Spectacular oceanfront B&B in our modern executive home in north Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. All three rooms offer ocean view, decks with hot tub, a beach deck, with garden steps between. Included is a games/entertainment/sitting area, coffee/tea/cappuccino bar, fruit bowl and the famous Nanaimo Bar dessert, gourmet breakfasts, menu changes daily and caters to any dietary needs. Enjoy our smoke and pet free environment. We promise a memorable stay.
We loved our wonderful suite (very spacious, clean and modern), the scenery when watching to the ocean and the wonderful warm atmosphere created by our hosts Marilyn & Glenn who treated us like very good friends or even family members. Breakfast was extraordinary and the Capuccino prepared by Glenn is probably the best in all over Canada. We received very good tips for restaurants and spots to visit nearby. In the evening we had wine together and talked about our experiences, our families and laughed a lot when observing "Hector" (a seal nearby) and "Peter" - the Bald Eagle flying around and sitting in the top of nearby trees to observe the next catch.

We booked MGM Seashore B&B based on a recommendation from the Tourism Nanaimo office. It's no wonder Marilyn and Glenn's place was at the top of the list! Over 3 days in June, my wife and I enjoyed their warm, friendly approach to their hosting, in addition to some wonderful breakfasts!! Marilyn and Glenn's local knowledge also led us to some nice hiking spots and other places of interest that we will keep in our "back pocket" for the next time we are on the Island :)
The amenities, including the hot tub and waterfront, were excellent! The views from our room/balcony were spectacular, from dawn until dusk. We enjoyed the several bald eagles that regularly visited the property! We would highly recommend MGM Seashore B&B for an authentic bed and breakfast experience!

Marilyn and Glenn gave us a very warm welcome and they were great hosts. The accomodation is beautiful and from the honey moon suite we had an amazing view on the ocean. Marilyn gave us some nice tips for a walking tour along the coast. We can really recommend the accomodation. Thank you very much, Marilyn and Glenn.

We spent two nights in Nanaimo at this lovely place. Marilyn and Glenn were perfect hosts! We had a lot of space including a beautiful veranda with the ocean right in front of us and a warm tub as well as a billard table/ kitchen and living room. Marilyn provided a home cooked breakfast, which was very tasty,, diversified, healthy and nicely decorated!! We spent a nice evening with both of them and shared experiences. We enjoyed staying with them.

We booked MGM Seashore B&B based on the 5 star reviews, and it did not disappoint! Marilyn and Glenn are the sweetest, kindest hosts you will ever meet and full of helpful tips on things to do and where to eat. The breakfasts were better than anything you'd find in a restaurant, with 2 courses, coffee and juices, and two options each day of which breakfast you'd like. We had arrived late our first night, and had been offered Glenn's delicious bread fresh from the oven, with cheese, cookies, and chips Glenn also makes himself! The view from the B&B is delightful, and the cozy living room downstairs is a great spot to curl up by the fire and watch for seals or whales. Also enjoyed the view from the hot tub! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. Thank you Marilyn and Glenn for our generous hospitality! (2 couples in their 30's)

This is our go-to getaway ! We've been coming here since 2005, just looked through the visitors books and found 7 visits! Glenn and Marilyn have been so accommodating and welcoming. The suites are always impeccably clean and well appointed. The views from the decks and beach front are spectacular in the summer, our favorite time to visit. The breakfasts are something else! Fresh berries and fruit, cappocianos or coffee and Glenns famous breads and waffles, yummy!

Marilyn and Glenn are the perfect hosts and very attentive. The view from our suite across the water to Powell River was amazing and we enjoyed a fantastic sunset. Breakfasts were delicious - and very filling! Marilyn gave us some great suggestions for where to visit during our first ever stay in Nanaimo and as a result we had a perfect day of exploring some of the beautiful area not too far from the B&B. As fellow B&Bers it was so nice to be pampered for a change. Thank you for a memorable stay!

We spent two nights as a family (3 kids) at Marilyn and Glenn's house and couldn't have done better. The accommodation is very lovingly furnished - absolutely nothing is missing. The breakfast was so good that we will try some of the recipes at home. Marilyn and Glenn were wonderful hosts. We hope to see them again.
