Lovely condo with all the amenities you need in one of the most beautiful spots in the province

My family and I have been visiting this location every summer for 8 years. The Inn of the sea is a great location for families. You have both the beach and the pool, both of which, can provide hours and hours of fun. The condo is lovely; recently renovated, warm and clean and has all you need to make your stay feel like home. Highly recommended!

Perfectly quiet and relaxing

Was looking for some place really quiet and easy to relax for a couple of days before meeting up with family in Victoria. It was so peaceful here! Pretty much spent all day just sitting on the patio soaking it in. Cooked a couple of nice meals -- kitchen was well set up and had a good variety of cookware. A friend came over from the mainland and slept on the hide-a-bed; he said it was an especially comfortable one, so good to know. Would definitely stay again.

R&R

Very relaxing and peaceful spot! Not right on the water so you need to get up and go for a walk to enjoy the sunrise, but it is well worth the walk and time on the dock! Nicely updated and comfortable condominium. Thoroughly enjoyed our mornings, walking the tide waters and beach-combing. The unit is only 20min from Ladysmith, and has some very good pub/restaurants close by. Thanks for letting enjoy your condo!

Perfect staycation!

We are unable to get away for any decent length of time so this two nighter was fantastic for us! Had just the right amenities to feel like we were on a real vacation. (The woods, the water, the BBQ set ups and pool) Everything we needed was available in the condo. Would stay again!

Fraudulent view pictures

Bryan; I am sorry to hear that our view was not as you expected. However, all of the pictures provided on our website show the exact views from our condo. Picture #5 and 12 show the view from our living room with the front condos to the right and ocean view to the left. Alongside the various photos of our unit, we have provided pictures of the resorts front lounging area, the beach, dock, pool area, etc, showing the amenities of the resort. Our welcome guide also explains that we are the in back building. In no way am I trying to be deceptive with my photos.

Excellent 1 bedroom condo - great condition; comfortable and lovely location. A few steps bring you right to the ocean front and the view across the Islands to the coastal mountains, the call of the birds in the morning. Peaceful and enjoyable despite the November rain.

great spot if you are looking to unplug

The condo is very clean and modern and stays cool in the evening even though the temp hit 30 deg C during the day. The complex is very family friendly as there were lots of young families around but noise was never an issue for us. There isn't anything in walking distance in terms of restaurants/pubs so you will have to drive to get to sort of place. The owner was great to deal with and even provided a crib and high chair for our little guy. The lack of in suite washer/dryer was a bit of a bummer considering we stayed a full week but there is laundry facilities on the condo grounds. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful, secluded waterfront condo with nice amenities

We stayed at the Inn of the Sea and had a great time. We appreciated the comforts of the well maintained condo and grounds, the walks by the ocean in the evening. My son loved the pool and the badminton net. Its close proximity to the highway made it easy to sightsee the coast. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to the island and recommend others to stay here too!
