About this house rental
To avoid any confusion while you are navigating the VRBO site the rate is usually shown in USD, unless there is a capital C beside the rate which indicates CDN dollars.
Our vacation rental is in our primary home, which means we are approved to keep offering our vacation rental after the new rules are in place in May of 2024. We have always operated 100% legally and will continue to do so.
Our property is a spacious 3.5 acre parcel with lots of gorgeous trees and outdoor space right in the middle of the city. We have a lovely roomy, newly renovated one bedroom suite that sleeps 4 in a quiet, residential area of Nanaimo. Great for couples on a get away, as well as small families. Space for all to spread out to stay and play with board games, sit by the fire in the living room or in the eat in sun porch and the generous outdoor areas. The bedroom features a California King bed, as well as a very comfortable queen sofa bed in the living room. The bedroom has black out motorized blinds to help you rest. Hotel quality mattresses, linens and well appointed kitchen and bathroom with gorgeous granite counters and large shower with built in seat to help you feel at home and enjoy your stay. There is a new salt water communal in-ground outdoor sports pool redone this year available in the summer season with a very large concrete deck area surrounding it with a fire pit. Just yourselves and occasionally the owners will take a cooling dip. The suite also includes a full laundry room with folding counter and brand new washer and dryer. This is truly a property you can choose to stay in at, cook your meals in the generous kitchen and relax with mother nature surrounding you. It is just a 5 minute drive to ocean-side parks, great restaurants and unique local shops to explore. Nanaimo is a small city located mid way on amazing Vancouver Island, home to many beautiful ocean side parks, great hiking on Mount Benson and lots of green space to explore and enjoy. Please contact us if you are travelling with a pet, we do allow well behaved pets and can talk to you about your pets needs while you stay with us.

This was our third stay with Joy and we will be back. We consider it our home away from home in Nanaimo. Highlights are - super clean and quiet, VERY comfie bed and the wonderful back yard and pool. Thanks Joy and Chris!

Super clean accommodations; kitchen is well stocked as well as bathroom-towels, supplies. Wish we could’ve taken advantage of the pool - warm water, clean, lots of area to sit and relax.Host was lovely, very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for two nights in July. This place was great for the four of us and our dog. Our kids slept on the very comfortable pull out couch while we slept on the amazing king size bed. The place is very well set up and has all the necessities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our kids loved the pool in the yard. We all enjoyed just lounging around and taking in the park like setting around the pool. Parking for our motorhome was available and appreciated. Joy was such a great host. Any questions I had were responded to promptly. As well, she even brought us all ice cream treats one day!! Thanks so much Joy. This place is a real gem worthy of a 10 star rating.

What a wonderful getaway from the every day. We live on island and this was the perfect jumping point for our adventures. Joy was a great host and the Birdnest nest is a beautiful suite and a great fit for our family (toddler Shih tzu) and the private pool area is spectacular! We will definitely return! Thank-you!
