It was a comfortable and mostly quiet suite. Occasionally we could hear people and a dog walking around in the upper level of the house. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The parking spot at the front of the house was appreciated. The hot tub is shared with the owners of the home so an appointment is required to book a time for use.

We had a lovely time staying at this location. It is very accessible from the ferry terminal and downtown Nanaimo. The rooms are very clean. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, they also prepared a useful instructional booklet for how-to’s and local recommendations. Booking the time for hot tub was very easy as well.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We moved to Nanaimo 17 years ago from Alberta and absolutely love it here! It is so wonderful to still be able to golf and ride our bikes even in the winter months. There are more than 30 golf courses on the island and we have enjoyed many of them. Nanaimo, the whole Island, and the surrounding Islands, are a hiker's and biker's paradise (pedal bikes and motor bikes!).

Why they chose this property

We really like the fact that we are only a 5 minute walk to Linley Valley trails, where you can spend many a day exploring just that area alone. We are also only a 5 minute drive from Departure Bay Beach and Piper's Lagoon. Our neighborhood is very quiet, friendly, and safe.

What makes this property unique

When we go to other VRBO's, we really like the option of a hot tub, so we wanted that to be an attraction for our guests. We have strived to equip the kitchen with anything and everything our guests could possibly need to enhance and enjoy their stay!
