Wonderful gettaway at Nanoose Bay. The whole place was nicely laid out with comfortable furnishings and nicely decorated. The bedrooms were large each with its own comfortable king size bed and full bathrooms and sitting areas with decks attached. The pictures did not capture how bright this unit was and the views of the water once the tide was in. We appreciated the elevator with trolleys to move our baggage easily to the fourth floor. The unit was nicely cleaned, communications with the property manager was responsive and clear and the resort offered amenities. It is an excellent location ckose to beaches, stores and restaurants. We hope to come again.

Everything was clean and kitchen utensils and cookware were comprehensive. Only small issue was that the prior tenant must have had a pet in the room so there were some dog fur on the floor, not visible to the eyes, but you can see it on your slippers at the end of the day.

A bright, well furnished, clean and open unit. The kitchen was very well equipped. The children loved the pool and hot tub. Only a few minutes drive to either Rathtrevor Beach or Parksville Community Park and Beach (perfect for the kids). The only thing that would have made it even better would have been if it had been more walkable to beaches, shops etc.

Wonderful location and condo

Really clean and updated condo with 2 king beds and a single pull out which made our stay with our 3 kids work really well. The pathways by the ocean below were awesome to go for a walk as well as looking for shells. Was awesome to watch the tide come in and go out each day, very picturesque spot!
