Charming Half-Duplex with a Lovely Ocean View Steps from Royston Seaside Park!

Take a step back in time and relax in this spacious 2 bedroom half-duplex. Frank and Alison have completely renovated your future home-away-from-home yet retained the character of their sixties style home to create a comfortable 'homey' experience that feels new yet familiar. Set on over half an acre Royston Seaview Suite is a nature lover's paradise! Deer, rabbits, raccoons, and an amazing array of birds, including eagles, herons, gulls, jays, and hummingbirds, are regular local visitors to Royston Seaview Suite!
Royston is a wonderful destination in the Comox Valley where you can feel 'away from it all' but close to everything! The Royston Seaside Trail and beach are just down the street, Courtenay is 5 KM away and the Comox Airport is a 15 minute drive.Your Hosts Frank and Alison Zitelmann have lived in the lovely little hamlet of Royston for 9 years and have loved every minute of living in this vibrant yet peaceful community.
The Comox Valley has something for everyone! Whether you enjoy Golfing, Fishing, Kayaking, Skiing, Birdwatching, or Windsurfing, (just to name a few), you can do it ALL and more and some days you could even enjoy them ALL on the same day! Our Valley's unique combination of high glacier mountains and year round moderate Pacific Ocean temperatures make this area like no other on the planet! ​
Royston Seaview Suite is not only steps from the Royston beach, parks, trails, a pub and restaurant, a local coffee roasting house, and the world class Kingfisher Spa it is also in a wonderful central location on Vancouver Island! Majestic waterfalls, old growth Douglas Firs, pristine lakes, fabulous beaches, quaint towns and villages, marvelous markets, secluded islands and inlets, and much more are all within a short drive of our quiet but convenient Hamlet of Royston.

Great property for digital nomads. Good workspace and what a view! Easy access to walking/cycling trails allowing a fun walk or bike ride into the Courtenay/Comox/Cumberland areas as well. Fantastic dinner with music just blocks away at Roy's Towne Pub! Morning coffee even closer. Great hosts and a well provisioned suite.

Toddler paradise! (And adults too :))
My husband, <2 year old son and I had an amazing stay at the sea view suite. We had everything we needed including a separate room for our son, and the owner leant us a pack and play and high chair. There were also various child dishes/utensils, stuffed animals, and a playhouse with kids coffee maker and toaster toys! The little reading nook overlooking the water was perfect for children and adults alike. The unit had all the amenities we needed including comfy beds, a full bath with toiletries and lots of towels, pillows and blankets. Lots of living room and a spacious well equipped kitchen.

Checked all our boxes
We were four friends on a paddling & mountain biking holiday and this suite made for the perfect base. 10 min to Cumberland trails and 1 min walk to the ocean. The spacious suite was perfect for making large meals after our adventures. Lovely yard with lots of outdoor seating.

Roomy Unit with Funky Decor (well equipped)
Two couples for three nights (Vancouver Island Music Festival). Large comfy bedrooms and kitchen with everything you could need plus some supplies such as tea, coffee & a few treats. Comfortable living room and excellent outdoor lounge area (perfect for smoker in our group). Bathroom is small and there is no laundry facilities.

Royston by the Ocean
The host was kind, very friendly and so accommodating. We were impressed with little extras that she provided from snacks & games to toiletries. The suite was large and always cool for hot days . Loved the walking trails , local pub food and and coffee shop close by. A quick drive in to Courtney and Comox. A great place for a family too!

Royston Retreat
We came to Royston looking for a quiet retreat, beautiful scenery and great food. That’s exactly what we got. Alison and Frank were great hosts and the place was very comfortable. The beds were amazing and we both slept extremely well. It’s close to all the urban amenities of Courtenay, shopping, restaurants etc. but has the peace, quiet and charm of a rural town. It is also close to many attractions. We’ve decided that we prefer a stand alone rental, not a duplex. Having the hosts living right above you means that there is a bit of normal household noise. It’s not a big problem, just a minor distraction. It would never prevent us from coming again. All in all, we have no problem heartily recommending this place to anyone wanting to visit Vancouver Island.

Great home away from home
We were staying on business. This was perfect for us - quiet, close to Courtney, a great value for the price! After a long day working it felt like a home away from home coming in each night. Thanks for your hospitality!
