Summary: Great stay. Perfect location
Leanne T. Jul 15, 2025 01:33:57 AM
Summary: This is my second stay at this VRBO and find the suite and ocean setting to be lovely. The suite is clean and well appointed to support basic meal preparation. The location at departure bay beach is great with easy access to refreshing dips in the ocean and viewing of the marine activity in Departure Bay. Taaja is very accommodating and easy to deal with.This unit gets wonderful cross breezes through the windows but is not equipped with AC. I would recommend this unit.

Summary: Beautiful place.
Jeannell C. Jun 2, 2025 11:34:45 AM
Summary: We attended a family wedding in Nanaimo,BC. We selected this accommodation based on proximity to family and the fact that it is waterfront. It was exactly as promised. The space and furnishings were comfortable. There were only two of us but it can sleep 4. My husband picked the larger bed and bedroom but it didn’t take long to establish preference for the smaller bedroom with double glass doors to the sea. We slept with the doors open every night thereafter. The hosts were visible but not intrusive. My husband was very pleased with the hot shower and good water pressure. The kitchen is adequate and well stocked. The only downside is the 17 steps to the second floor from the private entrance. In true European tradition, all shoes are left in the entry and socks and house shoes worn in the apartment. The location is superb. It’s a beach walk to the Drip, a coffee and sandwich shop. Public busses stop nearby but a vehicle is recommended. It’s a small community but not walkable to stores or downtown. We hope for a return visit the next time we travel to BC.

Summary: The Randle House is a wonderful place to stay. Perfect location, clean, quiet and all the comforts of home. The convenience of the private entrance and enjoying the bay front balcony from the bedroom were excellent. Communication with the property owners before and during our stay was great. We would absolutely stay here again.

Summary: Nice and quiet right on the beach. Very central if your interested in exploring areas around Nanaimo.
Kwasi A. Apr 22, 2025 06:15:00 AM
Summary: So happy with our stay - this exceeded all expectations. It is much larger than expected, spotlessly clean and beautifully quiet. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of utensils, which made cooking convenient when we weren't discovering restaurants. The location was picturesque, truly steps from the beach with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Taaja and Ken were the best hosts imaginable. They are extremely friendly, thoughtful and considerate, and every one of their recommendations were spot-on.Highly recommend-this was one of our best travel experiences to date!

Summary: We loved our stay at this property, amazing views! The hosts were welcoming and accommodating. I would definitely return!
