Description
Beautiful waterfront home on Protection Island! Just 10 minutes boat or passenger ferry ride from Downtown Nanaimo! This peaceful 3 bed 2 bath home is situated on a low bluff, facing views of the Salish Sea & the mainland mountains beyond. Enter through a spacious entry/mudroom, opposite a 3 piece bath & laundry area; from there wander into the kitchen/eating area where you'll find room for all the family to gather around the central custom wood table with storage below.The living room directs your gaze through floor to ceiling windows to ocean views & the ever changing tidal landscape.The main bedroom has a sliding door to the wraparound deck,& a 2nd bedroom adjoining would make an ideal home office with its own exterior door. A 3rd bedroom overlooks the garden area where you'll find a finished shop/studio with a 3rd bathroom. The home features a new roof, with new skylight, (2025) and a newer gas fireplace. At lowest tides of the year walk across to neighbouring Saysutshun Island; kayak from your own beach access;or simply sit out on your deck & enjoy the incredible surroundings. If you're looking for a waterfront home in Nanaimo- consider a visit to Protection Island, where you will have the benefit of City services - mains water supply -( unlike other Gulf Islands). From here you can easily connect to larger centres via seaplane from Nanaimo Harbour, nearby Helijet, Hullo passenger fast ferry and BC ferries. Protection has its own Fire Station with trained first responders, a Community Hall for island events, a volunteer library and community garden, and a year round passenger ferry. (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
