2bdrm 2bath Cottage w/ indoor pool 5 min from beach

Amazing, private and roomy cottage style detached house located in the popular Ocean Village Resort community of Parksville British Columbia. Located on Resort Drive beside the beach access to Rathtrevor Beach. Just a short pleasant walk away from unfettered beach access, sun and sand.

Upstairs we have two twin beds plus another full bathroom. This loft space is perfect for guests and or children. Have extra folks or children? No problem, the sofa is a pullout queen mattress to accommodate those extra sleepers.

We have a wonderful back deck that is very private and awesome for enjoying that sun. Patio table, chairs and umbrella are provided along with a nice Weber BBQ for your grilling needs. Lots of natural light in cottage with wonderful vaulted ceilings to really add to the space.

The location here can’t be beat as you will be a short walk away from one of the most scenic walking/running/biking trails on Vancouver Island that winds its way through Rathtrevor Park while contouring to the ocean. The beach here is amazing with fantastic tidal pools and sundcastling fun. Enjoy the tide being out for fantastic walks, and views and enjoy some swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking when the tide comes in. Loads of excellent golf courses in the area, many of which are a 15 min drive from Resort Drive. Want to ski? Mount Washington is an hour North and offers a huge selection of runs and lifts.

Exactly what we needed

Exceptionally clean and tidy. Close to incredible beaches, hiking and dining. Perfect for a family of 3 or 4. We loved the pool and hot tub. If kiddos are young you may end up driving to the beach as it's a full 10 min walk and includes a big hill on the way back. We would stay again.

The host really communicated well. The directions and key code were inaccurate but with ease we corrected and gained entry. The kitchen was great, only there 2 days so didnt use laundry. Cottage was clean, other than some dust. Towels were lovely fluffy soft, bed linens were fine. If we used the place again I would bring my own pillow and an extra blanket. Upstairs bedroom did not have extra blankets. Our only complaint was lack of lamps. One very small one in living room and none in either bedroom. It made reading at night impossible and upstairs was a safety issue with no light and an open stairwell. There was a nightlight by the bathroom but it was motion activated so did not light up near the stairs. The stairwell had lights but they were too bright to leave on.

The Place was really clean... and smelled great! We bumped into the lady who does the cleaning when we were leaving and told her the lavender (that it turns out she comes a couple hours before our check in) was a lovely touch and had the place smelling as good as it looked! Andrew (owner) answered our questions quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend this place!

Comfortable unit

Ideal for two couples, the unit is a short walk to the complex facilities. It is within (longer) walking distance of the beach, more restaurants and bars. There is plenty to entertain children including the indoor pool and hot tub, mini golf and forest walks to the beach. A 5 minute drive to Parksville will meet all your grocery, restaurant and entertainment needs. Host was easy to communicate with, the unit was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was adequately stocked: bring spices, kitchen/garbage bags, foil, cling wrap, dish brush/scrubber for stays longer than a weekend, as well as board games for inclement weather. Ocean Village Resort is a great place to vacation and we can’t wait to return.

Sweet Spot with Pool and Rathtrevor Park Next Door

Very happy with our stay here. The owner communication was great. The master bedroom is a nice size with a king size bed I believe. The two single beds upstairs are more suitable for children as they are shorter. Upstairs is a very nice area as there is another tv and another bathroom. Plus we used the fold down couch in the living room as my husband seems sto snore on vacation.lol. We had great weather for our 4 nights. We enjoyed walking to mini golf and having an ice cream. Only 5 min or less away! And we ate at 2 different restaurants right in walking distance. The beach and Rathtrevor Park are about 10 mins away. We walked down a couple of times and we drove a couple of times with all of our stuff to stay there for a few hours. Lots of parking in public parking near the beach at Rathtrevor. Tide was out and we sat with our chairs and hats and a couple drinks with the tunes on. Don't forget your sunscreen!

This cottage was a lovely spot for a family holiday. Quick access to the beach, mini golf right next door, and the pool and hot tub were great for wearing out the kids. There are lots of biking and hiking trails in the area, and some great options for day trips in nearby towns such as Coombs, Cumberland and Qualicum Beach. The cottage itself was perfect for my family of 5. The kitchen was well stocked, the washer/dryer was fantastic, there is loads of storage for clothes etc, and the patio space was very private and great for dining outside. We had no issues with check in or with the unit during our stay. My only nitpick is that the dishwasher didn’t work very well and was super loud, so it’s probably easier to just wash dishes yourself. Overall we were very happy with the rental!

Overall a great place and easy to check in. Only feedback is around the kitchen. Only one cutting board that was soft wood and no baking sheets. Otherwise it was a great location and worth a visit.

Sister's retreat

We come back to the Oceanside cottages every year and we've never been disappointed. The cottages feel like home with all the comforts you would expect. We walked the trail to the ocean,BBQ'd, shopped, dipped in the ocean and dined out all conveniently close by and at the end of each day came home to relax in the hot tub and just hang out!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
I have been coming to Parksville for 40-plus years and now I’m able to bring my family to the area. We just love the proximity to the beach, Coombs and of course Parksville. So many wonderful hiking and walking trails to explore. Farm to table restaurants, micro breweries, golf and skiing and of course all the water activities one can imagine.

Why they chose this property

We love having a cottage feel in a big separate home. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy, sit on back deck for a BBQ and enjoy the peace and quiet. Easy access to all things desired and kids love having the pool right there for year round use. We love not having any neighbours beneath or above us. Great space to spread out with the family. The complex is great for kids biking around or playing on the front yard.
