Michelle has outfitted the cabin with everything you could want or need. She has great insight into things to do around the area and answered any questions we had. She was so supportive when we had a family emergency during our stay, and went above and beyond when the community had a power outage. We can hardly wait for the next time we visit! ##### Michele H.

The property was beautiful and immaculate, set in the most peaceful surroundings imaginable. If only we had been able to stay for longer to enjoy all of the amenities! The hosts were amazing. Not only did they respond immediately to any questions, but also pro-actively addressed our needs. For example, on the first day my wife was struggling a bit to arrange the umbrellas on the patio as the sun went lower, on the second day they had put another screen there that allowed us to sit there comfortably for a few extra hours. Loved the wildlife too! Bald eagles nesting overhead, a seal popped out during a kayaking excursions, and met some friendly deer in the garden. ##### Henning G.

Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sanctuary Our plans changed and we needed to book something on Vancouver Island later than I usually would. Fortunately, this wonderful property was still available. If you are lucky enough to have your dates available, book it now. Secluded, quiet, and in an idyllic setting, this is the perfect base for exploring the island, or just decompressing on property. A few steps from the cabin is a waterfront patio all to yourself, providing a tranquil place to start and end the day. The cabin itself is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and well stocked. The king bed is comfortable. The linens plush. You couldn't possibly use all the towels provided. The hostess is fantastic: friendly and informative, but is invisible unless you need something. We had a great time here, and if we return, we'll book this property again. ##### Gary B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina D. Mar 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It Was the Best Ever! The pictures on Vrbo do not do The Rustic West justice. I was blown over when I opened the door. Not only was just as the pictures protrayed, it was so much more. The attention to detail was everywhere. All of the furnishings were perfect and the small things that make a house a home were everywhere. It was full of small treasures that aren't added to most rentals. Michelle and Dan are wonderful hosts. The location in the woods beside the water was refreshing and relaxing. It is located close enough to Parksville to be convienient yet seculed and private. Our only complaint is that we didn't plan to stay longer. ##### Nina D.

The kitchen was well equipped with far more than ever seen at other vacation properties. There was ease of access and parking. The ability to see both the beach/bay and mountains among the beautiful trees was breathtaking. We already plan on making this an annual trip (and coming from Texas in the US was an adventure in itself so this home must be absolutely amazing to want to do this annually)! Michelle was the ultimate hostess and patient even with the most mundane of questions. B.C. is absolutely awe-inspiring on its own, but venturing to Nanoose Bay, this property in particular is what made our trip what it was - spectacular. I literally cried that we had to leave because it was just the serene setting I had needed. A week was not nearly long enough! ##### Dr. Melanie M.

When we got to the property it was exactly as advertised and extremely clean. We enjoyed the well stocked interior, but with the fabulous oceanfront just steps away and the weather being glorious we spent a lot of time checking out the tide pools along the kilometres of rocky oceanfront at low tide and the waterfront patio at high tide. Sea lions were regular visitors along the shoreline, and bald eagles perched over the property while we took in the ocean views from the patio. A very relaxing vacation was had. ##### Al R.
