About this apartment rental
This is a privately owned condominium located in Pacific Shores Nature Resort in Nanoose Bay just minutes south of Parksville. We are not affected by the BC Short Term Rental Legislation. Our unit is 1800 square feet with open plan design, comfortable furniture and decorated in beige/sand colours in the living/ dining areas and ocean colours (blues/greens) in the bedrooms. We have recently added new stainless steel kitchen appliances and washer and drier.
The grounds are lush and well maintained and overlook the sparkling waters of Craig Bay. We have the most incredible views of the majestic snow-capped inland mountains, and glorious breathtaking sunsets over the bay. You can walk through the gardens of Pacific Shores, or go down to the beach to climb rocks and find shells. You can walk or drive to the golden sands of nearby Rathtrevor Beach where the tide goes out almost the full depth of the bay and provides an incredible sandy playground for kids and adults alike. When you walk the beach early in the morning, the peace and tranquility experienced are refreshing and rejuvenating. You can collect shells, see jellyfish, whales, seals, bald eagles - an incredible variety of wildlife. You can enjoy sweeping views of Georgia Strait and watch the occasional cruise ship sail by. Parksville and Qualicum Beach are a short drive away and offer shopping, restaurants, galleries, hiking/walking trails, beaches etc. Our condo is about 30 minutes from Cathedral Grove Forest, Little Qualicum Falls, and Coombs (with the goats on the roof!). Victoria is a 2 hour drive south. Tofino and the Pacific Rim are a 2 hour drive west.
We have owned this condo for over twenty years because we love the area - its outdoor activities such as kayaking, beach-walking, hiking, and golfing (there are several outstanding golf courses nearby, and mini-golf for the kids!) but mainly for its beauty (which I have tried to capture in my photographs and paintings displayed in our unit).
It truly is a magical experience to spend time in this wonderful location.
The resort facilities including indoor pool, hot tubs, pickle board courts and kayaks are included to renters at no additional cost. The resort also includes an excellent restaurant and spa.

The condo is very spacious and the view from the back patio is awesome, we had some amazing sunsets! The resort is lovely and you have access to all the facilities with the guest pass (incl free paddleboards). There are even gas fire tables in a gazebo next to the shore you can access. There is also a nice path around the resort along the beach you can wander to get closer to the water and explore when the tide is out.
The property was very clean and well stocked with supplies and condiments in the kitchen. The natural gas BBQ was nice to have for cooking. The internet worked fine and the TV has regular cable channels as well as several streaming options (with detailed instructions). It was a bonus to have a newer large washer and dryer in the condo when you are staying longer.
The directions to the property and instructions for check-in were clear. Communication with the owners was good, we received quick responses during the booking process and during our stay. There was a minor problem with the fireplace starting and it was quickly resolved with the owner.
Overall we had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Thanks.
