About this property

Pacific Shores Resort - Creekside Suites - 1 Bedroom - Oceanfront!

This top-floor (4th floor) one bedroom, air conditioned (summer months only) unit, large ensuite (soaker tub), fully-equipped kitchen, large dining room table, private deck and conveniently located right on Craig Bay - oceanfront property. Seasonal water sports available (kayaks, paddle boards & bikes), pickleball courts, indoor pool, indoor hot tub and outdoor hot tub! Perfect for a couples getaway, family gathering to just reconnect with nature and recharge!!! The many trails along the ocean will keep the family busy and satisfied as your explore the property.

This unit is equipped with everything you will need on your vacation and more! Sleeps three adults comfortably - if you need more room, check out the adjoining studio suite - listing number 2895725 - that is the combo of A Unit & B Unit.

Unfortunately, due to health reasons, the owner of the onsite restaurant is closing permanently on March 15, 2026. The resort is trying to get another restaurant in asap but no further details are available at this time. A full-service spa called Pacific Shores Wellness Spa - 250-468-2404 as well as a physio office - Pacific Motion Physiotherapy - 250-586-6633. These are all located in the main building to the right as your drive in. Same building as the pool, hot tub and gym.

Non-smoking & no pets.

Everything you need to relax and enjoy the ocean is here!

This unit is a short drive to:

- Parksville - 7 minutes
- Nanaimo - 20 minutes
- Qualicum - 18 minutes
- French Creek - 16 minutes
- Tofino - 2.5 hours

Lots of beautiful shops within a short drive away, several lakes, lots of hikes or just grab a beach chair and enjoy the quiet location just outside your door. Pacific Shores is a private resort and that means small numbers of people at your private beach. Explore the tidal pools with the family. Walk during low tide and explore what the Salish Sea has to offer.

I am always interested in snowbirds too during our winter months. So if this is something that interests you, please contact me anytime. Big discounts during my off-season and what a beautiful location to explore the Island and mild climate. Guests coming and need more space, rent the B unit and open up the space back up to the two bedroom, two bathroom. Our cleaners can come in and take care of the cleaning, laundry and then upon their departure, lock the connecting doors back up and you enjoy your unit with no stress.

There is lots of extra parking under the pickleball courts and also a gravel lot if you have an extra height vehicle as well.

Come and explore Pacific Shores Resort and stay and relax in my Creekside Retreat unit.

I will be excited to host you and your family soon.

Kim was an amazing host. Communication was so easy from booking right through to check out. The unit was so clean and had literally everything you need and the view was breathtaking. It was a breeze to find things and Kim left such detailed instructions. The amenities were easily accessed. We were able to swim, play basketball, and rent kayaks. The resort is a short drive away from restaurants, cafes, beaches and other sights. Definitely highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Creekside. The unit was perfect for the two of us and the unit had everything we could possibly need, Kim was super helpful and was excellent at communicating. We found the location to be a great jumping off point to be able to explore the area including Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicum, Coombs, Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park, and Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. We didn’t get a chance to take in the properties many amenities, but did take a tour on our last day. The pickleball courts seem to be very popular, and the pools and hot tubs looked great. The trails around the property are well maintained and easy to get around. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the facilities. Would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area.

A pristine space with such attention to detail - everything you can think of and then some. Communication and instructions were easy peasy. A really beautiful and relaxing space with lovely views. We also enjoyed the grounds and the warm community atmosphere. As two grown up kids, we loved having the water and ocean life just outside the door. We will definitely be returning!

What a lovely unit and location! We had everything we needed for an 8 night stay. We were able to cook lots of our own meals and restaurants and grocery stores were close by. Bed was comfy and the soaker tub luxurious after many day hikes. The grounds are beautiful and we woke up every morning to many songbirds along the creek. Would definitely book here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Creek Side Stay! Kim was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and made everything so easy from booking through check-out.The suite was spotless, beautifully maintained, and unbelievably comfortable. The master bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we had some of the best sleeps we’ve had away from home. We also loved the beautiful ocean and creek views, which made it such a peaceful place to relax.The amenities were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tubs, and the cozy fire tables in the evenings. The nearby park was perfect for strolling, and it was such a treat to have a Saturday market right on the grounds. Having all of these amenities within easy walking distance made our stay even more enjoyable.We immensely enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend Creek Side Stay to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable getaway. We would happily stay here again!
