It was a second time going to the inn at the sea. The condo we had this time was immaculate, very well appointed and had the best view!We just might become regulars!
we enjoyed our stay, wonderful place, and one of the place I could see our family return for another vacation.

Thank you Ming! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at our gorgeous condo! We would be honoured to add you to the growing list of returning guests😀

Wonderful! The location was great - with an amazing view. Our family spent hours every day walking the shoreline at low tide - looking at all sorts of sea life (crabs, star fish, anemone, shells etc). The condo was extremely well stocked and the resort has great facilities (tennis, basketball, playground, pool, hot tub, more) Even though there is no AC - there were tons of fans to help cool down the unit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - and can’t wait to go back.
Beautiful clean condo ..... had everything we need.
Fully stocked kitchen met all our needs, lots of bedding, bath and pool towels etc.
View is stunning, beach is rocky but the kids loved exploring!
Caretaker on property was a little tough to take sometimes, but didn't let it ruin our vacation.
Very couple and family friendly

Kylie thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you enjoyed our slice of paradise, we enjoyed hosting you and would welcome you and your family back again😊
I have sent you a private email about the issue with the caretaker as I would appreciate more information if you are willing to give it to help us all get better!
All The Best!

We had a fantastic stay and the condo exceeded our expectations. Everything one would need for a week's stay was included right down to the fresh coffee beans. Communication from the owner was extremely helpful without being intrusive. One note: the upper floor gets extremely hot in warm weather. Thankfully there are multiple fans and shades that can be used to mitigate this to some degree - and of course there's the wonderful pool and crystal clear ocean just steps from the door!
We really cannot rave about this property enough: the venue - long walks on the beach were amazing; the stylish and spacious interiors of the suite; the ocean view; the location - close to both the Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo for the ferry; simply wonderful. We absolutely loved the Cedar farmers market on Sunday too! We will 100% be back.

Hi Marisa
Thank you for your review - it really helps other travelers know what to expect! I really appreciated all of your patience and understanding as we had to change your unit, but I knew you would love it! Please don't hesitate to reach out when you are ready for your next Island Vacay!!!
Denise
This was our second time to Inn of the Sea and the first in this unit. It is beautiful and has literally everything you need for a vacation and more including things you didn’t know you’ll need (except laundry detergent and in suite laundry, so pack loonies as it’s close on the property and very convenient to use). The view and the pool can’t be beat for an island getaway. Thanks for hosting us!

Thanks Elizabeth! There are actually some laundry pods under the sink, but you definitely need loonies! I’m so glad you enjoyed the condo, pretty hot weather for your stay, nice to have the ocean and the pool at your front door!
Denise
This property, and the unit specifically is amazing. We travel regularly as a family, and typically rent 2-3 bedroom condos to accommodate our family of 5. This was easily the best stocked kitchen we have ever had! The pool and the rest of the property are great, and the surrounding area has so many outdoor activities for the whole family. We would not hesitate to rent from Denise again, thanks for hosting us!

Thank you Don what a nice review! I am so happy you and the family enjoyed our little slice of heaven and hope to see you again soon!

Our second time visiting Inn of the Sea. After our last visit to the area I knew we would be back.
If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing time away in nature with incredible views this is your place!
Denise’s unit suited our family of 4 perfectly. Everything we could possibly need to cook, relax and sleep comfortably was available in the unit. The king size bed in the main bedroom was a plus as were the modern appliances. The unit itself was clean and tastefully decorated.
Would definitely recommend to others or stay again!

Girls weekend
Beautiful view, nice condo but we had several issues, one being the property manager showed up trying to change our rules in our contract, secondly our fridge broke down and we lost a lot of money in food, with having no transportation to get more. Took hours for property manager to respond to us and to bring us at least some ice. Would never stay there again.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. As you know, reviews are an important factor when making travel decisions. I am certain that the review rate (4.97/5) on my property, along with the many comments that recognize my responsiveness as a host, were factors in your decision to book with me. Your 1 star review is in stark contrast with all of the previous reviews, so I am sure that this might cause confusion for future travellers. My goal is to provide some clarity here in my response.
Unfortunately, your “girl’s weekend” was actually a “bachelorette party”. I am clear in my listing that I do not allow events therefore had I known this, I would not have allowed you to book. Also unfortunate was that by 8pm, I had already received several complaints about excessive noise, crude language, and inappropriate behaviour happening on my ocean facing deck (which was on full display to all of the families as they came back to their own vacation condos from the ocean, pool or dock). I felt it was prudent for me to drive to the Resort to evaluate the situation and to speak to you in person. I am disappointed that you would perceive this as “changing the rules” when in fact it was “reminding you of the rules”.
Regarding the refrigerator, as you are aware and as our text history shows, within 1 hour of your message alerting me that the main refrigerator was no longer cooling, I had someone come to troubleshoot the issue, and at the same time I reminded you that you should put your “must be refrigerated” food into the secondary fridge located in the downstairs bedroom. This, together with the fact that you were only staying at the condo for 2 nights in total - one of which was already completed - makes it difficult to understand how you “lost a lot of money in food”. You seem to have forgotten that you also had use of the wine fridge and that within 2 hours of your initial text I had a cooler with ice delivered to your door, despite your assurance that this was not necessary.
Regarding your lack of transportation, I always recommend that guests bring a car to the resort as it is fairly remote. Relying on limousine service, as your party did, would not have been a recommendation that I would have given.
Finally, you leave out of the review that you texted me on your check out morning asking for a late check out as your limousine was not actually scheduled to pick you up until 12:45 (checkout is 11am). You may recall that I swiftly moved my cleaner’s schedule around to accommodate this request at NO COST to you.
I hope the next time you decide to have such an event that you are able to find a more suitable venue.
We are 4 friends who decided on the property because of its location and amenities. We were not disappointed. There was a slight delay with our ability to check in to the property, but it didn't matter as we got to meet Denise and enjoy a glass of wine with her! The property is very spacious and enjoys wonderful views. Denise has a very well equipped kitchen and I joked that I was prepared to steal her spice drawer! :-) While it was overcast and rainy for most of our trip there, our group loved hearing the rain on the skylight! When we informed Denise about a slight snag in our stay (the hot tub was unexpectedly unavailable during our stay), she really went above and beyond in her response. I have already recommended this space to others and I know that everyone in our party is interested in returning with their own partners and families. I'm so glad we found this lovely and clean space for a short weekend away during this pandemic!

