A Beautiful Rural Retreat in the Countryside
We stayed only one night but wished it could’ve been longer. Great attention to little details and loved the owner’s artwork. Thoroughly enjoyed the lovely walk with our dog on the riverside trail behind the property.

I have nothing but good things to say about this property. Host was there to greet us and easily reached at anytime. Can only imagine how beautiful her gardens are in the summer ( we were visiting in October). Even provided a great display of the Northern Lights lol.

The independent suite is new, immaculately clean with a living room and full kitchen and very comfortable king-size bed with a good choice of pillows. Stepping out the door and crossing the back yard takes you to a nice walking path by the water along the salt marches and to the remnants of an old logging terminal where a train would cross a tresle bridge onto a pier to allow logs to be dumped into the bay where the boom crews boomed the logs for the tugboats to tow the logs across the Straight of Georgia to Fraser Mills at New Westminster. An interesting history from the early 1900s.

Wonderful 5 days at Sandpiper Manor
As the property owner Kate checked us in promptly, toured us around her beautiful property, and even had us help ourselves to champagne grapes growing in her yard. Our unit was comfortable, clean and very well located with beach views and wonderful walking path directly out front. We hope to return next year.

Great Escape
This is a great property! Quiet, beautiful setting, easy access to both Courtney and Comox, right on the Royston Trail. We loved it! The bed was comfortable, the kitchen while small but had everything you need and the whole unit was very clean and tidy! And our dog Charlie loved it too. We would most definitely stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kate's beautiful house. She was extremely welcoming and we had everything we needed and more! Stunning spot right by the water with a path at the end of the garden leading to lots of walks. Great biking, great location, we loved it all. Kate also has a gorgeous dog called Cleo who my son loved. We will definitely be back - thank you Kate!

Absolutely everything was provided for in Kate’s new rental suite. We just put our bags down, made a cup of tea, and sat and enjoyed our gorgeous view of the Scottish garden and the Salish Sea beyond. This is the perfect place for relaxation after taking in the many walks, hikes and nearby activities of the Comox Valley. We will definitely return to this well appointed suite and look forward to seeing Kate and Cleo (the dog) again

Lovely, very relaxing stay!
The location is really perfect - I so enjoyed sitting with my coffee in the mornings looking out at the water :-) There are lots of places to sit outside, including two patio tables in different locations, and the flower gardens are quite lovely. The unit itself is very nice - Kate has stocked it well with all the essentials and some thoughtful little touches besides. It is comfortable and nicely decorated, and I particularly enjoyed the lovely shower and the well stocked kitchen. The bed and pillows were all very comfortable as well. Kate is a very considerate host, and I had just the best stay here!

Beautiful grounds. Lovely host, Kate. Very friendly and welcoming. The suite was very clean and had everything one needs when away from home. A wonderful path is along the front of the house where it meets the ocean. A beautiful way to start and end your day-unless you just want to relax in one of the many seating areas around the property! You won’t regret booking at the Sandpiper!

A wonderful relaxing stay
Kate and her dog Cleo were very welcoming upon arrival and gave us a walk through of our suite. Kate had thought of all our possible needs to make our stay more comfortable. She even had white bathrobes hanging in the closet for our use. Kate is a great gardener with hydrangeas and roses blooming. It was a treat to relax in her garden as we sipped our beer and enjoyed looking out over the ocean. I highly recommend staying here.

Delightful stay in the Comox valley
We had a lovely stay in this newly refurbished basement studio. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable and the home was well equipped. There were some lovely touches and the host, Kate, was very friendly and attentive. The garden was beautiful with lots of seating overlooking the estuary. There was access from the garden to the marine path with lots of info about the area and a short stroll to the Royston Town pub. Would highly recommend

Waterfront Getaway
Overall very good. We enjoyed the scenic walking path along the shoreline directly behind the property. Beautiful oceanfront views, and nice gardens throughout the property. Very peaceful retreat which is what we really needed. This is a suite below the owner who lives upstairs, so there is some noise transfer. Very well appointed suite with everything that you require. We would definitely be back again.

Lovely stay!
What a beautiful suite in a beautiful location! Kate's place was clean, spacious and had all of the items you need to stay in a home away from home. I love the little extras Kate thought of like shampoo and conditioner in the shower in case you forget your own, little packets of nuts, a lindor chocolate... the little things go a long way. Kate had great communication and we loved her dog, Cleo. She was very helpful with local recommendations. Thank you so much Kate, we would absolutely stay with you again and highly recommend your suite to others. Thank you so much!
