“Fabulous”
Fantastic view and close proximity to the ocean. Lovely garden with patios and chairs though the weather did not allow for much use of it. We enjoyed walking on the beach and found downtown Qualicum beach beautiful and very convenient. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and well furnished. We would have loved to have stayed longer!

Its location. Ocean view. Kitchen. The manager was great. I screwed up my dates and he was very kind about it and let me stay the extra night in the same room. I enjoyed my stay

“A peaceful, scenic spot to stay in Qualicum, but yet very close to everything by car.”
It was our first time staying at the Buena Vista. It is waterfront with a nice common patio and access directly onto the lovely beach, where you can swim, or walk. We enjoyed the quietness and relaxed atmosphere. It is truly a get away spot! Everyone we came into contact with were very pleasant and our accommodation was very clean. We will definitely stay here again!
