This is our fourth time at Buena Vista and we will be back. Quiet and clean room with patio overlooking the ocean... we watched the eagles all morning! Also great restaurant "Fish Tales" across the street... best Fish & Chips in the world!

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

I live here in Qualicum Beach, and my Mother, who is 74 yrs young never stays with us as she just loves to stay on the water. She has stayed at ALL the Resorts in Parksville and her absolute favorite place is this sweet, clean, charming 'Gem' called 'Buena Vista by The Sea'.....Claire and Robbie make her feel at home,...

I only stayed here for one night but wanted to stay longer. This place was very clean, big rooms, beautifully kept gardens, with a large patio right on the water. Just a lovely setting, quiet (no kids), relaxing and peaceful, and took a long walk all the way - by beach - to a quaint restaurant. The owners were very... 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.

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. Robbie kindly provided us with everything that we asked that wasn't already in the kitchen and told us not to be shy if we thought... More
