Great Location

The house is definitely old and has some quirks but overall it had everything we needed and the beachfront was amazing.

Perfect oceanfront location for the family

Amazing place for a family vacation! The house is big, bright (these huge windows!), and well stocked with everything necessary for the stay. The backyard has some mature trees, so lots of nice shade that we loved during the latest heat wave, and direct access to water - the slope is gentle, so water is shallow for a while and then gets deeper for comfortable swimming or paddle boarding. Our kids loved that. There is even a swing in the yard! The house is close to an awesome seafood restaurant, a ferry to Denman Island, and only 20 minutes drive from Courtenay. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back!

Relaxed, comfortable home in great location

This is a spacious home in a great location - right on the waterfront with a lovely garden leading to the shore - and in a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Herons, seals, birds - peace, water and mountain views. Lovely. This is a 1970's ? home - or thereabouts - so if you are looking for new granite countertops etc, don't come here. It's dated, and has some tatty elements, BUT it is spacious, it's well equipped, the beds are comfy, there's plenty of hot water, and the outside deck is just perfect for eating outside. We were disappointed to only have 1 towel provided per couple, and the pillows were old, but if you bring your own towels and pillows, this is a lovely house to stay in for a relaxed family vacation where the dog is welcome too. We hope to go back again :)

Short stay

We used the house as a hub for a couple of days of cycling. The cycling was great. The location of the house was excellent except the water in front of the house disappears into mud flats at low tide. The issues were related to the filthiness of the house and the associated bad smells. The worst that I have ever encountered. One of two showers was unusable due to a broken shower door. On arrival, the dishwasher was full. The sheets were not put on the beds. There were no towels put out. In short no preparation for paying guests. In summary this facility is NOT RECOMMENDED.

Awesome Stay!

Our family stayed at Fanny Bay for about a week and didn't want to leave! Wished we had booked a couple of days longer! Large house with everything you need in a quiet location with great water access and a fantastic backyard with lots of trees. Check-in was super easy and the communication with Matt was great too. I spoke to Matt prior to our arrival and he was so kind to provide some tips for things to do in the area. We had one little hiccup there was a part of the BBQ that needed to be replaced but after reaching out to Matt he sent somebody to take care of it within a couple of hours. The house is a bit older but in a comfortable way and it was definitely the best-equipped cottage we have ever been to with e.g., extra beach towels, laundry/dryer, some kitchen staples, boogie boards, and even some outdoor kids’ toys and more. There were only small things that could use minor repairs or a quick check before new arrivals get in; the screen door for the patio was missing, the door in the downstairs bathroom kept coming out of its rail and in one of the drawers in the downstairs bedroom, somebody had forgotten some personal items. However, the location and property with direct water access and the beautiful view across the bay far outweighed any of these minor flaws. We definitely will be back!

We had a wonderful mini getaway. The home was perfect for our family (two adults, two children and a dog). Being able to walk out into the backyard and be right on the beach was incredible. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need to cook. The BBQ on the deck was super handy, and the wood burning fireplace added a lovely touch of warmth. The amenities for the kids to play with down on the beach was an added bonus as we did not think we were going to have nice weather so didn't not pack and spades, buckets, etc. We also had a fire down on the beach and it was delightful! The neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We liked how it was actually lived in, as sometimes you go places and all the homes around you are empty due to them all being holiday homes. Great walks along the beach for the dog and Courtenay is super close with all the shops you would need for groceries, etc. Overall, we had such an amazing time and can't wait to come back!

Great location, with privacy and quiet, shady deck to sit on (the best feature of the house). Property shows some neglect - dead plants around front door and on deck, recycling and garbage outside secondary door (also at the front of the property) on our arrival (did not smell good), musty smell in house, some upgrades (eg bath and floors) but kitchen cabinets old, china and cutlery mismatched, bedding old and poor quality, found hairs in the bath when we arrived. Would have appreciated binder of instructions on accessing wifi, recycling, local information. Expensive for what it was - at the price we paid I expected better.

Beautiful views from the yard & deck

We stayed for 3 days and the views from the deck and yard we awesome. The property is like a diamond in the rough and with a few improvements would be outstanding. We enjoyed our stay and visited with many friends in the area. Lots of bird watching and wildlife sightings! Thanks,

Not like pictures on listing

It was musty, moldy smelling. Oatio, garden area's were not cleaned up. The firepit was nothing like the pictures, it was overgrown so legally you could not have a fire if you wanted. VERY OVER PRICED.

I have photos to prove all of the issues. This property should not be rented!! Our friends traveled from the UK and southern USA and had to stay in this dump. We were embarrased!

Großartige Lage

Das Ferienhaus hat alles gehabt, was man braucht. Eigentlich gab es sogar viel mehr noch, bisher das best ausgestattete Ferienhaus in dem wir waren. Wir in den anderen Kommentaren schon geschrieben ist es nicht alles brandneu, aber es ist eben alles da und man kann direkt am Wasser sitzen.

House is desperately dated - and not in a funky retro way. Likely developing problems with drainage fields given the rotting odours in the basement.

Comfortable home in a lovely, relaxing location

Our family spent a few nights here and truly did not want to leave! I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, but I had to round up. :) The house is older, but in that comfy, homey way that is relaxing because you don't have to worry about everything being too precious and your kids breaking something. There is a zipline and swing in the big, grassy backyard that rolls right down to the sea. Bring your water shoes for swimming in these lovely, clear, warm waters, because the sea floor is littered with rocks and barnacles and oysters and other wonderful things to discover. At low tide the bay can turn temporarily into mud flats for easy crab hunting--and not to worry, the tide will be back in a couple of hours! There was a SUP, kayak and few boogie boards available for use as well--pretty awesome. The dryer was broken (it happened the day of our arrival, and we were fine using solar power to dry our things) and the oven ended up refusing to turn on, but Matt dropped off a giant toaster oven for us to use instead. Ultimately, this place was so happy and relaxing that we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Labour Day Stay

We had a great stay here in Fanny Bay. The house is as advertised, a bit old, but the property is fantastic. There is a zip line, kayak and SUP with life jackets which made the trip extra fun for the kids. Easy day trips to the beaches in Comox as well. Will stay again.

Would do it again

Our stay was very comfortable. The only downside was that the bbq propane tank was near empty so our first dinner there was a little ‘rare’. He did come back the next day and replace the tank but it should be checked on a regular basis. Other than that, and a limited supply of tp and paper towels, it was a great property to relax and share good times.
