Excellent vacation cottage for a big group!
We had a great stay at forest hideaway- were impressed by the arrangement that fit nicely all of us (big group of 6 ppl various age group plus a pet). Clean, tasteful decor, spacious, close to beach, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in/ out process- top marks! Only feedback would be when it is hot - say 20c or so hard to cool the place down without an a/c.

Forest Hideaway in Tanglewood
The property was lovely, in a fabulous location, very close to the beach. The weather was perfect for sitting on the quiet, shaded deck. Our stay was very relaxing.
The host, Alexis, responded quickly to any questions we had.

“Forest Hideaway by the Ocean” is the place you want to be for a relaxing vacation
This property is exactly as described on the VRBO site. It is immaculate, comfortable and stocked with everything you would need for your getaway. Located in a beautifully maintained neighborhood, it's close to all the amenities Parksville has to offer and many wonderful restaurants. Rathtrevor Provincial Park is just a couple of minutes walk from the front door, with beautiful coastal walking trails, picnic areas and a beach that stretches for miles. Alexis was a very gracious and accommodating host who promptly responded to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property and definitely hope to stay here again. Thanks for everything Alexis.
