For the first time ever, this suite was exactly as described/pictured. It it elegant, bright, tastefully decorated and modern. The fireplace wouldn't work or turn on. (Dead batteries in remote?). No A/C, but a tower fan was provided. It was a great fan with a great blue light that lit up the room. I threw a face cloth over it to block it. One electrical outlet in the kitchen did not work. It was the one directly beside the Keurig station, so we had to move the station to another outlet to be able to use it and have coffee. The Keurig also needs to be descaled. The fridge door crashes into the wall if you don't hang onto it and there's no stoppers for it, so watch out you don't put a hole in the wall. The heated bathroom floors are a real treat. The waterfall shower is nice touch. We couldn't hear anyone else in any other parts of the house except for a dog barking nearby. Floor to ceiling windows create a nice, bright and welcoming space. Definitely recommend.

What a gem! This studio had everything you can wish for, truly one of the best stays I’ve everbooked. The view with the fireplace was absolutely stunning. Heidi was super friendly and communicative as well. Don’t look elsewhere, this is the getaway you need!

I was really looking forward to getting out of the city and enjoying a few days of quiet and lazy loungy reading. When I arrived, I was delighted to see that the suite was just as lovely as it was advertised. It was impeccably clean, beautifully curated and well stocked with everything needed for my stay. Imagine my alarm as I noticed in the perifery of the stunning view a ginormous excavator across the street. The workers began arriving on Harley's and in big rig trucks at 7:30am and the engine of excavator turned at 8:00 am on the dot. The cacophony of sound and vibration that ensued was untenable, and made staying impossible. I let the host know I was leaving via VRBO site and received no response. A later conversation requesting some form of compensation is still unresolved. I would have expected the listing to include a mention of the extent of construction in the area or to have had the host reach out to me when I made a midweek booking. If you are planning to stay on the weekend, or are an early riser with plans of being out and about all day, I imagine that this would not be an issue, however if you are looking for a midweek getaway from the noise of the city, you will not find respite here until the construction is completed.

The studio is lovely, well situated, well-appointed and super clean. Enjoyed the patio furniture and view of the water. The location is a bit odd, on a little road in a development of new homes which many are in the process of being built, so lots of work trucks around and sounds of construction during the day, which encroaches on the serenity. Some day, that'll end. Either way, great place, excellent hosts.

Good location for accessing anywhere in Nanaimo. A bit farther from the ocean than we expected but great view of the Coast Range. Property not ready when we arrived. Quite new. Pleasant stay. Easy access to good restaurants.

We are seniors and it should be noted that the steep stairs into the suite and the steep driveway were a bit a problem for us. The suite itself and the view were lovely.
