BIG VISTA - BEST VRBO!
You will want for nothing during you stay at Big Vista! Debby and John are the best hosts we have ever encountered and their stunning Vrbo rental, with its gorgeous views, is our favourite of the many we have stayed at. This was our fourth year staying at Big Vista and we are already looking forward to returning next year!!

Magnificent Ocean View and Gorgeous Suite
We loved our stay at Debby and John's suite. They are amazing hosts, responsive, so friendly, informative. The unit was thoughtfully furnished with everything covered. The ocean view, the gorgeous gardens, fully equipped kitchen were the best we have seen. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this suite. Thank you!!

Lovely time in Nanaimo
This property is everything it is advertised. The room is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and then there is the view. We were there 10 days of which we spent two entire days looking out at the Strait of Georgia and relaxed. Our hosts told us that was not unusual. Our hosts Debby and John were super friendly and gave us lots useful information such as when whales were out as well as local trails and parks that were good for limited mobility walkers. We would definately come back here and may do so next year.

Best views on Vancouver Island
We had a great stay here. The place was so nice we had a hard time leaving even when we left for day trips to Nanaimo and Cathedral Grove. Saw whales and and assortment of wild life from the flat. Enjoyed the sunsets from the deck.

Perfect destination in Nanaimo
This VRBO is a 12/10. Wonderfully organized, clean, with stunning ocean views. The kitchen amenities and quality of appliances were superb. The hosts bent over backwards to make us comfortable. Can’t thank John and Debby enough. Lots of ocean sites close by. It simply is PERFECT

The suite was perfect- very clean with every amenity necessary. The view is spectacular and hosts, Debby and John, are very accommodating and gracious. One of the best VRBO rentals we've experienced and we've stayed in hundreds over the years. We hope to return again next summer.
