About this property

Seaside Getaway - Steps Away From the Water

Beautiful oceanfront house overlooking the best private beach on Vancouver Island. Lounge on the deck within sight of the mountains, gaze out at the waves in your adirondack chair, take a swim, or enjoy your own private time on the beach. Watch the seals, whales, bald eagles, deer, and plenty of other wildlife. Located between Nanaimo and Parksville, you are minutes away from everything, yet nestled away in one of the most picturesque beaches on the entire West Coast.

Amazing vacation

This is an amazing property. Gorgeous location. We brought SUPs and paddled in the water every day all around the bay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. The new deck is fantastic with the best view in western Canada. The host answers back right away for any questions you might have. I can't wait to come back again in the future.

Perfect getaway place and setting

Our high expectations after seeing the listing were more than met! The view is spectacular with something to see all day and evening including seals and deer. The house is perfectly laid out to enjoy the view, attractive and comfortable and well stocked. Lots to do nearby if you can drag yourself from the view. Kids loved exploring the beach. Perfect spot for a getaway. Thank you!

Fun for a girls getaway!

My girlfriends and I enjoyed this beautiful spot for 4 nights. The sunsets and location is absolutely beautiful and private. We saw otters, seals and a bald eagle came to visit a few times. There were some minor problems when we first arrived that Scott did his best to solve- the lovely champagne delivered to our door the second night, helped us forget all of the inconveniences and celebrate in style! Overall, we had a great visit and a great stay on Nanoose Bay!

The good: The view is amazing A stones throw to the water Seals playing entire trip right out front Plenty of room for larger parties Comfy beds Helpful friendly hosts The bad: (but not that bad just want to give an honest review) Could use a bit of a scrub down in less trafficked areas such as walls trim Had to get creative breaking our fresh caught crab as there are no crab crackers but we made do All in all we were very happy with this gem on the oceans doorstep and will definitely recommend to family and friends!

Perfect location for tide-pooling and sea lion viewings!

The location could not be better. It’s quiet and remote and gorgeous. The new Sea Scapes restaurant is right around the corner (short walk or kayak trip) and excellent too. We found all the hiking trails and beaches we wanted to see less than a 30 min drive away, but the beach in our backyard was so amazing we could have stayed put everyday enjoying all that nature had to offer. The indoor living space definitely had a cozy lived in feel. Overall, an excellent rental on a beautiful part of the island.

Great little get away

My family came here for a little escape from reality while staying close to home. Overall we are extremely happy with our stay and being right on the ocean was such a treat. While we thoroughly enjoyed the property and have no complaints - the pictures online are a little out dated and could be updated as you can tell that this hidden gem has been well enjoyed. The overall cleanliness of the property was satisfactory but there were a few areas that could use a little more attention. That being said, we loved this little property and would love to visit again in the near future. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property.

Stunning View, Wonderful House

My family and I stayed for 2 nights in September and we had a wonderful time. The house is lovely and comfortable and the owners put a lot of thought into what they think guests would like/need/want. The bed in the primary suite is very comfortable and our 4 kids had a riot in the bunkbed room! We enjoyed exploring the beach and watching the seals and otters fish. It is such a beautiful spot; and so relaxing! My husband wishes he brought his fishing gear because he reckons the fishing would be pretty good off the beach or the rocks. We also wish we brought some kayaks because it looked like nice calm water for paddling. We all loved staying at this location and the kids have asked to come back...every weekend!!

Island Getaway

The owner Scott and caretaker Tom were very friendly and offered top notch hospitality. The lactation was private and amazing views of wildlife right on your back deck overlooking the warm ocean. It was an awesome family vacation in Nanoose Bay full of hiking, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. We look forward to coming back 😎 The Carters

Pretty Awesome

I booked this property hoping for a nice quiet place that my wife and her Dad could enjoy on their birthday. The owner was absolutely fantastic in helping make it special. whether it was making way for an earlier check in or having some ciders in the fridge and some flowers on the table. By all accounts the trip was a huge success and the property was spectacular. If you're looking for beach front you can t get much closer/better than this. When they arrived the tide was high and a storm was brewing. Made for some excitement as they got to watch the wind and water dance from the front row. Thanks again and we'll be sure to keep you in mind in the future.

Fantastic Location!

This is an amazing place - beautiful spot right on the beach! We kayaked every day from the clean and clear waters right off the front patio with lots of coastline and nearby islands to explore. The beach would be well suited to swimming, too, during the hot days of summer. The owner was very attentive to every detail to ensure we had what we needed to make this a great vacation.

Wonderful little hidden treasure in Nanoose Bay

Our girls trip was huge success thanks to Scott and his home in picturesque Nanoose Bay. Our group ranged in age from 11-65 and everyone found the location perfect for relaxing, beach combing and watching nature right at your window. We found some great restaurants near by and even did a little local shopping. The neighbours were super friendly and full of recommendations .We would love to return one day and share this treasure with more of our family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
My name is Scott, and my family and I are pleased to welcome you to stay at our beachfront house, the Seaside Getaway.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely fell in love with the Seaside Getaway. It affords each access to the water, and provides views that are second-to-none. With its sweeping views overlooking Georgia Bay, and the snow-capped mountaintops in the distance, there really is no place like this. The sunsets are simply incredible, and with all the wildlife coming to visit, it truly is a special getaway spot.

What makes this property unique

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with an incredible view of the of the water. The snow-capped mountains of British Columbia shine in the background, as waves and amazing wildlife pass right by the Getaway.
