Shady Shores Beach Resort

What guests loved the most

“Very very nice staff. The owner delightful; she went out of her way to help me and my daughter for recommending what to do nearby. Very peaceful place and ideal for oyster lovers (you can grab them yourself from the beach outside your door and eat fresh there and that). Great accommodation. Beautiful views all hours if the day. Very clean premises. Very convenient although very secluded; everything you need is there; or if anything else is required, staff do all they can to make sure you are happy. Highly recommend the place.”

“A very steep descent into site off the coast road, with a sharp turn in if you are heading north, (easier heading south with a left turn in). Nasty broken concrete slab to contend with. Warm welcome and unit was fine, but cramped. Well appointed but small lounge area, TV, kitchen and bathroom fine. But too big double beds in Unit No. 2, prevented both bedroom doors being shut due to small rooms. It was fine for one night as we were passing through, but a family staying for a week, would find this rather tiresome I think. Fabulous location, literally ON the beach, idyllic setting overlooking towards mainland Canada. Nearby grocery & liquor stores, with dining cafes as well.”

“The managers of the site were very helpful and nothing was too much of a problem. The trip was really enjoyable. Very relaxing and right on the beach.”

“The host was extremely friendly and helpful. It was nice to have a folding sofa so each of our sons could have a separate sleeping area. The view on the beach and the sea is beautiful. It's a shame the cars could not be parked further away so we could have a nice, open view. The BBQ installation was very convenient.”

“The owners are a really nice couple - the place was right at the water”

“The cottage, or half a cottage, that we stayed in was literally feet away from the beach. Watched an Eagle swoop down and try to take a seal's breakfast! Great view from the tiny table by the bay window.”

“Right on the beach! Very cute little cabins. Very nice woman that runs it.”

“The coziness of the facility, closeness to ocean and beach. Friendly staff, comfort of Beds.”

“We spent the August long weekend at Shady Shores and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Bev, the manager, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She went WAY above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, including BBQ and hot tub access, oyster shuckers, firewood for our campfire, and even a safe ride home from the wedding that we attended in Deep Bay! Thanks, Bev, for your hospitality. We hope to be back very soon.”

“The location was great for exploring Vancouver Island - so nice to be able to cook in the kitchenette instead of having to scramble to get out for every meal. Beautiful waterfront location, helpful staff, never saw or heard another guest while we were there, though we saw their cars...very quiet!”
