We had a wonderful stay in Nanoose Bay! The downstairs apartment had everything we needed and the view was spectacular! The hosts were quick to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed. We would totally stay here again if we are ever in the area.
We loved every minute of being in this suite. The location is gorgeous and the hosts are wonderful. We will never stay anywhere else when we are in the area.
Very quiet, beautiful view,great deck for lounging, comfortable beds, great rain shower, beach access best for those with good mobility, met our expectations. Thank you.
The cleanest VRBO I’ve ever been in, inside and out. Larger than it looks like in the pictures. Even though there are houses around, it was very peaceful and quiet. The hosts make sure you have anything you need. A good home base to check out the surrounding areas.
The pictures just barely do it justice! All rooms face south with a lovely view over Nanoose Bay. A beautiful patio with table to sit out at. The attention to detail over every aspect of the suite was amazing. We had a wonderful stay and have already recommeded it to friends. Owners were engaging and first class.
This was a wonderful place for us. Marek and Danuta are thoughtful, friendly, and kind hosts. One example was their sharing of blackberries that they picked with us. We had great conversations and in general it was a pleasure to meet them. Their place is well-designed and perfect for two people. The extensive balcony provides fantastic views while adding a sense of space to the place. We were there for a month and enjoyed every day. A good bed for my balky back. Watching the eagles over the bay was a real bonus.
Owners were very friendly. Great view from deck overlooking Nanoose bay. Watching nesting eagles and deer was very entertaining. Central location great for exploring island. Very nice suit.
The apartment is very nice and functional! The house is quite new, with good windows that seal properly and interesting infrared heating from the ceiling. Everything works well. I enjoyed the water saving shower handset very much, although there's also an overhead rainshshower if you want to. The kitchen is fully equipped, a joy to work in. I had a really nice stay, the hosts are very accommodating.

It was a pleasure to host Frank and we enjoyed meeting him. He left the place in a spotless condition - almost as if he had not even been there!
We will be happy to have hm return sometime.

The suite is very clean, new and well-equipped. The views from every window are beautiful....... even in the rain!
We appreciated the private entrance, but this did include an indoor flight of stairs, down to the suite. Therefore, you need to be able to carry your belongings up and down, etc.
The owners, and their 2 dogs, who live above, are quiet and very helpful.
We had a really great stay with Marek and Danota at their apartment
A wonderful place, great view over, Nanose bay. The weather was great, lots of 🌞 and we enjoyed day trips to different spots around Nanaimo 😀.

We enjoyed meeting Fred and Ursula during their stay in our suite. They left the suite in excellent condition. We look forward to hosting them again next year.
Marek’s property was an ideal spot for our stay. It is a new unit with an excellent floor plan and with a view of the bay that was better than expected. It is a great location to serve as a base for exploring the region. The unit was very spacious for 3 people and very nicely decorated. Marek was easy to communicate with as he lives above the unit but he gave us all the privacy we needed. We will be back to Nanoose Bay to explore this incredible region.

Brent and his family were great guests. The suite was left very clean.
We would be happy to host them again.
This was our first time staying the Nanoose Bay area & we're so glad we found this beautiful location. The view across the bay is spectacular, especially for Prairie people. Marek & Danuta are friendly, helpful, considerate hosts & the suite was perfect for our holiday needs.
Many thanks!
This property is lovely. Such a beautiful position to enjoy the quietness of the area and the scenery. The suite is clean and nicely appointed with all that you need.
All contact with the owners was easy and straight forward, as were the welcoming instructions. Very kind owners who made sure everything was as it should be and made it clear they were available for any questions etc.
Good recommendations for local food.
Great stay, would love to go back.
The space was just like the pictures..very new and modern. Loved the view and seen so much wild life..seals, whales, eagles and many bunnies. It was a perfect quiet cozy get away.

Thank you for your kind comments. We are happy you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to a return visit sometime.
My husband and I stayed here for just over two weeks and were delighted with absolutely everything. It was so clean, so comfortable and The views were incredible. The owners were so friendly and checked in periodically to see if we needed anything. We had everything we needed and more. The king size bed was a nice touch as well! They certainly thought of everything when building this AirBNB and the decor was just fabulous. We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending this to our family and friends.
