My husband and I stayed just one night but we wished we had more nights at this cute place. It's cute, cozy, clean and comfortable. We love to find these kind of little places. Comfortable beds and nice linens are key and we weren't disappointed. Gorgeous setting, big beach and amazing view from all of the rooms. Very pleasant.

I am a travel and cruise consultant in Victoria, B.C. This place I highly recommend it is a quaint, oceanfront property, every room unique and well kept. You even get a little jug of fresh cream for your coffee. Spectacular sunsets, great beach, swimming and warm in the summer. Great shopping in Qualicum Beach and a short drive to Parksville.... More

Excellent reviews for this lodging are all well deserved. The accommodations as well as the entire property are beautifully presented to the traveler. Claire was a delight from our first phone conversation. At check-in she welcomed us as though we were already old friends. The addition of spiced cider and hot cocoa packets to the welcome tray was well received... More

Myself and family have been coming to Qualicum Beach for about 18 years normally twice a year because we love it here. The town, the beach is like a dream for us. What tops it all is having our favourite room in the Buena Vista, the peace, the view and especially having Claire and Rob as our hosts. The rooms... More

My friend and I have just returned to the U.K. after travelling for 4 weeks across Canada. After staying in hotels and motels across BC and Alberta, we were looking for a relaxing place to stay to end our trip, and "Buena Vista by the Sea" didn't disappoint at all. A totally gorgeous place to stay, with stunning views over... More

My parents, husband and I just returned from a week's stay at this motel. We had unit 6 which was on the beach level. It had a small kitchen but it was fairly well equipped.
