Beyond the Expected
Anyone looking for a great stay on Vancouver Island should consider this wonderful place. Located on quiet cut de sac up against a forest, this cottage is outfitted with all the comforts of home, i.e., complete kitchen, modern appliances, comfy beds, and clean as a whistle. The hosts we're prompt and cooperative in permitting me to charge the electric car overnight, which was a big help. Loved it!

The 4 of us had a great stay at Geraldine’s place. The cottage and property were gorgeous and we had everything we needed plus more. The back patio was lovely for morning coffees and an evening bbq. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Qualicum!

Great location with the kindest of hosts. Backed onto a peaceful green zone and beautiful patio. The hosts have the space furnished and stocked extremely thoughtfully, and having the laundry made it the perfect mid vacation stay for us. The suite was impeccably clean and airy... and an easy drive to get to allll the things. Hope to get back there again!

Great stay in Qualicum Beach
This is a really well appointed, self-contained apartment. Everything is very well maintained. It’s located in a pleasant area, on the edge of the town. The host, Geraldine, was very friendly. I can’t think of any criticisms at all. I’d happily return.

Excellent cottage
My family (two adults, two kids) thoroughly enjoyed our three nights. The cottage was well stocked, fresh and very clean, with beautiful patio area backing on forest. Evenings were super peaceful. We appreciated the delicious lemon loaf on arrival, it was a short drive to town and beach. Check in was easy, and we would definitely come back!

Quality Accommodations
The owners of this vacation cottage thought of absolutely everything to ensure our stay was perfect. Everyone of our needs were met in what was available and supplied. The rooms are all spacious and the outside patio area was like your own private backyard. This was probably the best VRBO property we have ever stayed at.

Fantastic stay for our family
We just got home from a lovely week long stay at this beautifully furnished cottage. We would 100% stay there again next time we visit Qualicum Beach. It had all the amenities needed, was spacious for our family of four and had a fantastic backyard for the kids to run around. Geraldine and her family are the most welcoming hosts - we can’t wait to come back soon!

Overall we had a great stay. Kitchen is well stocked and the entire unit is new and clean. The knives were even sharp! Both beds are firm! I would have preferred it being closer to the beach or being in a more walkable area.

Experience the Magic
Claymore Cottage is amazing. While the photos are a good representation, you have to be there to truly experience the magic. During our 8-night stay, my friend and I wanted to have some family members who live in the area for dinner. Each time we thought of a dish to prepare, we assumed the kitchen was not equipped to accommodate what we hoped to do. Boy, were we wrong - all the conveniences of home and equipped to put together a lovely dinner. The privacy was exceptional. We barbecued steaks on the gas grill provided, and enjoyed the peaceful outdoor patio. The patio faces an exquisite forested area and is completely private from the main house. The landscaping was recently completed and is very well thought out…can’t wait to see it as it matures. Every morning we awakened to deer and bunnies grazing on the property - such tranquility. The Cottage itself is immaculate and spacious. The large main bedroom has a king bed and double closets, while the secondary bedroom has a queen bed and a large, single closet. There is storage galore and lots and lots of towels, and dinner dishes to serve 12, so you won’t have to run the dishwasher everyday. In suite laundry is available, so pack light. Geraldine and Kris have provided a beautiful sanctuary - a home away from home. While the Cottage is very private and peaceful, it’s just 3 to 5 short minutes from the beach and from the heart of downtown Qualicum Beach. I highly recommend you come experience the magic first hand. Enjoy.
