ENJOY ALL OF THE RESORT AMENITIES
For real?! Yes! Our condo is our privately owned unit, but it is also situated at the Pacific Shores Resort & Spa so you will have access to everything the resort has to offer during your stay. This includes an indoor pool, indoor hot tub, fitness centre, pool table, ping pong, outdoor rock hot tub, children's playground, children’s outdoor splash pool (seasonal), outdoor gas fire pits, shared BBQs, basketball net and (ten!) pickleball courts. Paddle boards, kayaks and bicycles are available for use from the resort front desk (seasonally). Subject to resort policies and availability.
As of March 2024, the indoor pool and hot tub hours are Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays) from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm and 2:30 - 10 pm (closed for cleaning daily from 12:30 - 2:30 pm).
The outdoor hot tub is open every day, but it is closed on Thursdays until 5 pm for cleaning. Subject to change.
ACCESSIBILITY
The condo features ground level, no-step access. Walk right into the condo without ever having to climb stairs or wait for the elevator! Ideal for mobility challenges and wheelchair friendly. However, even though the condo has ground level entry, it is actually situated on the second level of the condo building, meaning you can enjoy the comfortable, covered balcony and its great views of the ever-changing tide waters.

This condo is situated in central Vancouver Island -- a location that simply can't be beat for exploring everything this beautiful island has to offer.

Hiking trails and outdoor adventures are only a short drive away.

Absolutely beautiful location. We had gorgeous sunset views over Nanoose Bay. Used the pool, billiards table, ping pong and pickleball courts, took full advantage of the paddle board and kayak rentals. Enjoyed the amenities in the unit, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Highly recommend and if we are in the area here again we would stay for sure! Thank you to a great hostess!

The property was even more than we expected. Spacious, great for families or friends travelling together, but you could have your space at the same time. Beds were very comfy, great size kitchen and beautiful views of the water. For families with kids there was an indoor pool, outdoor kids pool 1.7 feet deep, great pirate ship park and outdoor hot tub. For adults or older kids there was pickleball courts, walking paths, outdoor pits, and you could borrow kayaks or paddleboards. A few minutes drive to Parksville for shops n groceries etc.

Perfect family vacation rental, we loved the two conjoined condos. All the Anne ties we needed. They even had a playpen for little ones which was not on the listing. Perfect balcony to watch the sun set. Location was great from short trip into Parksville and Nanaimo both with great waterfront community parks and playgrounds. Host was great to check in to ensure we got welcome email and was available if needed. Highly recommend

Had a wonderful time at the condo and associated resort. The condo was clean, organized and was very comfortable. Great access to the resort amenities as well, with fantastic pool (including outside one for children) and wonderful views of the bay.
