Awesome place to stay!

Dear Dorothy, Thanking you for a wonderful stay at your cottage which was well appointed and comfortable with all the amenities one would need. It was also very nice to be able to have our dogs stay with us. The location was perfect for sightseeing as well as many trails for walking our dogs.Thank you again for letting us stay at your home.

Even better than expected

This property was perfect and exceeded our expectations. We’ve stayed at Oceanside before so had an idea of what to expect, but this cottage was the best we’ve stayed in. It was large, lovely, clean, had all the amenities you’d hope for (and more!) in a home-away-from-home vacation. Dorothy communicated very well and made sure we had everything we needed to make the stay perfect. I can’t say enough about this cottage and its hosts- what a pleasure. (And the thoughtful bottle of wine on arrival was the cherry on top!) Thank you Dorothy!

Home away from home

We loved staying at this cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4 and small dog. Great layout, pantry cupboard is a nice feature in the kitchen as it was easy to keep all our food in one place (compared to many other cabins we’ve stayed at), well stocked kitchen with a good variety of appliances and plenty of dishes and cutlery, multiple televisions, air conditioning for hot days, and a shady backyard patio with swing chair and other furniture, what’s not to love? Washer and dryer and lots of storage space for clothes (drawers and closet space) made it easy to keep the cabin clean and organized during our stay. Access to great walking trails, including to Rathtrevor Beach (which we did almost daily) as well as Top Bridge Regional Park. Lovely local hand soap in the bathrooms and a bottle of wine upon arrival were also nice welcoming touches. We hope to get back again soon.

Wonderful stay!

The owner was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with and the property was just as described. The kitchen had everything we needed (the Kureg was a lovely surprise) and the place was spotless when we arrived. The cottage is nicely decorated and had ample space for all of us. The kids (6 and 9) loved having the loft as their personal space with their own bar fridge! The back patio is fantastic for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or a nice glass of wine with the dinner cooked on the massive BBQ! The property is close to everything - 7.5 minute walk to the beach by Tigh Na Mara or a 4 minute drive to Rathtrevor Park (by the camp grounds). Rotary Park is only a short drive into town - great park for the kids. The pool and hot tub were perfect for a pre-dinner swim. It is a heated pool, but I would describe it as 'refreshing'. The kids had no problem with it, just us old folks found it a little cool! We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone heading to Parksville.

Cottage was clean, with lots of everyday needs available. It was spacious and has a great layout. If there is something that’s not there downtown is close by. Also it’s in a great location to access beaches, and a short distance to Departure Bay ferry terminal. It’s in a quiet setting with green belts between complexes so it’s quiet and serene. Good deal for the price. Will like to come back.

Relaxing!

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage, had everything we needed with the beach was a short walk away. The upstairs loft space came in handy as it had a great big TV up and away from the bedrooms downstairs. Perfect for watching movies after our young son had gone to bed. Highly recommend for a nice relaxing family summer vacation!

Everything was excellent. Fast replies from the host, clean and comfortable accommodation and very well stocked (including a very thoughtful bottle of BC wine). As with all the other reviews we would certainly recommend this cottage. It was located in a very well kept resort community close to everything.

Amazing Stay!

This place was an amazing place to stay for our family and dog. We rented this home because of it’s close proximity to Tigh-Na-Mara as we were attending a wedding at the resort. It was about a 5 minute walk to the main resort and 10ish minutes to the beach. The home was clean, well maintained, decorated nicely and just what our small family needed. It had everything we needed to be able to cook our meals, down to blankets to snuggle up with on the couch. We would gladly rent this home again on our next trip!

Great Location and Stay

Nice quiet location. Location was great for all of our day trips. Place was clean and spotless. All appliances worked well. Huge modern washer and dryer. We did not need to use the AC while we were there. Only recommendation would be to add more lighting. It was pretty dark at night in the bedrooms, bathroom and living room. Kitchen lighting was OK.
