My grandmother used to live in Qualicum Beach about 25 years ago. I hadn't been back since then,…read moreso when work took me to Vancouver I decided to make a trip of it and head over to the island for a couple of days. I found this bed and breakfast on hotels.com and it had rave reviews. I had no idea what to expect as B&Bs can truly be hit or miss (I've stayed in many throughout the world). Boy were my husband and I pleasantly surprised. Not only is this B&B adorable, but it's also quiet, owned by an amazing and kind couple (Angelo and Jayne), is extremely clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Jayne was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. She explained the house and the amenities thoroughly upon check-in and provided excellent service without being overbearing which I loved. Great service for sure. We received a key to our room and also a key to the front door so we could come and go as we pleased. There was a little sitting/common area in the entry that they always left a nightlight on so we weren't lost in the dark coming back to the hotel. Jayne also had a mini fridge in the common area full of bottled water, and she even tucked some milk in there for my tea. Our room was very spacious with a king sized bed, full bathroom, TV, and a gas fireplace on a thermostat control. Everything was meticulously cleaned and we felt so comfortable and relaxed. Jayne let us know that whatever time we preferred to have breakfast would be perfect for them. Upon awaking after our first night (which we slept like the dead in our cozy and quiet room), we walked through the main part of the house to the dining area where Angelo made us an amazing breakfast. The spread was amazing and right from meeting both Jayne and Angelo you can tell they are very passionate about serving people. My only complaint is that we were only there for 36 hours and I wish we could have stayed longer! Great great place to stay if you are heading to Qualicum Beach or the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this place and I will stay there again for sure the next time we visit! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Once on land, we then drive north along the eastern coast into Qualicum Beach and our destination lodging, "At Nautica Tigh Bed and Breakfast". Nestled within a wooded area is a converted private residence offering three individual rooms; ours is the upper deck area complete with fireplace, an open plan area with queen bed, comfy quilted bed spread, downy pillows, a pull-out double sleeper, cozy sofa and TV area, country style eat-in table and chairs, kitchen area with fridge, micro-wave, toaster oven, and ALL the kitchen supplies you will ever need! Our fridge and counter top had already been stocked with tomorrow's breakfast to avoid disturbing us in the AM; fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea, bagels, bread, spreads, hot and cold cereals, granola. A full bathroom offers a large shower stall and vanity with lots of room. Overall, our setting is similar to that of a cabin in the country with all the conveniences of home. Parking for our SUV was found in front of the steps leading up to our upper deck room and could not have been more convenient. As we get settled in, the sun can be seen setting on the horizon through the woods adjacent to our cottage; the Strait of Georgia can be seen clearly beyond the shore line. This is truly a beautiful yet rugged forested area just waiting to be explored! We soon meet Karen, our host and Owner. Karen greets us warmly and makes certain that all of our requests, if any, are accommodated. Pros: Everything Cons: None Tips: When in Qualicum Beach, plan on visiting nearby Coombs, Kitty Coleman Beach Park, Rathtrevor Beach, Milner Gardens & Woodland, and Old Country Market.

Island Hwy, Qualicum Beach; facing the Strait; best cocktails and food in the area only minutes from Nautica Tigh.

Cornerstones is a great bed and breakfast! On a recent overnight stay in beautiful Qualicum Beach,…read morewe had the opportunity to experience Carmen and John's charming accommodation. Our initial impressions of the home, both inside and out, were impressive. It is immaculately clean and tidy, and the hosts' attention to detail is evident everywhere. Live plants, antique furniture, and original art immediately made an impression on us upon entering the welcoming and spacious foyer. A short flight of stairs took us up to the guests' common area. A small kitchen area with a coffee machine, microwave, mini fridge, and sink are available for guests to use at any time in an area that includes a sofa, fireplace, and dining table. Morning coffee or tea is served here by the gracious hosts, and a delicious breakfast complete with homemade preserves is included! Adjoining the common area are the two large suites. Our room, the Sunrise, was especially comfortable with an antique table and chairs, tasteful art, quality linens, and a large private balcony. A flat screen television and guest wifi are also included. The spotless ensuite bathroom, complete with a soaker tub and walk-in shower, was an added bonus, as was the mini-fridge with complimentary soda water. After settling into the king-sized bed for the night, we had, without a doubt, one of the most comfortable and restful sleeps we've ever experienced away from home! And Cornerstones' location is fantastic! The quaint town centre with its numerous restaurants, shops, and theatre, is only a few minutes' walk away, and the famous beachfront is a ten to fifteen minute walk. We'd return to Cornerstones without any hesitation. Highly recommended!
