Cool lower level unit in a peaceful setting just a short walk from the beach. Has a nice little lawn for the kids to play in. We had a great time using this as our home base with two young kids. Carol was very kind and helpful as a host. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

This property is amazing! So clean, extremely quiet. The decor is beautiful and the beds and bedding are so comfortable. They have every appliance, pots and pans to cook whatever is you like. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The green space out front is a nice touch, with added bunnies that come to say hello, our kids loved that. We even had an owl pay us a visit right outside the front window.

Perfect Family Vacation

We stayed at Carol's vacation rental in June 2025. The location was amazing with great access to the beach and driving distance to loads of child friendly activities. Carol was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for our two children. The place was fantastic and has everything you'd want to cook! Thanks again Carol!

Was as advertised, beautifully appointed luxury condo!

Condo was immaculate and wonderfully located at one of our favourite spots on Vancouver Island. Wonderful walks, great weather, outstanding pubs, restaurants and bistros. Great shopping close by and a kitchen that was fully equipped and great appliances for home cooking and or barbecuing on scenic patio! We all felt very lucky to have found such a treasure and look forward to returning.

It feels like home

We felt right at home - everything was there for our use. The ocean was amazing and one of our favioret spots. People were friendly and loved all the dogs, bunny rabbits and the deers. On our last night a momma deer and her two fonds game to visit. We hope to come again but stay longer. We would highly recommend this place.

Perfect family vacation

This vacation home was perfect for our family vacation. The apartment is one of the best equipped vacation homes we stayed at, with high end amenities, an impressive selection of spices and kitchen utensils, and much more. It was spot clean and the decor was beautiful. The location is very convenient, only steps away from Rathtrevor Beach. Beach chairs, a wagon, sand toys, and much more are provided by the hosts and made the beach stay even more fun. Carol was a wonderful host and we would definitely stay at her vacation home again.

Exceptional accommodation, Exceptional host.

This unit was more than we could have hoped for. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms for five adults and a toddler made our stay very comfortable. The kitchen was amazing, and the best stocked of any vacation rental we have ever had. The beds were very comfortable, and the walk-out patio, complete with patio furniture, large gas BBQ, and grassy area were much appreciated and well used by us. There is a storage bin with a collapsible wagon, beach chairs, children’s beach toys, and each bedroom was stocked with a couple of beach towels as well. Carol is a gracious host. She contacted me by phone a couple of days after I booked her vacation rental to find out what our needs were and to provide detailed information about what the condo had to offer. She also communicated with me several times after, either by phone or through the VRBO messaging. The day we arrived, I received a text from her asking if we had everything we needed. This is a wonderful place to stay, and just a short walk to the vast beach. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Carol. We had a wonderful time with our family at your beautiful place.

We had a wonderful time staying at Carol and Terry’s place. The rooms were very comfortable and the unit fit our party of six (three generations) perfectly.

Beach Fun

Close walking access to the beach. Lots of local hiking in the area. Property clean and well equipped! Disappointed that there is not actual pool or hot tub access as indicated in the listing. There is an option at a neighboring resort complex but you must pay a drop in fee. I would suggest the listing be updated to reflect this in order to limit disappointment for families.

We stayed in this modern clean retreat home that was very spacious for six adults and one child. Very well equipped with plenty of everything.

What a beautiful place to stay! The property is modern, clean, well-stocked and feels luxurious. The location is fabulous - we appreciated the proximity of the forest that borders the property. Although the beach was close, to our surprise the grassy area right out back was a huge hit with our kids - a real bonus for families. We would certainly recommend this place to others and would definitely return.

I would give 11 out of 10 for our experience. The place was well equipped and we can tell that the host put a lot of thoughts to give the guests their best experience. We have stayed in a number of vacation homes in Parksville and this stands out to be the best. Location is within few minutes walk to the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Yakiwchuk

Host profile image
We (Terry and Carol) are a fun-loving couple with a thirst for appreciatively living each day to the fullest. When we're not on the West Coast, we're busy creating wonderful memories with our children and grandchildren and connecting with family and friends. We love the great outdoors and especially enjoy fishing, hiking, and travel. Terry has a gift for building and creating organized spaces for people; Carol has a real passion and commitment to working toward health equity for vulnerable populations, volunteering with key organizations such as Special Olympics where she serves as a clinical director and regional advisor, and the Canadian Society for Disability and Oral Health, serving as a director.

Why they chose this property

We love being at the ocean ~ there's something about being near the water that really nourishes our souls! It gives us such a sense of peace and connection with the natural world, and is just so restful and restorative for us. Purchasing this property and creating a unique, relaxing, and luxurious home away from home for us and our guests has been such a pleasure and a real dream come true. There's just no place like it for a tranquil get-away for us ~ we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Island life is such a refreshing change from the busyness of urban life and traffic! Flourishing with greenery and amazing ocean and forest experiences, the area can be as tranquil or as busy as you want it to be. There's numerous little towns to explore, great restaurants, and very interesting tourist attractions to experience. We think its the perfect place to enjoy whale watching, salmon fishing, and beach-combing. Cathedral Grove, a short drive away, is a jewel beyond compare with its walking trails through a forest of huge old growth Douglas Fir and Cedar. There's also a wealth of very gifted artists on the Island, such as Red Cod Forge, Affinity Jewelry, and interesting museums like the Old School House in Qualicum Beach to visit. Seafood - fresh and so delicious at so many locations!
