Having booked the big beach log house at this property for New Year's 2011, we decided to go again with a large group of friends for another New Year's celebration. Our group was even bigger this time, so we ended up booking a second 2 bedroom unit to accommodate our numbers. Overall, another great stay. From the first email to... More

I stayed at Shady Shores 5 nights. Was fantastic! The place is really nice. Being in the Hot Tub watching at the ocean: Priceless. The location was perfect for my trip. It's not too far from Nanaimo, but it's enough far for being quiet. AND it was almost on my way going to Tofino (a little bit out of my... More

The beach house is beautiful, has a beautiful property and is located right on the beach which is awesome, however, it is also located right next door to the owner. This made us feel very uncomfortable and like we were being watched, so we had to shut the curtains on that side of the house at all times for some... More

We took three nights with my daughter and grandson to give us time to enjoy island time and chose Shady Shores. We wanted firstly a kitchen, two separate bedrooms, on the ocean with spectacular views, price we could afford and close enough to Nanaimo to catch a ferry. It was important to be central. We got all that and a... More

Shady Shores is an escape to a tranquil and beautiful Beach resort. The scenery is absolutely stunning. The sound of the water on the rocky beach and the view of the mountains on a clear day are breathtaking! Waking up to the sunrise and the smells of the Ocean was great! Accommodations were perfect and we had everything we needed... More

When we arrived we noticed that they had a pluming emergency and they were in the... More

My husband took me to Shady Shores for my birthday in February and we LOVED IT SO MUCH, we returned for another week-end in March, and again in April. We have stayed in the "Honeymoon Suite" and in both of the waterfront cabins. Each stay was wonderful, Bald Eagles, Sea Lions, Seals and our fires on the beach were all... More

Shady Shores is incredibly natural, beautiful and relaxing. The resort is quiet, you can sit and watch the eagle, herons and seals in wonderful peace. I can't say enough about how truly fantastic it is to watch "the nature chanel" in 3D on Mother nature's big screen. We stayed in the beach cabins, they are small, but have everything a... More

This is the second time we've stayed here, and can't say enough good things about Carolyn and Shady Shores! We have thoroughly enjoyed both times spent there, and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting somewhere central to do day trips from, peace & quiet for a relaxing vacation, hot tub, kayaks & canoes, watching seals, bald eagles, otters, and...
