Nice Place to Stay

The cottage is clean, quiet and comfortable for two people. The outdoor space is a perfect place for coffee or a drink. The secluded beach nearby is a lovely place to relax. The area offers lots of gluten free options (which was important to us).

The cottage was very nice and had a comfortable bed. Our hosts were kind, friendly, attentive and respected our privacy. They provided many extras that I requested The property is beautiful with birds, rose bushes and a hummingbird to enjoy. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Many hikes, walks and beaches nearby. The Farmers Market on Saturday is a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.

Great Host

We stayed here during the winter and had a wonderful experience. There are plenty of great places to explore in the area. Brad went above and beyond by shoveling the snowy walkway, ensuring we had a clear path to our vehicle.

Hidden Gem

Properly is exactly what we were looking for: a quiet, clean and understated place with a small kitchen to relax and get a feel of life in Qualicum Beach. It is conveniently located off the edge of town but just close enough to the beaches and conveniences. Excellent!

Lil Q was absolutely perfect! Quaint, quiet and comfortable. Just an amazing little place . My husband and I stayed 3 nights and didn’t want to leave. The cottage is so comfy and clean and cozy. Close to everything and Brad was an amazing host. In my selfish thinking I don’t want to tell people how amazing our stay was but I feel this place is too awesome to keep it to ourselves. You will not be disappointed with this stay!
