Amazing stay. Sandpiper Manor is a beautiful, quiet and nature-filled escape. We enjoyed a restorative and pleasurable time. Kate and Cleo’s (pup) spot has everything you need and they are friendly and welcoming hosts. We loved our time there and look forward to our next stay.

A wonderful relaxing stay

We absolutely loved this spot. The accommodation was top notch, beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We especially enjoyed being able to sit in the beautiful gardens and watch the tide and activity on the water. The accommodation is on the Royston Seaside trail which we walked every day. If we have occasion to come back to this are we will definitely stay here!!!

Beautiful home, beautiful location. This a taste of island life. The property is amazing BUT not entirely private as the owner lives on site and you will see and interact with her daily. She is a lovely woman and not intrusive. I would definitely stay here again.

Ocean view garden property

We really enjoyed the location, quick access to an ocean side trail which we walked a couple of times a day with our dog. The property has beautiful gardens with quiet nooks for sitting and reading or enjoying the view! The suite is very well designed and has everything you need!

Great spot to access world class mountain biking

We had a wonderful stay at the Sandpiper! Wonderful location, close to a large mountain biking network! We really appreciated the clean and practical layout of the place. The sea view was stunning ! Cate was a perfect hostess, lots of information to share with us. We won’t forget about sweet Cleo’s post ride greetings, what a good dog!

Comox Valley retreat

We had a lovely spring break getaway to Vancouver Island. Kate’s suite had everything we needed for our stay. Close to town and biking but it feels like you are in the country. Backs onto water and walking trail. My dog Chloe loved it also and enjoyed Kate’s dog Cleo. Thank you for your hospitality.

A little slice of heaven!

We spent a lovely 3 nights at Kate’s property, and enjoyed every minute! We loved walking the seaside path right at the foot of the yard, and had the best sleep in ages! Had a wee problem with the fire alarm going off a couple of times, but she is trying to get this sorted.We cooked most of our meals in, and found the kitchen well equipped, and it was wonderful sitting under the grape arbor with a glass of wine every afternoon! We will definitely book again when we head up island in the future!

A Beautiful Rural Retreat in the Countryside

We stayed only one night but wished it could’ve been longer. Great attention to little details and loved the owner’s artwork. Thoroughly enjoyed the lovely walk with our dog on the riverside trail behind the property.

Wonderful 5 days at Sandpiper Manor

As the property owner Kate checked us in promptly, toured us around her beautiful property, and even had us help ourselves to champagne grapes growing in her yard. Our unit was comfortable, clean and very well located with beach views and wonderful walking path directly out front. We hope to return next year.
