About this house rental
Welcome to DRIFT Bungalow
Your tranquil retreat by the beautiful Salish Sea!
This bright and cozy bungalow is perfectly situated to immerse you in the beauty of Vancouver Island’s coastline. Easily accessible when you arrive from the front drive, DRIFT Bungalow offers stunning views of the Salish Sea, Denman Island, and the historic Chrome Island Lighthouse—all from the comfort of any chair in the house.
A Nature Lover's Paradise
Step outside to direct shoreline access through a magical rainforest and marvel at an Ancient Fishing Weir, where nature comes alive. Watch for elephant and harbor seals, bald eagles, blue herons, hummingbirds, loons, and more. Birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts will be captivated by the endless sightings, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot orcas passing through the channel. The backdrop of fishing boats gliding through the water completes the coastal charm.
Relaxation and Comfort
After a day of exploration, snuggle up by the cozy wood-burning fireplace with your favorite book, soak in the tub, or stargaze by the gas firepit. The electric sauna, featuring a giant window with breathtaking views, offers a rejuvenating way to unwind.
Modern Amenities with a Coastal Touch
The fully-equipped kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops, making meal prep a breeze. Indulge in fresh local produce and seafood sourced nearby at the many specialty markets and fire up the propane gas BBQ in the breezeway—perfect for grilling outdoors even on rainy days.
Adventure Awaits
Located just 40 minutes from Comox Airport and 20 minutes from the resort community of Qualicum Beach, DRIFT Bungalow offers the perfect balance of peace and proximity. For adventure seekers, rent a kayak or use the two provided paddleboards to explore the shoreline. Fishing enthusiasts can book an expedition at nearby Deep Bay Marina, while hikers and nature lovers will find endless trails to explore near the home.
Optional Add-On
Need more space? The nearby DRIFT Studio cabin may also be available—reach out for details!
Important Note
Please be aware that accessing the shoreline requires navigating approximately 80 concrete steps, most of which do not have a handrail.
Caretakers live on site in a cabin on the Sea and DRIFT Studio cabin is located adjacent to it. Please use care and discretion when passing through on the way to the waterfront.
Experience Vancouver Island, Your Way
Whether you’re here to embrace the tranquility of the Salish Sea, explore Vancouver Island’s natural beauty, or soak in the charm of Bowser, DRIFT Bungalow provides the ideal base for an unforgettable getaway.
We can’t wait to host you and help make your coastal retreat truly magical.

I was looking for a quiet weekend away on the beach, to relax and enjoy a much needed break from work. This lovely cottage is exactly as shown in the pictures. Beautifully decorated, a fully equipped kitxhen with top of the line appliances, a very comfortable bed and a view that cannot be beat. Additionally the sauna while has not only appreciated after a long day of exploring but also provides an equality stunning view. I was extremely fortunate that not only did I have 4 days of sunshine, I also was there for the herring spawning. I was privileged to watch rafts of sea lions, convication of eagles, solitary herons and 1000s of herring gulls. The walks on the beach where not only amazing for the view but the abundance of wildlife. Highly recommended for adults.

This place was a dream. Beautiful ocean views with access to the beach and tranquil forest. The spa was perfect on the rainy days we were there. The decor of the house was relaxing (such a nice beach getaway) and everything was so organized and clean! Unfortunately we had a power outage during one of our nights and had to use all the candles (sorry!) But other than that natural power outage (the entire area), this little resort was phenomenal. Highly recommend if you want to get away from the city and just be in with nature! We definitely would love to come back in Summer and enjoy more of the nature.
