    The absolutely perfect fit for a quiet get-away with breathtaking views. Supremely comfortable and well-appointed suite with breathtaking views of the Salish Sea and marine life including humpback whales! Easy access to amazing walking and site-seeing.

    The property is amazing with spectacular views and gracious hosts. My family and I were lucky enough to see whales, eagles, dear and bunnies from the comfort of the living room window. Debby and John are both amazing hosts happy to assist with information about the area and any other inquiries we had. The location is close to everything you’d need and yet very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away for a great trip to Nanaimo.

    This is the perfect studio with an amazing 180 degree view of the Strait of Georgia and mainland British Columbia. The interior is very nicely designed. The views are just unbelievable. We found ourselves content a couple days to just sit in front of the picture windows and watch the whales and eagles. Debby and John were great hosts. We would not hesitate at all to stay here again.

    I had a fantastic time staying here! The views were breathtaking/stunning with access to multiple viewpoints inside/outside and so much wildlife to see (ex whales, sea lions, eagles). It was very close to easily accessible walking trails. The unit was very well equipped and had everything you would need to feel at home and very clean. The host was very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable to share about the surrounding area/wildlife. Thank you for a wonderful peaceful stay!

    This is our second stay at this property. The location and the view across the Strait of Georgia to the mainland are superb. Eagles soar by a wall of windows facing north, south and east. A fully-equipped kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and granite countertops, spacious bathroom with storage shelves for your belongings plus a washer/dryer, and a comfortable studio living room complete with fireplace and cherry wood flooring provide for a restful, luxury home-away-from-home.

    You will want for nothing during you stay at Big Vista! Debby and John are the best hosts we have ever encountered and their stunning Vrbo rental, with its gorgeous views, is our favourite of the many we have stayed at. This was our fourth year staying at Big Vista and we are already looking forward to returning next year!!

    This property is everything it is advertised. The room is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and then there is the view. We were there 10 days of which we spent two entire days looking out at the Strait of Georgia and relaxed. Our hosts told us that was not unusual. Our hosts Debby and John were super friendly and gave us lots useful information such as when whales were out as well as local trails and parks that were good for limited mobility walkers. We would definately come back here and may do so next year.
