About this property

Our waterfront home has 180 degree views from both floors. Our lower deck and stairs gets you to the water. Parksville Bay has a large tidal flat and the view is always changing. We have an eagle tree in front; watch the eagles fishing. The house was fully renovated and has a fresh modern layout and decor. We are only minutes into the city center where you can find all the amenities you need. Parksville is only 30 minutes north of Nanaimo.

The house is spacious, modern and comfortable. The living room and main kitchen is on the second floor which makes for amazing views. A large covered deck off the kitchen makes of great outdoor eating rain or shine. A second deck 1/2 down the bank provides a great place for solitude and wildlife watching. Our family room has a small kitchenette with microwave, sink, bar fridge and breakfast bar. There is an outdoor hot tub that seats 6 adults and 2 bbqs.

Parksville has world class beaches. The City of Parksville describes our beaches as follows ....
There’s a reason Parksville is known as Canada’s Riviera. Few beaches outside Mexico and the Caribbean compare with our kilometres of near perfect sandy beaches at Parksville Bay and Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. With long sunny days, water temperatures may be as high as 20°C in the shallows and the flat beaches are safe for everyone in the family, even at high tide.

Beach access points are provided for the benefit of residents and the City’s many visitors. The most prominent is from the Community Park, a beachfront park of 15.7 hectares (39 acres). Other official access points are located at the ends of Doehle Street (Note: this is the access point 2 blocks from our home), Sutherland Crescent, McMillan Street and Rushton Avenue (Note: Rushton Avenue access is one lot from our house).

2 night minimum stay in offseason and 4 night min June/July and August.

Our calendar is up-to-date. Please do not contact us about dates that are not currently listed as available in the calendar. Thank you.

Girls Trip

Property was excellent for our needs. Communication with owner was great. Everything was as described in listing. Pricing was fair. Kitchen was perfect for our meals we had at the house. Loved the location on the island for our second half of our trip to VI. View off the top covered deck was spectacular.

Parksville stay

This is a really lovely home which was perfect for our party of 10 guests. The teenagers particularly enjoyed the games room downstairs, whilst the adults enjoyed relaxing on the lovely balcony. Fabulous big kitchen. House was really well equipped and a short 1 mile walk from the beach. Thanks for a great stay.

Amazing location and spacious home

Our group of 8 had a comfortable and relaxing stay. The home and yard offered a wide variety of spaces to share while also ensuring that everyone could enjoy some solitude. The view is amazing and the home design maximizes your ability to enjoy it. Nicole was a great host:)

Would book again!

There was a small hiccup when we arrived but it was addressed and taken care of by the owners promptly. Great property with great views. One of the most comfortable master beds we have ever had on vacation. We enjoyed our short stay and would book again in the future.

So lovely

We had a wonderful family time here and could hardly tear ourselves away from the stunning view to go out to explore. The kitchen is really well equipped and beds were very comfortable. Lots of indoor sitting areas give you a feeling if space if you need it, and a great outdoor deck, off the kitchen and living room. We did watch the small children very carefully while out in the yard due to the cliff top location. Excellent location for groups.
