About the host

Hosted by Maureen and Phil

Host profile image
East coast meets west coast! The beauty of living in a temperate rainforest is that we are always close to beautiful gardens and lush forests. This climate is perfect for our gardening endeavors. Our front garden contains many flowers and our back garden grows our vegetables and fruit trees. We love being outside and near the water. Nanaimo and Vancouver Island have so much to offer.

Why they chose this property

Our neighbourhood is in the centre of the Old City Quarter: not directly in the downtown core, but close. There are many older homes on our streets. We are close to the best restaurants in Nanaimo. Everything is walking distance to us.

What makes this property unique

Our house has the look of an older Cape Cod home, but it was built in 2007. This gives the comfort of a newer building, but in the interesting style of the neighbourhood. The suite is decorated with locally made art. We care about your comfort. The mattresses are wonderful. We provide lots of bedding. We use Bamboo sheets … the best! You can relax by the fire, or you can be outside on the patio and enjoy the garden in your own space. We are friendly but respect your privacy, We welcome everyone.
