#17 Tanglewood Pl - 2bd 2bth BEACH FRONT 2-level unit - Beach, sun, sand & relax

Amazing Beach Front - Oceanview townhome style condo at Tanglewood resort in Parksville, British Columbia, located immediately beside the beach access to Rathtrevor Beach. Just steps away from unfettered beach access, sun and sand. Great for easy access and so close there is no need to pack for a day at the beach when 30 steps has you back at home.

Our 1255 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus single mattress fold outs for extra sleepers, condo on the second floor (top floor) enjoys an open floor plan, cathedral ceilings and two private decks (one on the roof) that provides gorgeous ocean and beach views and provides privacy and quiet. Comfortable patio furniture and a stainless BBQ are there for your enjoyment. A king size bed in the ‘master’ suite with en-suite bathroom plus a queen size bed in the adjacent bedroom provides lots of space and privacy. Great for couples and families.

The unit features a large kitchen with all the amenities of home, full size washer and dryer, and complete linen sets and beach towels available for your use. There is also a large secure storage area for bikes, beach toys, skim and paddle boards and whatever else you want out of sight.

This unit provides commanding ocean views and is adjacent to the Rathtrevor Provincial Park. Not only do you have the ocean views, but this unit is quiet and peaceful year round. Sit and watch the bald eagles soar or the deer pecking for food in the park. Steps away from one of the most scenic walking/running/biking trails on Vancouver Island that winds its way through Rathtrevor Park while contouring to the ocean.

Come, unwind and relax at one of the finest locations on Vancouver Island. Enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings and the amenities of home. 5 min drive to grocery stores and further amenities in Parksville. Enjoy a meal at the Black Goose Inn just a 10 min walk away or take a trip into town to micro-brew Mount Arrowsmith for a beverage and some food. Want goats on the roof? Coombs Market is an easy 15 drive away. Hike in the woods with waterfalls more your speed? Got that too; visit Englishman River Falls for a gentle 45 min hike with spectacular views and scenery. Cathedral Grove Forest is a 30 min drive and showcases some of North America’s biggest and best old-growth forest. Enjoy a walk through these massive trees.

A private beach fire-pit sets the evening mood. Watch the tide roll in and the sun set majestically over the ocean and distant snow capped mountains as you relax in the sounds of nature.

Come and enjoy all that #17 Tanglewood Place in Parksville has to offer.

Another great stay
This is our favorite accommodation when we visit Parksville. It is very quiet and we love having direct access to the walking trail in Rathtrevor Park. As four adults (two couples) traveling together, we also appreciate that both bedrooms are furnished with a large bed, making it a comfortable stay for all of us. The host is easy to reach and responds quickly to all enquiries.

Beautiful spot
We had a very nice stay. The location is so awesome. So easy to just walk back and forth to the beach. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We have three young kids so the fold out mattresses in the second room got good use. Would definitely return.

This is a wonderful property. The sandy beach is right out front, and at low tide you can walk for miles. The unit is well equipped with everything you need to prevent meals. The only downside to this property is that there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance.

The best weekend
We stayed at this condo for the May long weekend and it was 100% perfect. The condo was fantastically equipped, with every appliance and item we might need and was fastidiously clean. Everything was as described, better than actually! And the location on the beach (a short stroll down the path) was perfect for us and our kids. We cannot recommend staying here enough and will be booking again for sure. Thank you!

Amazing views
The highlight of this property is its location. Being able to wake up to water views like that was fantastic. The kitchen was great and wonderfully supplied. Perfect amount of space for two couples having a weekend getaway. I did find it slightly odd that we had to start the bedding laundry when we left. I have never had to do that at a VRBO. Andrew was very responsive when I had questions.

Comments re 17 Tanglewood, Parksville, B.C.
The location was excellent. As to cleanliness I would deduct marks for the stairs to the bedrooms not being vacuumed. Also the barbecue was moldy and very dirty; i.e. has not been cleaned after many uses. Also the fabric seats on the dining area chairs were dirty and should be replaced. All of that said we would probably book agsin in the future.

A peaceful retreat with beautiful views
It was such a pleasure staying in this inviting, spacious and very quiet condo! It offers a practical layout for a group of four adults, and it is comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well equipped, making it possible to prepare the fresh fish you can buy at French Creek Marina. The location (right next to Rathtrevor Park) is perfect for enjoying long walks along the beach and there are beautiful views of the ocean and beach from the windows in the living area. The owner responded promptly to all enquiries and was easy and friendly to deal with. This is a wonderful vacation rental and we will definitely be back!

Outstanding Location
This property has outstanding views and is right on the ocean and next to the park. Long walks at low tide or through the park were fantastic. As for the actual unit, the kitchen was well appointed and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. As others have noted, the couches should be replaced (very dirty) and the upholstery on the dining chairs was badly stained and deteriorating. The carpets are also in need of deep cleaning. There were a lot of signs that the townhouse has not been receiving regular maintenance. The owner did respond quickly when I reported the broken table umbrella and the broken chairs on the patio (they had been noted in a review from March but still there when I arrived in May). With some attention to maintenance and cleaning, this unit could be outstanding. I did enjoy my stay but, as is, I would not stay again. You can’t live in a view.
