OCEANFRONT 2bedroom suite hottub, yoga rm, kayaks!

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves lapping on the rocks, the sunrise mirrored across the water. Take your coffee out onto the private oceanfront patio where you can lounge in the hammock. Kayaking around Departure Bay is easy as the kayaks are kept just above the high tide mark, grab life jackets and paddles from the yoga room and you’re good to go. Later you can relax in the hot tub , or send the kids down to play on the trampoline. All this 10 minutes from the shops and cafes of Nanaimo.

Lake and the Fig

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews7 months ago

Carl's place was a great stay! Our kids loved being close to the water. They had a French press for coffee which was a tad small for 4 adults, but we asked for a regular coffee pot and Carl quickly provided us with one to use for stay. He certainly went above and beyond. Thank you for a great stay!

Spectacular Sproat Lake Waterfront Log Home

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews6 days ago

Our family had a fantastic 2-night stay at Tania's beautiful lakeside home. The location is truly stunning, with breathtaking views of the lake and a fantastic gravel beach including with a cozy little firepit. The house itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Tania was a wonderful host – super responsive to our messages and we enjoyed our conversation with her. We also appreciated her discreetness, as she lives in the basement but we didn't even notice she was there. There were just a couple of minor things that could be improved for future guests: the fridge water filter could probably use a change, and unfortunately, the jacuzzi bathtub wasn't working during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing family vacation, thank you so much Tania!

Beachfront paradise

4.76 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviews9 months ago

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

Oceanfront Haven

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews3 months ago

This was an incredible space for our family to spend time together during the holidays. It was a short 2 minute walk to the beach with incredible views! We saw seals each time we visited the beach. The house was very clean, modern and comfortable. We loved having enough bedrooms for each of our children to have their own space and the common spaces were large and comfortable for everyone as well. Loved it!

Headwater Marina Cabins (Margit)

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews3 weeks ago

Gayle and Lee were amazing hosts!! We were greeted by the hosts at check-in and they had already set-up for us the woodstove fire place. The room was immaculate, with a comfortable bed and spotless floors. What really stood out to us was all of the personal touches from the freshly baked sourdough bread with butter and jam to a folder full of recommendations to build your own personalized itinerary. Unfortunately on the night of check-in my partner got the stomach flu. We informed the hosts and they leaped into action to help us in every way possible. They provided us with medication and disinfection to prevent myself from getting sick as well. They also graciously offered us an extra complimentary night for my partner to rest. We can't wait to come back!!
