The House
see all photos This charming, very private 3-bdrm home, situated on 2 acres above the pristine and unspoiled sandy beaches of Qualicum, offers unparallel scenery. Nestled among a rare grove of impressive Douglas Firs and Western Hemlock, “McAllister House” provides panoramic 180-degree views overlooking the Straight of Georgia, its many islands and the magnificent mainland mountains.
The property is a nature lover’s paradise with resident deer, eagles, quail, and rabbits often sighted. Colourful gardens surround the house, and the large fenced lawns are ideal for favourite pastimes such as croquet and badminton. Approximately, 1200 square feet, the house is contemporarily decorated and well equipped. Large picture windows in the living, dining, and master bedroom maximize the ocean view, while a large wrap-around deck off the dining room ensures that each and every sunset BBQ is a memorable event.
When the beach calls, enjoy a short 3-minute nature walk down the conveniently located public path that winds down the treed hillside to the spectacular beach below. At low tide, an expanse of fine sandy beach unfolds, safe for swimming, even for the very young. You can dig for clams, collect sand dollars, build a sandcastle, or simply take your shoes off and enjoy a relaxing walk on the warm sand.
This mid-island property is a wonderful retreat in all seasons, and a fabulous location from which to explore Oceanside and the Central region of Vancouver Island. Discover for yourself why so many families return to McAllister House to enjoy this world-class vacation haven.
