About the host
Hosted by Joy Sarauer
We are long time residents of Nanaimo having lived on this 3.5 acre property since 1991 and love the ease of access to outdoor spaces, the ferry and airports. Great restaurants and shopping abound - it really is a great little city to explore! We bought when the area was quite rural but even though the neighborhood has built up around us it still has a very small neighborly feel, there is even a wonderful market garden a two minute walk down the road from us. They operate late spring to late summer, great produce and very wonderful people.
Why they chose this property
We are really close to downtown Nanaimo and the waterfront and only a couple of minutes by car to the island highway if you want to day trip south or north on the island. Location is close to grocery stores as well if you want to make your meals at your home away from home. If you do like to cook your meals just let us know what your favorites are, we can steer you to a really great bakery, meat shop, seafood, produce - whatever your passion is, these are all very close by. It's very quiet here with blackout motorized hotel style shades and custom drapes so you can nest and rest!
What makes this property unique
The seasonal summer pool is open and ready for some fun from June - September This is a sports pool, 5 feet deep so no diving allowed. But lots of area for swimming and relaxing for all. We've completely redone the pool and surrounding gardens this year, they look spectacular!
Enjoy!
