Well stocked unit
The unit is very well stocked, Pacific Shores is an excellent resort with all the amenities. The kids loved playing pool, swimming and the indoor and outdoor pools, the beach etc etc. only downside is the kitchen is very small (but does have a dishwasher!) which made cooking for the family tricky. Also I couldn’t figure out how to lock the bathroom doors. There are blackout curtains, fans and screens on the patio doors.

This was a very nice property but the beds were the firmest that I have ever slept on. Woke with a killer back ache both mornings. If you don’t mind firm beds, you will like this place

Beautiful property! Looking out at the ocean from the living room was amazing. We were 4 adults and 2 kids we had plenty of room very spacious. Our grandkids loved the pool. There was a great outdoor hot tub and outdoor kiddie pool was lots of fun. We enjoyed the ping pong and Billiards as well. Pickleball courts right on the property. Best of all the beautiful trail down to the ocean leading all around the property was a bonus. No need to even leave. In the summer kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Available. Will be back our unit was perfect.

Gorgeous Views
Gorgeous views of the surrounding area, and a nice, well stocked unit. There was plenty of space for our family of five, and our children especially enjoyed the weight room, pool, sauna and hot tubs! This unit is a short drive to beaches, supermarkets, restaurants, and the ferry terminal. Mark was quick to respond and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely be booking another stay soon!!

We’ll be Back!!
Very impressed with the condo. Spacious. A luxurious feeling. Everything we needed. Bright great view, comfy beds. Pacific Shores is a Wonderful property with many amenities. Definitely plan to book this property again. The only small complaint was no water pressure in the main suites bath ( it dribbled out into the jacuzzi tub) we were unable to enjoy the epsom salts they thoughtfully left in the one bathroom. And the other tub in smaller side had a slow leak Of water ( drain didn’t seal). Didn’t ruin our stay. Wonderful hot tub on property. Just something for the host to be aware of.

Great island getaway
The condo provided a ideal long weekend location for us to explore the area and relax. The property has lots of amenities and the beach access was our favourite draw. The condo was well equipped and maintained. There is no air conditioning and limited towels. We made good use of the laundry and kitchen. The condo and property was quiet and the other residents were very friendly. The location made for easy day trips to explore Parksville and Nanoose Bay area. We will definitely book this place again.
