About this property

Awesome 3 Bedroom Ocean and Beach Front French Creek Rancher

Columbia Beach House is a spacious and beautifully appointed oceanfront home located in a quiet neighborhood in Parksville BC on Vancouver Island. This distinctive single level, 3200 sq foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large office with computer and printer, high speed WiFi internet, a gourmet kitchen with huge island and custom cherry cabinetry, living and dining rooms separated by a double-sided gas fireplace, laundry room, central vacuum, air conditioning, 2 car garage and large landscaped lot. The stunning ocean views can be enjoyed throughout the house from the master bedroom along with its ensuite bathroom and attached art studio, living room, dining room, breakfast room and kitchen.

Columbia Beach House is situated on a flat, extensively landscaped lot with 100 feet of walk-on beach front. The ocean side of the house features multiple patios, a gazebo and gas BBQ grill. From here you can see the mountains on both Vancouver Island and the mainland of BC, as well as the many islands dotting the Strait of Georgia. Wildlife is abundant where bald eagles and sea lions can be seen within view. Listen to seals bark and the calls of over 60 species of waterfowl, and with a little luck you may catch a glimpse of a killer whale passing by. As the day turns to evening, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset and watch the fishing boats and cruise ships making their way through the sparkling ocean waters.

You will feel the tension ease the moment you walk through the doors of Columbia Beach House and catch your first glimpse of the panoramic ocean view. The breakfast room, dining room, living room and master bedroom all have double French doors leading out onto the patios, so regardless of whether you are waking up in the king size bed in the master bedroom, soaking in the jetted tub, finding inspiration in the art studio, enjoying your morning coffee in the breakfast sunroom, serving dinner for eight at the beautiful teak dining table, or relaxing with a good book by the dramatic floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace in the living room, you will be able to savor the spectacular view. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and an exquisite master bath complete with radiant heat in the slate floor and a no-step door-less shower. Suitable for family gatherings, the guest room has two double beds and the third bedroom has two sets of bunk beds that will delight children or adults alike with its cozy nautical theme. Sliding glass pocket doors open into a huge living/entertainment room in the center of the house. Heading towards the back of the house, you will find an enormous laundry room with tiled floors. The fenced yard can be accessed from the laundry room, the garage, or the fully tiled pet grooming room complete with a raised tub. Throughout the house you will find unique tile work, custom cabinetry, and many other unique and exceptional touches that make this a truly magnificent home.

Columbia Beach House is located in French Creek, BC on beautiful and picturesque Vancouver Island. Golfers will find 7 courses to choose from in the area. A short 5 km drive south will take you to Parksville where you will find all the services and amenities you will need. Expansive sandy beaches around Parksville have earned it the nickname Canada's Riviera and are host to the Canadian Open Sandcastle Competition every summer. Travel 5 km north to Qualicum Beach and explore its many galleries, shops and restaurants. The central island location is perfect for day trips to explore the natural grandeur of Vancouver Islands mountains, rain forests and coastline, experience the world's best salmon fishing, surf on the west coast at Long Beach, or explore the magic of Victoria.

Whether you are seeking a relaxing escape, a romantic getaway, a family gathering, or a home base for unlimited outdoor activities, Columbia Beach House will offer you unforgettable experience.

Please note that Columbia Beach House has a 1 month minimum stay requirement.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Liked: This property is located in a quiet neighborhood and the vista of the ocean is spectacular. There were numerous grand sunrises and tranquil sunsets. Being ocean front one got to witness a lot of sea life (seals, whales, otters) and many birds of all kinds from Robins, Canadian geese, Eagles and multiple kinds of seagulls. One night we had a creature walk right past the windows. It had the markings/long tail of an Elakha, member of the otter family. It was around three and a half feet long. The house had lots of room for the two of us to spread out our hobbies of painting and quilting. The artist nook off the primary bedroom is one of the reasons we rented the property. This is a pet friendly home. We have no dogs so the slight animal odors took a little getting used to. Running the furnace fan continuously helped. There are lots of dishes, glasses, mugs, pots and pans (but could use a new set because the lack of lids). Nice to have a coffee maker and a Keurig. We made use of the filtered water jug as the tap water had lots of chlorine. Things we did: We took a watercolor and ink painting course at TOSH (The Old School House gallery) in Qualicum Beach. This has to be booked well in advance of you trip as their many classes always sell out. We traveled 35 minutes north to Buckley Bay, then ferried to Denman Island and then to Hornby Island to go to the secluded Helliwell Provincial Park. There is no picnic area but we packed a lunch and ate at the parking lot then walked the 2 hour forest trails and cliffs along the ocean. Amazing views. Great places we ate were The Black Bird Schnitzel House in Qualicum Beach and Final Approach Restaurant at the Qualicum Airport. Disliked: This house is needs TLC. The wall oven LED digital face was unreadable. The bottom rack of the older dishwasher needs replacing. The coating is worn off and is causing rust stains on the back of the dishes. The kitchen nook glass ceiling has been leaking water and has caused damag
