Just 90 minutes from Victoria and 20 minutes from Nanaimo, right on the ocean front. Feel the gentle ocean breezes, listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves just 60 feet from the 2 private decks as you enjoy the peace and tranquility of this spectacular, luxury vacation condo. This spacious 1400 sq. ft. waterfront unit has the best panoramic view in the complex and is located in the much sought after OCEANFRONT BUILDING among a total of 4 buildings in this resort.

The property is set on 3.5 acres of picturesque waterfront nestled amongst the pristine Gulf Islands of British Columbia overlooking the Strait of Georgia and offers a natural paradise with breathtaking scenery. Savor the sights and sounds of nature like deer, river otters, bald eagles fishing for salmon, wild mink, seals and sea lions.

Try beachcombing, hiking or birdwatching. For a great workout try kayaking on the palcid clear waters or have an invigorating tennis game on site. Cool off in the huge 48x28' pool or relax in the spacious hot tub. You are also just minutes from golfing, kayaking, parks, hiking trails, whale watching salmon fishing. Enjoy a gourmet meal at Mahle House Restaurant just 15 minutes north or visit the English style pub, Crow And Gate.

Take a day trip to Tolfino or Long Beach to watch the magnificent Pacific Ocean waves. Or to Parksville for the mile long white sandy beach. Or go to Campbell River to catch the big salmons. So much to do that you would wish that you had more time to stay here.

This will be a unique vacation experience you will never forget. It's a the centre of Vancouver Island at its best.

Perfect Stay with Stunning Ocean Views at Inn of the Seas!

Our stay at "Inn of the Seas" near Ladysmith, BC, was absolutely perfect! The ocean view from the unit was stunning, and we were thrilled to see several eagles right from the balcony. The unit was impeccably clean and wonderfully quiet, providing a peaceful retreat for our vacation. The wifi was excellent, allowing us to work remotely without any interruptions, including seamless WebEx meetings. The host provided a comprehensive welcome package that made the check-in process easy and ensured we had all the information we needed for an enjoyable stay. The location is fantastic, with great restaurants just a short drive away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend staying at this unit at "Inn of the Seas." We're already looking forward to our next visit!

View, view, view

This property has everything you need. A beautiful view of the ocean from the deck or from a comfy couch inside! A hot tub to soothe your weary body after a long day of hiking. A laundry facility so you don't have to pack as much clothing. Horseshoe pit, tennis (pickleball?) court, a dock to sit on and contemplate life. We love coming here.

Ocean view

We enjoyed waking up and seeing the ocean right outside the window! Very quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed was provided. We did miss having Netflix. That would be a worthwhile upgrade. Certainly a big enough place for two. Each bedroom has it's own full bathroom. The second bedroom is downstairs and is a separate suite. Not a problem though.

Terry has a fantastic place. Be prepared to sit and enjoy the view while being undisturbed by a cell phone. The quiet surroundings, the hot tub, the nearby parks are all so relaxing. This unit is sparkling clean! You can drive to restaurants, pubs, shopping. Or you can just prepare your meals at the condo. Thanks again for a beautiful.holiday!

35e anniversaire de mariage.

Un endroit magnifique sur le bord de la baie de Georgia. Le condo était impeccable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire et même plus. La piscine chauffée et le spa sont un atout. La piscine est située sur la berge rocheuse d'où on contemple la mer. Le condo est bien situé pour les attractions. Nous avons beaucoup aimé.

What a hidden gem.

Check in process was super easy. The welcome package the host emailed us was clear and concise to help us get there and find the resort. What an amazing view. You literally don't need to go anywhere else. Except for food that is but that's a short drive to the nearest convenience store.

Just a fabulous condo and amazing location!

As advertised, the condo was lovely and the ocean views spectacular! The pool was large and well maintained, as was the hot tub. We had brought 2 kayaks and were able to safely launch them from the on site dock. We were also blessed with perfect weather so our 3 day Girl's Getaway was our best one yet! Thank you Terry!

Stunning view

Downstairs apartment suite was a perfect room for us parents to sleep, with the teens upstairs in main suite. Communication with owners was so easy. Property was clean. One evening we saw 3 orca from our balcony and the next night we saw a seal. Restarants, farmers market and activities within 15 minutes of property. Pool was great (but very deep!). We will definately be back!

Very clean condo and well-kept property located on the shore of the east side of the island.

The rental process was easy and the pictures of the condo gave an accurate depiction. We were so taken by the beauty of the area that we decided to spend more time at the condo instead of driving around the island.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Lo

We are professionals, now retired. Kingsley was an architect, with his wife Terry assisting in management.

We rented a condo suite in this resort for a few summers and fell in love with it. So, we begged someone to sell us this waterfront unit.

We have totally renovated to suit our taste, including artworks to reflect the waterfront theme. We welcome guests who share our enjoyment of this condo and who would treat it like their own home.

Why they chose this property

There are many units in this resort, and only a limited few are on the waterfront row. This unit has been renovated tastefully and furnished with high quality furniture.

What makes this property unique

You can choose to be very active on the beach, hiking, swimming, cycling, tennis etc., or just sit back in the leather rocking recliner to watch the view, with a glass of wine or coffee in your hand. Wake up to watch the dramatic sunrise from the front deck, or stroll along the waterfront to watch the romantic moon, listening to the music of the breeze at night.
