Vacation rentals with a patio in Sechelt

Sandra was delightful, friendly, and very personable. She had great recommendations for local spots based on our itinerary for the day, and gave us lots of local tips. Her place felt safe, and she had lots of thoughtful touches like snacks, drinks, books, and good shampoos and soaps! I would stay there again :)

The surrounding were beautiful and very peaceful. We went for lots of walks and always had wildlife to enjoy. The birds were always singing and the owl was very active. The dogs were a wonderful greeting party. We would highly rate this as a place to stay especially if you want to get away from it all. Our host was very friendly and helpful. Felt right at home. We will stay here again.

The attention to detail made this interior space feel welcoming and inviting from the moment I arrived. I can't think of a thing that could have made it nicer. The views were everchanging with a variety of weather patterns during my stay. The ocean and sky were so interesting, even dramatic at times. From the windows I saw eagles, seals and the herring season that came and went, turning the water a tropical blue. So funny to see, when we know the ocean is freezing this time of year. Fishing boats were there a few days, taking their catch. Then walking in the neighbourhood, even the occasional deer to surprise you. So many paths to the beach to walk along the rocky shore when the tide is out. Daytrips are easy to go to everything, from this location. Just a short drive to the main highway and you can see so many interesting things available on central Vancouver Island. I imagine in the summer it would be even lovelier. The hosts were so friendly and helpful.

This place is a hidden gem. We loved all of the amenities (especially the outdoor hot tub). One of our favorite parts of our stay was speaking with all of the neighbours about where to go, where to eat, etc. One neighbour even showed us around the resort including the trail system behind. It was a beautiful place filled with lovely people.

Travis was a fantastic host. We rented both A&B suites which was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) The suite was clean and had extra blankets which were nice to use while sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean with our glasses of wine. Hot tub and workout facilities were good. The walking paths right outside the building were our favorite - takes you out to the ocean to play in tidal pools - so much fun! We would love to stay again next time we're in the area! It's a beautiful gem in a central location to Parksville and Nanaimo!

Even better than the pictures. Amazing view, thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable king sized bed! The property has wonderful amenities including a restaurant, gym, and spa - but it has a small intimate feel. We just wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to come back to this beautiful spot!

Home away from Home, is how I would describe this. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were not only welcomed there but that we could feasibly own this place. We stayed a total of 5 nights, and were began to feel sad after the 4th night, knowing we would have to leave. Being literal steps from the ocean made for beautiful sunsets and serene mornings. The area is fairly well protected from winds as we were facing a North-West direction. The indoor pool, hot tub, gym and games room are all within a quick 3-minute walk. The indoor pool is very large with a large shallow area for the kiddo's. Indoor pool has a Dry Sauna as well. The hosts, Kimberly and John, are very communicative. There is a provided binder with local amenities and Places of Interest. We took their suggestions and had a wonderful time getting to know the area! All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have officially decided that we will be making Vancouver Island our yearly destination.

Beautiful weekend getaway spot. Looks just like the pictures, felt right at home! Thanks Raylene, will definitely be coming back.

Bench 170 is a very special spot. As my nephew said on arrival, it's 10 out of 10. The house is beautiful and everything was of top quality, the proximity to the beach so great, and we've never experienced such thoughtful touches in all our combined travels. The home had everything we could anticipate, including laundry facilities, pantry items, toys for kids. It was a great combination of a gorgeous holiday home and it being a comfortable livable spot.

Beautiful place and had a great time!

We had an amazing three nights at Katie's. The location is peaceful with gorgeous views and the suite exceeded our expectations. We could see that every small detail was thought of for cooking and kitchen needs (eg spices, kitchen tools etc) and the place was very modern and beautiful inside. It was also a great dog-friendly place to bring out pup. Will definitely come back again in the future!

Very beautiful and peaceful! Wonderfully decorated and super accommodating as we brought our little girl and dog with us! Would stay again when we are on the coast!

Ramona’s place is absolutely beautiful! It’s so serene and peaceful and she is an amazing host that is super responsive, helpful and friendly! We would definitely love to stay at her place again in future!

I recently stayed at Ashley's place, and it was an exceptional experience! The property was exactly as described (and even better in person). It was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the décor and amenities made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, especially the view was amazing. I loved the closed huge backyard too because of my dog. Ashley was incredibly welcoming and providing clear communications. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. We definitely gonna stay at this place again. This time Summer.

