House holiday rentals in Nanaimo

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed the experience. The place is incredibly spacious, peaceful, and had everything we needed—actually more than we expected. It was spotless, modern, and well-equipped, including a dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The yard was lovely, and parking was very convenient. It's just a short 5–10 minute walk to the beach, though the walk is a bit steep. My whole family loved the place—it was quiet and relaxing, and we really appreciated having our privacy. The host was friendly and easy to reach with any questions. We also loved the great selection of teas and really appreciated the cookies—such a thoughtful touch!

Everyone in our family enjoyed our stay in Judy's place. It's well stocked, comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed the games and had time to even use the BBQ in the back. Definitely would recommend this place. All the rooms had comfortable, large beds.

From the moment we contacted Jane, she was welcoming and kind. We found everything we needed in her home. Our dogs loved the local walks and so did we! It was so comfortable, from the beds to the living room, we didn’t want to leave!

House even larger than expected. Lots of space for a big party - people could find their own quiet spot. Master bath luxurious. Kitchen well appointed. Private and quiet location. Not walkable but everything a short drive away. Pool and patio not open at end of April as still considered too cold - would have been even better with that available.

This was a great location for our Vancouver island adventures. Pretty central to what we wanted to do. Cathedral Grove was close enough for us to visit multiple times, and the trip over to the Pacific coast was about what we wanted. Great hosts, were very quick to respond, and extremely helpful. House was great for our family, good amount of space, and lots of activities to do on rest days. Would stay here again if we ever come back to explore the area more.

We were blown away by this stay! Such a beautiful home, with gorgeous views. Very spacious and comfortable for our party of five. We wish we could have stayed longer :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Karen’s beautiful suite! It was perfect for two couples as has two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked and contains everything you might need. A patio table and barbecue on the deck makes this a perfect place to relax, enjoy the view, and/or cook a meal for a stay in evening. We would recommend this place very highly!

We had a fabulous time with our kids at Andrew’s house, it’s situated in a lovely quiet setting with a balcony to take in the magical views of the beach. The house had everything we needed, to enjoy our stay. We had a short walk to the beach and lovely walk in the forest. All local shops within 5mins drive in Parksville and would also hugely recommend the Parksville community park for the kids to burn off energy. I would hugely recommend The Mount Arrowsmith Brewery for lunch , great service .

Beautiful property! We absolutely loved our stay here. This cabin is very modern and spacious. Both bedrooms have king beds are are so comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ever need. Great views from both the main and the upstairs patios. Perfect location for day trips to other local areas like Coombs, Qualicum Beach, Comox. Our hosts Steph and Bryan were awesome! Very responsive and great to deal with! We hope to get back there again sometime soon!

Nina’s place was very clean and spacious. Views were amazing. Nina was very friendly and would highly recommend booking!

Nicole’s “carriage house” is exactly as described, absolutely beautiful, peaceful and private. Very well equipped kitchen, laundry, bathroom etc. Nicole has thought of everything you may need. We loved our 4 night stay and visit around the island, then to come back each day to relax at the carriage house. 10/10

Nadine was a great host; she was responsive and provided us with extra toilet paper once we ran out. Her place looks just like the photos and was very cozy and comfortable and clean. My husband and I enjoyed the kitchen and slept well in the comfy bed. There was also a nice selection of teas and a stocked kitchen (pots, pans, utensils, etc.). Overall very lovely stay; a real home away from home vibe. Would stay again!

This was the most incredible little escape! The apartment was spotless, beautifully set up, and had everything I needed. The pull-out couch was comfortable, and the main bed was perfect for a great night’s sleep. The view from the front yard is absolutely stunning, with mountains that take your breath away. It is also so central, making it easy to get around Nanaimo. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and their sweet big dog greeted me warmly from the upper deck, which made it feel even more like home. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

Beautiful home and Jessie was such a wonderful host. Responsive and helpful. The quick walk down to the beach made this a perfect spot. Our little boys loved it and had such a great time. We’ll return for sure!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, we had everything we needed and the host was very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the stay a lot. The house had the best view of the ocean and it was so relaxing sitting at the balcony everyday to enjoy the view . The host was super helpful. I had some issue with my phone and couldn’t check in with the keypad. Katherine came in 15mins to make sure I could get in. Super responsive and helpful host!

I had a lovely two nights stay. It was quiet, peaceful and serene . The property is beautiful. I felt like it was my home for two days. The delicious granola , fresh eggs, fruit and yogurt, coffee, etc. was a perfect addition to a wonderful stay. The bed was cosy and the sheets and duvet were cosy as well. The kitchen had everything you needed. Thank you so much for providing such a tranquil place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay! The space was charming and clean, and set a perfect vibe for this leg of our island getaway. We would absolutely stay again next time we visit Parksville.

We loved the house as well as the surroundings. Will be back.

Beautiful quiet home. Big sunny deck lots of chairs and space for all 6 of us. Enjoyed the bbq. Private beach access. Modern clean cabin. Very comfy beds. Kids loved the bunk beds. Awesome to have access to a washer and dryer. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s bigger than the pictures show. Would love to come back. Highly recommend.

Stunning views, very quiet and nicely secluded. Perfect for watching marine life, we saw seals, sea lion, porpoises and lots of birds. Nice cabin style home, very comfortable.

Thanks for responding all the time for any questions. Always solve our problems promptly

Liz’s house is amazing. First, Liz is great. She’s warm, attentive, a quick communicator and an all-around nice and interesting woman. She has created a remarkable “retreat” in a large, comfortable, beautiful house. It’s a house with personality unlike some newer AirBnbs that are cookie cutter with zero personality. Extra special for the seven of us were the magical goats, the pregnant British Shepherd and other dogs and cats. We had so much fun feeding peanuts to the goats and giving treats to the dogs. The outdoor gardens are lovely and colorful. Three little barns in the distance and the perimeter of the house and deck are lit up at night with sweet lights! The kitchen has lots of good stuff that made our shopping easier, the bathrooms are well supplied with everything you could need. We loved the house and thought of it as home for our lovely week on Vancouver Island! Thanks Liz!!
