Would definitely stay here again
My husband and I together with my elderly parents stayed at this delightful cottage for a week. The cottage is located in a friendly, quiet neighbourhood close to walking trails and the beach. Everything was clean and all the essentials were provided. We had an issue with the wifi on day 4 and the owners were quick to remedy the problem. We couldn’t have enjoyed more.

Cozy oceanfront cabin
Perfect little cabin for our family. It was a nice safe place for our kids to run around and explore. It would be great if there was a fence, trees or something to create a bit more privacy between the two cabins, We would love to book again!

Heaven
There is a very peaceful vibe to this property. Our days were determined by the tides and the calls and songs of several different birds. We sat on the chairs and stared at the ocean. The cottage has all you may need. It was spotless and communication with Rosalie was super easy. Book it!

Just What The Dr Ordered
What a wonderful place! It is so cozy and is right on the ocean front making for a lovely, relaxing vacation. It is close to parks, beaches and wineries, and also...the views from the cabin are incredible! Can't beat it. The hosts were very friendly and communication was easy and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be coming here again.

Perfect Get-Away
This is a very comfortable and cozy vacation property conveniently located on the ocean near the Comox Valley. So clean and well equipped right down to the lovely touch of fresh flower bouquets. We watched otters, a whale, herons and kingfishers right in front of us on the Salish Sea as well as the passing cruise ships. The beautiful Seal Bay Nature Park is nearby and provides many excellent walking trails. This property is perfect for a quiet retreat or a fun family vacation.

BC Beauty
This was a very much needed rest from a stressful year at work! It was also an amazing time to reconnect with family, my sister from Texas came who we haven’t seen for a few years, before Covid. This place was so peaceful and beautiful. It was comfortable and had everything you could want in an oceanfront cottage. We made lots of use of the hot tub; watching the blue heron catch fish and the feisty Kingfisher hovering before diving for a feast. Fantastic ! We did see Harbour seals bathing on a rock, and we think the fins of either a dolphin or whale but no close sightings. Still not at all disappointed and will definitely recommend! The only downfall is the rockiness going out to the water.

Beautiful sunrise
Had a wonderful week with my friend and our pups.....got some lovely relaxing time watching the ocean and wildlife.... This is our second time staying and we most definitely will be coming back next year! My only wish would be for a fenced-in yard, so pups don't need to be on a leash. Other than that, I highly recommend The cottages at Udina Bay.

A Little Piece of Heaven
We loved everything about the cottage: the beds were comfortable, the living room furniture inviting, the kitchen well equipped. But the best part were the views! To wake up every morning watching the sun rise behind the coastal range across the Strait was simply magical! Our dogs enjoyed the beach walks at low tide, we enjoyed having a place to hose them and us off and relax in the hot tub. Check in and out was easy. Rosalie even brought us the occasional bag of fresh vegetables from her garden! Staying a month, we met some of the neighbors and enjoyed talking to them across the fence and on our walks. If only it wasn't a 2000 mile trip, we'd be back every year!

Cozy cabin with ocean view
Our family of 3 adults and one youth stayed for 4 nights. It is a cozy cabin overlooking a rocky beach in a quiet location. The cabin beds were comfy, ample reclining sofas, and and awesome view of the ocean and the mountains across the water on the main lands. Check in and communication with the owners was quick and easy. Seal bay nature park was near by, easily accessible by walking to the various park entrances or a quick drive and the walking trails are well maintained. We would definitely stay again!

A magical place
We had an amazing time. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and very quiet - a perfect getaway. The views out over Georgia Straight were incredible - from the outdoor hot tub no less. It was Herring spawning season, so we saw so much wildlife right in front of the house. Seal Bay Nature Park is also just a short walk along the beach. Mount Washington a 40 Minute drive for some great skiing. Thank you for a magical stay at your house.

About the host

Hosted by Rosalie Crofford

Host profile image
We have lived in the Comox Valley most of our lives and owned this property since the early 1960's. In 2012 the cottage was rebuilt from the foundation up so it is new, modern, comfortable and a great place to relax and unwind. We wanted to share it's beauty.

Why they chose this property

We love and appreciate nature, quiet, the ocean, the mountain views and above all privacy therefore this was the perfect property for us, which we now wish to share with others.

What makes this property unique

The views, sound of the ocean lapping on the shore, watching the wildlife and cruise ships (in season) go by along with the peace and serenity make this an enjoyable place to kick back.
