Beachfront cottage right on Kye Bay, Comox

Imagine having the Pacific Ocean on your doorstep, a private yard shouldered by large fir trees, where you can enjoy the ocean from the living room couch, the sofa on the covered veranda, or sit at the edge of the property and watch all the action Mother Nature and the ocean brings: …amazing sunsets…sunrises…eagles…herons…seals, etc.. Adventure onto the sand during a lower tide and venture out onto the rocky shellfish reef for fresh oysters & clams. Or just wander along water's edge as the tide moves in and out feeling the restorative benefits of nature in all its splendor.

Winter time is a special time at the beach where major storms can arrive on a moments notice, with driving wind, sometimes rain, and often waves where a new occurrence has recently been taking place – some of the locals have taken up surfing. After every storm the beach always goes through dramatic change. Heavy lines of seaweed often embrace the shoreline. New driftwood comes ashore, and the sandy reefs shift yet again. No question with all these continuous changes, Kye Bay is a beautiful ocean paradise with plenty to explore and witness.

The cottage is bright and cheery and is fully equipped with a queen bed in the bedroom, and a full ensuite bath/shower . The living room has a queen sofa bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, pots & pans.

It has high speed wifi, +700MBS.

Music. It has a SONOS music system and the best way to access it is to download the Sonos2 App, onto your phone, https://www.sonos.com/en-ca/controller-app. There are two Sonos speakers, one in the bedroom and one in the living room that the Sonos app is configured with so you can connect directly to Spotify giving you an abundance of music choices.

Other music options: in the bedroom there is a Bose system, the on/off switch is on the back of the woofer on the right side night table, and the control for plugging in and volume control is also on the right side night table. In the living room, the big speaker in the corner is blue tooth friendly as well as can be run via a patch cord to your phone.

It has a wood burning stove to create that cozy ambiance, luring you into opening up your favourite book, while cuddled up in an authentic Alpacha blanket. It's the perfect moment to unwind.

If you're interested in doing some exploring or other adventures, there is fantastic mountain biking in Cumberland, plus it’s a pretty cool little town to explore with a few cottage brewerys and interesting restaurants too. If you want to try out kite surfing or wind surfing, Goose Spit gets some amazing winds - you might even see some kite surfers here at Kye Bay too when the wind comes up. There's also an Airforce Museum that you can explore. If you heart is into cross country, snow shoeing or downhill skiing check out Mtn Washington about 40 minutes away – it gets more snow than the mountains on the mainland generally.

Getting to Kye Bay, Comox? There are a few options:

Air: Comox International Airport via Westjet, Air Canada, Swoop, Pacific Coastal

Sea: BC Ferries - Duke Point or Departure Bay Arrival

Land: 1 1/2 hour drive north of Nanaimo, and a 3 hour drive north of Victoria. For those driving from the North Island, the Comox valley is approximately a 2 hour drive from Port Hardy.

Home away from home
We loved the location. Close to Comox but right on the ocean. The outdoor space was conducive to sitting outside & enjoying the scenery in comfort. The indoor space was cosy, clean & well equipped with every appliance & cooking utensil. There is no TV but the outdoor activities are much better. We look forward to a return visit.

Autumn at Kye Bay
This the second time staying here and its just a lovely place and very peaceful, unfortunately this time the neighbour was doing construction on his place next door and the noise was terrible, from 8 am to 5pm, we were there for 9 days. Still enjoyed the walks every morning and the views of the ocean and everything that goes with it was amazing. We would not hesitate coming back but would have like to have had a heads up that was happening if possible. Still one of my favourite places

Clean, comfortable, cozy & definitely serene. A perfect little getaway for our 45th Anniversary! Loved the casual zen feel of the patio garden area which framed the beach/ocean view and free nature channel ~ young eagle munching on a breakfast of fish, whilst we crunched our granola...but next time we'd stay longer. :) Kerrie & Roger

Peace and Tranquility
It was wonderful to totally slow down and keep time with the tides. The listing is as advertised. The pictures truly depict the cleanliness and closeness to the beach. The wifi is so strong that it extends to the beach. We loved the multiple eating areas from the deck, to the patio and a small table by the beach. Thanks for sharing your place with us and we hope to come again.

Retro, cozy beach house
loved the retro vibe and all the cozy touches like candles everywhere and fireplace logs. Well equipped with coffee, tea, alpaca throw, etc. We could just sit in the living room if it was too windy outside and admire the sea, the huge tides and sometimes the mountains

My 3rd visit to Tidal Tranquility was amazing...as expected. A beautiful, idyllic place to call home for a few days ❤️. The bonus this year of having the Snowbirds practice every day over my head was simply the icing on an already sweet cake. Again, thank you Brad for sharing your cabin with me and providing a place for my heart and head to rest. Looking forward to next year already.