Everyone loved this beautiful house. Lots of space for kids to play, and the house was equipped, furnished and stocked so thoughtfully. Michelle was so friendly and responsive and made sure we're enjoying the place to the fullest. As a bonus, kids got to play with the house cats in the backyard!

This was the most incredible little escape! The apartment was spotless, beautifully set up, and had everything I needed. The pull-out couch was comfortable, and the main bed was perfect for a great night’s sleep. The view from the front yard is absolutely stunning, with mountains that take your breath away. It is also so central, making it easy to get around Nanaimo. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and their sweet big dog greeted me warmly from the upper deck, which made it feel even more like home. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

Our family loved the spacious, bright two bedroom layout! The furnishings are beautiful, and the beds are super comfy. The kitchen was well stocked and the water views from the balconies were a wonderful bonus. The amenities are fantastic, the restaurant is conveniently close, and the pool, gym, and sauna are great additions. The outdoor hot tub feels like a natural hot spring & the 12ac beach front resort allowed for coastal exploration. Tannis was a great host & very friendly. We’ll hope to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful spot to spend a few nights! Awesome facility, loved the outdoor hottub. The unit was very comfortable and nicely decorated. There seems to be no insulation between the suites, but fortunately the neighbors were all quiet while we were there

This condo was so great! I could live here. It had pretty much anything you could need for a short or long stay. The full kitchen was nice with the full size, 6 person table. There were several condiments, tea and coffee left in the kitchen to use. The bathrooms and beds were beautiful. Even the hide-a-bed was fairly comfortable. The pool, hot tub and gym were in a different building so we only used them once. The beach and walking path were right outside the door. The walk is definitely worth it, even if you don’t have a lot of time. Other than the shoreline, Nanoose Bay is within an hour of many hikes, waterfalls and hidden gems to explore. We didn’t find a bakery or grocery store within walking distance. The closest would be Parksville which is not far. But you do have to drive or set out for a long walk. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you!

We loved staying at Jordyn’s place as we went to the Grotto Spa at the tigh na mara very near by. It was convenient to get to the water and close to many amenities. We would be happy to stay there again.

Kim hosted some of our family for our wedding at Pacific Shores. Everything went great, checkin was easy and Kim was super helpful, responsive and communicative about everything needed for the place. Lovely condo in a beautiful resort. 5 🌟 experience!

The apartment had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was well labelled and Andrea even had “kid” dishes so it suited us perfectly. There is a dishwasher which was great:. The place was tidy and clean. We had meals outside and enjoyed the view from the patio. The kids enjoyed the small outdoor pool which was heated. There is access to a marina from the property but no beach. Andrea was very communicative and responsive. She answered questions about the unit when needed and was helpful to provide local recommendations for beaches and things to do. We arrived late at night in the pitch dark but Andrea’s instructions to find the unit were helpful and much needed as there were no signs indicating any unit numbers that we could see. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend Andrea’s apartment to anyone exploring Halfmoon Bay!

We stayed at Dawn's Nest Feb 17 to March 17 2025. The location in Nanoose Bay was ideal for us as we like to tour. We went south to Victoria, north to Comox, west to Port Alberni and Tofino. The view from the 4th floor was amazing especially at high tide when it came right up the creek by the building. Sheltered parking, elevator, sauna, two hot tubs, large pool, beautiful walking trails along the shore etc made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. It was our first time renting on the island. We are sure we lucked out and got one of the best the first time. We would definitely stay here again. Thankyou Dawn and John for helping to make our holiday a great one holiday. Don and Peggy.

We loved our stay at Andrea’s place. It was extremely clean. The space had everything we needed even down to a bin of spare chargers! It was also very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. It even had good coffee!!! The toys, books and board games were such a lovely touch and were so helpful for us entertaining our kids. I find traveling with children they aren’t always as welcomed but we certainly didn’t feel that during our stay here. We had the opportunity to request a high chair and pack and play (with a crib mattress). It was an easy walk to the beach and we very much enjoyed our time exploring what Parksville had to offer. It was April when we visited but the close proximity to the pool in the summer months would also be a hit. Andrea was very accommodating and we can’t wait to come back. I’d give her more stars if I could!
