About this property

Fully-equipped near Rathtrevor Beach!

Escape to Parksville for a relaxing winter stay at The Safe Harbour, a bright and comfortable three-bedroom cottage at Oceanside Village Resort, just a 10–15 minute walk from beautiful Rathtrevor Provincial Park and its beaches.



Here, winter days can be as active or as restful as you like. Take a peaceful walk through the forest to Rathtrevor Beach, explore Parksville and the surrounding Vancouver Island communities, or simply enjoy a slower day close to home. Afterward, warm up with a swim or soak in the resort’s year-round shared indoor pool and hot tub.



Back at the cottage, curl up by the fireplace in the spacious open-plan living area, enjoy your favourite shows on the Smart TV with cable, or settle in for a board game together. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home, while the outdoor deck and BBQ are available when you feel like cooking outside.



With room for up to six guests, The Safe Harbour offers three comfortable bedrooms with one king bed, one queen bed, and two twin beds, along with two full bathrooms, in-suite washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, and the everyday essentials for a comfortable stay. The extra space and home-like conveniences make it equally welcoming for a weekend escape or a longer winter stay.



You’ll be close to local restaurants, shopping, spas, nature trails, and some of Parksville’s best-loved attractions, while still having a comfortable cottage to return to at the end of the day.



Whether you’re planning a peaceful coastal getaway, visiting family, or settling in for an extended stay, The Safe Harbour offers an easy and comfortable way to experience Vancouver Island’s quieter season.

We had a wonderful stay at Safe Harbour! Judy was an amazing host from start to finish. It was a perfect cottage that had everything that we needed. The teens all had their own bed and we were able to bring our dogs which is a HUGE bonus.

Great family getaway

This cottage was terrific. Clean, spacious and generously equipped with staples like towels, shampoo, coffee, etc. Two full bathrooms is a definite bonus when traveling with teens. Only a 20min walk to Rathtrevor Beach. Would absolutely book again!

The host was amazing to work with and responded quickly to our questions. The cabin was nicely decorated and comfortably furnished, the A/C kept it cool, and the kitchen was well stocked. The cabin is nicely located on the resort and we swam, used the hot tub and visited the miniature golf and enjoyed the beach. Check out was not tedious and again the host was very pleasant. We would highly recommend this rental!

Quiet air-conditioned oasis, close to the beach.

Three generations of our family had a delightful week's summer getaway at this peaceful cottage. The modern kitchen and barbecue on a private deck made meal preparation a breeze. We would love to come back next summer.

Delightful house in great location

We loved our stay at Safe Harbour! The house was comfortable, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was well-stocked. The location is fantastic, in a cute resort area with easy highway access. My family enjoyed being able to walk to a mini golf course! Judy was so helpful and easy to communicate with. I’ve wish we could have stayed longer!

Safe Harbour

Lovely cabin, Judy has every box checked and everything one need is at your fingertips. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with coffee, tea, cream, milk, and sugar, cooking oil, salt, and pepper. There was even some welcoming goodies!! There is a wonderful assortment of pots, frying pans, casserole dishes, cookie sheets and cake pans. The washrooms are also well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper and plenty of towels. There is even laundry soap and dryer sheets, and a folding wagon to trundle your goodies about. There are several lovely walking paths and Rath Trevor is only a short walk away. Although we didn’t have any children with us I think this would be an excellent place to bring children. I appreciate that our dogs were welcome to be with us, it makes traveling much easier to bring them. Judy is an excellent, and very kind host, she makes everything extremely accessible and is always very warm, welcoming, and very prompt to address any concerns one may have. Don’t hesitate to book this gem I know Judy will take superior care of you!
