Terrific stay!

My husband had a peaceful stay at this super clean and well equipped townhome. Tanglewood is a terrific resort to stay at, with easy access to the beach and Rathtrevor park. Owners were great to communicate with.

Perfect place to relax

Came to Parksville for a wedding, and this was the perfect place to relax between festivities. Kitchen was well supplied, with kettle Kurig and coffee machine for those large batches. Plenty of glasses mugs and plates. Master bedroom and bath were spacious & second bedroom a little smaller, but more than enough for 2 with suitcases. Didn't sit outside much because of rain, but a nice little patio with chairs as well.

Bookmarking this beautiful location!

Monica was a stellar host and amazing at communicating before and after our stay. She made sure we were situated and ensured we had everything we needed. The location of this property is great for families and the access to the private beach was a highlight! Definitely keeping this tagged in my favorites for when we come back to Parksville in the future!

Great for little kids

The cabin was as advertised and very clean. Super short walk to the beach with a wagon. The kids liked the yard. In the house you'll just be moving a couple of breakable items up high for under 3's and you're set. The host responds to messages within hours every time and has a good knowledge of local activities to try out. The bedrooms basically do not heat up at all, even in the height of summer, because of the forest shade.

We enjoyed several nights recently in this well appointed home. Situated right next to the provincial park and a 10 minute walk from the incredible Rathtrevor Beach it is an ideal spot for a quiet beach getaway. The home is clean, comfortable and well decorated. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Very well stocked, well cared for property in a beautiful location.

Check in was super easy with parking right outside the door, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cutlery and even sharp knives. We had everything we needed and more. There’s also much here for a younger family, which I would have appreciated so much in earlier years. Even the use of a wagon for carting kids and gear to the beach. Comfortable beds, quiet at night, and near a great restaurant in the next resort. I even found an EV charger within walking distance, (beside the restaurant) which is quite convenient. The beach here has bioluminescence once the water warms for mid summer, well worth a late wander or paddle. Host is excellent with communication and we would definitely come again.

A relaxing stay

This is the second time that my husband and I have spent in Tanglewood on the edge of Rathtrevor Park. The quiet forested neighborhood was perfect for very relaxing in this centrally located Tides Reach Cabin. It had everything that we needed to make ourselves feel at home. Monica was flexible and easy to communicate with. We will make this the place to stay the next time that we visit Parksville, BC

A peaceful retreat

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat away from noise & yet still need access to good good internet, this is it! A quick 5 min walk gets you right down to Rathtrevor Beach. Then warm up by the cozy fireplace on chilly evenings & enjoy cooking in the well appointed, fully equipped kitchen.Master bed was firm yet comfy. Monica was super helpful & attentive. Would definitely recommend this place.

Family vacation

The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well equipped for every one that was there. Whether it was our three year old or my in-laws, everyone had a great time and felt relaxed in the cabin. There were so many small touches, like safety clips available to lock up any cupboards, and a potty training seat to make us feel safe.
