The property was exactly as described. Nice and clean and all the essentials in the kitchen. The hosts were very responsive to questions and everything was clearly communicated (from the check-in process to labelling of the various garbage and recycling bins). Highly recommend.
Great Location! Stayed for a short visit with family, provided just the right about of amenities and comfort. Friendly owner, and was able to assist quickly. Unique Halloween theme made it fun, and I will definitely be booking again, way better than staying overnight with your parents.
A lovely, well equiped apartment with the bonus of a beautiful view from the balcony. Air conditioning unit outside was a little noisy and may disturb light sleepers.
Absolutely wonderful suite. Super clean, quiet awesome space and great view. Highly recommend.

This was a very beautiful, neat, quaint, well-stocked accommodation with a lovely view and the hosts were communicative and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here and were able to relax and wind down at the end of each day.
Our favorite Nanaimo stay yet! Beautiful view of Long Lake from the patio. Fun homey vibe, comfy beds, lots of hot water and had everything else we needed! Would love to stay here again!
Great view with all the amenities needed. Easy to check in and very quiet.

Short Stay in Nanaimo
Beautiful property location that was super convenient for our event. Everything we needed was there. The pullout couch mattress did not inflate so was not useable. The property is to host 4; without the couch that made it only two. We reached out to host via vrbo site for advice on couch but did not hear back. Our daughter and her partner had driven from Victoria to join us but then went to a local hotel instead when we discovered the challenge with the pullout couch. Kitchen and bathroom clean and well stocked. While the Halloween themed decorations would have been fun in October, it seemed a bit out of place for May. Just a thought.
Great communication from the hosts and a pleasure to deal with. Great value and walkable distance to some amenities. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Thanks Craig and Tricia!
The property was in a quiet location. It was easy to book and good contact with the owners. Had everything we needed. Our two year old wasn’t sure what to think of the life sized skeletons at first but he got used to them quickly and found them funny. The bed was very comfy and the patio was lovely for morning tea and breakfast. We would stay again
Such a pleasant cozy spot overlooking the lake. A quiet neighborhood. An absolute gem!!😍❤️ and the spooky season decorations were a most hilarious touch!! Love it!!
We loved the view and the porch overlooking the lake. We appreciated the haunted house theme as that kept it memorable. I was able to easily walk to the shopping center in 10 minutes, though I stopped often to take pictures of the lake and setting. I doubt I ever get back to Vancouver from Ohio, but if I did, would definitely stay here again.
Very clean, spacious, well equipped suite. Not a big fan of the "Hunted House" decoration though. The stove fan was very loud. Outside deck was a bonus! Enjoyed having coffee there in the morning. It was a pleasant stay over all.
Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay at Crystal Hollows. It was very clean. We loved the Halloween theme and the views of the lake. Easy self check in. My only suggestion is for the sofa bed. It was quite uncomfortable and could use an update or pillow topper. I was glad it was my kids on there and not me!
We stayed in this place for one night when I took my family to visit Nanaimo.
It’s a cozy and nice place with super nice view.
The decoration is special. My son had to ask me to cover the skeleton at night because he said he’s a little bit scared of them. 😂
The location is very convenient as well.
In all, I give 100% recommend of the place to anyone who is going to visit Nanaimo.
