Beachway Vacation Rentals — Hotel in Campbell River

Stopped here for three night on our Canadian trip. When we arrived Laurel greeted us warmly and took us up to our suite. We were staying in one of the two upstairs suites, there is a short staircase to climb to it. She showed us around the whole flat , gave us great information about places to visit and eat. She also gave us a map of the town and marked up all the places and directions to where we wanted to go. It is only a short walk to the seafront and the main parade of shops and restaurants. Its a lovely suite large lounge with a double bed , chairs and a dining table , a separate bedroom which we used , lovely bathroom with bath, and a small kitchenette which had everything that you needed to make breakfast and meals if you needed. Our first night we took Lauren's recommendation to visit the Quinsam River and got some fantastic views of Black Bears fishing. We visited every morning and evening of our trip and saw bears fishing each time, on one occasion one decided to get a little close to us walking on the path we were on, and although we didn't need to use them we were glad that Lauren has an alarm and bear spray available for guests to carry. Its a perfect location to walk along the harbour front and every day we saw humpback whales in the sea . Our first night we grabbed a takeaway to take back to the suite as everything was there to enjoy a meal,and ate at a different restaurants every other night. The suite is comfy , very clean and Lauren is a delightful host talking to us every day when we returned from our trips to find out our adventures. It is a very quiet residential location, with off road parking and we never heard any noise from any of the other residents. We didn't get to see the garden , as the weather wasn't great on our visit but one day did sit on the balcony for coffee which was lovely. Apparantly, in the Spring and summer you can view bald eagles from here, it was a bit late in the season for us, but we did see eagles and turkey vultures at the nearby river.We also didn't try the breakfasts as it was so close to town to buy some or we made our own. Would highly recommend the suites its a lovely base for...

This B & B is in a quiet residential street. It is just a short walk to shops and the waterfront nearby. Our host, Laurel, was friendly and helpful with info about the area, and she even provided a complimentary beautiful breakfast tray of treats for us on the first morning. Our unit comprised of two bedrooms, one with queen bed and one with king. There was a spacious, pretty bathroom, and a fully functional kitchenette with fridge and all things you could need to cook a meal. Inside there was also a table and chairs plus lounge chairs to watch the TV. A bonus was the large upstairs deck outside that the unit opened onto. Right beside it there was a large lilac tree and the perfume wafted into our unit day and night. On the deck there was a table and chairs with sun umbrella, plus two sun lounges. The view extended down to the water and you couldn't miss the rhododendrons in an amazing array of colours that were dotted around in every garden. From the deck we could also see a nesting bald eagle nearby, and Laurel's dog, Georgie, managed to round up a raccoon and chase it up a tree so I was able to take a photo of it peeking down at me. There is car space off the street at the front of the property, and the entire area is very quiet at night. It was easy to have a peaceful and restful sleep. As for the location, you have the town close by, with cafes and shops, plus all the local boat tour agencies. The tour boats leave from the marina in town, where there is plenty of parking nearby. We stayed four nights here, and found that the location was excellent for driving around and exploring the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Thanks Laurel (and Georgie) for your...

We were a bit miffed that no-one was there to greet us when we arrived, but instructions were clear and we found our room to be of good size with a small kitchenette. With no greeting we had to find eating places without recommendation but there was plenty of info available in the room.||As we were due to leave for an early boat trip next day (of 3 night stay) we had to make contact ourselves in order to cancel our breakfasts which was a shame as these were brought to our room the following days and were very nice. Cooked eggs and potatoes one day and cooked muffins the next - had to take a few with us!||||We were given good advice on places to eat and buy food; we had a busy schedule whilst there but Laurel could have pointed us in the right direction for attractions if we had wanted to. Altogether a nice stay, our only comment would be that the B&B is a drive away from the good restaurants up by the harbour and you need to walk a few minutes...
