About the neighborhood

Nanoose Bay

Located in Nanoose Bay, this condo is near a water park and on the waterfront.

Kayaking and motor boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and hiking/biking trails nearby.

Perfect Getaway

Had a wonderful time at the condo and associated resort. The condo was clean, organized and was very comfortable. Great access to the resort amenities as well, with fantastic pool (including outside one for children) and wonderful views of the bay.

Absolutely beautiful location. We had gorgeous sunset views over Nanoose Bay. Used the pool, billiards table, ping pong and pickleball courts, took full advantage of the paddle board and kayak rentals. Enjoyed the amenities in the unit, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Highly recommend and if we are in the area here again we would stay for sure! Thank you to a great hostess!

Great stay in a beautiful location!

We had a lovely stay! The condo was everything we needed. It was in a good location & well maintained. So much to see and do in a beautiful setting. The kids loved the pool, as well as beachcombing a short walk away. We really appreciated all of the detailed information Jacquelyn provided before arrival. The small touches, like a bin of beach toys for our use, was a nice surprise.

Thank you very much for your recent stay, Mika. We are really happy to hear you had a good visit and the kids enjoyed the beach combing and outdoor toys provided in the unit. There is lots to explore within walking distance, especially at low tide, which is so nice for a family vacation. Hope you had a good trip home. ~ Jacquelyn

Wonderful Spot for Family Vacation

We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this unit (especially for those with little ones). Facilities in the resort were amazing. We went to both the indoor and outdoor pools and loved them. The host had a container of pool and beach toys which was so considerate of them. We also loved the proximity of the resort to the beaches. We had meals at the patio watching the sunset. What a perfect vacation!

Perfect family vacation rental, we loved the two conjoined condos. All the Anne ties we needed. They even had a playpen for little ones which was not on the listing. Perfect balcony to watch the sun set. Location was great from short trip into Parksville and Nanaimo both with great waterfront community parks and playgrounds. Host was great to check in to ensure we got welcome email and was available if needed. Highly recommend

The property was even more than we expected. Spacious, great for families or friends travelling together, but you could have your space at the same time. Beds were very comfy, great size kitchen and beautiful views of the water. For families with kids there was an indoor pool, outdoor kids pool 1.7 feet deep, great pirate ship park and outdoor hot tub. For adults or older kids there was pickleball courts, walking paths, outdoor pits, and you could borrow kayaks or paddleboards. A few minutes drive to Parksville for shops n groceries etc.

Summer Holiday

We enjoyed our stay at the condo, but it was very warm and only one fan was supplied. We used the BBQ, but there wasn’t any tools that we could find, so that was difficult.. Our grandsons enjoyed all the facilities that the resort offered!

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 14, 2022
Thank you very much for your stay at the condo! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit and that your grandsons enjoyed the many amenities offered at the resort. The BBQ and the tools are maintained by the condo strata, so it’s unfortunate they weren’t there when you went to use them. We will add some of our own BBQ tools to our condo as well then to help with that for future guests! And even though there is a nice cross breeze off the ocean in the condo, we will add some fans too. Thank you for the suggestion! Hope you had a safe trip home. Thank you again. ~ Jacquelyn

Fun for the family

Our family of four enjoyed our stay. The resort amenities were a lot of fun - pool and beach was ideal. The beds were comfortable and condo was fine. The kitchen is small and not fully functional - stovetop not working properly and small fridge in the "B" unit froze our food. We met a rat in the BBQ but that's probably not unusual for rural / seaside area:) We had to buy our own lighter for the BBQ. The wood frame building isn't very soundproof. Overall we give it 4 stars though for the location, resort amenities, and overall comforts of the condo.
