Nestled in a magical west coast forest and just steps from the shoreline, this cozy cottage offers an ideal escape for any occasion. Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a serene office away from home, an artist’s or writer’s haven, or a birdwatcher’s paradise, DRIFT Studio is the perfect destination. Unmatched Views and Wildlife Encounters Let the soothing sounds of the waves and the breathtaking views of Denman Island, the Salish Sea, and the historic Chrome Island Lighthouse set the tone for your stay. From the comfort of the cottage, witness the wonder of an Ancient Fishing Weir, which attracts incredible marine life like elephant and harbor seals. Bird enthusiasts will delight in frequent sightings of bald eagles, blue herons, loons, and more. Keep your eyes on the water, and you may even spot orcas gliding through the channel. Comfort and Coastal Charm After a day of exploration, unwind by the cozy fireplace with a favorite book, soak in the tub, or gather for a beachside bonfire under a blanket of stars. The studio features a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ on the deck, making it easy to prepare fresh, delicious meals. Take advantage of the nearby local markets and seafood options to savor the flavors of the coast. A Perfect Location for Tranquility and Adventure Though DRIFT Studio feels like a secluded haven, it’s conveniently located just 40 minutes from Comox Airport and 20 minutes from the resort community of Qualicum Beach. For those craving adventure, rent a kayak or use one of the two provided paddleboards to explore the shoreline. Fishing enthusiasts can organize a trip from nearby Deep Bay Marina, while the surrounding area offers endless opportunities for hiking, nature watching, and relaxation. Need More Space? For larger groups or additional accommodations, the main house, DRIFT Bungalow, is also available—please inquire for details. Important Information Please note that access to DRIFT Studio involves descending approximately 80 concrete steps, most of which lack a handrail. However, a motorized tram is available to assist with luggage transport, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure. Experience the West Coast, Your Way Whether you’re here to immerse yourself in nature, find inspiration, or simply relax by the sea, DRIFT Studio offers the perfect setting to create unforgettable memories.
