We had a fantastic stay at Nautical Acres. Great location close to the beach. Very secluded and private, this gem was all we could ask for. Our family of four fit comfortably. We will definitely be booking here again! The hosts were super hospitable and friendly, making sure we settled in and asking if we needed any information on the local area.

Fantastic Accommodations

Communication was second to none from first making our reservation to the end of our stay. Accommodations were clean, well equipped and located within a five minute walk to the ocean. Our hostess was helpful in every-which way. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Hope to stay there again if ever back in the area.

Fabulous experience - luxurious and peaceful

Wow. What a property. I strongly recommend this for couples, small families, and groups of 2-4. The area is stunning, the amenities are excellent, and everything is so clean and well decorated. I strongly recommend you barbecue, air fry, and so on your own meals here. Full-sized fridge, a microwave, an induction stovetop, and more!Bravo to Robynn and her family for such a beautiful experience end to end. She provided great recommendations to help ensure our experience was as incredible as possible! Bonus points for the umbrellas, camping chairs, sporting equipment, and superb welcome guide.

Wonderful property close to the beach

Absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin is very well stocked, with everything from salt/pepper to coffee and even some games for the kids. The king sized bed is a treat as well. Very close walk to the shore, and a delightful beach with plenty of wildlife close by. Close to Qualicum Beach and Parksville is a short drive away. The property owner was very nice and helpful as well.

Awesome place!

We enjoyed our three nights at Nautical Acres! Just as described. Hostess was easy to communicate with, joyful and informative. We walked to the beach several times and also walked and used our bikes in the quiet neighborhood filled with wild/ferrel bunnies! Beds were very comfortable. Unit was extremely clean. Welcoming book with a few favorite local things to do and more about the area in the other room. The unit is private and located within comfortable proximity to the main home. Hostess was especially accommodating and helped us with a load of laundry. Photos are of me enjoying a pot of tea on the deck in the morning listening to the bald eagles and dozen other bird calls; of our children walking the spacious grounds and snacking on a couple of wild berries

Lovely stay in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach

The check in instructions were clear, the place has everything we need as bd the bed very comfortable. It’s close to the beach and just a few minutes drive to town and nearby restaurants. We enjoyed seeing the bunnies roaming around our place. The only minor issue is that the water from the shower is quite weak and without a handheld, it was a bit difficult to use and wash off the soap.

Great Getaway Location

What a great location! So close to the beach!! The cottage was inviting, clean and had everything we needed. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable. The heated floor in the bathroom was an added bonus. Many activities to do around the area such as hiking at Englishman River Falls. Loved the easy contactless arrival. The hosts were very welcoming and made sure our weekend was everything we hoped for.
