This is a wonderful property, with lots of amenities and a great location. From the kitchen to bedroom, we couldn’t really have asked for much more with the place. Our dog loved the very short walk down to the park along the ocean, as well as the balcony with the beautiful view. Brittany was a great host and looked after our stay very well.

For my wife and I visiting my daughter and son in law in Nanaimo, this was a perfect place for the two of us. Clean, well stocked kitchen, and right across from the yahct club and sea wall walkway. Close to downtown but a safe location. Communication with the host was easy and quick. The bedroom is upstairs so people with ambulation difficulties may have trouble. We certainly would stay here again.

It’s close to the yacht club, a city park and a pleasant hiking path along the water front. The unit is adjacent to the owner’s dwelling who visited us when we checked in to answer questions and ensure we were comfortable. There is an apartment between the balcony and the water but the ocean can be seen on either side of the apt. Street parking was good. It is quiet and the kitchen is well equipped. Good location for accessing anywhere in Nanaimo and close to Departure Bay. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Had an amazing stay

Place was great! I loved the kitchen, it had tons of cooking options (pots, pans, slow cooker, etc.) and the place was so clean. It is in a great location to stores and the street is not very busy. We enjoyed sitting out back on the patio every night where you get a bit of a view of the water. Host was great, friendly, and quick to respond. Really glad we chose this place to stay for the week :)

Perfect location, great space, kind host

We really enjoyed our stay at Brittany's place! She lives right next door and introduced herself to make sure we were settled and comfortable, was helpful and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The place is clean and spacious, and very private. We never needed to drive anywhere downtown, the sea walk path is one block down the road from the house and made it easy to walk to town for food and coffee whenever. Loved the big soaker bathtub and the large kitchen! Thanks Brittany!

It's behind other residential properties, and yes, has some wonderful views...when viewed from particular angles. From the title, we were expecting more. It's still a really nice location, and a very nice, modern-looking property. We recommend it.

Spacious, well equipped, great location, outstanding host

The unit exceeded our expectations. Well equipped kitchen with lots of cabinets and counter space. My wife cooked each night we were there. Lot of space overall. Full size washer and dryer. Large walk-in shower plus soaking tub. Lots of counter space in full bath. Also a separate half bath. Bedroom on 2nd floor so if stairs are an issue this isn't for you. However, Bedroom is good size. Lot of closet space and drawer space. Comfortable bed. Sleeper sofa in living room. We had no need to use so can't comment on comfort. Enjoyed the back deck with view of water and nice fresh air flow. Location is easy to get to from Departure Bay where ferry comes in and is close to downtown. Also easy access to Highway 19 and 19A. Parking on street in front. Best part is the host. Responsive, accessible, friendly and caring about guests. Answered our questions no matter how silly they might have been promptly. Highly recommend. Hope you enjoy staying there as much as we did.

If you want to be able to walk to downtown and along the seawall, this is a great place. Catching a Harbour Air flight to Vancouver is a 15 minute walk along the water.This is a solidly built house with a well equipped kitchen, so cooking is easy. It is on a busy street, but the living areas are at the back so the traffic noise is minimized. Bring your own shower toiletries because none are provided. There are lots of towels on hand, however. The bed is comfortable. We enjoyed our our one week stay.
