Great Cottage!

We rented this cottage for a long weekend with another family (4 adults and 2 baby/toddlers in total), and it was really lovely! The kitchen is well stocked, the layout of the rooms was great, the backyard was really lovely.

Great location, quiet and relaxing stay!!! We cooked meals and had an amazing stay. We used both outdoor patios, depending on where the sun was, and appreciated the ability to have coffee in the morning outdoors. The upstairs pull-out sofa may be better suited to kids (my adult kid found it to be less comfortable than the beds). In general, a wonderful cabin - would stay again!!!

A great cabin!

This cozy cabin was perfect for our family vacation. It comfortably slept all 5 of us and was well appointed with all of the amenities we needed. Well maintained and cared for. We spent as much time outside the cabin on the semi private deck as we did inside. Highly recommended for families who want to get-away but stay in comfort.

Charming & well-equipped

We loved our stay at this well-equipped cottage. There are two decks with comfy chairs, so lots of room to move back and forth to enjoy (or avoid) the sun. It's just a short drive to the famous Parksville beaches. Everything from kitchen tools to beach towels is included.

Had a terrific time!

Overall the place was great and we had an amazing time. The place is very clean, well equipped, and exactly as advertised. The little community of houses is very cute and there were a lot of friendly families around. The proximity to the mini golf was a favorite for our kids. The only call out I will make is that I believe it says an 8 minute walk to the beach but closest public beach (Rathtrevor Beach) is probably a 20+ minute walk for adults. It was recommended to us strongly that with kids you should drive there.

Had everything we didn’t even know we needed!

Loved our stay, our kids LOVED IT! The pool was a big hit, location to our friends at Rathrevor Beach was perfect. We forgot our shampoo and conditioner and low and behold…there was some at the cottage! We will definitely stay again, even in the off season because we can imagine just hanging out in the lovely space! The hedges around the front deck added just the right amount of privacy for some evening drinks, stargazing and tunes for the parents, while the kids just swam at the pool or lounged in their rooms! Thank you.
