Island View B&B - Nanaimo

Family-focused B&B with sea views and a half-acre garden in Nanaimo

Accommodations

Island View B&B provides rooms with sea or garden views, each equipped with a private bathroom. The Queen Room with Sea View offers a direct sightline across the water to the mainland. The Twin Room with Garden View connects to a private bathroom through a curtain, giving two single beds and a view of the property's half-acre garden.

Breakfast & Hospitality

Breakfast is personalized based on discussions with host Darlene the night before, including homemade scones, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and croissants. The host prepares breakfast at a time chosen by guests, then sits and chats with them during the meal. This daily interaction is a consistent part of the Island View B&B experience, noted by multiple guests.

Garden & Grounds

The B&B sits on a half-acre garden that the host maintains and actively shows to guests, who report seeing lilies, hummingbirds, and a black squirrel on the balcony. The garden is accessible for guest relaxation at any time. This 0.5-acre space is a central part of the property's appeal.

Families with Young Children

Island View B&B allows up to two children under 2 years in the family-friendly environment. The Twin Room with Garden View is used by families traveling with small children, as one guest family noted a 1-night stay. The B&B's layout and garden offer space for young families to feel at home.
