About this property

Seaside Snug at Inn of the Sea

A second floor end unit makes this cozy suite bright. Our space provides beautiful ocean views with the ocean only steps away. Great for winter storm watching or for exploring the calm warm seas of summer. Watch for whales, seals, sea lions and otters swimming by, or look to the air for eagles soaring and kingfishers diving, a true nature lovers delight.
A kitchenette in this unit provides you with all the necessities to prepare meals , or head to The Crow & Gate for a pint and great food at an old English style pub. A full size bathroom with ample linens & towels, living space with a queen size bed, cable TV & wifi will provide you with the comforts of home while away.
The outdoor balcony provides extra living space and the unit is well situated close to 2 of the 3 BBQ areas and the waterfront pool. Pack the cooler provided and enjoy drinks by the fire or grab a floatie and head to the pool.
Inn of the Sea also offers a tennis court, children’s play area, and coin operated laundry facilities.
Our private seasonal dock allows moorage for boats under 30’, or tie up to one of our buoys. Launch a kayak from our shoreline or fish off the dock, a great location for the water enthusiast.

Inn at the Sea
We had a lovely 4 night stay. The unit is fantastic. It was quite noisy during the day with construction next door, and for the first two nights the kids and adults were up partying until around 1130pm but otherwise the unit and surroundings are great!

A wonderful weekend get-away!
Just as described, clean and wonderful location. The ocean view was a delight as we hadn't known how much we would see being in the "building in the back". It was the cutest little room with everything we needed, the pool was refreshing, and exploring the shore was great. We'll definitely stay here again next time!

Wonderful
Great little suite. Clean, well-stocked kitchen, good sized bathroom, comfy bed. A hidden gem of a location. We made use of the resort activities, (outdoor games, pool, hot tub, fire pit and dock). We were lucky and saw several orcas in the ocean! A perfect place to get away for the long weekend.

A lovely place
This is a small but perfectly set up apartment for two. The decor is pleasant and restful, the kitchen equipped for simple meals, and all was comfortable. We loved sitting on the balcony and enjoyed the view of the ocean. Highly recommended.

Girls getaway
Our stay exceeded our expectations for a girls getaway to celebrate my friend's 35th birthday. The corner unit condo was perfect for two people; the overall space was well laid out with two chairs, two stools to eat at the island, the bed was so comfortable with a view of the ocean, and the balcony was spacious where you could also enjoy the beautiful view. The grounds are well kept and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub even during cloudy days. When the tide is out its the perfect time to do some beachcombing and explore a good distance around the resort. All this and an absolutely amazing host that was quick with communication and a well stocked condo. Highly recommended and can't wait to go back

Our Stay
We had an awesome time at the resort…. Our unit was what we expected. The gardens and grounds are very well cared for… The pool was a welcome area and we made good use of it …. The bbq area was convenient with ample seating while you we’re waiting for your food to cook….a nice place to talk to other guests. The laundry facilities were appreciated. All in all we had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider booking another stay in the future.

Relaxing stay by the ocean
We had a great 2-night stay at this studio. It is not located in the buildings that are closer to the water, but it still offers a beautiful ocean view (and it is only steps away from the beach). The studio was clean, and the kitchenette was well-equipped. We really enjoyed the pool and relaxing in the spa, while contemplating the view. It is also a great place to have a beach fire. The host is responsive and the communication was easy. A dining table on the balcony (there is currently a coffee table) would be a great addition to this unit - although guests also have access to shared spaces with dining tables.

Peacefully beautiful
Perfect for a couple to explore the shore line swim in the ocean or pool The hot tub is too small but the views are spectacular The suite was compacte but comfortably arranged and very clean The bed was surprisingly comfortable We used the bbq and had lovely suppers on the balcony I would suggest bringing your food because there is a limited amount of restaurants in the area and you may as well enjoy the grounds Thank you Gen !!!

Place was fantastic for a getaway. Ocean, pool, hot tub! Enjoyed it all. Close to some great paddling. Only suggestion would be a memory foam topper for the bed, as it is very firm. Cheers!

Nice view, bed was a bit hard. The fridge would be too small for a longer stay. A great area to hike and kayak. The Mahle restaurant was a pleasant surprise and not far away.

About the host

Hosted by Genevieve Jarvis

Host profile image
I'm a registered nurse working at Royal Jubilee Hospital, married to a musician. We grew up on Vancouver Island and after living in Toronto for a few years returned west in 2002 to live in Victoria. We weren't sure if we'd stay... but it doesn't really get any better than the west coast of Canada. Camping in remote areas on the island or travelling abroad, we like to have adventures. When Covid slowed us down I got creative and found this gem of a property.

Why they chose this property

My husband works part time at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo and he dreamed of less commuting. So when I saw this listing... it looked too good to be true. We booked a viewing and the pictures didn't do it justice. It's a dream come true owning a vacation property on the water. Inn of the Sea provides a community vibe with friendly neighbours and guests who are happy to be there to enjoy the beautiful 3.5 acre private oceanfront property. So we took a big gamble and hope to make it work by sharing our haven with you.

What makes this property unique

The hot tub is open year round and the swimming pool overhanging the ocean is heated seasonally. The large dock provides boat moorage or a great place to dive off into the warm waters of Stuart Channel. Lots of places to hike nearby or enjoy the 3.5 acres of private oceanfront property at Inn of the Sea. Lounge on the lawn, float in the pool, or grab a racket for a game of tennis at our private court. Friendly neighbours & guests are often found at the beachfront fire pit enjoying happy hour.
