Winter on the island
My husband and I are planning on retiring on the island and wanted to see what it was like in the winter. The Inn at the Sea was a great location. The condo had all the amenities we needed. The beds were the MOST comfortable beds we have ever slept in…could’ve had stayed forever. Beautiful location. Will be staying there again.

sunrise on the beach
The suite we rented was perfect for a couple. Great set-up for a short or long stay. Loved that we were steps from the craggy shore. Also liked having a laundromat on the property. Even with rainy weather, this was a perfect spot to explore the eastern side of Vancouver Island. Would have loved to stay longer!!

Great location, with all the amenities you need for a quick family getaway!
Loved the space and the property! We travelled with our 3 young kids, ages 2, 4, & 6, and we all had a great time! Between the pool, hot tub, playground and beach, we had plenty to do for our 5 day stay. The only thing that would have been helpful for us would have been an inside lock or latch for the main door so that we didn’t have to worry about our kids being able to open it so easily. Our toddler was able to open it herself, so we had to get put some items in front of the door just in case for safety. Otherwise we had everything we needed. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Comfortable and fully equipped condo - with great views!
I stayed at this condo for 8 days in February and enjoyed every minute. The view of the ocean was spectacular and the hot tub was as added bonus. Great hiking trails close and the location is close to most areas and yet tucked away for total privacy. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a quiet escape. The owners are wonderful! Very responsive and accommodating to their guests.

Enjoyable get-away preoperty
The property met our needs for a gals get-away. Kitchen was well stocked with all the implements we needed and appliances were in good working order. The site was very quiet at this time of year, and a nice spot for walks and some beach combing. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Will plan to be back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy Beach

Host profile image
Being from the East Coast, my husband and I love the ocean. We have always dreamed of owning an ocean front property and a couple years ago we made that dream come true. It was the best decision we have ever made. We now live in Morinville Alberta, just outside of Edmonton and we try to escape to the island with our kids as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

We discovered this property a few years ago when we were searching for a family oriented waterfront vacation rental. We found paradise, it had everything we were looking for and more.....needless to say we bought this condo and now want to share what we have found.

What makes this property unique

Having a dock available to moore our boat is a huge advantage to us.
Our kids would say the Pool is their favorite.
