This a very peaceful and relaxing property to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the winter weather and outdoor firewood heated hot tub! Matt was a great host and left thorough instructions on the property as well as great local recommendations. We would highly recommend this property.

We had a great Christmas week stay at Matt’s place. Beautiful unblocked ocean view. Well equipped kitchen to allow us to cook Christmas Eve dinner while most restaurants closed. Great location to convenient shopping: Costco, stores, restaurants within 10 to 15 minutes drive. 3 comfortable bedrooms with 2 bath rooms, clean linen and bedding. Well decorated house as pictures show. WiFi, TV connection to favorite YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video etc. The house is on the hill, so it takes steps to get in, so for people need accessibility, it may be a little challenging- the photo already shows it. For our stay everything was wonderful. We noticed there is people living downstairs, just hope not much noise causing disruptions to family living there. Highly recommend Matt’s place . Summer could be more beautiful and fun!

Wonderful little basement apartment to stay in. My dog and I stayed for about a week while we were in town. The house were incredibly responsive and receptive. Nice little walking path right outside the house restaurant within 10 minutes and everything you need inside the place to unwind after a day would definitely stay again if I come back to the area.

We had a perfect cabin stay in the woods. The space was incredibly cozy, the beds were super comfy, the fireplace was lovely, and the place was generously stocked with wood. The wood-burning hot tub was truly the icing on the cake! The kitchen was great to cook in, especially with the gas stove, and you can tell the host has thought of everything—nightlights, extra linens, and all the little touches that make a stay feel warm and welcoming. Our little family had a wonderful getaway. Highly recommend!

It’s such an amazing apartment. Everything was looking exactly like on the photos. The view was stunning. Nature was all around us and also some restaurants were near by. It was super cozy in the living room and there was a great kitchen with everything in it what could be needed. The check in and out was very easy going and with the code you had not to care about any keys. Matt cared a lot about us and asked how it’s going. We would definitely come back when visiting Nanaimo again.

We had a wonderful stay with our full family! The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect — close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. Communication with the host and caretakers was excellent and made check-in and our entire stay smooth and stress-free. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Beautiful garden you walk through to get to the location. Keys very easy to access, bed is comfortable. We had a very quiet and peaceful stay and would stay here again.

Matt's place was absolutely lovely! It was spacious, clean, and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Indoor highlights included the beautiful view of the water from the living room & patio, the super comfy bed, and the huge spa tub! I also loved swimming in Craig Bay just steps away, and using the indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna! You can hear the neighbours pretty clearly through the walls, but I really didn't mind. And make sure you pull the front door handle towards you when you are entering the lock code - it took me several tries to get in before a passing neighbour gave me the tip :) I would absolutely stay at Matt's place again and highly recommend to anyone!
