This is a private entrance, studio apartment on the top floor of an oceanfront condominium with private bathroom and covered deck.

Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada
Truly a nature lover's paradise, we are located in the heart of Nanoose Bay 10 minutes from downtown Parksville, BC. It's a very special community featuring farm fresh products, local marina and golf course. We are ideally located for all tourist activities, natural sight seeing spots, beaches, pubs and restaurants, and all other shopping.

We are located on a tidal beach where the tide goes in and out 1km every day. Stroll the stunning landscapes and beaches of Pacific Shores, walk across the ocean floor during low tide to Rathtrevor Beach, and swim in the warm waters at sunset.

This is a nature resort, with waterfalls, lovely gardens, trails and viewing decks. Our favourite deck, which we call the "Sunset Deck", has 2 propane fire pits and we love to sip our wine and watch the tide and the sunsets.

We are conveniently located mid Island ; it is a 2.5 hr drive to Tofino & 2 hrs to Victoria.

Ski Mount Washington-only 1 hr drive.

The Neighborhood:
Explore the endless beauty of our large private beach, walk out to Rathtrevor beach collecting sand dollars at low tide or storm watch from the gazebo deck. This is a nature resort, with waterfalls, lovely gardens, and viewing decks. Our "sunset" deck features 2 propane fire pits. Relax at the ocean's edge and watch the sunset with your glass of wine.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Very nice condo, very clean, comfortable king bed, lots of very efficient plugins that we appreciated, lovely jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom. We appreciated the little selection of kitchen supplies to get started with. We loved sitting out on on private little protected balcony with a view of the bay. We made good use of the swimming pool and hot tub, plus the outdoor hottub. We walked on the amazingly made walkway on the water, all around the grounds. Plus there were places to sit and to BBQ - to further enjoy being outside. It was fun to watch sports while we enjoyed supper in the on-site restaurant. We would love to go back to just relax again.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
We were satisfied with our overall stay at the resort, however the bathroom needs some serious maintenance. The sliding doors on the balcony would not lock and need to be repaired. We were most disappointed with the lack of communication with the property manager. The food at the restaurant was exceptional however the lack of breakfast was disappointing. The view from our room was beautiful, very much enjoyed.
