We loved being right on the water. We ate most of our meals on the balcony. The unit was well equipped and comfortable. The walk into town was about a mile right on the water so it made a pleasant afternoon or evening outing. We would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay!

We were in Nanaimo for a wedding with friends and spent 7 days and had an excellent stay at this condo. The view is amazing and the location is even better. It was very clean and very well equipped. Only tiny thing we didn't like were the towels. They would need an upgrade

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.

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.
