Unfortunately the building was under construction, our first day the water was shut off and the host never responded to me regarding this and to let us know when the water would come back on. There was drilling and hammering in the condo next to us the next day, and the remaining 5 days they were putting a new roof on, which was very noisy all day and extremely messy which we walked through and over all day. On our final day a hydronic pump went off at 6:00 am right under the bedroom window which woke us. I feel we should have been warned about the construction and offered an alternative place or a reduction in cost. This was not a pleasant, relaxing environment.

Nice place, close to the main drag and the beach. It even had a wine stopper. Good shower, good bed. Host came by when we had a problem -- good guy.

I booked this as a last-minute extension of a work trip to visit with some friends in the area. This was the coziest apartment in a great area! So walkable and super close to the beach. Thanks, Justin, for letting me stay in your place for a bit - I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Great location

Loved location. However the stairs leading up to the unit are very steep and could be a problem. Would probably stay in a larger space .

Fantastic Ocean Getaway

The Cozy Cove had a great location for checking out Oceanside. We were able to walk to many different businesses for shopping, and coffee. A short drive to the pier, harbour, and train station for some additional adventures. Wonderful place to rest your head at night and relax!
