Beautiful hideaway

This property was lovely. It faces the water, it’s completely private, and access to all that Nanaimo has to offer is convenient. Our hosts were friendly and unobtrusive, and we all enjoyed our stay. Our boys loved the fireplace and the opportunity to watch the sunrise from the deck.

Stay at Savvy Seagull

Very clean, comfortable and quiet for. Any suggestion might be that a motion light be installed near the door. We came in after dark every night and needed to use our phone to see the key pad.

short visit at Seagull suite

The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and cozy.The kitchen was very well equipped, as well as the bathroom. Robes and sandals were a nice touch. Too bad we stayed only 2 days, as we were visiting the family living in Nanaimo during the day. The algae on the steps were slippery, so we had to watch our step. Ray and James were nice and caring hosts.

A Christmas week in Nanaimo

Great location with view of the trees of Neck Point. lots of room in 2-bedroom suite for 2 of us. One bed very firm and 1 softer. Really enjoyed gas fireplace. Full kitchen with almost everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. Only negative were the 32 steps down to our rental suite entrance as it is on a steep lot. The owner and family kindly helped us get our luggage and food supplies down the steps.

About the host

Hosted by Ray Patrick

Why they chose this property

There couldn't be more perfect destination than Nanaimo for holiday makers with opportunities for hiking, kayaking, swimming, skiing and exploring the mountains, shores and lakes. Nanaimo being at the heart of the Vancouver Island being centrally located.
Besides the seaside life, mild temperatures, accessible location of the island, lack of insects like flies and mosquitos; we also enjoyed the convenience of all big stores and supplies, amenities, the friendly neighbors, and wonderful restaurants.
For me Nanaimo holds fabulous opportunities for inspiration from scenic land and oceanscapes and a vast abundance of wildlife viewing opportunities, which made it an obvious choice as the place to settle.
