About this apartment rental
Our property boasts luxury and amazing views from every room. Top floor is open concept living space with lots of natural light. Being the end unit, it is larger with more windows and closest to the water, being the furthest unit from the pool and other units, it is also the most private and relaxing property in the resort.
Starting with a well stocked chef's kitchen, quartz counters, oversize fridge with ice maker and water, built in stainless appliances, and induction range. Ocean and garden views from the kitchen with a balcony to enjoy the gardens.
Dining space provides a beautiful seating space for 6 with comfortable leather chairs and top quality dinnerware. Relax in our beautifully appointed living room with floor to ceiling ocean views, comfortable leather couches and recliner, sofa pulls out to sleep 2! In winter months curl up by the electric fireplace and enjoy the heated floors throughout the whole condo! In the warmer months every bedroom has a high quality and quiet ceiling fan including a extra large ceiling fan in the main living space to ensure the ocean breeze circulates to keep you cool and comfortable.
Located on the second floor the master bedroom has an extremely comfortable king bed and TV with your own en-suite and ocean views with a private balcony. Since it faces east we also include blackout curtains to keep the morning sun from disturbing your sleep if you choose. The upstairs bedroom also has a very comfortable queen bed with a beautiful garden view and large windows with access to the top floor bathroom.
The resort provides you access to hot tub (year round) and pool (seasonal) overlooking the water and the next door provincial park. Desire to explore the shore, you may walk for miles in both directions exploring tidal pools, gather oysters, dig clams, or enjoy a swim. Like to fish or crab, during the spring to fall months enjoy our deep water dock! Need some exercise then head over to the tennis court, play horseshoes, lawn games or go for a run or cycle along Yellow Point road in its beautiful rural setting. Young children? the shoreline is safe to explore for all ages and there is a playground at the resort too!

Our first trip to Vancouver Island as a family and we were not disappointed. The condo was the perfect location - right on the water with incredible views - close enough to both Ladysmith and Nanaimo but far enough to feel secluded.
The condo was wonderfully appointed - everything you could need during a short or long visit. The beds were comfortable and the unit was very quiet. The decor was perfect too.
The only slight hiccup we had was the door code we were given didn’t work. We had traveled all day and were tired. Thankfully I was able to get in touch with Angela and she gave us a code that did work.
We enjoyed our trip to VI so much that we are talking of visiting again this year and moving here permanently in retirement.
Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned VI visitor, this unit and Inn at the Sea is a fabulous choice.

This was one of the most enjoyable vacation properties my family has ever stayed. The views, the amenities, the kindness of the host and everything about it was perfect. We travelled across the country to visit and we would have been happy travelling across the world to stay here. Thank you so much!

This beautiful place was just as described. Everything from top to bottom was so well planned and appointed with everything you might want in a stay. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful view, well equipped and very comfortable. The owner went above and beyond for our stay. Can't wait to go again.

Everything was just great - spacious, clean, very well equipped, and a daily view to die for. We had a really nice time.
*Tip for others - we found the clam digging shovel and went to give it a try, just for fun. It’s actually pretty easy, but turns out there was a red tide ban. This is easy to find online, and vitally important to check before trying to consume any.

Our stay with friends over New Year’s was wonderful. The area is beautiful with gorgeous views from the windows. Nothing in front of our view but ocean. The neighbours were friendly, helpful and quiet. Angela was easy to communicate with and solved any issues that came up. She was ready to do whatever she could to make our stay enjoyable. The condo is extremely well equipped, even with many spices and condiments in the kitchen. The living area was very comfortable and the large dining table great for playing games as well as eating our gourmet dinners we cooked. We had a beautiful hike at Cable Bay and some nice walks closer to the condo. The area also has a Country Grocer as well as a convenience store. We also enjoyed our New Year’s Day dip in the ocean with a dip in the outdoor hot tub after - perfect! There were also some people enjoying the outdoor fire pit by the pool with the wood provided. It would be great to come back also when the pool and dock are open and we look forward to doing that one day. Thank you Angela!

We spent a week in this excellent condo. Well appointed, best stocked kitchen of any rental I’ve seen, beautiful environment with lovely views of sunrise, entertained by the many hummingbirds. Rental process was smooth. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Wonderful unit. Very comfortable and great kitchen. Unit has everything you will need for your holiday. Views are worth the stay. This is our 9th year staying at this resort.

A beautiful, tranquil property with breathtaking ocean views, a perfect setting for total relaxation and rejuvenation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Angela's fabulous, tastefully decorated waterfront unit that is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The oceanfront heated pool and hot tub were so lovely as well. We can hardly wait to return to take in the beauty of this special place all over again!
4.8
We stayed here for 3 nights and I’m regretting that we didn’t book it for longer. It was a great stay and Angela was a superb host!
My family and I come from the city where we are used to having restaurants and stores within walking distance - this is not the case with this property. Stock up on groceries and make use of one of the many bbq’s that are available.
The views from the patios were amazing - it was so lovely to wake up and have my morning coffee looking out over the water.
I would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Angela’s place in Inn of the Sea. The views were stunning and the unit was incredibly well stocked which as a nice surprise. This condo did not disappoint and we will definitely return!

I couldn’t write this review fast enough after our stay. First of all probably the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at.
The view is STUNNING!!! We ate every meal on the patio over looking the ocean.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need. The grounds are gorgeous. The pool is great. Tennis ! We brought our stand up paddle boards. We are soooo grateful to have been able to stay here. Do not hesitate to book you will not be disappointed.

