Perfect for our needs

We were in Nanaimo for a sports competition, so this location was excellent for that as well as a close drive to food stores. The suite is indeed well appointed, organized, and very comfortable. We appreciated how restful it was, and our kids loved cooling off in the pool. Joy was an excellent communicator, helping make our trip easier.

Lovely owners who went above and beyond helping me with my dog so I could spend time with my newborn grandchild. The apartment is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay including driveway parking and no stairs (level entry). I have found my “go to” place for future visits.

Above and beyond

We where moving to Nanaimo and needed a Vrbo that took 3 cats. Joy (Owner) is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help us out. Great place for a family retreat and very comfortable beds. Place was very clean and kitchen had coffee,teas and everything you need to prep a small meal. It has free wifi, cable tv, washer and dryer. It's relatively close to downtown Nanaimo and close to groceries and restaurants. Joy my family loves you and thank you once again for making us feel at home, you're an angel.

Absolute Gem!

We thoroughly enjoyed a five day stay in Joy and Chris' beautiful suite. It was generously set up with everything you could need, including a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful towels and linens, and three very comfortable beds that fit even our tall teens! The suite is spacious with lots of room for a family and games, books, and streaming services to keep everyone entertained. We swam in the pool every day and the kids loved the slide, toys, and inflatables. The pool is situated in a stunning garden setting, which was lovely to relax in as well. Joy was a welcoming host who communicated quickly. We highly recommend this gem of a suite and will return ourselves!
