While away the hours exploring tidal pools or enjoy the amazing view watching sea life from the deck. This rustic log home, styled like a chalet, is both cosy and stylish as it's furnished and decorated by an Interior Designer. Unique coastal touches abound throughout the home from its round window over the brand new range to the aqua backsplash tiles. Whether you choose to spend the day exploring the beach or curled up inside watching the waves in a storm, there is always something to enjoy.

Hand built by its previous owner, The Beach Chalet still retains much of its original rustic charm yet has been updated, including a new kitchen and bathroom and full glass railings on the deck to take advantage of those ocean views. Tasteful coastal decor is throughout the home. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, this home has everything you need for the perfect seaside getaway. The ocean facing deck is the perfect spot for watching for seals, sea lions and whales in the Salish Sea. There is a trail down to my private rocky beach which can be walked for kilometres at low tide. It's full of tidal pools for exploring for sea creatures. Bald eagles, herons, ducks and other waterfowl are abundant. From May to October, the Cruise Ships sail past in the evening. Or just stay on the deck and enjoy the amazing ocean view of the Salish Sea.
Situated approximately 10 minutes from each of downtown Courtenay and Comox, 30 minutes to the ski hill and five minutes to the airport, The Beach Chalet is in a very quiet neighbourhood. Neighbours will smile and wave at you as you walk by. Well known Seal Bay Park can be accessed just a kilometre down the road. The Beach Chalet is situated on a no-through road so there is only local traffic. The only rush hour are the deer and the bunnies.
During your visit, I stay on the ground floor of the house so you may see me coming and going but otherwise you won't even know that I'm there. But I am always available should you have any questions or concerns.
Please note that approximately 18% of the advertised nightly rate is retained by Airbnb as its platform service fee. The host receives the advertised rate minus this commission. No cleaning fee is charged.

Guest access
You'll have private access to 1200 square feet of space in The Beach Chalet as well as the deck overlooking the ocean. A third bedroom, not included in the listing, is locked and unavailable. There are some personal belongings in the space which I know you will respect. I will be staying in the ground floor suite so will be around but make myself scarce unless you have a question.
Other things to note
When the wind blows in a certain direction, The Beach Chalet is on a flight path to the airport but the planes are very infrequent and don't fly during the night. But if you're lucky, you may see the F18s or the search and rescue helicopter training. And just note that if there is a heavy wind, the waves can be noisy. Most people don't consider that a negative though.

Neighbourhood highlights
The Beach Chalet is located in a very quiet neighbourhood. Everyone will say hi as they walk by you on the road or on the beach. There is a mix of older ranchers to high end luxury properties. Being a dead end road, there is very little vehicle traffic. Popular Seal Bay Park is just at the end of the road so if you're tired of exploring the beach, you can explore the forest. Enjoy wine tasting at the nearby Forty Knots winery or buy farm fresh fare from Shamrock Farms.

My work: Interior Designer
Speaks English
I love sharing my unique log oceanfront home with others. Being an Interior Designer, every item of decor and furniture has been thoughtfully selected to create a cozy environment. When I'm not designing beach home renovations, I spend my time volunteering as a member of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue or I'm out enjoying all the natural wonders that the Comox Valley offers.
