As a home away from home we couldn’t ask for better. Everything was easy to find and well stocked that we could settle in quickly. There was even ice in the trays ready for our after-travel drinks. The view was incredible, and immediately we knew that even if we didn’t go anywhere we would be able to relax just sitting on the deck or in the amazing recliners looking out the oversized windows.That said, Laura provided some suggestions of things to do which guided our excursions and made for some enjoyable adventures without a lot of driving! The shower had excellent pressure and almost instant hot water. There were plenty of soft towels and even cloths specifically for taking off makeup. In addition, the grounds had space for the family to play bocce and there were also horseshoe pits, tennis/pickleball courts and a badminton net set up. The caretaker ensured the pool and hot tub were clean each day. It seemed like everything was taken care of. All in all, we could have spent longer as it truly was a home away from home with the added benefit of being by the ocean! Almost don’t want to give all 5 stars so that it is too booked up to go again! Thanks for a great start to our summer!

Exceptional view but in need of some TLC

The most impressive aspect of this unit in a multi-condo property is its exceptional and unobstructed view over the water! The interior and equipment could benefit from some renovation. Be aware that the location is quite isolated, so bring your groceries with you since the closest large grocery store are about 20 minutes away. Overall, we had a very nice stay at that property!

Needs a lot of work!

This property is dated and dirty. The whole condo needs painting. The dishwasher doesn’t work, the carpets are filthy. Half the chairs are broken. Inside the kitchen cupboards is very dirty, full of crumbs, droppings etc. Musty smell. Stair carpets not vacuumed. No bar soap in the bathroom. It should not be rented again until these things are fixed

Sorry we have had a busy summer and we have been planning to renovate in October. We have already ordered new furniture. My cleaners are top notch and I assure you the place is clean but just out of date and in need of new furniture and a major renovation.

What a view - Unforgettable Stay

It's like going to grandma's cabin, with all that goes with it – a homey feel, wicker furniture, and tons of 80's style mirrors. There are also odds and ends that could use updating, including some outlets that don't work. Not to mention the dog hair. The place is generally tidy (although there was a pile of dog food in the upstairs closet when we arrived), and if you have a pet you probably won't notice the smell and coating of dog hair. For us who don't, it wasn't ideal. Also the blinds only sort of block the light, so you're up at sunrise and your kids won't sleep before sunset. You may want to bring a sleeping mask. Despite that, being twenty yards from the ocean, and the stunning view makes you forget all about it. There is tons of wildlife in the ocean and along the beach, the pool is awesome, and the kids had fun on the tennis court. It was a wonderful stay and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Since your stay more than 3 years ago, we have done a top-to-bottom renovation and we are managing our own unit again. Our cleaners are exceptional. When we ran our inn we won the AB Good Housekeeping award 10 years in a row. Check us out.

Awesome place, but communication with owner could be improved

My family and I have stayed at Inn of the Sea for a week in the summer for few years now, each year bringing a bunch of friends out, so we we’ve experienced a number of units and property managers. In summary: this unit could be easily be one of the best units on the property, but communication with Scott the property manager was tricky at times. First: the unit. Located at the south end of the top floor of the ocean-side building, the views are unparalleled. It is also one of the more centrally located units so you’re never far from the pool, dock, tennis court, or other units. If you’re lucky the Wi-Fi will reach the pool, which is great because cell service at the property is spotty. Many of the units at Inn of the Sea are somewhat dated, and this one in no exception. While it comes with everything you need, there are no bells and whistles that many other units include. With this unit, what you see in the listing is what you get. Next: check-in and communication with the host (Scott). I am a short term rental host (on another platform) so my critique comes from experience. My main issue is that we arrived at the property with out the check-in info and with no way of accessing the unit. No check-in info had been uploaded to VRBO. Scott hadn’t responded to my VRBO messages requesting the info and I had nothing in my email inbox. After calling him upon arrival, Scott said that he had emailed me the check-in info 2 months previous and that I should check my spam folder. Well, as most do, my spam folder auto-deletes messages after 30 days. I told him that I didn’t have the info, so he gave me the door access code over the phone and we were able to access the unit. Scott never ended up resending me the info, though. We made due because some site info was written down inside the unit and we were already familiar with the property as a whole, but some important details were missing (such as the Wi-Fi password). Luckily, some friends rented this unit last year and were able to share the password with us. I heard from Scott again immediately after our stay to tell us that the cleaners were unhappy to find that we had used the spare set of bed sheets. We were there for 10 days during a heat wave, and there was no indication that the spare sheets were not to be used. Maybe he mentioned it in the email that I never saw, but I couldn’t tell you. Overall: 5-stars for location, 3.5 stars for check-in and communication.

Peaceful

Wonderful property. Perfect location, on the water, stunning sunrises and sunsets, away from the crowds, but close enough to attractions for all. Highly recommend a leisurely stroll through Chemainus to view the murals. Scott and Patricia were great hosts. From the time I made the reservation they were quick and responsive to any concern. We had a minor issue with the wifi TV setup, and Scott had Shaw contact us quickly to resolve the issue. We recommend this property as a true gem.

We absolutely loved our 6-month stay here. Scott was so responsive and professional, going to great lengths to get our cable package upgraded so we could get all of the sports channels to serve our passion. The view is absolutely spectacular and the apartment is well appointed. We enjoyed our experience so much that we have booked it again for this fall.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Tocher

Host profile image
*Under new management in 2025 (the owners!)*
Our family spent more than two decades running an inn in Alberta's Rocky Mountains and now we're back renting our Vancouver Island condo. We love hosting and hope you will enjoy our place as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

My folks discovered the Inn of the Sea more than 30 years ago on a drive from Victoria to the north Island. They stayed one night and fell in love. The next morning they bought this unit for our family to gather on the coast. We now rent it out to others to enjoy the place we have loved for so many years.

What makes this property unique

Most loved - gorgeous views, large and spacious end-unit, quiet and peaceful. Newly renovated, new appliances and furniture, lots of original local art!
