Perfect destination in Nanaimo
This VRBO is a 12/10. Wonderfully organized, clean, with stunning ocean views. The kitchen amenities and quality of appliances were superb. The hosts bent over backwards to make us comfortable. Can’t thank John and Debby enough. Lots of ocean sites close by. It simply is PERFECT

Awesome place, such a cool area. We visited Tofino, great ride. The views at the house are spectacular. We watched two Bald eagles eating dinner right in front of us! Super comfortable stay, we will be back.

Perfect in EVERY way!
Right from the moment we arrived, it was clear it was the perfect place! The hosts were amazingly welcoming and very easy to reach when needed. The space was spotless and abundantly equipped (I mean everything you could ever want was included at this beautiful place! Everything - even binoculars so you could watch for whales and bald eagles out the huge panoramic windows!!) The view was breathtaking - even better than expected! This truly felt like "home away from home"! I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful place and if we are ever back in the area, there is no question where we will stay! Thank you Debby & John for sharing your gem of a home with us! :)

Best views on Vancouver Island
We had a great stay here. The place was so nice we had a hard time leaving even when we left for day trips to Nanaimo and Cathedral Grove. Saw whales and and assortment of wild life from the flat. Enjoyed the sunsets from the deck.

Amazing view
The suite was perfect- very clean with every amenity necessary. The view is spectacular and hosts, Debby and John, are very accommodating and gracious. One of the best VRBO rentals we've experienced and we've stayed in hundreds over the years. We hope to return again next summer.

Eagles to Sunsets
Just what the doctor ordered. Our stay at Vista View was FANTASTIC! Pictures of the view across the straights don’t do it justice. From the eagles greeting us every morning to the beautiful sunsets sitting on the deck, everything was magical. Debby and John were excellent hosts. They met us warmly when we arrived and walked us through the apartment. It is very clean, well appointed, and had everything anyone could need. A great kitchen to cook in. It is as the pictures show. You can’t go wrong staying here. We will be back.
