We have stayed in several rentals in different countries but this was the best ever! Immaculately clean, ample provisions, discreet labeling to guide guests, gracious and welcoming hosts, ocean view, private beach and the tang of salt air. It was a wonderful getaway for my husband, myself and our dog.

Beautiful Nanoose Bay Home

If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet and scenic place to stay, then this is the place to stay. Gina and Rick are great owners who take pride in their home and rental. It’s a home away from home but with a direct view to the ocean. I would highly recommend this place. I will be definitely be returning in the future.

Spring on the Island.

The suite was awesome. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need. The area it is located is beautiful and the beach was great for hiking. The wildlife was up close and personal. We saw at least 50 sea lions swimming with 50 feet of the shoreline. The hosts were friendly and took an active interest in our needs.

An Amazing Rental

This is a great choice for both a scenic and peaceful getaway! The suite is very comfortable and exceedingly well-furnished with everything necessary and more. It is really terrific to be so close to the waterfront and to have such great views form the deck. The owners generously allow access to the sitting area near the water. The resource binder is chock full of pertinent information and very clear instructions for a stay. Signage throughout the suite makes life so easy when looking for something or wondering how to handle things like recycling, laundry, etc. Very close to activities like visiting Nanaimo, The Old Country Market in Coombs, beach walks, etc. Definitely a place to return to.
