Dolphin House - 3 Bedroom Oceanview Dolphin Beach

Welcome to Dolphin House, an enchanting coastal haven nestled in the serene resort neighborhood of Dolphin Beach near Nanoose Bay and Parksville on Vancouver Island.

The expansive windows frame breathtaking views that stretch across the ocean, capturing the essence of Sechelt and Gibson's Landing on the Coastal Mountain Range horizon.

A real nice stay
It was raining form time to time during our stay in the island but we were very comfortable indoor when needed. The garden of the house was lovely and it was interesting looking at a couple of the young deer wandering there through the window in the morning we were leaving. The serene park nearby was great too and we did have a leisurely walk. It's really a relaxing stay at the property, just feeling like home, and a pleasant memory for us to keep in mind.

Awesome place, great space, very quiet area. Exactly as we had hoped. Was surprised (in a good way!) with proximity to local pubs/restaurants (dog friendly!). Only thing to share is to be prepared to hop in car for most everything other than fantastic walks in the neighborhood, not many amenities other than the marina cafe/restaurant within walking distance.
