About this property
Beachfront Cottage: Brick Fireplace + Ocean Deck
Welcome to your beachfront cottage retreat. Located just three doors from the famous Kingfisher Resort & Spa, easily walkable along the beach. With private beach access, ocean wildlife views, and a cozy interior anchored by a real brick fireplace, this home is ideal for couples, families, and dog lovers looking to unwind.
The living space is warm and inviting, with a fireplace stocked with included wood, and large windows framing ocean views. Outside, the deck overlooks the water, perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. There’s also an outdoor fire pit with Muskoka chairs (seasonal fire bans apply).
Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms: a king with ensuite, a queen, and a room with two double beds, all on a single level with just one step from the driveway. The kitchen is updated and includes a server’s window to the dining area. The bathroom shows its age, but the home is clean, well-stocked, and full of character.
Amenities include: • Pack-and-play & high chair • Books, board games, and binoculars • Smart TVs in living room & master • BBQ, Keurig, and drip coffee • Fast Wi-Fi & workspace • Large driveway w/ turnaround (set 50 yards from road)
The beach is rocky, not sandy, great for walks, dogs, or wildlife viewing. While fully dog-friendly, the yard is not fenced. Please check local fire restrictions before using the outdoor pit. Whether you’re reading by the fire or exploring the shoreline, this is a relaxed, memorable place to recharge.

Great location with an amazing view. We now know where our puppy's new happy place is. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and easy to use TV setup. Loved being able to have fires inside and out! Will definitely be back.

Thanks for the kind review Ingrid, so happy to hear you had a great stay. The wood fireplace is a nice place to spend a cold winter evening in front of :)
Excellent location. A few small things arose and owner was very responsive.

Thanks for the review,
Glad the location worked well for your stay, and I’m happy we could sort out those small things quickly. Appreciate you choosing the cottage.
This is a beautiful, older, laid-back cottage with easy access to the beach. We had a great time here and our host was very accomodating. We needed to relax and that's what we did.

Happy to hear you enjoyed the cottage and had the chance to really unwind by the beach. Thanks for being such easy going guests, we’d love to have you back anytime.
If you want to be on the ocean, close to amenities but far enough that you feel you’re on a magical escape, this is the place. We enjoyed the view, the fire pits (inside and out), and will be back for sure.
We are three seniors who needed a place to stay near Merville. Having a bedroom for each was a huge bonus. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is clean.
We had a lovely, quiet week here. The property was nice and private and we enjoyed walks on the beach, reading on the deck (enjoying the view), and exploring nearby communities. The check-in and check-out instructions were really clear and the layout of the house worked well for me, my husband, our son, and my mom.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet setting, the beach walks, and time on the deck taking in the view. It’s great to hear the cottage worked well for you, your family, and your mom. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
My brother and I enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable and the shared living space was perfect. While we were right on the water, the beach (shown in advertising) is far down the shoreline, not directly in front of the house. The grounds leading to the waterfront is overgrown. I'd still recommend it as a great place to stay.

We’re glad you and your brother enjoyed the stay, found the beds comfortable, and had space to relax together. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation, we’d be happy to host you again.
We loved Sunny Shores! This house is perfect and provides everything you need for rainy days and sunny days alike. Great proximity to all the fun in the Comox valley!
We had an amazing family vacation. The home was amazing and the beach time was spectacular! The host was amazing to work with and I'm sure we will be back!!!
Lovely house located right on the ocean. Large property, no noise from neighbours, easy to get to nearby shops etc. Lots of windows to admire the view, comfy lounge room. Nice place to relax.
We really enjoyed our long weekend at Sunnyshore. The house was perfect for our family (all 3 kids had their own beds!). The kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed and well stocked. We were lucky to have a storm day and got to watch the big waves from the cozy living room facing the beach. We hope to come back again when we come to the area!
Sunnyshore was a perfect spot for our family of five plus our two doggies. It is very well equipped, the view of the ocean is lovely and it’s a short drive to Courtenay and not too far to Mt. Washington.
Everything worked and the host is very responsive and helpful!
We had a wonderful holiday here. The home had everything you could want, it was spacious and clean. We were able to enjoy the beach that was literally on our doorstep. The views were perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back again!
Very pet friendly - they provided a bed and bowls. Our dog had a blast running on the beach every day. Thanks again for a great stay in your awesome home.
What an awesome property. Beautiful home, comfy with everything we needed. Amazing deck we drank our morning coffees on, a sunny beach where we worked on our tans and a nice evening by the fire. Close to food and drink. The cleaner Joycelyn was leaving as we arrived, a super friendly welcome, the house was clean and smealt amazing.
