Another great stay!

The suite is clean and well appointed. The beach across the street is rocky but very peaceful. Other local beaches are a short drive away. The owners are lovely.

Perfection

This place was a gem. Location is perfect and just steps to the ocean. These accommodations were stylish, comfortable and came with everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and then some! The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil or item you could need. Our host Aileen went above and beyond to make our stay the best! Right down to fresh coffee beans and fresh cut flowers awaiting our arrival! Thank you for making our first VRBO experience incredible😀😀

Positive Plus Experience at the Polished Pebble

We loved staying at the Polished Pebble—quiet residential neighborhood; Clean with a capital C; Helpful, detailed instructions about appliances, recycling, and checkout procedures. Aileen, the host, was very helpful with some scheduling issues we had. The 2bedroom unit is gorgeous—beautifully decorated, with great attention to thoughtful details— a real delight to stay here with private beach access. Don’t miss the nearby Animal Recovery Sanctuary—it’s incredible and the Country Store with goats living on the roof! Highly recommend this one!

Aileen is an amazing and meticulous host. Communications were timely and full of details. Her accommodation is deserving of being described as “boutique”. Aileen's attention to detail is impressive. Everything is spotless. We had every convenience imaginable, and her suite is very spacious and beautifully presented. We were spoiled with the amenities, including an assortment of complimentary soaps and hair products, paper towels and laundry items. The location is in a beautiful quiet setting, minutes from the beach. There are several options for beach walking. Yet we were conveniently close to the main road for shopping and access to other nearby sites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend The Polished Pebble BNB for discerning visitors.

We had a fantastic experience. The suite was exactly as advertised, and Aileen was lovely and very responsive to questions. The area is quiet with easy beach access and a short walk to Rathtrevor. We were all very comfortable at night (2 bedrooms and a pull-out couch) and the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. Lots to do in the area.

The absolute perfect place to be

We've been travelling to so many places - but Aileen's place is by far the best. Very neat, clean, bright, well equipped, nicely decorated and very close to the beach. We enjoyed every minute and we can definitely recommend it!

Super stay near the beach!

The unit is beautiful, tidy and has everything you need. The neighbourhood is very quiet and I enjoyed walking at the beach with convenient access just across the street. Lots of windows in the unit provide natural light and great views of gardens. It’s a very peaceful and private place to stay, Highly recommend!

Lovely unit, right across from the beach.

The unit was very nice, spotless upon arrival. Owners kindly let us in early, which was much appreciated. Quick responses to our questions. Location was great, quiet and right across from beach, 5 minutes to town for groceries, etc. No complaints at all!

Parksville stay

Such a top notch place to stay! The host, Aileen, is not only a lovely person but she has really put so much thought into the place. From the decorations, to the quality household items to make your stay more comfortable. You will not find a more thoughtful host!! There is plenty of privacy and it really does feel like a home away from home! 10/10! Thank you!

Great place to stay

Great place to stay with our family of 4. We were able to use the BBQ and also enjoyed the convenience of a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The suite was clean and quiet and my daughter enjoyed the ocean theme throughout the home. Loved that the beach was within walking distance. The beach toys and wagon was also very handy for us to use with the kids when going out. One minor inconvenience was that there was no dining table, only a breakfast bar with tall stools. It was hard to safely contain our 2 year old during meal times and messes were made all over the floor. Luckily the suite also had a vacuum which was also very good for clean up.

Beautiful suite near ocean

The place was very clean and beautiful. Everything we needed was there, including beach toys, beach chairs, wagon to take to beach, kids toys and games and more! There was access to a rocky beach just across the street and it was also close to sandy Parksville beach (5 min drive) and Rathtrevor beach (5 min drive). You could also walk to Rathtrevor through the forested area by the ocean too, which was beautiful. We would definitely recommend this place!

Beware the stairs

The first thing we noticed was the 14 step staircase to get up to this lovely place. We are seniors and it was a lot to bring up all you take for a 10 day stay! Our host knew our ages (75 &87) and did not make us aware of this and a photo on the website would certainly have been helpful. Yes there is a washer and dryer but one would need to stand on a stool or chair to read the panel for the dryer. This place has stunning decor! The kitchen does not leave you wanting for anything. All appliance are top quality. Very deep tub to step up into for a shower and no safety grab bar. There should be a step stool if you need anything from even the second shelves in kitchen. That sounds like a lot of complaining but it is an honest review of our experience here. The stairs preclude us from a second stay.
