6 people stayed comfortably

Great location, quiet and relaxing stay!!! We cooked meals and had an amazing stay. We used both outdoor patios, depending on where the sun was, and appreciated the ability to have coffee in the morning outdoors. The upstairs pull-out sofa may be better suited to kids (my adult kid found it to be less comfortable than the beds). In general, a wonderful cabin - would stay again!!!

A great cabin!

This cozy cabin was perfect for our family vacation. It comfortably slept all 5 of us and was well appointed with all of the amenities we needed. Well maintained and cared for. We spent as much time outside the cabin on the semi private deck as we did inside. Highly recommended for families who want to get-away but stay in comfort.

Charming & well-equipped

We loved our stay at this well-equipped cottage. There are two decks with comfy chairs, so lots of room to move back and forth to enjoy (or avoid) the sun. It's just a short drive to the famous Parksville beaches. Everything from kitchen tools to beach towels is included.

Had a terrific time!

Overall the place was great and we had an amazing time. The place is very clean, well equipped, and exactly as advertised. The little community of houses is very cute and there were a lot of friendly families around. The proximity to the mini golf was a favorite for our kids. The only call out I will make is that I believe it says an 8 minute walk to the beach but closest public beach (Rathtrevor Beach) is probably a 20+ minute walk for adults. It was recommended to us strongly that with kids you should drive there.

Island Get Away

We enjoyed our stay, very enjoyable. Everything we needed was there. The internet was a bit of an issue. Beach access was not the greatest a bit of walk for sure when you have all your beach essentials, especially when the weather is hot. The only suggestion I will make is that there be a night table and lamp of some kind on each side of the beds for, water, reading, etc. We would definitely make a return visit.
