Very disappointing that the gas fireplace was out of service and I had requested a complete listing of everything provided in the kitchen but didn't receive one so I brought many items that it turned out were provided. Found it difficult to find the unit as you can't see the cabin numbers in the dark.

Property was the same as other places I’ve stayed in this complex. Only thing that would of been nice is to have proper cable and not Roko tv as no shows that we could watch.

Wonderful stay at Mermaid Cottage
We had a wonderful family vacation at the Mermaid Cottage. The space was well equipped with everything you need to enjoy a vacation in Parksville. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were thoughtful additions such as beach chairs and games. The bbq was excellent. The location was perfect. Our kids biked around the complex, enjoyed the ice cream at mini golf and loved the pool. It was so close to Rathtrevor and Coombes. Highly recommend. Great host!

Girl’s trip!
Overall was good. Other than a few things, was a great getaway! No A/C was a huge factor, considering that it was hot July weather. No supply of toilet paper, bought our own. 2 bathrooms, 4 days, 8 people, all women! (3 rolls supplied) Lots of dirt, beads, etc., and a bandaid under couch. Thank you Dhalia

Staying in the Mermaid Cottage
My wife and I (from Regina) winter in Parkskville every January & February for the past 6 years. We always stay at Oceanside Village Resort. We usually rent our cottage (which is the same as The Mermaid Cottage) from the resort when we do our snow birding. My wife had surgery in late December and we had to cancel our usual stay. We picked an open time in early April to early May that was open at the Mermaid Cottage. It is a wonderful unit. The loft, which is usually open in most Cypress units is enclosed. This was fantastic as our daughter was coming to visit us with her significant other (who is from Ottawa and a first time visitor to the island) and stayed in this bedroom giving them extra privacy. Our son had the front bedroom and we the master bedroom. We did not use the sofa, but it, too could be opened into a bed. I especially enjoyed the 2 reclining chairs with footrests. All of our family was impressed with this cottage. The access to the swimming pool, hot tub/sauna and small work out are is easy and very close. Some of my highlights were - all the kitchen utensils (dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, plates were like brand new. I was impressed that all the cutting knives in the cutting block were sharp. It is a new natural gas BBQ with a side burner (no propane bottle to worry about) and the gas was turned on already. The decor is very nice. We had a fantastic stay. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Dahlia.
