We loved our time in Parksville. The views from this property were perfect. We loved walking along Rathtrevor beach and exploring during low tide. Beautiful place to spend our spring break!
The location is amazing and the accommodation is expansive with an incredible view.The downside is that it is a little worn, the washrooms need updating (some tiles in tub should be replaced as well as fixtures in sink. The carpet need to be replaced as badly stained. Also the large blind in the large front window was stuck open so had to put a blanket up on it each night (I did contact the owner regarding this was told that should work but would have some look at it, I did say we could live with it but it would have been nice it is was repaired in the 7 days we were there.
This was our second stay at this condo. It’s clean, comfortable and very quiet. It’s also in a perfect location if you like walking. And if it’s raining, you can just stay home and enjoy the view!
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.
This well appointed condo made our stay perfect!
As advertised, the location is on the beach, it couldn’t have been better. Instructions for entry, and other info about the property was well communicated. Very excited about returning again.
A wonderful unit in the quiet of Parksville right next to the park and Rathtrevor beach. Great communication and a spotless unit made this a completely stress free experience. Highly recommended!
This was our 4th year staying at this property and we all look forward to our get away every year....its a few steps to the beach and every morning we have a coffee on our favoriye log and take in the quiet morning. We love it and have created wonderful family memories......

This unit is a wonderful place that has a view of the ocean. It was clean, and very well stocked, more than any other place we have stayed at. The host provided great directions and information about the unit. Would go back in a heartbeat.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Nice place to hangout during massive downpours from an atmospheric river …. Nice and cozy and lots to do in the area on wet days. Would be good to have more details about the coffeemaker and recycling.