We loved staying here. All five of us were very comfortable. The downstairs bed is dreamy as well as the pullout couch. The upstairs bed needs to be replaced but still we all slept well. Angela’s kitchen is fantastic. Lots of wine glasses, cutlery and dishes. Pots are great and loved the induction oven. There are lots of chairs and the three decks are so nice to read your books. There are so many extras that come with this unit. This is our third time coming to Inn of the Sea and this has been our favorite!!!

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. The condo was very clean, spacious and the view was amazing! We hope to return in the future!

The unit was exactly as advertised, the view is stunning and it is the best location within the complex. We all enjoyed jumping off the dock and going for an ocean swim as well as the pool and hot tub. We also had hours of fun playing pickleball and horse shoes. The unit is exactly like the pictures and was nicely furnished and well designed to capture the incredible view. Lastly, we have stayed at many short term rentals and this one certainly came with the best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in. The BBQ area was also fantastic and we used it every day.

Great place to stay. Unit is just how the pictures show. Hope to stay here again

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days. We had a great time and loved the area. The view was amazing and we saw so much wildlife just on the property and the shoreline in front. One day while we were hiking we heard Orca were seen from the property (bummer we missed it).
The condo was a good size and the kitchen great with everything we needed to make our meals. The location was great with things to explore nearby and also within driving distance of some amazing waterfalls. We also enjoyed relaxing at the condo in the evening and found it comfortable.
Angela was great with communication and gave us some helpful tips. One of our favorite things to do on trips is check out local bakeries and Angela recommended Ladysmith Bakery which did not disappoint. It was really good and we went back twice.
The only issue we had was it was the weather was warm during our stay and the upper level got hot with all the windows. We turned on the ceiling fan and opened up a few windows to get a cross breeze when we were relaxing at the condo which seemed to work. This definitely was not a big problem and we would stay here again. The nice thing about all the windows was the natural light and the awesome view.

beautiful place and location

There were a few things that need attention. The hot tub wasn’t working, the mattress on the hide-a-bed needs replacing, the ice machine in the fridge didn’t work, and some of the furniture needs to be replaced. However, the breathtaking view makes up for everything.
The condo was very quiet and peaceful.
4.8
We had an amazing stay! The condo was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Angela was very responsive to our questions. But nothing beat the location!! The views and sounds of the water were mesmerizing. From our deck, we saw a basking shark (very rare), an orca and sea otters. Such a special treat for all in our party. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Angela!

The views, wildlife, and natural light made our holiday that much more amazing. The home is very comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The large kitchen and dinning area was perfectly suited for family meals. The swarms of hummingbirds on the patio were the highlight of our stay.
Please be aware that there is a flight of outside stairs leading to the unit and another inside, in case that is a dealbreaker for you.

Great place.
4.8
This condo is perfect for a peaceful getaway. It is away from the busyness of life but close enough to everything you need. The condo is well-stocked. There has been a lot of thought put into everything including a variety of spices! The pictures are accurate. The condo is renovated and tastefully decorated with good quality appliances. And the view - oh, the view! Wonderful!

Very pleasant experience. Would come again.

Circumstances changed but just knew we would have loved it. The area is lovely and the condo has been updated perfectly...can't wait to stay officially.
4.8
Well equipped kitchen, but no space for your own food/supplies (except fridge). Really not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, lots of stairs and long walk from parking to door. But once you settle in the view is very west coast. Didn't access any of the outdoor amenities due to the weather so no comment there.
4.8
Condo was well kept, clean and beautifully furnished. Kitchen was fully equipped. Stunning ocean view.
Small caveat. We arrived in unusual weather conditions with ice and snow. Would have liked to have safety treads on long entrance stair as carrying luggage was somewhat difficult.
Generally excellent rental.

We have stayed in a lot of vrbos and this is one of the nicest units. Not only the million dollar view but a super comfortable condo. Angela has made sure you have everything you need for a super getaway. We will be back ..

We had an amazing time and loved how much room we had for the five of us. There was so much to do and was so peaceful at the same time.
4.8
We enjoyed 3 nights at this 2 storey condo. Right on the water, with lots of hummingbird activity right on the balcony! We enjoyed the pool, and the hot tub was hot, but no jets :(.
Beds were comfortable and the kitchen is super stocked with everything you could need. A very quiet, relaxing time had by all!
4.8
Lovely suite. Large, modern and open floor plan. Hummingbirds were at the feeders dawn to dusk. Great pool and hot tub and the gardens around the complex were well maintained. We even saw a small pod of orcas pass by one morning while on the deck enjoying our coffee. Also close enough to Ladysmith for supplies but well off the beaten path that it felt we were surrounded by ocean and forest as far as we could see. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing
4.8
We really enjoyed our time at this condo. The view from the balcony is incredible. And the condo unit is very beautifully updated. The pool was a hit with the kids, but unfortunately the hot tub wasn’t at all hot while we were visiting, so hopefully they’ll address this soon. As lovely as the location on the water is, the condo is about 20 minutes away from any services, so be aware of that.
We enjoyed playing tennis on the on site court. It was fun to beachcomb along the shoreline, as well.
The only major complaint we had was sleep quality. The condo is east facing and unfortunately only one room has blackout curtains. We ended up buying sleep masks.
If you’re looking for peace and quiet, but still a family friendly place. I’d recommend this condo! But be aware that you’ll be up early!
