4.91 out of 5 average rating, 339 reviewsOceanfront Home - 1bdr Suite is a separate space.
Alexandra's Airbnb in Nanaimo, BC was just great--so much so that with regard to the star ratings I wish I could have given greater than five! In fact, the location gives life to the slogan Beautiful BC, situated on the coast as it is with full view of the islands and inlets which give coastal British Columbia its unique flavor. We enjoyed the hot tub, and beach below, views of the ferries and bird life and tides, the weather coming in and so much more. The binoculars on the table upstairs got a lot of use, and were one of the many neat features of this lovely house. Plus, the easy access to town was perfect for us! Thank you, Alexandra, for a lovely time, and we hope to be return guests if you'll have us in the not too distant future!

If we could leave 6 stars we would. Not only what we were hoping for when we booked but somehow exceeded expectations. George was a super friendly and accommodating host. We felt very comfortable immediately and appreciated the gracious hospitality. We hope their place is available next time we visit the area. Thank you for having us and making our short stay so memorable.

Cottage
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 149 reviewsBeach front house with guest cabin!
Daniel’s place on Quadra was wonderful. It made me feel like I was visiting a family cottage. Every small detail was taken care of down to the full towel closet, a pantry and spice cupboard, and the espresso machine. Sitting in the front room looking out at the ocean, watching the birds and seals and orcas go by during the rain was food for the soul. We’ll definitely be back.

What a beautiful home! Incredible views and exactly as described. Very easy to navigate - everything is labelled. Communication was perfect - Terrence checked in during the stay which was a nice touch. Although I brought most of my own things - this home is fully stocked with essentials. The wood burning fireplace was a nice added bonus. The home is spacious yet cozy. My dog and I had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return! I would have extended my stay if the days were available. Highly recommend!!

Cabin

I stayed a long weekend on the Olympic Peninsula and was very happy with my choice of Phil's cabin. The views are amazing, very quiet and peaceful. The perfect getaway location for couples or a small family. I would recommend this cabin to anyone!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 178 reviewsTrailbreak
We rented both properties for a family get together and had a lovely time. We rented the adjoining 2bd Salty Suite for the ones who had babies so the rest of us could sleep in the mornings! The main house was great for sharing dinners and spending time together. We were able to locate extra chairs in the basement which we needed for our large family and the table extended perfectly. Between the two suites there were four high chairs so we didn’t need to bring our own. We especially appreciated the extra large fridge/freezer in the main house. We brought all our food with us as Sooke is 30km away and not convenient for restocking, so the fridge space was amazing! The property is really private and the kids enjoyed kicking a ball around on the expansive lawn area. We also enjoyed the trail down to the beach - great for watching sunrises and sunsets! We appreciated the large DVD collection and the cupboard full of board games - all of which we made full use of during our stay.

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsThe Strand at Pacific Shores
The Strand out of Pacific Shores Resort was perfect for my little family. The space is very modern & cozy. We utilized all the amenities such as the indoor & outdoor hot tubs, sauna, outdoor children’s heated pool in the winter, indoor swimming pool, spa and restaurant. Jenn & Nikki were amazing hosts super friendly & responsive. We felt so at home in their space. I was pregnant through our stay and enjoyed taking baths in the soaker tub with the fire place on. We took walks each day along the ocean and up into the estuary. One day we walked right to Rathtrevor Beach & stopped for lunch at Tigh-Nah-Mara Resort. I plan to return with my family in the future hopefully for years to come. This place holds its own magic and is great for island folks looking for a staycation. Our little one enjoyed the beach and playground. We enjoyed being close to Nanaimo, but far enough away you can take in the stars at night and listen to the ocean without the sounds of the city.

Townhouse

Margaret’s property was a dream! We had a great holiday vacation, two families with 3 kids in total fit comfortably. The rooms are spacious and well organized. Kitchen equipments are also well stocked. It’s on the beach and quiet. (We were there in Dec so I assume the summer time would be a different story) We would like be to book her place again! Thank you for being a great host!

Loved my stay here. The suite was clean and the decor gave it a homey feel. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes etc. This is a roomy suite and would be lovely for a a short or longer stay. Very private setting yet a short distance to stores, other parks and beaches and to town. Highly recommend.

Amazing place to be for a relaxing weekend. I would definitely stay again! Beautiful scenery, many nature walks & hikes nearby, and lots of amenities. Hosts were very responsive and accommodating.

This was our second stay at an Airbnb in Nanoose Bay at the Pacific Shores resorts. Chelsea's place was top of the line. As described, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. Comfortable for the 6 of us who stayed. We loved the location and lay out of the condo, and loved being able to utilize the resort amenities as well. We hope and plan to stay here again next year and for many more to come!

Apartment
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviewsThe Nook at Nanoose Bay - Oceanview - Studio
Loved our stay at this spot, which was pretty quiet during our off-season stay in December. The location helped us explore lots of the island and we enjoyed the on-site pool on a rainy day. The accommodations were actually larger than I expected from the photos and the private patio was super cute with a nice little view. There were some additional booking requirements (need to send photo ID) due to it being a resort but hosts were good communicators about this.

We (party of 4 - cousins/sisters) absolutely loved everything about houseen. It really is a very special place. The home is very comfortable - beds are really great. Kitchen very well equipped. Lots of notes and instructions around the cottage which were helpful. Kate is a very good communicator and responded quickly to questions. Only wish we could have stayed longer. A gem of a place. Thank you, Kate.

We had an outstanding experience at this incredible waterfront property! The hosts were truly amazing, great communication and ensured our every need was met. The property itself was immaculate, exactly as described, and well maintained. All amenities were in excellent working order, and the location was perfect – secluded, private, and just a short 20-minute drive to town. Ideal for our family's getaway during our son's karate tournament. We would definitely book this property again and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.

Overall we had a great time staying in Departure Bay at Peter’s house. He kindly left water bottles for us. There were fans in every room which was very thoughtful as it was pretty warm during our stay.

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsSecluded Beachfront Gem
The house and location are beautiful! We had lots of room to spread out in the house - lots of nooks, windows, books and decks. It made it enjoyable to have both privacy when travelling with a multigenerational group and also places to gather. The kitchen is well appointed which made cooking easy. The beach was fun to walk and explore, and if the weather has been a bit warmer we would've swam and paddled. Fanny Bay itself is a beautiful area of the island but it is also a very convenient distance to exploring more of the mid-island - Cumberland/Courtenay and Horne Lake Caves to mention a couple. After exploring it was peaceful to return to this house. I would book again.

Amazing stay. Amazing place. Amazing hosts. I almost don’t want to recommend Clayton’s place so I’m able to keep it to myself! But seriously, Mary Lou and Clayton are amazing hosts. And the sauna?! Just spectacular. 100% recommend to everybody!

I like taking a break every once and awhile to hermit and read books. Robin's place was perfect to do just think. The fireplace was beautiful, the kitchen spacious, and the space was picturesque. Robin was very accommodating and gave my wife and I some great advice while we stayed. Views are amazing, but the pictures say it all.
