Location is great, walkable to beach and ocean view from master bedroom. It’s super clean and has everything we need. I will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
One the nicest, cleanest, most thought out units we have ever rented. Everything one needs was made available. Close to the beach, shirt walk to the pool. Definitely will be stayed ng again in the near future.
The place was absolutely beautiful and we really noticed all the little extra touches. Everything you need for your stay away from home!

We are happy you enjoyed your stay. We do provide a wagon and everything you need for a day at beach but understand with little ones it can be a challenge. Check out is 10 am we had another guest arriving that afternoon at 4 so cleaning needs to be done in a timely manner. The cleaner does arrive by 10am to ensure our cleaning standards are met for our valued guests stay. Thank you for your review.
Kind regards,
JoAnne

This property was perfect for us. Very quiet with a very comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. We didn't use the community pool and hot-tub only because we were too busy walking the beach everyday and exploring the island. We would definitely stay here again.

Good house, and everything was comfortable, I hope the construction will finished soon, and everything will be perfect.
Very well appointed, supplies meet all of our needs. All four of us would there again with out question. Thank you very much for providing us with an awesome experience.
Brand new condo that is furnished with everything you need for a vacation getaway, including board games and puzzles. The townhome is immaculate and perfectly organized with detailed instructions. Wonderful.
My sisters and I took my mom to the island for her 70th. This condo was the perfect location for us to explore Rathtrevor, Qualicum, Coombs…it was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed (stocked kitchen with dishes etc) and allowed us to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The beds were super comfortable and there were more than enough linens. The beach chairs, toys and wagon are a great touch!!
Beautiful new condo, very well set up with everything we needed. We appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the host, and the attention to detail. I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful property! Hosts thought of everything, kitchen well stocked with appliances etc. A very comfortable bed and bedding. Great location, property is as described in listing. Good access to hot tub and outside fireplace at main lodge, staff there polite and helpful. Overall a great stay! We will be back! Thank you to our hosts 😊
Beautiful, quiet, very clean, tidy and well stocked.
Owner had very good communication.
New surrounding construction blocking what would have been the original view was unfortunate and main entrance was not well marked.
We eventually did find our way without having to contact owner.
The check-in and check-out was very easy.
We didn't make our way to the community pool but it seemed very popular.
We had a very lovely stay and the location is great for access to the surrounding landmarks and everything we needed.
Thank so much.
My sister and I recently had a wonderful stay at your condo. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, everything you could ever need was there. The kitchen is wonderful even though we treated ourselves and ate out for the most part. I did have my morning cup of tea before starting my day, I bought milk but didn't think to see if you had sugar just assumed there would be something, and no there is not. So be prepared if you need a little sweetening like me, bring it along! There was construction going on across the way, but it goes on mostly during the hours we were out exploring or on the beach, they were very good about shutting it down by 4:30, and not starting up till 8am.
Lovely place would recommend

I feel a sense of calm near the ocean and enjoy peaceful walks through the sand looking at tide pools and exploring. My favourite place is Rathtrevor beach to see Sand Dollar. Parksville is a special place to enjoy all the above.
