🏖️ BOB'S DEAL OF THE WEEK #4

What if you could own a piece of one of Parksville's best beachfront resorts without paying $1 million-plus for the whole property?

This week's Deal of the Week is a ¼-share at The Beach Club Resort, right on Parksville Beach.

For $249,900, this approximately 1,296 sq. ft. property gives you a spacious one-bedroom suite plus a separate lock-off studio, multiple bathrooms, private patios, incredible ocean and mountain views, and access to the resort's amenities.

And there's something I really like about this particular opportunity: it's not just a hotel room. It's a substantial vacation property that you can actually use, with the flexibility that comes with the lock-off configuration.

I take you through the property and explain how the fractional ownership works in this week's video.

🌊 BDOTW #3 — Waterfront

When people hear waterfront real estate, they often assume the price tag has to be $3M, $4M or more.

But here on Vancouver Island, that isn't necessarily the case.

In this week's Bob's Deal of the Week, I'm taking a look at a Nanoose Bay waterfront opportunity that offers something pretty special — waterfront living without the multi-million-dollar price tag you might expect.

The property sits above Dolphin Beach with ocean frontage, a private path to the beach, extensive decking and a flexible layout with multiple living spaces.

This condo caught my attention because it offers incredible value for someone looking to downsize, retire, invest, or get into the market.

Sometimes the best opportunities aren't the most expensive ones...
