Sleek and modern
This is a sleek, modern condo well-situated with a nice view of a marina. Our only issue was with hosts’ policy re amenities. Canadians have a reputation for being nicer than we Americans but the “honor system “ re amenities did not work for us. Guests are supposed to replace what they use. Well, we discovered that there was no body soap in either bathroom, no paper towels or napkins in the kitchen and only a handful of tissues left. Half an hour before checkout I used the last tissue. I’m supposed to go out and buy a new box of tissues to leave behind? Don’t think so. Coffee, salt, things like that I understand, but it seems to me that host has responsibilities towards disposables like body soap and paper towels. Nonetheless, I would stay here again but come prepared.

Disappointed
With a little effort this place could be spectacular.Start with cleaning floors, appliances and counters. Some dishes and cutlery were dirty despite being put away.I thought the bedding was dirty because the bed was so poorly made and sheets rumpled. Supply soap and shampoo!!! Given the cleaning fee, lack of cleanliness when we arrived it’s outrageous that you expect guests to do laundry and unload the dishwasher!! Paper towels would be nice to have.Host seem not to care about the comfort of guests. Murphy bed very uncomfortable. Main bedroom very comfortable and so nice to have two AC units.

Beautiful view and location
This condo has a beautiful view of the marina and is within walking distance of a few restaurants. It was not well stocked tho and this was our first experience with a VRBO having to supply our own bathroom tissue, shampoo, coffee etc. They did say they only supply enough for one day in their book after we read it. We only had one knife which was extremely dull, very few dishes and cutler. The vacuum did not work well and it could have been cleaned to a higher standard. They did supply threedifferent coffee makers and a kettle which was nice. They need a larger kitchen garbage as we were running the garbage out every day and had to supply our own bags. They also need two folding chairs for outside as they only had two chairs for 4 people. We would go back but these are our suggestions to make it more enjoyable for your guests.

Oceanside
This oceanside unit was the perfect home base for us as we spent the weekend visiting family in Nanaimo. It had all the comforts of home....but a much better view! It was clean and comfortable, bright and open. Breakfast on the patio, overlooking the marina, was such a treat. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Marina view condo
This lovely waterfront condo is perfect in every way. You can’t beat the view of the Marina! We enjoyed watching the boat activity. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. The bed and living room furniture were super comfortable. The location made it easy to get around Nanaimo. Would definitely stay here again!

Break away!
The location was perfect. Building was very quiet and easy to access. Most amazing comfortable bed! Very peaceful environment! The unit had everything you needed. The only comments I would like to suggest to owners is the pots and pans have peeling Teflon, cutlery is very cheap and small, some plastic scrapers were falling off in our food as they were melted down, bleach stains on towel. Over all cleanliness ok, however cushions on couch have some staining and in between cushions dirt and crumbs. Little things make a difference.

Perfect location, Beautiful Condo
My husband and I stayed at Gary’s condo over Christmas so we could visit our kids/grandkids. What a wonderful experience we had! The condo is clean and spacious, everything updated, and well stocked pantry. We had one minor issue with the internet and the hosts contacted us immediately to rectify the situation (I only mention this to let you know the owners are very responsive). The view is spectacular, the area is quiet and had everything we needed! We’ll definitely refer to friends and family for future visits!

Property shows exactly like listing. The only comment I would make is that this is the only short term rental with no paper towels, no shampoo or conditioner in the unit. It seems like a small thing to make your guests comfortable.

Beach House 304
The property was lovely and very spacious it was very easy to access the condo without the need to carry keys because it had an access code. It was in an excellent location and very close to a bus route which was good for us as we do not drive. The views when we were sat on our balcony were lovely as it overlooked Newcastle Island and it was interesting to watch the coming and goings of the boats in the marina.

Great Stay and Perfect View
We stayed at this beautiful place over the Canada Day long weekend. The place was able to accommodate for 8 of us (my wife and I and our two children under 3years Old, and my friend, his wife and their two children under 3 years old as well). It was in a great location, great view of the harbor and only few minutes away from the ferry. I gave 3/5 for communication just because it took awhile before I got hold of the property manager for a quick question — in hindsight, I should have called them instead of sending them a message. Once I got a hold of them though, they were super nice and helpful. I would stay with them again 😊

Grandma and grandkids
Grandma lives in Nanaimo and hasn’t seen her grandkids in years! I arranged a trip with my adult children so we could all be together, grandma is 88 yrs old. We had my brother and mom who live in Nanaimo, my niece and nephew who live in Vancouver and myself and 2 kids who are from Minnesota. We had a very special Saturday night dinner together. The unit was perfect. Lovely setting, a short walk to my mom’s apartment, walking distance to all amenities. Lovely views , wonderful windows opening to the fresh cool sea air. Beds comfortable, kitchen great. Thank you so much.
