Lovely cottage and stay! Terrific communication and everything was exactly as pictured. Location of this cottage was within a short walk to Tigh Na Mara and the beach.
Our stay was pretty much everything that was promised. We enjoyed the facilities and the location. When we first arrived we found the place was missing a number of things in the kitchen one would need for a two month stay. But one phone call to our host Judy and all of our needs were met.

Thank you so much, Blaine! 😊 We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that we could help make your long-term visit more comfortable. We’d love to welcome you back again anytime! 💙
The check in was easy, the host was very attentive and was quick to reply to any queries. The location is very good and the swimming pool is excellent. There is good parking and a lovely little adventure golf course and arcade included.
This is a fabulous to stay with your family. Our kids loved the proximity to the pool and the short walk to the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here.
We loved the place. It was clean, comfortable and in great proximity to the pool/hot tub and mini golf/ice cream, and a nice walk to the most beautiful beach.
First time on the Island and this place was perfect, very quiet area and close to all you need. Judy was fantastic. We loved the stock of household supplies!
We had a wonderful time staying here on Parksville! Close to Rathtrevor beach, pool, hot tub, and miniature golf. The property was very clean and well stocked. Our host Judy was quick to respond and checked in to make sure we were having a good trip. Thanks Judy! Highly recommend!
The house was very nice and as clean as a new house. There was plenty of space in the house and it was supplied nicely. Judy was very friendly and helpful, she was also very quick to respond to email. Being right next to the pool was really convenient. I would highly recommend staying here
Beautiful cottage very close to a lovely beach walk. There is a market with goats on the roof that is a short drive, a must see with great prices! All 5 of us were perfectly comfortable, and the cottage has a great layout. Judy was an amazing host. One of my absolute favorite vrbos I have ever stayed in and very reasonably priced. We hope to be back and would definitely stay here again!
A lovely cottage, which was very nicely appointed, and very clean and cozy. Having channels available for the smaller family members was awesome. An adorable, cute and purposeful family cottage. Would absolutely return.

The :Driftwood: cottage we rented was perfect! So clean and well appointed. We were there to celebrate my husbands 75th birthday with our daughter, son in law and 3 year old granddaughter. The indoor pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the granddaughter! We played golf, went to the beach, bbq'd grwat food and relaxed well. Beds were very comfortable. Judy was wonderful t communicate with. Will reccomend to friends and family
We found that 2 of the appliances were not working. Had a repair person out right away. Good communication with Host. Great place.

House was well maintained very comfortable bed couldn’t ask for more

Host was there if we needed her but didn’t pester at all had everything ready for our arrival with no hiccups or problems
For overseas guest might be an option to give details on how we could do a shop delivery as we arrived late had no food but not an issue at all
Title says it all, this was a great place to stay. It came equiped with all the little things you don't realize you would otherwise be missing (like towels, well equiped kitchen, coffee pot, etc).
