Do Everything…or Do Nothing
Make Vancouver Island your home base this season! At Pacific Playgrounds, our fully furnished cottages make it easy to stay a while: morning coffee on the deck, long walks by the river, and cozy evenings when the rain rolls in. Whether you’re working remotely, waiting for your new home to be ready, or simply craving a longer escape, you’ll find space, comfort, and calm right here by the water.
Why Choose a Longer Stay?
There’s a special rhythm to life at Pacific Playgrounds when you stay for more than a few nights. The pace slows. Neighbours become friends. Every day starts with a glimpse of the ocean or the forest, and ends with quiet or laughter—your choice.
Our cottages are warm, private, and practical for extended living. You’ll have everything you need to settle in: a full kitchen stocked with essentials, fresh linens, reliable Wi-Fi, and space to spread out. Step outside and you’re moments from trails, beaches, and the peaceful Oyster River.
Winter on the Island feels different. Milder temperatures mean green trails instead of snowbanks, storm-watching instead of shovelling, and no need to cross borders for a better climate.
Comfortable Cottages, Ready for Everyday Life
Our two bedroom cottages offer a cozy blend of home comfort and resort ease. Each unit includes:
- Furnished cottages with high-speed Wi-Fi and parking beside your door
- Fully equipped kitchen with cookware and full-size appliances
- Heating and full bathroom amenities
- Linens, towels, and on-site laundry facilities
- Basic cleaning supplies provided and optional housekeeping services available for a small fee
- Pet-friendly options available on request!
Some guests stay a month, others stay the whole winter. Shorter stays may be possible outside peak periods. No matter how long you stay, you’ll have the privacy of your own cottage and the support of our on-site team.
Life Here and Nearby
Wake to birdsong or the sound of rain on cedar roofs. Wander the riverside trails, read by the fireplace, or join neighbours for a chat at sunset. When you need a change of pace, Courtenay and Campbell River are both within a short drive—complete with groceries, pharmacies, cafés, clinics, and local markets.
When adventure calls, you’re already perfectly placed. Hike rainforest trails, watch seals at the marina, or spend a weekend exploring Mount Washington, Strathcona Park, Elk Falls, or the Comox Valley’s breweries and art scene. The Island’s best experiences are all within reach, even in winter.
Who Our Long Stays Are Perfect For
Long stays at Pacific Playgrounds are popular with a wide range of guests:
- Remote workers who want a peaceful base with solid Wi-Fi and easy access to nature.
- Families between homes or renovating, needing a comfortable space without the commitment of a lease.
- Professionals and contractors on temporary projects in the Comox Valley or Campbell River area.
- New arrivals testing life on Vancouver Island before settling permanently.
- Extended holiday makers looking for more time to unwind, reconnect, or create.
However you arrive, you’ll find it easy to feel at home here.
How to Book Your Stay
Long-term stays can’t be booked online—each is arranged directly through our office to make sure you get the right cottage and the best rate for your needs.
When you reach out, our team will:
- Confirm availability for your preferred dates.
- Match you with a suitable cottage (including pet-friendly or specific layout requests).
- Outline monthly rates, what’s included (utilities, Wi-Fi, parking), and any deposits or fees.
Most long stays begin at 30 nights or more, and we’re happy to discuss flexible arrival dates or extensions if your plans change.
