However, the bed was the issue last night. Unfortunate that they would take the time to renovate the suite mattress, and not replace the mattress. We are both seniors and appreciate a mattress that will form to the body.

Liked the beach front view. Room was clean and so was kitchen. We had a motorbike so it was visible and close to us by our room which we liked. Lots of patio room and BBQ to eat outside.

Well.... we found the restaurants closed too early at night like 8:00 p.m. and stopped orders at 7:30 p.m.. We went on a daytrip with the Harley bike and came back and found out restaurants were closed. No pizza del. nearby too far. Had to rely on convenience store nearby.

The room was amazing- having full cooking facilities means we could cook our own meals to taste and save money for other experiences. It was clean and comfortable, so spacious - such a beautiful view and easy access to the beach. The staff was super friendly. We will definitely come again!

Nicely updated suite with a kitchen area. We had a room with two separate bedrooms and a deck that overlooked the ocean. It was wonderful to sit on the deck and be able to hear the ocean. There was also many flowers to look out at in the garden area below which also had tables with umbrellas to use.

It was a hot day so it was a little warm int he room. Fans were provided which helped.
