"The owners of this vacation cottage thought of absolutely everything to ensure our stay was perfect. Everyone of our needs were met in what was available and supplied. The rooms are all spacious and the outside patio area was like your own private backyard. This was probably the best VRBO property we have ever stayed at."

"My family and I loved how cozy and comfortable our stay was. 15min walk to the beach or a 2 minute drive. The pool and hot tub were a big hit for my son. It’s nice and close to a lot of fun places to explore."

"Very good, as advertised. Very quiet and homey"

"Very nice and clean and well supplied. The bedding and dishes were well worn but everything else was top notch! Loved the decor and personal touches!"

"Elsie is a very considerate host and the cottage is very very pleasant and comfortable."

"Lovely accommodation. Nice and quiet. Close to the road, but no issue for us Beds comfortable overall, but the loft could use either blackout curtains or a roller shade that keeps the morning light a bit more subdued, if you like to sleep in. It would be nice to have something to put luggage on to keep it off the floor, as I'm a senior citizen. Great private backyard patio. Good communication with owner. Would definitely recommend this property and we're hoping to come back again."

"We were delighted with the great cottage ambiance and beautiful upgrades of this rental. It was a rainy weekend but the games room provided much entertainment."

"This host goes above and beyond to give their guests' a great experience. The place is very clean and spacious, and it includes everything you need. It's also very well decorated and cozy, and the location is great! The host even brought us fresh linens after a few days. Great attention to detail!"

"A quiet property within minutes of amenities. We enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well appointed. Many personal touches such as books to read or DVDs to watch."

"Lovely cozy home, spotlessly clean, very comfy beds & well-equipped for a family stay. We were able to relax from the moment we arrived because Glynis had thought of all the details. We’ve stayed at quite a few VRBOs now and this is our new favourite. Location is central to so many amenities, beaches and restaurants."

"As pictured in listing, beautiful place to stay on a lake with incredibly clear water. Well equipped with gas barbecue, gas fireplace, espresso maker, very large washer dryer, canoes, paddle boards, dock for lounging. Would be great for families as well as couples. Private but hosts nearby and available if needed."

"Beautiful house conveniently located between Nanaimo and Parksville. Grocery stores and other amenities very close by. We had everything we needed. Throughly enjoyable stay."

"Lovely, clean and cozy property right on “Resort Drive” in Parksville. Handy to Rathtrevor, town, Coombs, Cathedral Grove and Qualicum. Kitchen is well equipped and owners were quick to respond to any inquiries. Highly recommend. "

"I was looking for a cozy accommodation for 3 nights as a little getaway from Vancouver. This place did not disappoint one bit. Close to the Qualicum Beach airport, walking distance to the Fern + Cedar Brewery, the city center, the beach, and just steps from walking trails in the forest, this home away from home was everything we needed and more. It's easy to take the #91 Intercity bus to Parksville which we did, 2 days in a row, one day specifically to pick up a rental car. Easy peasy. Dana, the...

"We just spent the most amazing time at this beautiful vacation spot.This is such a beautifully equipped kitchen, complete with kitchen appliances, tools and linens. The bed are so very comfortable! The whole unit was spotless. We will definitely book again! We loved everything!"

"Great place to stay in a quiet and convenient location. Very well and nicely appointed."

"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...
