  We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn of the Sea Resort. The manager of the property was very professional and was easy to deal with. This was our first family holiday, so we had a lot of questions that were answered via email quickly. We appreciated her recommendation to rent both the main suite and the hotel unit. Making reservations couldn’t have been easier! The website page about this property is well done and gives a lot of accurate information. When we arrived, we found the accommodation was clean and homey. The well-equipped kitchen was great, especially since it was at least a 20 minute drive to the nearest family restaurant. The large family room in the main suite offered ample space for our family of 4 (two teenagers, two adults) to hang out and relax. The view from the family room is truly spectacular! We were visiting in the early spring, so the outdoor swimming pool was not open yet, however it looked like fun, overlooking the water. We did many day trips from the condo to see Vancouver Island, however we could have spent more time enjoying the condo and property itself as there was lots to do there. We spent a morning watching the sea lions play in the water, and when the tide was out there was lots of exploring that could be done. It was interesting to see all the sea life that lives in the rocks, including many sea stars. Our visit was very comfortable and quiet. We would recommend this property to our friends and family, and hope to enjoy this peaceful retreat again sometime.

  We had the great pleasure of staying at The Inn of the Sea Resort at the end of June 2012. The condo was amazing, incredibly clean, and fully equipped, there is even a good selection of books and Dvds if you want to stay in and relax. Being a family of 4 with 2 teenagers (18 yr old girl and 19 yrs old boy), it was a real plus that there were 2 twin beds in one of the room... Who wants to sleep on a hide-a-bed when on vacation. There were 2 kayaks available for our use, it was great, seal came close to us (+/- 25 ft) while we were on water. We would definitely go back and recommend it to our friends and family.

  From the moment we drove into the parking lot of this Inn of the Sea property, we knew we had discovered a hidden "gem". The listing & photos of this condo are completely accurate - very clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable bedding/pillows, abundance of towels, well-stocked kitchen, cozy/comfy furnishings, books, large movie selection, games/beach accessories/children's activities, & a computer/fax for those who need to maintain business contacts...no detail has been overlooked! My husband & I travelled with our 15 year old daughter, who really enjoyed having her own space, as the layout of the condo provided her with a bedroom/bathroom on it's own level..akin to a mini-apartment. The owner is amazing - very personable, easy to contact, quick to respond, and she really cares about helping to provide you with a very memorable, pleasant holiday experience. The condo is located in a very private/ tranquil setting - a peaceful/serene paradise with the most amazing views; a vacation home that is very difficult to leave!! We appreciated the fact that this was a haven away from the city, but at the same time was very central, making any island day trip a possibility. We visited the local Crow & Gate Pub/ market, spent a day in Nanaimo with lunch at the harbour & some shopping, challenged ourselves to some ziplining/treetop obstacle courses at Wild Play Park, & took some time exploring the quaint towns of Ladysmith & Chemainus. At the end of the day, we were excited to return to our "home-away-from-home", & in fact, there were a couple of days where we didn't even leave...& spent those days relaxing on the deck, soaking up the rays, marvelling in the views, lounging by the pool, and combing the beach. This condo has something to offer anyone looking for an escape, & I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the island..it really is a paradise of it's own - a luxurious vacation home in an absolutely perfect setting. We had a difficult time saying good-bye, but we left with some island attractions still unseen, so we will be back. Until then, we will dream of this very breathtaking, peaceful bit of paradise.

  This condo at the Inn of The Sea is an excellent getaway home-away-from home place or a comfortable base for an adventure on Vancouver Island's many attractions. First, about the condo: You will have everything you would need and wish for, from top of the line kitchen utensils and appliances, electronic equipment, sports gear, free Internet, fireplace, comfortable living room and bedrooms, a skylight! in the dining area and a breathtaking view from your living, outside balcony and bedroom. Rain or shine, it was an excellent time we spent here. Vancouver Island has many attractions and if you like hiking ,boating or fishing, art or sports, festivals or just want to relax and find serenity, this is a perfect spot for your exploring. We played every day tennis on the court of this complex, tried the hot tub and next time we will try also the outdoor pool (we do like more hot weather for this and it was not the case this June) ,while also visiting a petting farm, farmer's market and enjoying other outdoor activities. One day we took a trip to Victoria where we lingered around the main harbor and visited the Royal Museum with its dinosaur exhibition which our 4 yr old son really enjoyed. Some evenings we played a variety of board games (provided!) and gazed to the beautiful water in front of us. Some fishermen got us fresh shrimp and fish, we actually used the BBQ quite a lot with all the fresh sausages and local vegetables we've got from the weekly farmer's market. In summary, rest assured the condo offers everything you would need and wish form a vacation spot, go prepared for an adventure and exploring what the area has to offer.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The listing description was exactly as described. It was a very clean and well kept unit. The grounds of this condo are very well kept and very clean. I would definitely recommend this unit to friends and relatives. You must visit the Crow and Gate English Pub. Also have breakfast at the Frog and Puddle. Great food and close by.

  Our family of four (2 adults and 2 young children) thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Inn of the Sea Resort vacation condo. The setting was picturesque (there were beautiful water views from the main living area) and the condo was clean, modern and comfortable. The place was well stocked with a huge selection of dvd movies (for all ages), board games and toys for the children (even bath toys!). We would highly recommend this accommodation to our friends and family and hope to be back soon.

  This particular unit had lovely water views to the east and northeast (great for sunrises if you are an early riser!). The unit has recently been quite tastefully refurbished, and as such we found it quite relaxing. (A glass block window on an inside wall of the bathroom was an interesting feature.) The unit was very clean and there were adequate kitchen and bedding supplies. We would definitely recommend this property to others. We chose to stay in and relax so we can not recommend any activities or restaurants, however, the location of the property is an attraction in itself and so beautiful and quiet that the temptation is to never leave.

  We had a delightful vacation in the Nanaimo area there are so many things to see and do. Kayaking, hiking swimming, beach combing, exploring caves, and lots of other things. This condo was a perfect place to stay, Beautiful ocean view, quiet location in the complex, so well stocked there was nothing but food to add. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. Would love to stay again.

  We enjoyed the condo, the property, and the magnificent views. The condo was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed... did I mention the magnificent views? As we were sipping our coffee Saturday morning we looked out, and to our surprise two killer whales were slowly passing by. Awesome!! Vancouver Island has a nice mix of wilderness, beautiful coastline, mountain views, tall 1000 year old redwoods, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and quaint little towns. Plenty of neat pubs and places to eat.
