We loved being right on the water. We ate most of our meals on the balcony. The unit was well equipped and comfortable. The walk into town was about a mile right on the water so it made a pleasant afternoon or evening outing. We would definitely stay again.

We were in Nanaimo for a wedding with friends and spent 7 days and had an excellent stay at this condo. The view is amazing and the location is even better. It was very clean and very well equipped. Only tiny thing we didn't like were the towels. They would need an upgrade
