3. Cute little place in Comox
The hosts have built a separate guest suite in their house, and are renting it out on Airbnb. There’s room for three guests in this property, with two bedrooms. You have your own private entrance to the side of the property, right next to the parking space you’re able to use. The hosts may not be around during your stay, but they are always able to be contacted. The rooms are a little shaded, so the space may not seem as bright as you’d expect it to. The hosts prewarn you - because the apartment is on the ground floor, it is cooler in the winter months. But you’re covered - the hosts have a sauna that you can use!

7. Annie's oceanside retreat
You have access to the entire guesthouse - and room for up to two guests. There’s a small trail that leads off from the property that takes you straight towards the beach. The kitchen is more than big enough - you could cook up a feast! There’s also a cosy living room area, with a built-in wood burning stove. There’s also a small dining room area next to the large windows looking out over the coastline and sea. There’s a large double bedroom, and if you’re lucky and tall you can have a peek through the window. Despite seeming to be very isolated, you’re only a few minutes drive from all the local amenities. There’s also a laundry facility and huge gym attached to the guesthouse.
