It’s definitely a bit of a drive back-and-forth to Parksville from this location, but very beautiful and the hosts were very thoughtful leaving water and some drinks in the fridge and some snacks, etc. would stay again.

Wonderful host! Comfortable room with many amenities. The location was spectacular. Views for miles and a 2-minute walk away was the most amazing little park with rock beaches, tidal pools, a visiting seal, and more incredible views! We would definitely return!

Hello, thank you for your comment of "Best Ever!" We are so glad you were so happy with the driftwood suite/ we are confused then by your low score of 2 stars. Perhaps it was an error? Wishing you the very best!
