Royston Residence

Walk out basement suite with private entrance into kitchenette: full fridge, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, teapot, electric skillet. Carpeted living area around gas fireplace with CD player, TV, some games & books. Carport parking. Newly renovated with laminate flooring in kitchen & bedroom. 10 min walk to cafe, local pub and corner store. Easy walk to waterfront with local trails. 10 mins to Courtenay. Quick access to highway and up to Mt. Washington. The home is located in a quiet and safe residential area. There is a fenced back yard with lots of gardens both front and back. I'm happy to help with suggestions for things to do locally as well as restaurants, music events, local hiking. If you have your own bicycles, the ride into Courtenay is about 25 minutes, where you can hook up with riding trails through town. Royston is a small community that runs along the water. There is the Trent River estuary close by, as well as the Courtenay River Estuary. Its easy to launch your kayaks with lots of areas to explore by water, including the Royston wrecks, ships that were deliberately grounded to provide a breakwater for logs feeding the mills in the area when they were working. The local coffee shop is well visited by locals and tourists alike. The local pub has a wide variety of local live music and good food. The minimart has a liquor outlet and offers snack foods and some essentials like bread, milk, newspapers. If you want to party, Courtenay is close at hand. If you want to relax and rejuvenate with outdoor activities, the options are almost endless. Parking is right outside your door in a carport. There is limited bus service south as far as Fanny Bay, and north into Courtenay. If you have a larger truck or camper, there is easy parking alongside the street at the bottom of the driveway. The furnace room with freezer and laundry is off the kitchenette, so I may have to access that room if you're staying for any longer than a few days.
