We had such a lovely stay here in Royston. Kate was a phenomenal host, the location was beautiful and convenient, and it was the perfect size for me, my partner and our dog. We would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the comox valley.

Our stay here was better than we imagined. Kate and Cleo are awesome hosts. The suite is wonderful. The property was filled with trees, plants and flowers. The proximity to the beach was a boon for us. We loved walking on the Royston Seaside Trail. Watching the tide waxing and waning made our trip memorable.

We had a great stay at Kate's. The location is unbelievable. Right on the ocean path. You can get to the mall in Courtenay through it, so I walked a few times with my son to Cobb's. The other way leads to a famous coffee shop, a bit on the expensive side, but the pastries are to die for. Coffee could be amazing, but I wouldn't know. I spent almost my entire time when we weren't away outside, staring at the water and the herons. Lots of space outside where you can find shade and a comfy chair or table.Whatever we needed we just had to ask. Kate even washed and folded our laundry!

We were greeted with a fresh bowl of grapes and apples that were harvested from the yard.The host lives upstairs and granted us all the privacy we wanted.Beautiful view of the water with direct access to walking trails and only 5 minutes from shopping and dining.Highly recommend!

Beautiful location, not as quiet as the neighbourhood

I have nothing but praise regarding the location and the large, private outdoor space. The inside is tastefully decorated and the quality of linens, towels are quite nice. What soured our stay here was the pump that came on every 20 seconds when the water ran. I’m not talking about a regular sounding humming pump (of which I’ve lived with all my life). I’m talking about a grinding pump that almost broke the sound barrier. It came on five times during a three minute shower! Additionally, the fire alarm from upstairs at 9:30 pm didn’t help when we were trying to sleep for a 3am departure. As for cleanliness, it looked clean upon arrival, but we dealt with two large spiders in the bathroom in well established webs, the floor was sandy, and there were dust balls around the floor lamp. I’m not certain where the cleaning fee goes here, but they need a new vacuum.

Amazing stay. Sandpiper Manor is a beautiful, quiet and nature-filled escape. We enjoyed a restorative and pleasurable time. Kate and Cleo’s (pup) spot has everything you need and they are friendly and welcoming hosts. We loved our time there and look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful home, beautiful location. This a taste of island life. The property is amazing BUT not entirely private as the owner lives on site and you will see and interact with her daily. She is a lovely woman and not intrusive. I would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful relaxing stay

We absolutely loved this spot. The accommodation was top notch, beautifully appointed and super comfortable. We especially enjoyed being able to sit in the beautiful gardens and watch the tide and activity on the water. The accommodation is on the Royston Seaside trail which we walked every day. If we have occasion to come back to this are we will definitely stay here!!!

A little slice of heaven!

We spent a lovely 3 nights at Kate’s property, and enjoyed every minute! We loved walking the seaside path right at the foot of the yard, and had the best sleep in ages! Had a wee problem with the fire alarm going off a couple of times, but she is trying to get this sorted.We cooked most of our meals in, and found the kitchen well equipped, and it was wonderful sitting under the grape arbor with a glass of wine every afternoon! We will definitely book again when we head up island in the future!

Ocean view garden property

We really enjoyed the location, quick access to an ocean side trail which we walked a couple of times a day with our dog. The property has beautiful gardens with quiet nooks for sitting and reading or enjoying the view! The suite is very well designed and has everything you need!
