Qualicum Breeze Beach Resort

The location and views are outstanding. The room however was very small for the price especially. You can't pick oysters and clams as advertised.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and I just have to say we couldn't have picked a better place! The view along the ocean is absolutely stunning. The location is nice and private, tranquil, and away from the husle and bustle of the island's towns. Our room was perfect, the king bed was super comfy, the kitchen was the perfect size for a couple, and the jacuzzi was the perfect touch for a romantic getaway.
The English couple who were staying here and helping the owner were super friendly and accommodating. They helped us set up the hot tub after we booked our hour, and we wanted to have a fire so they took the liberty to set us up a rock pit while we were in the hot tub and it was ready for us when we got out.and it was in the shape of a heart! So sweet.
Overall we are really happy with our stay, we even decided to extend our stay an extra night!
Would definitely come back to this beautiful resort!

I had a delightful experience during my stay at Qualicum Breeze Resort, a hidden gem that I discovered. I visited Comox to spend Thanksgiving with my family, and this resort, located in bowser BC, turned out to be the highlight of our trip up the island. Returning from the wonderful yet chaotic family gathering to the peaceful ambiance of this tranquil resort was truly amazing. The cottage we stayed in was incredibly cozy; sitting by the fireplace and gazing at the ocean provided a perfect ending to our Thanksgiving celebration.

I am eagerly looking forward to my next trip up the island so that I can stay at this resort again. The owner is exceptionally friendly and pleasant to talk to. One of the rare experiences I had was enjoying my morning coffee on the beach while observing the wildlife. It's not something I encounter often, and it left me feeling completely rejuvenated and reenergized. I am seriously contemplating renting out their beach house for Christmas with my family; that's how much I loved my stay here. Will be recommending to everyone of my friends and family from the mainland looking to get away for a little island escape:)

Hidden gem. I was so pleasantly surprised at this wonderful little resort. We wanted to get away for a quick romantic weekend and that is exactly what this wonderful resort afforded us. The hot tub was wonderful after returning from a romantic dinner. The suite was very tastefully decorated. It looked like it had just been re modelled as it was very modern and tasteful. The fireplace was heavenly to curl up in front of. My favourite part, though, was coffee on the beach, watching the seals play in the Eagles fly up above. I can’t say enough about the view. The manager was quite a character and she made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Thank you Carolyn. We will definitely be back.

***WARNING*** Do. Not. Book here!

To start - this place is beautiful. Great location with amazing scenery, and not too busy. Accommodations themselves were nice as well. This is where the review turns.

Within minutes of arriving, we could sense something was a little "off". First of all, there are what I'll call "post it notes" EVERYWHERE. "Do not touch this, do not use this this way, do not lean on fridge, you must be 16 to use the hot tub" etc. I get it, ownership wants to ensure things don't get wrecked, but it was excessive to the point of hilarity.

Upon check in, she (the owner) read us the riot act, including the rule that anyone going into the hot tub must take a full shower with soap before entering. If you do not, and if the hot tub needs cleaning or servicing at the end, we would be charged for it. We thought this was a little weird and excessive, but sure, whatever. Fast forward a few hours, my youngest child decides he wants to go in the hot tub. He showered. As he goes to climb in, I hear whistling from next door along with "HEY, EXCUSE ME! " It was the owner, spying on us from her little rooftop patio that awkwardly looks over the rest of the resort, to tell me that he did not shower before entering the hot tub.
A - he did shower.
B - even if he didn't, it is incredibly inappropriate to spy on us and whistle like that. Let alone on night one. This is when we knew what we were in for.

Another random weird rule - there's a barbecue we had exclusive access to in the larger cabin our family rented.but you're not allowed to bbq directly on the grill. You must use the bbq mat she provided.

Another random weird rule - as mentioned, kids must be 16 years old to go into the hot tub without supervision. This means my 6'0,170lb 15 year old could not go in the 3-foot deep hot tub by himself. (We had our own hot tub with our larger cabin).

Want to use the community hot tub? Sure no problem.you just need to book it for an hour, and you must prove to the owner or staff that you have showered first. Yes, you read that correctly.

THE WORST PART***:

My Mum, who organized and booked this trip for our entire family paid the damage deposit of a few thousand. (We had 15 people total.the large cabin + one unit on the other side). Unsurprisingly, the owner withheld $1,044.50 of it for the reason: "Extra people and damage. " There were ZERO extra people, and we did ZERO damage.