Total Peace and Healing at Tidal Tranquility.
My husband have rented many lovely houses on beautiful properties, but Tidal Tranquility will now be the standard by which we rate our future travel stays. Upon entering the front door, we felt a deep spiritual connection, headed directly for the chairs by the beach before unpacking. You really cannot refer to this place as a property or beachfront cabin, because it has the sense of a home that calls to your heart. Brad is a wonderful communicator, and from the start of our booking process reached out to answer our every question and concern. We recognize good karma came together to secure our stay. Brad has placed so many little extras in this home that you do not ordinarily find in a VRBO rental. We entertained friends while on the island, I appreciated linen placemats and napkins, beautiful stoneware and serving dishes, decorated paper napkins, a fully stocked kitchen, Lodge cast iron!!!, and parchment paper!! He even had Epsom salts on hand in the bathroom closet. It is always those personal touches that set a good rental apart from a special one. Even though we chose not to use the amazing sound system, burn a log in the fireplace, or light the tea lights Brad has provided his guests with many options to enhance your stay at Tidal Tranquility. The covered veranda was a place of heaven when rain prevented us from being outside. Our trip to Comox was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We highly recommend a stay here. You will find healing and peace.

Return to paradise
My second stay at Tidal Tranquility did not disappoint. The cabin is as lovely and cozy as ever...and the view? Second to none and a joy to wake up to every morning. I loved all the wildlife...herons, eagles, seals...the spectacular weather for my 3 week stay made everything that much better. I loved my daily miles-long walks on the beach at low tide...one day i discovered a purple starfish! Thanks again, Brad,for sharing your oasis with me...I'm already looking forward to next year.

Amazing
The place was so quaint and beautiful and clean, and had everything we could ever possibly need, including a beach right on our back doorstep. The host was super accommodating and reliable. We had our beautiful getaway in the hot weather, and there was never any heat in the house or backyard because it’s shaded by the trees and you get the ocean breeze coming in the doorway every day -just beautiful and therapeutic and we will recommend everyone to go stay there. It’s a beach house in such a lovely bay with our own private airshow with the Canadian snowbirds every morning while they were training very special.

Excellent Return Visit
Our return visit to Tidal Tranquility did not disappoint. The same well-maintained beachside accomodation with thoughtful touches. including a stove for fire logs, made this a welcome break from city life. Stunnning surroundings and wildlife, including goups of bald eagles and seals and a quiet ocean bay with coastal, snow-capped mountains in the distance. Well worth the trip to the Comox valley.

An amazing location - great holiday!
This is the second time my husband and I stayed at this location. We always go to different places when we travel, but this special cabin and beach drew us back there again. The owner is totally there for you, so if you have any questions or needs you just need to ask. We are also seniors that benefit from everything being level at this location, in the cabin and right out to the beach. For those with similar needs this is an ideal location. The gorgeous sandy beach, with welcoming logs washed up from the ocean, make for amazing strolls along the shore. And when the tide goes out, walking on the sandbars and exploring the tide pools is great fun! The kitchen is well stocked for those that love to cook, and one can sit on the couch or table inside and watch the ocean as you eat. The outside BBQ/fireplace is amazing as well. And if there are coastal rains, you can curl up on the couch on the covered deck and enjoy! Another great vacation!

We enjoyed the cottage, the grounds, and the beach. The kitchen is well equipped, we appreciated the BBQ grill, and the owner has added many thoughtful touches that add comfort and 'home-iness.' Many options for enjoying the property's outdoor space. Aside from the beach, the lane the house is on makes for a pleasant walk through the immediate neighbourhood, and not far away we enjoyed Seal Bay Nature Park, Point Holmes, Lazo Wildlife Park, Filberg Park, Baybrook Nature Park, and Brooklyn Creek Park. Prospective renters should be aware that CFB Comox is very nearby, but this bothered us not in the least.

Perfect summer break
Tidal Tranquility is a lovely little gem on Kye Bay. We loved the clean, well equipped cabin and the beautiful backyard that merged with the beach. We walked for miles at low tide and swam in the afternoons. Morning coffee watching seals play and afternoons on the patio are treasured memories. Communication with Brad, the owner, was easy and efficient. I highly recommend Tidal Tranquility for those who truly want a break to recharge and refresh.

A Perfect Place
As this is the third year that we have stayed for a week at the cabin, it's hard to think of new superlatives to describe our stay. Clearly we enjoy the experience! Even though the weather wasn't quite as nice this year, we still were able to sit out every evening on the comfortable furniture on the lovely covered deck (albeit with blankets on a couple of occasions) and watch the ferry and the cruise ships go by. Truly a week that we look forward to and we hope to return again next year.
