RELAX, BE INSPIRED HAVE FUN IN THIS SAVVY SEAGULL SUITE RETREAT

Come relax, create or base your island excursions from this fully appointed two bedroom suite retreat.

Located in one of the quietest, prettiest, most convenient locations in Nanaimo; it is the home of resident host Ray Patrick.

The suite was purposed with your comfort and carefree stay foremost in its preparation. Complete with luxurious bedding, fluffy pillows, heated floor bathroom, tub/ shower, spa quality toiletries, cushy robes and slippers.


Your kitchen is fully appointed with a full size fridge, stove and all you'll need to create your favorite meals. If you don't feel like cooking then adventure out to experience some of the many fine dining restaurants which Nanaimo has to offer.

Your suite includes a spacious living area with gas fireplace, flat screen HDTV, cable with many viewing channels, Wi-Fi, area maps, brochures, games, books and puzzles.

Also a washer and dryer are in suite, for your convenience.

Enjoy relaxing on your private covered deck with ocean, mountain, and forest views, after you’ve taken in the sights and sounds of wonderful Nanaimo.

There are many beautiful parks, lakes, places to visit in Nanaimo less than 15 minutes away.

You’re a 6 min walk, 2 min drive to one of the nicest parks, “Neck Point Park", which is right across the street. Many people enjoy hiking up to the bluff there and watching the breathtaking sunsets. You may catch sight of a pod of orca or dolphin swimming right by you as you gaze and share a bottle of your favorite beverage. It’s such a romantic, place we feel lucky to live here. "Pipers Lagoon Park" and "Linley Valley Park" are just a three minute drive. Bring the swim suits, snorkel, kayak, boat and fishing rods for your own marine discoveries.

Nanaimo has all the shopping amenities you’ll need, and lots of excursions you can take, including a trip to Mount Washington for skiing just over an hour away. With its central location, Nanaimo is a perfect base point for other trips all over the island.

Savvy Seagull is an adult oriented guest suite, though children are welcome. Ask owner about its suitability regarding the age of your children.

Unfortunately, sorry but the suite is not wheelchair accessible. There are stairs to descend to get to the suite.

The hosts live up stair and have pets of their own, therefore your pets are not able to accompany you in your stay.

Savvy Seagull is a smoke free environment. Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the premises.

Welcome to your island getaway. I look forward to making your stay a “SPLENDIFEROUS” occasion. Ray

Beautiful hideaway
This property was lovely. It faces the water, it’s completely private, and access to all that Nanaimo has to offer is convenient. Our hosts were friendly and unobtrusive, and we all enjoyed our stay. Our boys loved the fireplace and the opportunity to watch the sunrise from the deck.

Stay at Savvy Seagull
Very clean, comfortable and quiet for. Any suggestion might be that a motion light be installed near the door. We came in after dark every night and needed to use our phone to see the key pad.

short visit at Seagull suite
The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and cozy.The kitchen was very well equipped, as well as the bathroom. Robes and sandals were a nice touch. Too bad we stayed only 2 days, as we were visiting the family living in Nanaimo during the day. The algae on the steps were slippery, so we had to watch our step. Ray and James were nice and caring hosts.

A Christmas week in Nanaimo
Great location with view of the trees of Neck Point. lots of room in 2-bedroom suite for 2 of us. One bed very firm and 1 softer. Really enjoyed gas fireplace. Full kitchen with almost everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. Only negative were the 32 steps down to our rental suite entrance as it is on a steep lot. The owner and family kindly helped us get our luggage and food supplies down the steps.

Comfortable and well equipped
Accommodation very good, and would be fine for up to four. Main issue was first impressions of house front at street level. We did not realize that the rental was down many steps to the bottom level at the back. So view was more limited than expected. Steps down make it difficult for older couples like us, although we were able to leave through the back laneway so did not have to carry bags back up the steps.

Home away from Home
We came to Nanaimo to see relatives. After a day of touring, it was great to come back to the "seagull", to relax and recharge for the next day of sightseeing. The proximity to Neck Point also gave us a chance to exercise. We'd book this property again if we come back to Nanaimo in the future.

Vancouver Island Adventure
This property was just as stated the VRBO listing. Cleanliness is of first importance to us and the "Savvy Seagull" met this criteria. The host, Ray and her spouse were gracious without being intefering. I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to rest or explore Vancouver Island. Good location for access to Victoria or the inland (Sproat Lake, etc.)>

location to the waterfront parks is a great feature,
The host was very accommodating and seemed genuinely concerned that everything was ok. The suite was very well-equipped with almost everything you need or forgot (even had shaving cream!) It's not quite waterfront as pictures might suggest, however within a 5m drive to numerous waterfront parks. The suite lacks a dishwasher and is located in the lower suite of the host's home. It is a walkout so NOT a basement suite. The two separate bedrooms are a bonus. There is a walkway on the side of the house which leads to the suite. There are quite a few stairs to navigate. Overall the location to the waterfront parks is a great feature, obviously, price is a consideration and at the time we booked the $ per night was a great value.