First couple emails and calls went without response, of course. Finally, we give her 24 hours to respond, after a few days. We ask for evidence of the damage.

Eventually, she responded. She said "The kids counted your guests on the waivers and added the extra person charges not knowing you had two accommodations. "
- We are quite confident this is a lie. Seeing and knowing how much of a control freak she is, there is NO WAY she would let "the kids" handle this part of her business, including accounts receivable/payable.
- She kept $50 in the end for damages to one of the cabinets.which by the way we took a picture of early in our trip because it was pre-existing. At this point, it wasn't worth the battle.

Take a look at her responses to other poor (recent) reviews. You'll get a good idea of who she is and how she conducts "business".

If you want a place where you'll feel like you're under a magnifying glass and have to fight tooth and nail for your damage deposit to be returned, with a bagillion rules at the resort, then this is the place for you!

I look forward to her response to this, where she'll likely call this a lie. We have documentation and emails to prove it all.

This looked like the ideal beach cabin in qualicum, but beware. The beach is full of rocks. The common area is small and the hot tub is only accessible for 16+, and I brought my children. We were not able to get the deposit back and it was nothing like what was expected.
Even the response from the host says it all, rude. This place was run down and she was far from welcoming. She didn't respond with any helpful suggestions when we said it wasn't what we expected. I'm sure some people would swim here, I wasn't looking to look for clams, I wanted a beach that was easily accessible for my mom and children. As for the hot tub, it had a sign that read 16+ and looked disgusting. We found a much better place, that was welcoming with excellent customer service and was 600 cheaper!

Absolutely disgusting place. I would definitely not recommend this place to anybody. The owner is absolutely a miserable old lady with a lot of attitude. I will definitely not recommend it to anybody with colour it. She’s definitely racist she’s not welcoming she charges you online and then when you get there, she will charge you more because she knows you are in a situation where you don’t have a choice. Please keep in mind not to put your family through this by booking this place.

WOW! Qualicum Breeze Beach Resort truly is “Picture Perfect! The two bedroom suite was clean, spacious, bright, very comfortable and beautifully redone with new appliances, tasteful furniture and a gas fireplace. The kitchen had everything for a gourmet meal. And you just can't beat that breathtaking oceanfront view out the huge picture window!

The hot tub was so relaxing, the kids loved the kayaks, and all of ours fav was the beach fires in the evening.

We were steps from the beach (miles long!) and minutes to Bowser which had everything needed. The kids found (too many) beach treasures and were free to roam safely - giving us adults so much more time to relax. That was huge for us parents!

The onsite owner was amazing and made our trip very memorable. She provided everything we needed and was great to chat with.

We heard about this place from friends who raved about it, and they were right. It really is picture perfect! Our family wanted to stay forever, and we are already planning for our next perfect vacation at Qualicum Breeze Beach Resort!

I love this little place on the water. I’ve stayed there 3 times in the last six years. You have to walk on the shore at sunrise to really appreciate this unique setting. The rooms are on the small side but with a warm cottage feel and the beds and linens are very nice. All the rooms have been recently renovated and have small modern kitchenettes. Say hi to Carolyn for me when you stay, she really made us feel welcome.

Great place, right on the beach, been there several times and always received a warm greeting from the owner.

Beautiful little attached cottages with ocean view. Two bedroom unit had a gas fireplace. Everything you need nearby, and a fully stocked kitchen. Lovely welcoming hosts.

My mother in-law and I decided to take 2 days away. We stayed in unit #4, which had a beautiful view of the ocean! It was a cozy little 2 bedroom suite with a kitchen, bathroom, living room (with cable tv) and 2 bedrooms. The heat is controlled by the fireplace and does warm the place up nicely after a few hours.

The beds were nice, and the linens were new and crisp with very nice designs. The English couple watching the property for the owner, were delightful! They always had smiles on their faces and were always willing to help!

There is a hot tub on site, and beach views for miles! The snow covered mountains and the waves from the ocean singing, made for a beautiful morning coffee session! The resort allows you to find clams, muscles and oysters (if you have your licence) and even have their own areas to find them-for free!

The wildlife in the area is also breathtaking with a bald eagle nest nearby with 2 babies. Herons visited in the morning, while seals danced in the ocean for a part of their meal.

Beautiful little place

We will be returning!
