Shoregrove Cottage On The Beach! WINTER STORM SEASON stay 3mths=60% discount!!

*WINTER STORM SEASON SPECIAL!!*

*Stay 3 months. Jan, Feb, March and receive 60% off the nightly rate!! It is a fabulous location to watch the stormy seas!! "You are so close to the ocean, it feels like you are on a boat, without the motion."*

Our seaside sunset cottage is one of a kind! Small, charming and perched right on the edge of a pristine beach overlooking the Straight of Georgia. We have an abundance of eagles, a family of otters, seals and sea lions, fish jumping and crabs crawling all RIGHT IN FRONT of this charming beach hideaway. This cottage has provided epic memories for families dating back to the 1950's and we have recently completed an exterior and interior renovation! It is ready to host nature lovers, ocean enthusiasts that can enjoy a comfortable peaceful sleep!

In the bedroom 2 can sleep soundly in a superior quality queen bed and snuggle up in the sumptuously soft sheets! Awake to birds chirping, and the fresh scent of sea air. You can choose to dine out at one of the many great restaurants in the area, have catering or you can fire up the Bar-B-Q and make use of the small, but well equipped kitchen that has a convection/microwave oven, hotplate, refrigerator, cutlery, pots/pans, cooking utensils, etc. View the spectacular ocean from the large living room window and from the kitchen.

As well, we have recently added a new TV and fireplace to the living room.

This beach cottage is nestled on the far north east corner of an Iconic Lantzville property that was homesteaded in 1892. It is accessed through a small, quaint seaside RV Park with its own beach side parking area. Set among arbutus, maple, cedar and fir trees it has a fenced private side and rear yard where you can pitch a tent for the kids or safely stow your water toys of choice. There is room for Kayaks, Paddle-boards, windsurfers, kite-boards or a small dingy- you can even anchor right out front! Once you are settled in, you are 700' from the nearest road and will have one of the best views and beach access found anywhere in the region!

Although you will likely feel "away from it all" while staying here, you are actually conveniently located within a 2 minute drive to our lovely Lantzville Village, where you will find fabulous restaurants, a pub, beer/wine store, Sunday Summer Market, doctors, dentist, trails, parks, and much more. Also within 5 mins of the cottage, there are awesome walking, hiking and mountain biking trails as well as a golf course!

Only a 5 minute drive away, and you will find the many other amenities the city of Nanaimo has to offer: restaurants, shopping (boutiques, Woodgrove mall, Costco, Home Depot, many other chain stores/restaurants), movie theatres, banks, etc.

Within a 20 minute drive you can find: Live theatre, Art Galleries, antiques/collectables, artisans, markets, swimming pool, fitness facilities, Arena, horseback riding, rivers, creeks, lakes and more amazing parks and trails to explore!!

An amazing isolated getaway but so close to amenities

Our entire experience was beyond amazing. The ocean just feet away from you to the exceptional host who goes above and beyond. The neighbours are great, too. Thank you for sharing this west coast charm. We hope to stay again!

A special place

This little cottage by the sea is perfect. It was amazing to watch all the wildlife from the picture windows and to hear the ocean waves. There is a little grassy spot to sit in the sun and relax. The cottage has everything you need for a pleasant stay.

Scenery, solitude and the sound of waves

I booked my 5 night stay as a retreat and it was all and more than I had hoped for. Relaxing, walking, reading, eating and even sleeping all to the gentle backdrop of lapping waves. Something that will definitely be repeated.

a slice of heaven

I could write a novel here. our first time to chance a 30 day booking. but it lived up and exceeded our hopes. we are budget travelers. cause we travel a LOT. many VRBO stays. 30 or so. we saved a full year for this trip. we traveled to Sheila's place from Florida. this place is by FAR the best value for money. and we hope to be welcomed back. yes, we were very lucky to get the chance to stay at this gem.. we had such a lovely stay. book it. you will love it. I said to one of the friendly campers,,,it was like falling into a lovely rabbit hole...we just got lucky.

Super cute tiny cottage on the beach

Really lovely perfectly appointed with everything that you can need. The place is very small, perfect for a single person or a close couple. It's at the end of a road populated with about 15 trailer homes. I never heard or saw anyone from that place. The cottage is directly on the beach, at high tide the water is less than 2-3 metres away!! The place was very clean. Every store that you can imagine is within a 4 min drive. It was warm inside even at the end of November. The hostess was very responsive and friendly and helpful. My only"negative" is the beach itself. It's all fist sized rocks EVERYWHERE. It's very pretty, but it's not much fun for long walks. Sandy beaches are found moments away by car, just not at the house. Other than that I'd totally recommend this place. It's really sweet.

Shoregrove Beach Cottage

A truly gem of a place. With the beach at your doorstep, the greeting of the waves and the lovely space inside - how could you not relax & feel pampered. Thanks so much to Sheila whose prompt correspondence helped make it all happen last minute for me. Looking forward to returning already!

Love the cabin on the water

This has been my 2nd stay at the cabin this year. The owners are great, always available to answer my questions. Or bring me grapes from their vines. I would definitely recommend it.
