We stayed here with our two young kids for a family vacation and it was the perfect spot! My husband and I loved drinking our morning coffee on the balcony looking at the water each morning. The hosts really thought of everything from toy blocks for my 4 year old to bag chairs and beach toys we didn’t even think to bring for our use while we stayed. 5 stars all around!

Beautiful condo in fun location

My family of five spent a wonderful week at the Foxglove -- the location was perfect for hiking and beachcombing, and we all enjoyed the resort amenities at home. The condo was a perfect home base for fun on Vancouver Island and we were all sad to leave.

Excellent place for family!

Kim has created a comfortable and relaxing place surrounded by beauty and excellent amenities. With a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 1 years old, we really enjoyed the pools, playground, and beach. Her extra touches of leaving toys out for the kids, and great beach supplies made packing much easier.

Fantastic stay Nanoose Bay

We had an amazing time on our trip to Nanoose! The property was absolutely spotless, well appointed and surrounded with amenities. The beds were all comfortable and we had absolutely everything we needed. The pools and beach kept us all happy and the quick drive to Parksville gave us even more options of things to do. The on-site restaurant was super tasty and full of locally sourced options. Highly recommend this property - we will definitely be back!

Perfect family vacation

I can’t say enough good things about our stay! The place was spotless, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you need. The location is spectacular, and was great with a little one for walks around the grounds and swimming. Easy parking and access to the unit. Everything you need is close by (grocery, etc). Communication with the host was excellent, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Would come back in a heart beat!

Great central location for exploring other parts of the island and still being near a ferry to the mainland. Unit is spacious, clean and well stocked with everything you need. Host is great with communication. Complex has good amenities with pool, hot tubs, sauna. There is even a restaurant on premises. One note, some amenities like kayaks and standup paddle boards are limited use parts of the year due to tide schedules.

This is an incredible accommodation located on a beautiful property with many amenities for all ages, and just minutes away from downtown Parksville. There are many thoughtful touches and supplies in the unit and the fantastic layout provides both open spaces to spend time together and quiet spaces for time on your own. Highlights include very comfortable beds, air conditioning, well stocked kitchen, views of the river/ocean/sunset from the main deck and easy access to the beach and all areas of the resort.
