Vacation rentals with beach access in Courtenay

A very comfortable place to stay with an outstanding view. Great value.

The attention to detail made this interior space feel welcoming and inviting from the moment I arrived. I can't think of a thing that could have made it nicer. The views were everchanging with a variety of weather patterns during my stay. The ocean and sky were so interesting, even dramatic at times. From the windows I saw eagles, seals and the herring season that came and went, turning the water a tropical blue. So funny to see, when we know the ocean is freezing this time of year. Fishing boats were there a few days, taking their catch. Then walking in the neighbourhood, even the occasional deer to surprise you. So many paths to the beach to walk along the rocky shore when the tide is out. Daytrips are easy to go to everything, from this location. Just a short drive to the main highway and you can see so many interesting things available on central Vancouver Island. I imagine in the summer it would be even lovelier. The hosts were so friendly and helpful.

My two friends and I stayed here for the week we had school and it was probably one of the best places we have stayed. Very spacious, comfy beds, couch was big and nice to relax on after a long day at school. Kitchen had all the supplies needed. Nice to have the option for laundry as well. Very bright with all the windows. Short walk to the beach. Good storage for our paddle boards. Very responsive and friendly hosts. Quiet neighborhood but close enough to everything in town. We will be back here for sure!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside rental! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and welcoming the space felt. The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking — we spent every morning with a coffee on the deck, watching the waves roll in. Beach access was just steps away, making it easy to enjoy long walks, swims, and sunsets without ever needing to get in the car. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, providing helpful local tips and ensuring we felt at home. Every detail — from the cozy linens to the thoughtfully stocked kitchen — made it clear they truly care about their guests’ experience. This place is a gem. We left feeling rested, refreshed, and already dreaming about our return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful escape by the sea.

Cornelia's place is amazing. It feels brand new and is very comfortable for a couple. The views across Georgia Strait defy description. No matter the weather, this place would be relaxing and comfortable year round. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Super easy communication for check in, directions were great. The kitchen was stocked well for cooking and even had a few plastic containers to pack snacks for a hike. Several pools on the property, so appreciated the huge stock of beach towels and having access to the in suite washer / dryer. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay at the hotel chateau riverside. Sunny the host was extremely friendly and clear instructions about the place. The Suite was super clean ! I Highly recommend this place.

Ivy was a great host. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Easy access to beach. Kitchen well equipped. A/C worked well. Rooftop patio was nice. Great stay overall.

A perfect location with a beautiful beach for walking, spectacular views of mountains and ocean for a great escape to catch up with friends. A home away from home with a well supplied kitchen for those who like to cook. We had everything we needed at our fingertips. Open the sliding doors off the living room to find an inviting sitting area on the large raised outdoor deck with very comfortable lounging furniture for morning coffee, an afternoon BBQ or just reading a book in the fresh air. It was a perfect way to start and finish our day. Thank you Kent for providing everything we needed for our escape away and your quick response to any questions we sent. Much appreciated. Would love to come back again!

Thank you so much for having us again :-)

Susanne’s place was fantastic and fit our needs perfectly. She was extremely accommodating and timely. I would recommend this Bnb to anyone looking to travel to Powell river. Location is central and close to everything you need! A very clean and cozy place to stay.

Very nice cozy stay and the backyard was clean and good to hangout too

Highly recommend. Love the decorating. Well stocked kitchen. Super comfy bed. Open concept. Lovely view. Great hot tub. We also really appreciated an early check in. Thank you Josh and Heather.

We had such a lovely weekend at Lauren’s place.. The location couldn’t have been more perfect with its stunning ocean views. The home itself was clean, well-stocked, and beautifully designed for relaxation. It felt like a true getaway. Lauren was responsive and kind, allowed us to check-in earlier because we have a young baby. We’re already thinking about coming back for a longer stay!

Amazing place! Location was great and it has an exceptional ocean view. Super clean and the hosts are very nice and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again

I had a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and just as described in the listing. The host was friendly and responsive, which made check-in and communication super easy. The location was convenient and quiet—perfect for relaxing after a long day. I’d definitely stay here again!”

A beautiful, serene little place, right on the waterfront. It had everything I could have needed (I wasn't really planning to cook for myself but if I'd wanted to, the kitchen was fully equipped). I was looking for quiet few days for a solo retreat and reflection time, and Cheryl's place was ideal. Right on the waterfront, tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy gazing at the ocean (some bunnies came by to visit), and a beautiful, majestic eagle kept watch over me while I was there. I heard but was not quite lucky enough to see a sea lion barking at the water's edge, and there were graceful herons taking flight and landing. I recommend the schnitzel Haus conveniently located across the street because I practically waddled back home, it was so filling and delicious. The unit was just as described, clean, comfortable, a perfect getaway. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Susan has certainly given a lot of thought to furnishing the apartment. Great views out over the sea. A lot of lovely touches provided , milk, tea, coffee, water and sweet treats. Had a great stay.

We really enjoyed staying here. The photos don't do justice to the views. Sitting on the balcony right next to the beach was awesome!

We had a magical stay at the Beach House. Being able to walk barefoot right onto the beach was so special to us. When it rained we were still able to open the panel of patio doors to maximize our time with the beautiful landscape. Just a stunning place to stay. The Host was very responsive and wonderful to work with. The space was immaculate, cozy and had everything we needed!

Lovely view from the first floor!

Amber was a great host. Beautiful location right on the water. Gorgeous views and plenty of wildlife. Would highly recommend.

We really loved our time at the Strand. It was our first extended family road trip with our little one and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax, play, explore and create some lasting family memories. Jenn was personable and prompt in her replies. We really appreciated all the extra touches to make us feel welcome!

My boyfriend and I booked an early birthday getaway at Raylene's suite. It was spotless and very nicely decorated. The view was amazing! Walking around the beach and rocks at sunset was beautiful. The bed was SOOOOO comfy!!!! Communication was excelleny and Raylene was very helpful and super friendly. Can't wait to return for another beautiful relaxing stay! Thank you Raylene!!
