May 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Staying in the Mermaid Cottage My wife and I (from Regina) winter in Parkskville every January & February for the past 6 years. We always stay at Oceanside Village Resort. We usually rent our cottage (which is the same as The Mermaid Cottage) from the resort when we do our snow birding. My wife had surgery in late December and we had to cancel our usual stay. We picked an open time in early April to early May that was open at the Mermaid Cottage. It is a wonderful unit. The loft, which is usually open in most Cypress units is enclosed. This was fantastic as our daughter was coming to visit us with her significant other (who is from Ottawa and a first time visitor to the island) and stayed in this bedroom giving them extra privacy. Our son had the front bedroom and we the master bedroom. We did not use the sofa, but it, too could be opened into a bed. I especially enjoyed the 2 reclining chairs with footrests. All of our family was impressed with this cottage. The access to the swimming pool, hot tub/sauna and small work out are is easy and very close. Some of my highlights were - all the kitchen utensils (dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, plates were like brand new. I was impressed that all the cutting knives in the cutting block were sharp. It is a new natural gas BBQ with a side burner (no propane bottle to worry about) and the gas was turned on already. The decor is very nice. We had a fantastic stay. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Dahlia. ##### Terry S. Stayed 28 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Beverly J.

Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved the location - near Rathtrevor Beach and the mini golf. We appreciated the condiments, spices, laundry soap and many other extras. It was a perfect family space. ##### Sherry W.
