I rented the cottage to visit our daughter who lives on the island and celebrate my wife’s birthday. The cottage was perfect. The location was what we were looking for. Lots of trails for biking and hiking which we enjoyed. Short walk to the ocean where we seen seals every day. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Andrea was a great host.

Great, comfortable cottage in a nice, quiet setting. Very relaxing!
Very relaxing and well put together cottage. Situated really close Comox / Courtney and right beside Seal Bay Park. Great for dog walks and taking in the ocean air. Andrea was able to answer any questions and a great host. Martin Amy Kara
We really enjoyed our stay in this very clean and comfy home! It was close enough to the city to enjoy the amenities but also removed enough to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.
This lovely, quiet cottage is situated on a cul de sac. Two steps from the property is the entrance to Seal Bay Nature Park. The cottage is modern and well equipped. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Everything from cookware to bedding is top notch quality. I will come back again and again. Thank you.
VRBO listing accurate. Did not have time to explore the pathway beside the cottage which intrigued me but the visit was spent with family time. Cottage is well equipped and beautifully decorated. Cozy with lots of blankets and pillows useful on cool nights sitting outside beside the propane fire pit under the stars which we enjoyed. Hosts quickly responded to questions accommodating special request. Quiet dead end street in ideal country setting yet only minutes to town.
This cottage is bright, spacious, very clean and well laid out with all the amenities one could want. It’s easy to find and check-in is a breeze. The property is quiet and at night there’s no city lights to obstruct star gazing. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.
Very well equiped in all aspects. Stylish comfortable furnishings, very comfortable beds, lovely quiet area, clean. The person who runs this property cares about it and it shows.
Excellent place for awesome weekend. The cottage was very private and had easy access to the park and trails. Thank you. We would highly recommend this property.
Andrea and Scott have a cozy, welcoming cottage with everything you might need for a family stay. We were in town for a family reunion with four adults. Five-star comfort and tranquility.
Loved the outside sitting area and table fireplace.
We had a wonderful time at the Parkside Cottage. We traveled with our toddler and small dog, and felt right at home. The cottage was well equipped and kid friendly. The fenced yard was great for our dog and toddler to run around. The location is right beside the Seal Bay Park trailhead, which had wonderful trails. I highly recommend this property!
Beautiful cottage, modern, bright, very clean and tidy, very well supplied with cooking supplies and equipment, lovely outdoor seating with gas fire, right next to hiking trails.
The house was really lovely and like new. Nicely appointed with any kitchen gadget you could need and the overall amenities were great.
We had our dog with us and it was wonderful having a fully enclosed lot around the house. It’s next door to a gorgeous trail system in the forest with access to Seal Bay park.
We’ll definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Pelly
Hi, we are your hosts, Scott and Andrea Pelly. We are a family of 4 that moved from North Vancouver in August 2021 to this beautiful acreage in the Comox Valley. We love the space our new property provides us. We both like to work in the yard and Scott can pursue his woodworking passion. We enjoy all the things to do in the beautiful Comox Valley. We had been vacationing here for years skiing and Mountian biking on Mount Washington Alpine Resort and finally decided to call this home. We welcome you to our cottage!
Why they chose this property
We are located down a short quiet gravel road which gives you the feeling you have escaped city life, yet all the conveniences only a 10 min. drive away. Our property backs onto Seal Bay Nature Reserve with an endless trail system.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique as we have a trailhead to Seal Bay Nature Reserve beside the cottage. Only steps away from enjoying this park.
