Seaview Beach House, Nanaimo, BC

Our extensively upgraded private waterfront residence sits on a long swath of "walk-on" oceanfront beach in Departure Bay, in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.

Nestled at the end of a laneway and fronting on to the beach, this 2,100 square foot home has sweeping views of Departure Bay and the far off Coastal Mountain Range. Watch ferries and seaplanes come and go, eagles soar overhead and seals and otters playing off the front deck. The house faces east, so you will wake to magnificent sunrises that flood the house with light through floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

With over 2,100 square feet of living space, the exceptionally spacious 3-bedroom, 3- full bathroom home (maximum of 6 guests) is West Coast living at its best. Renovated in 2008 to exacting standards, the light-infused home boasts large open principal rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, floor-to-ceiling glass windows on two levels, a wood-burning fireplace, a large oceanfront cedar wrap-around deck, skylights, and parking for two vehicles in a private driveway. There is easy access for kayak and canoe launching at the house, and numerous boat ramps within a 2-kilometre radius.

An Ideal Waterfront Location

Departure Bay is a mere 1.5 kilometers from shopping and dining with a number of restaurants within walking distance of the house. Nanaimo is a thriving community of parks, beaches, charming eclectic shops, waterfront walks, marinas and myriad dining choices from fine to casual, plus all the modern convenience needed for an enjoyable stay. These include grocery stores, gas stations, libraries, theatres, restaurants and delis, specialty food shops, spas, doctors and dentists, massage therapists and beauty salons.

The city of Nanaimo sits mid-Island and is a central arrival and departure point for BC Ferries to the BC Mainland. There is also an airport, or you can come and go via seaplane (Harbour Air, Seair Seaplanes or Westcoast Air) into Nanaimo Harbour from downtown Vancouver or Vancouver International Airport. The seaplane trip is only 20 minutes!
