This condo has a beautiful view of the marina and is within walking distance of a few restaurants.
It was not well stocked tho and this was our first experience with a VRBO having to supply our own bathroom tissue, shampoo, coffee etc. They did say they only supply enough for one day in their book after we read it. We only had one knife which was extremely dull, very few dishes and cutler. The vacuum did not work well and it could have been cleaned to a higher standard. They did supply threedifferent coffee makers and a kettle which was nice. They need a larger kitchen garbage as we were running the garbage out every day and had to supply our own bags. They also need two folding chairs for outside as they only had two chairs for 4 people.
We would go back but these are our suggestions to make it more enjoyable for your guests.

This oceanside unit was the perfect home base for us as we spent the weekend visiting family in Nanaimo. It had all the comforts of home....but a much better view! It was clean and comfortable, bright and open. Breakfast on the patio, overlooking the marina, was such a treat. We are looking forward to our next visit.

This lovely waterfront condo is perfect in every way. You can’t beat the view of the Marina! We enjoyed watching the boat activity. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. The bed and living room furniture were super comfortable. The location made it easy to get around Nanaimo. Would definitely stay here again!

The location was perfect. Building was very quiet and easy to access. Most amazing comfortable bed! Very peaceful environment! The unit had everything you needed. The only comments I would like to suggest to owners is the pots and pans have peeling Teflon, cutlery is very cheap and small, some plastic scrapers were falling off in our food as they were melted down, bleach stains on towel. Over all cleanliness ok, however cushions on couch have some staining and in between cushions dirt and crumbs. Little things make a difference.

My husband and I stayed at Gary’s condo over Christmas so we could visit our kids/grandkids. What a wonderful experience we had! The condo is clean and spacious, everything updated, and well stocked pantry. We had one minor issue with the internet and the hosts contacted us immediately to rectify the situation (I only mention this to let you know the owners are very responsive). The view is spectacular, the area is quiet and had everything we needed! We’ll definitely refer to friends and family for future visits!

Property shows exactly like listing. The only comment I would make is that this is the only short term rental with no paper towels, no shampoo or conditioner in the unit. It seems like a small thing to make your guests comfortable.

Condo is beautiful with a great view. Central to grocery store and downtown

Air conditioning didn’t work very well. Great location and view from balcony. Needs a few more things in the cutlery drawer and a few more dishes
5.0
The property was lovely and very spacious it was very easy to access the condo without the need to carry keys because it had an access code. It was in an excellent location and very close to a bus route which was good for us as we do not drive. The views when we were sat on our balcony were lovely as it overlooked Newcastle Island and it was interesting to watch the coming and goings of the boats in the marina.

We stayed at this beautiful place over the Canada Day long weekend. The place was able to accommodate for 8 of us (my wife and I and our two children under 3years Old, and my friend, his wife and their two children under 3 years old as well). It was in a great location, great view of the harbor and only few minutes away from the ferry.
I gave 3/5 for communication just because it took awhile before I got hold of the property manager for a quick question — in hindsight, I should have called them instead of sending them a message. Once I got a hold of them though, they were super nice and helpful.
I would stay with them again 😊

Grandma lives in Nanaimo and hasn’t seen her grandkids in years! I arranged a trip with my adult children so we could all be together, grandma is 88 yrs old. We had my brother and mom who live in Nanaimo, my niece and nephew who live in Vancouver and myself and 2 kids who are from Minnesota. We had a very special Saturday night dinner together. The unit was perfect. Lovely setting, a short walk to my mom’s apartment, walking distance to all amenities. Lovely views , wonderful windows opening to the fresh cool sea air. Beds comfortable, kitchen great. Thank you so much.

We had alot of smoke from grease on barbaque that set off the alarms . But we got threw it all. Lol still loved every moment there

The condo was on the water and you are able to watch the boat marina next door taking the boats in and out of the water. The master overlooked the boats which was beautiful. A couple of small details - it would have been nice if some basic necessities were provided like soap, shampoo, paper towels, etc but Walmart is a short drive away. Rebecca was very easy to communicate with. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you?

We really enjoyed our time in Nanaimo and the accommodations were great! Clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of 4.

I have only very good things to say about this condo, it exceeded my expectations in every way. Spotless (which is really important); very comfortable beds with great linens; excellent Internet access (I was working during my stay); and a wonderful location with great views and access to beautiful walking paths. The hosts left good instructions for entering the condo, accessing the underground parkade, using the Murphy bed. I’m already planning to return!

Close to the ferry on a wide but not busy street. Great views of the Marina and Newcastle island. Good separation between the two sleeping areas made it a nice private place to stay with friends. Extra bathroom was great. Clean and modern. Helpful hosts

I would stay in this space again. There were four of us, and we were able to stay comfortably. Pros: the space was clean and comfortable; parking was great; location was great as some of us came on the ferry; the view was great; central location but quiet; we didn't use the tv's, but lots of options if you have a crowd (as opposed to a hotel room where everyone is stuck watching if someone has the tv on), Also loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer.
Thanks for everything! It was great.

Very clean, nice view from the unit, spacious, 3 minutes by car to the ferry to Vancouver...However be aware to deal regularly with giant spiders. Otherwise, I will strongly recommend.

Beautiful view.
It was fine. Would have just been nice to have a few more chairs on the deck if it accommodates 6. For future renters if you can’t get into the underground parking we found out if you have 45 in coins you can be in the outside lot for a week otherwise it is 15 a day. Bed coils squeaks on the Murphy bed. Was clean and nice and a good location close to everything.

Nice place
All around a nice place. The view is great and it is clean. The small bedroom is against the busy street but the noise wasn’t too bad with the window closed.

A1 Experience
Everything about this property and host is top notch. Communication was always prompt and detailed. The house was spotless and all the amenities were as promised. The property is a perfect jumping off point to start the many hikes available in the Nanaimo area. Fun watching boats and float planes from the balcony. I highly recommend this property.

Great Location
In town for a wedding this was a great home base for some tourist stuff and wedding venue. Unit had most everything, we had bad luck in that there was no dishwasher detergent, paper towel or toilet paper so we had to go out and purchase some but as far as utensils all the basics were there. Rebecca was great, we did and early checkin and late checkout, responded to messages quick and even a phone call when we got locked out. Highly recommend.
5.0
I loved the location. I didn’t like having to park in a garage and use a key fob. I was very unclear as to what is recyclable in the province. A little chart would have been helpful. It was a beautiful apartment and close to everything. I would go back again for sure. Beautiful 😊

All you need
Our stay at the Beach House exceeded our expectation a hundred fold. Having never used any rental such as VRBO we had no idea what to expect. The unit was extremely clean beautifully decorated comfortable beds and linens fully stocked kitchen with unexpected condiments. Access was easy to the unit and underground parking. The view kept us staring out the large bedroom and living room windows. You won’t be disappointed with this rental.

Perfect place to be snowed in
My family and I spent three weeks in the property over a Christmas/New Year when a highly unusual snow fall and Covid restrictions saw us spend most of the time inside. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay - very clean, warm and comfortable, surprisingly spacious, very good value and a stunning view of the wharf. Next time we visit Nanaimo, we would love to stay in the property.
