Very nice place, everything you need. Location was okay, just wish a little closer to thing because I did not have vehicle all the time.
I would definitely recommend to friends or family.
We enjoyed our stay at the Purple door. It was spacious, clean and convenient. The hosts were prompt in replying to our booking and our questions. It's quite modern -- lots of remote controls and modern decor. That suits many people looking for a cabin that has the mod cons.
This is a very nice place. Nothing could be better. It has a sky light which we enjoyed. Its just like the listing shows. We were there a month, so we know the place well. The hosts are great people also.
Beautifully modern and incredibly clean property. Great check in process with wonderful hosts. Property located in a wonderful area to easily access and explore many different beaches, towns and hiking trails. Really appreciated having access to laundry in the suite and all the modern home amenities.
I needed a place to stay while I was having repairs done to my home. I was lucky to find this place. It has everything you need and is a short walk to the ocean and amenities are close.
The purple door vrbo was the best vrbo experience yet for our many travels around Canada. The Cullen family were very welcoming and the unit was very very comfortable with all the latest home and tech features. We plan on booking it for visiting family and friends to the island, especially to take them to the close by Lantzville beach. A true winning location and home away from home!
Relaxing, Peaceful But Modern and Close to Everything
This modern little cottage was everything we needed for our stay. Husband was having hip surgery and it was the perfect recovery spot as we don’t live in Nanaimo. Tim and Wanda were very helpful and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet but easy to zip out for groceries etc. Would definitely recommend.
The Purple Door is a delightful place to stay, close to the city yet in the most peaceful almost rural setting. Will return if on the island again. The suite is new, fresh, large, and lots of light.
Great location and everything we needed. Very cosy and well built lodging.
