Nothing defines what the quintessential vacation beach house is better than the amazing Kye Bay Winter Beach House located in Comox on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island.
This gated, oceanfront 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage is an ideal place to go for a cozy, cold-weather holiday on beautiful Vancouver Island.
Located in the picturesque Comox Valley, this vacation rental offers guests comfortable living spaces, incredible ocean views and beach access for unbeatable storm watching and an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
As you drive through the gates of Kye Bay Beach House, you will be welcomed by the cheerful cottage and ocean beyond. Park in the covered driveway right at the front entrance that provides shelter for you to comfortably unload your luggage in inclement weather.
As you step into the home, you will be immediately greeted by the cozy modern, cottage-style kitchen. With white shaker cabinetry, modern, free standing hood vent, built in-island range, and top of the line wine fridge and dedicated bar sink, this fully stocked, refurbished kitchen is both impressive and comfortable. No matter what your culinary needs are, whether you are making cocoa, muddling a winter cocktail, or whipping up your favourite seasonal comfort food, this kitchen is the perfect size.
Beyond the kitchen, you will find a large, comfortable living room and dining area under the soaring, shed-style ceiling that creates openness and allows for light to fill the room, even on the darkest winter days. In the living room, guests will find a comfortable six seat sectional, plush armchairs, and a large flat screen TV. Curl up in an armchair and enjoy a good book while the rain patters on the window or recline on the sofa and binge your favourite series or watch the storms roll in over the waves.
The adjacent dining area seats up to six people around the solid, farmhouse-style oak table. Here you can enjoy cozy meals together and it makes a wonderful spot to enjoy a cocktail and a board game on those long winter nights.
Through the sliding glass doors in the dining area, you can access the conservatory, an elegant way to enjoy indoor/outdoor living in any weather. This is a great spot to sip your morning coffee under a blanket and watch the sun rise over the water.
On the main floor, guests will also find one of the three bedrooms outfitted with a comfortable queen bed and plenty of storage space to organize your luggage.
The main floor is completed by a three-piece bathroom off the kitchen that includes a walk-in shower and large vanity as well as a laundry room with full sized side-by-side washer and dryer units.
On the second floor, guests will find two bedrooms and a full bathroom off the open, second story landing. Both bedrooms are furnished with queen sized beds and warm wood furniture with plenty of space for your things but one of the bedrooms has an additional private, west-facing balcony and is the perfect place to catch a glimpse of one of Comox's famous winter sunsets.
The bathroom on the second floor is a tasteful and immaculately renovated three-piece suite with large, walk-in shower stall, incredible lighting, small window for circulation and wide vanity to ensure that guests who are sharing this space have ample room for their toiletries.
Located just steps away from one of the most beloved, local sandy beaches, this cottage is the perfect location for winter seaside family holidays or group getaways. At low tide, bundle up to explore the expansive shoreline, try to catch a glimpse of the local marine wildlife and groups with children will love having a colourful playground near the beach for dry days.
Kye Bay Beach House is in an ideal location to explore so much of what the Central-North Island has to offer. During ski season, the alpine resort of Mt. Washington is an easy 45 minutes away to the west where you can find incredible downhill skiing and snowboarding as well as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding!
Explore some of the natural wonders of the Island and have once-in-a-lifetime experiences by booking a ecotour or fishing charter during off-peak season in Campbell River, 40 minutes north of Kye Bay.
Comox, Courtenay, and neighbouring Cumberland all have incredible town centres where you can easily spend a wintery afternoon exploring stunning farm-to-table dining, incredible craft beer and locally owned boutiques. For everyday groceries and amenities, the local Crown Isle Plaza on Ryan Rd. is where you will find the popular local market, Thrifty Foods, liquor store, pizza, Starbucks, and hardware store.
The Kye Bay Beach House is easy to access and close to many travel access points. The Comox Valley Airport YQQ offers flights from two major Canadian carriers and is only five minutes away from the property.
If you are arriving from Vancouver by ferry, the Nanaimo ferry terminal is an easy hour drive on Highway 19, Swartz Bay ferry terminal is three and a half hours away and the capital city of Victoria is a three-hour drive away from the cottage.

We loved the home. It was very comfortable and clean. The location was perfect. We loved that it had a deck and a yard so we didn't feel like we were on top of our neighbours. We took our kayaks out for a lovely paddle and were kept company by the many seals.
Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us.

Beautiful location, roomy house, very clean and tidy. Could use a few more basic amenities in the kitchen, easier access to Netflix/Prime difficult to work the Apple TV. Would definitely stay here again with a group of friends.
Thank you for your review Carrie! Will look into the Apple TV.

We were very happy with our 3 day stay with our son at this Kye Bay, Comox location. We had a little glitch upon arrival when the door code didn't work, but cheerful Candice from EMR was available instantly, via cell phone, and was able to give us a back up code. Aside from the beautiful, peaceful location, we found many other amenities that were abundantly thoughtful in making our stay even more pleasant almost every kitchen gadget you can imagine, several games, puzzles, and interesting books on shoreline birds, whales etc., flashlights, plastic wrap, tinfoil, wax paper, napkins, etc., good lighting inside and out, detergent pucks for the washer, extra bedding and pillows, plus cosy throw blankets for the living room. We found the 250 cleaning fee, along with the other added fees, to be expensive, compared to others. That aside, however, all in all, we would say it was a successful 5 star stay.
Thank you for the great review!

A lovely 2 weeks by the ocean between house moves.
House was really just yards from the ocean .
Loved the windy stormy days, being entertained by the hundreds of seabirds of all types and of course the seals
House was spacious and well equipped.
Two points to consider for winter rentals
1 As the wood burner cannot be used some sort of electric fireplace would provide that cosy feeling
2 The big sectional is against the windows which means the view is lost plus it can feel a bit cool sitting there

Somewhat pricey, however, it was Xmas & prices for hotel/rental places tend to increase. Although, it was a great value.
The kitchen had all the amenities you need to make a variety of meals.
The house was sufficient for grandparents & family of 4 as there 2 bedrooms & full bath on 2nd for, and another bedroom on main, with access to another bathroom.
No open fires allowed wood burning, but propane fire pts are acceptable.
The inside fire place was unusable, and the Apple TV was not user friendly. The TV is a Roku Samsung which is not indicated in the listing & probably helpful for people to know.
The solarium is a nice added touch, had the weather co-operated it could have been used as an extra sitting/play area for the kids. As a suggestion space heaters would have been added bonus to sit & watch the birds and seals in the ocean.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.
Thank you Aline for your great tips and such a nice review. Very appreciated!
