We loved our stay here. Clean, well appointed room, with large open spaces. The room opens up right to the water where we could explore the ocean front and go paddle boarding. The owner is easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Amazing place in an amazing location

One of the best locations in the entire complex. Steps to the beach, playground, kid pool, indoor pool, and restaurant. All of the amenities you could ask for. Communication from the owner was great. We can't wait for a return trip.

We went to Pacific Shore Resort in May of 2026 being familiar with the resort itself and knew what to expect as far as resort amenities, however we were really impressed with this beautiful unit. It is far bigger than we expected and it was fully equipped with high end mattresses, appliances etc. We were three adults traveling and my brother had the separate bedroom. As advertised, it was equipped with its own full size fridge, very nice patio area, t.v., sofa and bathroom (with washer and dryer). The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, fridge with ice maker, spices, oils etc.. The view was spectacular and we awoke most mornings to the sounds of sea lions barking and eagles calling. We had the pleasure of spotting dolphins and orcas at the outer perimeter of the bay (worth taking binoculars). Morning coffee taken down to the seaside decks was wonderful. Beds and pillows were comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great accommodation that contributed to a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful Location

This was an amazingly relaxing vacation. The resort is charming and very well kept. Absolutely no complaints about our unit whatsoever. And the view……well hey it’s the West Coast therefore stunningly beautiful! Big thanks to Donald as he has been more than helpful throughout the process. Definitely recommend to friends.

Beautiful large Condo in a gorgeous location. Couldn’t ask for more. Fully equipped and well maintained. Lovely walking paths and view areas to the ocean. The Condo itself is steps from the beach and has wonderful views. You have full use of the resort amenities. The on-site restaurant is really good. The Condo owner is very pleasant and easy to reach. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay.

August 2024

My parents, partner, daughter and myself very much enjoyed our stay at Donald’s place. The listing pictures don’t adequately capture how spacious and bright Donald’s place is! The beds in both rooms are very comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised to find the queen in the second bedroom had been upgraded to a king— a definite plus. My 6.5 year old loved the indoor and outdoor pools and we all enjoyed the easy access to the beach and being able to walk just across the lawn to borrow paddle boards/kayaks. There was some noise from the unit above — footsteps and occasionally music — but the noise wasn’t disruptive to sleep.

Beautiful views and great location!

Thank you Donald for letting us stay at your beautiful condo. We really enjoy this location the beach the pools (heated pools) was fantastic. We travelled with two families and with four kids ages 4 to 9, kids enjoyed the beach at low tide looking for crabs and sea creatures and then they enjoyed the swimming pools. The condo was great, kitchen was fully stocked and the place was cleaned, just remember to bring shampoo and soap for your own use but we just bought some at a near by grocery which was great! Communication with the owner (Donald) was easy and fast in responding, check-in was smooth and parking was close by, we just parked by condo to offload/load and then park the car after. We wouldn't hesitate coming back at a different time with better weather (raining when we got there) to enjoy the beach more because with the amenities that it comes with it sounds like it would be an even cooler vacation! Thank you Donald for everything.

Wonderful stay with family on Craig Bay (Parksville)

From the time of booking our stay I always wondered if the amazing photos would match what we found when we arrived. I'm happy to say the photos were completely accurate. The suite itself was very nice, spacious, and seemed to have everything we needed for our family (grandparents, parents, and children) during a 5 night stay. The location was perfect! Our kids could walk out the front and play on the grass. Unlike other places we have stayed in Parksville where we have had to hike down to the ocean, the water was mere steps away. Sunsets are gorgeous! Although we used some of the amenities (fitness facility, playground, kiddie pool), there is so much more we could have done but simply ran out of time. Dealing with the owner - Donald - was very easy. He was always prompt in responding to my emails, as well as guiding us through the check in process. When he did come round the property I found him to be nice, friendly, and respectful; it was a pleasure dealing with him as he makes the process so easy. Big shout out also to the cleaning lady - the place was impeccably maintained! Overall, I can say that we were extremely pleased with this place in terms of people, location, and suite itself. The most difficult part was turning in the key, but we do hope to return soon.

This condo is beautiful. It is fully stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils. We stayed a week with our daughter and granddaughter. Don the host was very hospitable and easy to reach. Check in and check out was a breeze. Definitely would recommend for a family vacation in a beautiful setting with the ocean at your feet. We would come back here anytime of year. Thank you, Don for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Beautiful stay at Pacific Shores

We recently stayed for 2 weeks at this property. Donald, the owner, was excellent to deal with. He was very prompt in all his replies to our questions and provided great information about the unit, the area, etc. Donald has just completed a major renovation of the unit and, once all of the construction is completed the unit will be stunning. We cannot say enough good things about the location though. Oceanside, with great walking out the front door. We were a few minutes from Parksville with great access to the cross island highway network. We would stay here again.
