Beautiful and peaceful spot for our 1 week in Qualicun. Faye and Don are super friendly host. They thought of everything from cooking appliances and utensils if you’re planning to cook a few meals there. Even a rice cooker. Brand new BBQ or very well maintained. A great library of videos and books to choose from. A great kitchen layout to prep your meals. Check the cupboards and storage before you think she doesn’t haven’t because she does.She even had a fresh list of banana bread and a jar of creamer for my first cup of coffee! She thank you Fayr and Don!We would highly recommend it!

I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this is my favourite. It is so quiet. The hosts. put a lot of thought and heart into the space. There a diverse offerings of books, DVD, CD, games etc... Something for everyone (even a box of stuffies). We had our morning coffee on the patio, surrounded by a chorus of birds. It was nice not to be in town and yet it's a 5 min. drive to the beach.

Peace in the woods

A delightful space ( including patio) with everything you would need. Nice little touches too. Very restful, just what I was hoping for. Also easy distance to Qualicum town, beach and other places to see and enjoy like Milner Gardens - highly recommended.

Clean and friendly

The cottage style atmosphere was cute and the facility was absolutely spotless! Nothing was within walking distance but to drive to town took no more than 5 minutes. I would recommend this Vrbo to those who are fine not being on the water or in town.

We so enjoyed staying at Country Blue. It was like staying at home away from home. The hosts thought of everything to make sure we felt comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again. The location was absolutely wonderful we were out in the country yet just less then a 5 minute drive to Qualicum Beach and central location to Cathedral Forest. Close to Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay. Thanks for having us. 5 stars plus

Tranquil Retreat at Country Blue - Highly Recommended!

During my father's recent stay at Country Blue, he enjoyed a truly peaceful and rejuvenating experience. This charming retreat offered everything he needed for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway. The tranquil surroundings and calm atmosphere allowed my father to relax and unwind fully. The amenities at Country Blue were top-notch. The well-appointed rooms were thoughtfully designed and equipped with modern conveniences, ensuring a pleasant stay. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings added a touch of coziness to the experience. One of the highlights of the stay was the attentive and friendly service. The hosts, while keeping a respectful distance, were responsive to my father's needs and ensured he had a seamless stay. Country Blue offers a serene and welcoming environment that makes it an excellent choice for a retreat. My father's stay here was memorable, and I would highly recommend Country Blue to anyone seeking a peaceful and comfortable getaway.

Two life long friends getting together to sew. Great space. We brought our own folding sewing tables. Lots of electrical outlets, great lighting and space. Very well equipped. Perfect for two. One of us had the bedroom, the other slept on the sofa bed.

Clean & quiet. Hideabed is quite uncomfortable but worked fine for kids. Really nice couple that run the place. No kitchen or laundry, but that was made known in the advertisement. No surprises. Really nice place close to Qualicum.

We loved everything about Country Blue, it was spotless with lovely decor. So much thought and care has gone into this place to make it a great stay. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The special touches provided by Faye were both surprising and endearing. After a tiring journey we were delighted to find cream and sparkling water in the fridge and also a loaf of delicious banana bread waiting for us. We would definitely recommend this place, Faye you are a star ❤️ Blessings, Carol & Tania
