They were welcoming, however in terms of amenities there was no toilet paper when we arrived. Other than that, the place was nice. We enjoyed our time there, the resort is beautiful and great resources, the pool, the sauna, etc.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, and we were able to accommodate early check in on a next day booking, as we had guests checking out that same day! Sorry our cleaner missed putting extra rolls under the sink, but as soon as you messaged me she brought 2 extra rolls to your door within 20mins.

Nice unit, good location, hosts were helpful. We stayed 5 nights- first night the neighbours were very loud and we could hear a lot of noise through the adjoining door to the suite. There is no a/c so we needed to keep the balcony door open and fans on to be comfortable. As we stayed a week, we did try to prepare a few meals in the unit- microwave and small fridge with freezer was helpful. Would have appreciated a few more microwave safe dishes as there were thin plastic plates that couldn’t be heated and we had to use a bowl to heat things separately. Enjoyed walking around the grounds and we were conveniently located close to Parksville and Nanaimo. Worked well for our purposes.

We enjoyed our stay at this quiet little resort surrounded by nature. We loved the spacious resort grounds, the private beach, indoor pool and sauna, and especially the pickle ball courts! We had a little issue at check in that was quickly and graciously fixed by the host. After that our entire stay was smooth sailing. We knew booking this that we would be limited in kitchen supplies in exchange for an affordable rate. I would have brought a few kitchen essentials like scissors, a cutting knife, dish sponge, etc. Overall, a great affordable stay just 10 minutes from Parksville.

The space was clean and had all the amenities we needed for our vacation to Parksville. It was a rather ‘snug’ fit for our family as the space is similar to a small studio condo. Nice and quiet building and a great sleep for us, though!Note that there isn’t a sink other than the bathroom sink, so no full kitchenette. Lots of fans (which was appreciated), but no AC in the unit.Pacific Shores is starting to show its age, but still a relaxing place to stay. Enjoy Parksville!

Glad you enjoyed your stay, and I updated listing details to remove kitchenette & just added details of what to expect for your stay (ie. dish bin for dishes)! Thanks for the feedback:)
