Qualicum Beach holiday cabin

In June 09 our family (2 adults and a 5 year old) spend 6 glorious days at this great cabin.

Where to begin. First the property; a very spacious and comfortable cabin with a breathtaking view from the sitting room & garden across the sound with the rockies in the back. With bald eagles crossing your view regularly. From the garden via a steep woodland trail you walk down towards the beach. Once your reach the bottom of the trail you will be greeted by harbour seals basking in the morning sun and who will get closer to take a view of you.
Bald eagles (at one time 15 in one sweeping view) fishing. And the tide pools gave us and our sun hours of exploration and fun.

It is an ideal jumping off point for, of course, the town of Qualicum which with its packed-sand beach and fun centre is a great place for a coffee, lunch or dinner. Didn't try this time but the golfcourse that runs through town looks appealing. Cathedral Grove is a short and beatiful drive. There is a swimming lake not 10km away and Tofino is a magnificent 2,5 hour not to be missed drive away. For us it was the perfect start to our Vancouver Island stay from which we went on to Telegraph Cove and the Northern part of Vancouver Island. On the way back we made sure to take a detour in to Qualicum just to have a last minute second taste of the place

I write with a bit of heartache and know I will be back. So if you are looking for seclusion and privacy, in your face beauty of nature, a very friendly owner, a comfortable cabin and a very pleasant town nearby this is it.
