So….. we booked a B&B and we got an apartment furnished with garage sale furniture, pictures and bedding! THIS IS NOT A B&B. It was clean. The view was amazing! But a beautiful setting should not be marred with shipping tape messages taped to the walls. Stained pictures. Stained bedding and head and shoulders shampoo. Could be absolutely a beautiful place with a little TLC. I suppose my review should prefaced by the fact we thought we booked a B&B with view and we were disappointed to find out this was nothing more than someone’s house and a downstairs apartment! Not a bed and breakfast at all! Apparently we could have had breakfast gift 10 bucks! But we passed!

The property is essentially a large and charming one bedroom apartment with a wrap around porch. It provides an amazing view of the sea and nearby islands and is located in a rich hillside neighbourhood. Excellent value for money.

**This is a room in a someones home** The host was very friendly. The room and adjoining bathroom were spotless. The location is residential at a top a very steep climb. There is nothing close by to eat (we had food delivered). The view from the balcony is amazing. I would have given higher rating if I the listing made it clear that it was a room in the house. It was a bit disorienting to expect a traditional B&B and then be staying in a room in a persons house.

Exceptional Views!! Great Hospitality!! Absolute worth for the Vacation! Cari was the one who received us at the main entrance and explained everything well and she even helped us with walk through of other suites as well when we asked how other room look (no guests checked in at that time). We're spellbound by the views, you dont get to see them from any hotel in Nanaimo i believe. It's a homely atmosphere completely and great location! We met Charles while checking out he's very cool too. We'll definitely look for this same spot in our next visits too. Breakfast is optional for extra $10 which we should inform before night, but we already planned to have outside so we didn't take that option, for sure it would have been good experience too had we taken that. Regarding views of Sunset, Sunrise, Pipers lagoon, etc, photos dont do justice, have to be there to witness the beauty.

Don’t Pass This One By
Our stay was excellent, our hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and met us at our request. The amenities were everything we needed. The views from the property were more than expected, and the high tide was really worth getting up for. And yes we highly recommend and would return when next we are in Nanaimo.

Just so everyone is clear, this is a room rental in a private house. Hosts are very nice and accommodating. Room is large, clean and comfortable, with a spectacular room. B&B is somewhat misleading, as it was not part of the offering. Don’t even know if they offer breakfast. This is fine for a one night stay.
