Thank you for your interest in our home. Typically we book one week stay minimum; Saturday to Saturday. For your health safety, our cleaner provides “enhanced” cleaning. Please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions.
Our VRBO rental includes most i.e., approximately 2800 square feet of our home: large kitchen, living room, spacious master bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom with adjacent bathroom; all on the main floor oriented towards the ocean, in addition to the spacious downstairs TV room (65" TV), adjacent office with a queen sofa bed (downstairs), and laundry room. Guests can enjoy the private use of all the extensive grounds (front and back), all decks and our pathway to the beach. See photos.
There is an independent, self contained studio suite downstairs, off the laundry room, with its own private and separate entrance which we reserve for our use. We often head to a summer cabin on the West coast off Tofino during the summer months and come and go from this suite. If we are in the suite, we are very mindful of our guests’ privacy.
By choosing our home, (7 day minimum: Sat. to Sat.) you and your family will enjoy the countless recreational activities (sailing, kayaking, fishing, golfing, tennis, hiking, biking etc.) of the Comox Valley from the comfort of our spacious home located on a very private 1.25 acres at the tip of Cape Lazo, just 8 kilometres from Comox.
Its two-level, post and beam design with natural cedar ceilings creates a warm ambiance for everyone. On the main floor, expansive picture windows provide panoramic views of the Salish Sea, numerous islands, and the magnificent snow-capped mountain ranges of both Vancouver Island and the mainland.
Gather around the island in the large, well equipped kitchen with adjacent deck and BBQ.
Catch the sunrise while sipping your morning coffee on the front east facing deck overlooking the sandy beach below, and delight in the abundant marine life: eagles, herons, sea lions, otters, seals, or the occasional pod of orcas or humpbacks.
From the deck, follow the private path that very gently winds to the secluded sandy beach where one can walk for miles or explore the tidal pools. The trail takes two minutes down to the beach and three minutes back up to the deck.
For the swimmer, in the summer, the water is warm, especially when the high tide comes in over the hot sand during the day. It's considered one of the best beaches in the Comox Valley, and since the public access is a fairly long walk away, it's very secluded and very safe for children. Also very close (about 3 min by car) is Kye Bay Beach, a popular beach, well known for its sandy tidal flats.
Relax with a good book in the shade of the fruit trees in the orchard, or get some exercise playing bocce or croquet (sets provided) in our private back yard bordered by tall rhododendrons, and often frequented by deer and the odd bunny rabbit.
Enjoy the evening sunset over Mt. Washington (watch it from the sunset deck off the Master bedroom), then return to the ocean deck for the moon rise over the water as the cruise ships bound for Alaska go by.
We book Saturday to Saturday and accept a variety of payment options. You can fly directly to Comox and rent a car at the airport, or fly to Vancouver, take the ferry to Departure Bay or Duke Point, Nanaimo and drive to Comox (approx. 1.5 hrs by car) Please email us for more information. Our cleaner provides a mid stay clean for guests booking for two weeks at the same cost as the check out cleaning.