Thank you Jennifer for choosing to stay! Your group was such a joy to host, I did not want to leave after meeting you!
Thank you for being so understanding about the new blinds being installed that delayed your check in, and for letting me know about the hot tub so I could get an eta on the fix for future guests! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and would be more than happy to rent to each of you or all of you again!

PS all spices accounted for!!!
Wonderful condo with break taking views. It was very clean and well lit. Perfect spot for our wedding weekend. The property manager was incredibly prompt when answering questions and so helpful, I would highly recommend this rental and will be back!
Our stay at inn of the sea was amazing
The host Denise made sure our every need was met
Both units were well stocked ,clean , modern
The property is a gem right on the ocean
I recommend you give it a try
This apartment is simply amazing for location, views, comfort and it has everything you could possibly need for a holiday. We were a 3 generation group and it suited us all. The only thing I would suggest, and it is a small thing, is that there is space to store groceries. Because of covid there were few restaurants serving meals without long wait times so it was easier to eat in. We travelled from U.K. and had a memorable holiday both here and in parksville. We highly recommend this apartment.
Denise was highly kind and communicative. Beautiful view, great pool. Fully equiped kitchen, lots of towels. On site laundry with loonies. Nice tennis court. Awesome entertainment unit.
Would recommend to other families. Giving it a four as Its a bit remote from town, lots of stairs, and was hot!! Measured 29 in Condo. Needs A/C but Wifi worked.
Would be perfect for cooler weather!
The property was beyond expectations! Absolutely beautiful, with full ocean front view (amazing sunrise)!
The suite is super clean, beautifully decorated with an amazing kitchen with everything you would possibly need to cook anything at all!
My kids loved the pool/hot tub right on the ocean. The ocean was so warm here (early July, I was told by a boat measurement around 72 degrees F) we swam everyday, loved jumping off the dock and swimming at the beach!
Many beautiful running/hiking trails nearby (within 5km) that we also enjoyed daily.
The host was so organized and accommodating!
Thanks again! We can’t wait to come back!

Hi Heather,
Thank you for your review of our property! I am so pleased that you and the family enjoyed our Condo and the Inn of the Sea resort! I get so much pleasure knowing that other people enjoy our slice of heaven. I can not wait to host your family again!
Denise.
We stayed in Denise's 216/316 units for the week of July 18-25/20. The 2 units can be rented as one, to become a 2bdrm 2bath rental, which was perfect for us, as we were 2 couples.
Whatever your need, Denise had already thought of it. From zip-locks to q-tips. EVERYTHING was there! We had a blast!
Since we travelled during COVID, Denise was very accommodating, and offered to work with us, in case we needed to cancel.... and I must say that communicating with Denise was one of the best parts of renting this unit! Such a sense of humour. Fortunately, we did not have to cancel, but that pressure was off if we had needed to, so that we could focus on planning our trip.
With respect to the unit itself, it is beautifully decorated, with an "ocean/beach' theme which made coming "home" very welcomed. There is zero cell service in the unit itself, which is so weird coming from a city, but apparently common on the island. But wifi was perfect. View from the upper balcony is to die for, with an unobstructed view of the Ocean. The balcony is shaded most of the day. There are 3 bbq stations on the property, with one of the nicest bbqs located right behind this unit, in the parking lot area. During busy times, there are 2 stations quite close to each other that one could keep an eye on, to see which one was free. An idea would be to have a flag or something which could be raised when the bbq was in use, as it was difficult to see from the unit itself.
The balcony on the lower level (unit 216), is very teeny, and close to a Juliete-style, as it only fits 1 adult comfortably. There is also a back balcony off the kitchen, which came in handy for storage. Since it might be an issue for some, be advised that 37 stairs gets you to the living area.
The entire resort uses water from a cistern, - never an issue while we were there.
We were disappointed in the firepit area, since it was located beside the pool, and not down on the beach. We would've felt guilty having campfire smoke blow into the beachfront units at night.
Because of the distancing measures in effect, we never did end up using the firepit area, or the pool/hot tub. (Although, they did have quite an excellent system in place for using the pool on a reserve basis.) One for the firepit area, might be idea, too?
The park area out back was one of our favorite places to relax, as there was plenty of elbow room, with sun, shaded areas, & games. Would we go back? Hell ya. :)
We were welcomed with open arms and with ease. Location is prime, literally steps from the ocean with amazing views from the balcony/patio. We will definitely come back here. Thank you!
We decided on this property after seeing the amazing pictures online. Denise the owner made the booking very easy for us, and left us a hand written welcome note in the room. The place was very cleaned and well equipped with everything we needed (and so much more!). It was our first time in Cedar, and we will definitely be back! Proximity to the beach was a plus with our dog, and the pool was a great bonus on a hot summer day. Thank you Denise and see you soon!
