The Nook at Nanoose Bay - Oceanview - Studio
Summary: This is a private entrance, studio apartment on the top floor of an oceanfront condominium with private bathroom and covered deck. Enjoy the quiet charm of the Pacific Shores Resort, situated on beautiful Craig Bay with sheltered tidal waters & amazing views to the Salish Sea. We are a little off the beaten path and yet only minutes to downtown Parksville. Our suite at Pacific Shores Resort has many great amenities and is also a great base for experiencing all the area has to offer.
The Space: With a king size bed, and a love seat that opens up to a single twin size mattress, this studio unit can easily accommodate 3 people. The suite has a small fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee machine, basic kitchen items and glassware (no sink). There is an electric fireplace and a balcony with a view of the estuary and bay. There is free covered guest parking close by the building.
This is a privately owned condo located in the Pacific Shores Resort. You are steps away and have access to all the Resort's amenities, including the indoor pool (Closed on Mondays), hot tub, sauna, BBQ areas, pickle-ball courts, children's play area, work-out room, and games room. In the summer, the Resort's amenities also include kayaks, paddle boards and lawn games. Seasonal amenities are the responsibility of Pacific Shores Resort & Spa and are available on a first come first serve basis.
There will be a key card left in the room for access to the pool and gym. Check in at the front desk. They can give you towels for your use at the pool.
There is elevator access to the suite, making it easily accessible for guests.
When available, this suite can also be combined with the adjoining 1-bed/1-bath condo (Suite A) with full kitchen and amenities, to create a wonderful family experience. Suite A can sleep 4 and includes a full kitchen.
Guest Access: Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada Truly a nature lover's paradise, we are located in the heart of Nanoose Bay 10 minutes from downtown Parksville, BC. It's a very special community featuring farm fresh products, local marina and golf course. We are ideally located for all tourist activities, natural sight seeing spots, beaches, pubs and restaurants, and all other shopping.
We are located on a tidal beach where the tide goes in and out 1km every day. Stroll the stunning landscapes and beaches of Pacific Shores, walk across the ocean floor during low tide to Rathtrevor Beach, and swim in the warm waters at sunset.
This is a nature resort, with waterfalls, lovely gardens, trails and viewing decks. Our favourite deck, which we call the "Sunset Deck", has 2 propane fire pits and we love to sip our wine and watch the tide and the sunsets.
We are conveniently located mid Island ; it is a 2.5 hr drive to Tofino & 2 hrs to Victoria.
Ski Mount Washington-only 1 hr drive.
The Neighborhood: Explore the endless beauty of our large private beach, walk out to Rathtrevor beach collecting sand dollars at low tide or storm watch from the gazebo deck. This is a nature resort, with waterfalls, lovely gardens, and viewing decks. Our "sunset" deck features 2 propane fire pits. Relax at the ocean's edge and watch the sunset with your glass of wine. This is a quiet and rural area, a 10 minute drive to all the shopping and restaurants you could want in Parksville. Relaxation or adventure, it's all here at Pacific Shores Resort.

Really nice place to stay and can’t beat the price! The location is wonderful, right down on the water and easy access to the beach. Room was modern and clean and had lots of nice touches.
The only downside is the sound proofing between suites is not great. It was an issue one of the two nights we stayed.
If you are local and want a nice get away highly recommend or if you are visiting Vancouver island this would work as a wonderful base for day trips.
We had a comfortable and clean room. The property is lovely and we enjoyed walking on the paths and beach. Outdoor jacuzzi tub was great after a big hike. We enjoyed the onsite restaurant - great food - good entertainment one night. It would have been nice to have bathrobes to walk to the pool/hot tub.

The Nook studio condo makes a great get-away vacation stay. From the 4th floor there is a serene view of the estuary and Craig Bay. It's both comfortable and beautiful, and featured great amenities: a working fireplace, big flat TV, sofa, comfy king size bed, a kitchenette, a balcony, a fabulous deep jacuzzi tub, good lighting, and a convenient elevator near the parking garage. The building was quiet and the resort has lots of amenities and a beautiful setting to explore.
A pleasant surprise! Fully equipped modern studio and fully equipped grounds with BBQs courts hiking trails, sunset viewing and swimming beach! Would definitely return!

The resort and the area is beautiful. Georgeous sunsets and nice swimming area. Nicely maintained swimming pools and hot tubs. The unit was nice and cozy with a large jacuzzi tub. I filled it up and got in and then noticed some hairs in the tub. The extra sheets for the pull out bed were just thrown in the closet so it was hard to tell if they had been laundered.

Place was perfect for our stay on the island! Beds were super comfortable, suite was clean and stocked with all the essentials. Property includes access to pool and hot tub! Restaurant on site was also a plus and parking was very convenient!

Very nice condo, very clean, comfortable king bed, lots of very efficient plugins that we appreciated, lovely jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom. We appreciated the little selection of kitchen supplies to get started with. We loved sitting out on on private little protected balcony with a view of the bay. We made good use of the swimming pool and hot tub, plus the outdoor hottub. We walked on the amazingly made walkway on the water, all around the grounds. Plus there were places to sit and to BBQ - to further enjoy being outside. It was fun to watch sports while we enjoyed supper in the on-site restaurant. We would love to go back to just relax again.

Beautiful condo with a lovely patio and view of the stunning water. Everything included. Board games, dishes, fan, air conditioner. The blinds are new, electronic and easy to use. Property comes with a binder with a ton of information, dining, activities, beaches etc.
We were satisfied with our overall stay at the resort, however the bathroom needs some serious maintenance. The sliding doors on the balcony would not lock and need to be repaired. We were most disappointed with the lack of communication with the property manager. The food at the restaurant was exceptional however the lack of breakfast was disappointing. The view from our room was beautiful, very much enjoyed.
