Good housekeeping and nice beds with kitchenette. Waterfront property with beautiful view of Qualicum. We luckily spotted two young deers wondering along the beach right in front of the inn for a good roughly five minutes.

Lovely view. It has direct access to the beach down a short aluminum staircase. Clean and comfortable, nothing fancy. Shower only. Could hear some traffic (it didn’t bother us though). We had a relaxing and serene time enjoying the view, spectacular sunsets and long beach walks.
Really nice spacious room, had kitchen facilities in the individual room. Access to the beach and patio space. Beach was a step outside our room. Would definitely recommend.
Our stay here was fine. The bed was very comfortable and it was nice to be on the beach. Although it looks like there has been some effort to update, much more could be done.
It's an older motel that faces the beach. The sea-wall has been gradually collapsing over the years, and I'm sure the owners know the whole place is on borrowed time. (I believe one structure was already lost.) So there isn't much long-term investment in the structure, but the rooms are clean and well-appointed, with all of them facing the water and the central lawn to some degree.
I keep coming back and so long as you come with appropriate expectations, I think you'll do fine. I prefer upstairs rooms, but the downstairs ones do have direct access to the courtyard lawn and stairs to the beach.
Great place to stay and watch the ocean. When the tide comes in, the waves crash on the stone wall and when the tide is out, the beach is great. We saw a seal, blue herrons, and other sea birds.
