Forest Oasis
The quiet townhouse nestled among the trees, a short walk to the amazing Rathtrevor Beach, equals a perfect holiday. The home has a full compliment kitchen with an icemaker! A lovely gas fireplace and very comfortable beds, even bikes to explore a little further if you felt so inclined. Thank you for sharing your island home with us.

Everything we hoped for
Joanne's place was perfect. It is a beautiful property, close to the beach, with everything you could need, spices in the kitchen, toys and coloring things for the kids. We used the wagon and sand toys every time we went to the beach!
We would stay again and highly recommend it.

Wonderful Parksville Stay
We (family of four from the UK) enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in Joanne and Doug’s beautiful rental in the private Tanglewood resort in Parksville.
All communications were excellent, and if anything, the actual property (location, furnishings, kitchen and bathroom supplements, beach equipment) is even better than suggested by the description and pictures.
In addition to enjoying the property itself and Rathtrevor Beach, we enjoyed sea kayaking and whale watching on the Georgia Strait. Very easy to access from Nanaimo.
Would highly recommend.

Beautiful beach house
Joanne and Doug's beach house is a beautiful place to stay. It accommodated all six of us comfortably; it was beautifully clean and a very restful place to be; and the back patio was the perfect place to enjoy some peace and a good book! We loved it there.
Thank you Joanne and Doug for a lovely holiday!
