Perfectly quiet and relaxing

Was looking for some place really quiet and easy to relax for a couple of days before meeting up with family in Victoria. It was so peaceful here! Pretty much spent all day just sitting on the patio soaking it in. Cooked a couple of nice meals -- kitchen was well set up and had a good variety of cookware. A friend came over from the mainland and slept on the hide-a-bed; he said it was an especially comfortable one, so good to know. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect staycation!

We are unable to get away for any decent length of time so this two nighter was fantastic for us! Had just the right amenities to feel like we were on a real vacation. (The woods, the water, the BBQ set ups and pool) Everything we needed was available in the condo. Would stay again!

Lovely location

Excellent 1 bedroom condo - great condition; comfortable and lovely location. A few steps bring you right to the ocean front and the view across the Islands to the coastal mountains, the call of the birds in the morning. Peaceful and enjoyable despite the November rain.

great spot if you are looking to unplug

The condo is very clean and modern and stays cool in the evening even though the temp hit 30 deg C during the day. The complex is very family friendly as there were lots of young families around but noise was never an issue for us. There isn't anything in walking distance in terms of restaurants/pubs so you will have to drive to get to sort of place. The owner was great to deal with and even provided a crib and high chair for our little guy. The lack of in suite washer/dryer was a bit of a bummer considering we stayed a full week but there is laundry facilities on the condo grounds. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful, secluded waterfront condo with nice amenities

We stayed at the Inn of the Sea and had a great time. We appreciated the comforts of the well maintained condo and grounds, the walks by the ocean in the evening. My son loved the pool and the badminton net. Its close proximity to the highway made it easy to sightsee the coast. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to the island and recommend others to stay here too!

Very Peaceful Retreat

Our family of four stayed here for four nights. Our kids really enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the campfire near the pool and exploring the beach at night. The owner was very accommodating and the accommodations were easy to access and room. There is a more than adequate grocery store nearby. The kitchen had everything we needed and the couches were comfy. The rest of the property was tranquil which is what we were looking for to decompress. Would highly recommend for those looking to catch up on some reading near the water.

Beautifully appointed condo - fantastic views

This condo is quite large for a one bedroom. The kitchen and living areas are newly appointed and really nice. The owner is very attentive, accommodating and helpful with all inquiries. I especially liked the fact there is a hot tub year around and a pool (although not heated during winter months). The location of Inn of the Seas is perfect. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle but also within 20 minutes of the bigger city of Nanaimo. I would recommend this resort and unit 127.

Fabulous Getaway

This condo was beautiful, newly renovated, very clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. I like the fact that it was ground level, easy to bring in our luggage and groceries. A bonus was on the very hot summer days our condo was nice and cool, as the cedar trees provided lots of shade. It was also nice to be able to see the ocean right from our living room. The grounds are immaculate and having a pool and hot tub right on the ocean to relax around was wonderful. We also loved sitting on the patio taking in the ocean view and watching the hummingbirds and bunnies play. Tammy was a joy to deal with she was very responsive and made it very easy for us to book our vacation. We would definitely recommend this condo to other travelers and we for sure will be back again next summer.

Great destination for a family vacation!

We had a most enjoyable 5-day stay in early August at the Beach’s top and bottom unit at Inn of the Sea, with the 2 of us in the upper studio and our daughter and our 2 teenage grandsons in the lower one bedroom unit. We found the units newly and nicely furnished and well equipped. The living area in the lower unit is quite spacious, with lots of comfortable seating. We had most of our meals on the outside deck with its view of the sea and the rabbits playing on the nearby lawn. While the Inn of the Sea is out in the country, it is a pleasant 15 minute drive on a scenic rural road to the nearest, well-stocked, 49th Parallel store in Cedar. We found it to be a convenient base for enjoying other mid-Island attractions, such as the zip-line at Wild Play Nanaimo and the lovely beach at Rathtrevor Beach. In between excursions, the pool and tennis courts at the resort were a big hit, as was walking the beach and, for the boys, swimming off the dock. Altogether, a great place to stay!

Lovely condo with all the amenities you need in one of the most beautiful spots in the province

My family and I have been visiting this location every summer for 8 years. The Inn of the sea is a great location for families. You have both the beach and the pool, both of which, can provide hours and hours of fun. The condo is lovely; recently renovated, warm and clean and has all you need to make your stay feel like home. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Beach

Being from the East Coast, my husband and I love the ocean. We have always dreamed of owning an ocean front property and a couple years ago we made that dream come true. It was the best decision we have ever made. We try to escape to the island with our kids as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

We discovered this property a few years ago when we were searching for a family oriented waterfront vacation rental. We found paradise, it had everything we were looking for and to say we bought this condo and now want to share what we have found.
