Ideal cottage for our family of 4. Central to great hikes, beaches, day trips to Victoria and Tofino. Kids loved that mini-golf was 200 steps away and used the pool everyday. Well equipped and clean

Everything about this process and property was .awesome. Well appointed, clean unit with all the amenities your require along with a BBQ, Keurig coffee machine and a regular coffee maker AND an air fryer. Linens and towels were good quality and plenty. We have stayed in numerous VRBO properties over the years and this was the nicest we have stayed at. Highly recommended.although we may not be able to get a booking now that I mention this. It is our intention to return to this area and this property.

Impeccable Beautifully maintained unit with no evidence of wear and tear we see in some properties. Tastefully decorated and furnished with nice dishes. Grounds and facilities excellent. Quiet at night. We would highly recommend.

Amazing place and location! We have already booked for our next stay. The condo was absolutely lovely and so very well equipped with anything we might need. The two hot tubs and pool made our stay even that much more enjoyable.

Spectacular home and location! Just loved our stay, best VRBO ever! We love the Parksville area and really love Craig Bay!

Parksville Summer Vacay! Proximity to beaches, mountains, cute coffee shops, golf, bumper boat rides etc. fantastic.

Absolutely AWESOME!! I loved my stay!! I stayed for a month with my yellow lab and the fenced back yard was so perfect for my dog. The huge willow tree is just stunning, enjoyed many moments on the deck and in the zero gravity chair catching the breeze under the willow tree. Gorgeous sunsets as well. The house was spotless clean when I arrived and the bedding and towels looked brand new. Loved all the kitchen gadgets, everything you could possibly need. Dahlia was just awesome with communicating and it was a pleasure to meet her! You will love your stay!! Its close to everything and a haven to return home to after your daily adventures.

I cant say enough about how great this property was. We felt right at home instantly as it was so clean & well stocked. The kitchen is just like being in your own home. The view is breathtaking & all the rooms as so large, we just loved it. Dahlia was available in an instant to answer our two questions we had during our months stay. We enjoyed many hikes in the area that were all close by - then coming home to the Hot Tub was a real treat. I would definitely stay here again & will recommend it to others. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

The property was exactly what was listed on the VRBO site and we were very happy with the accommodation. The Cottage is located within walking distance of Rath Trevor Beach which is a beautiful park along the ocean. Our dog loved her daily walks on the beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The walk to the beach was short and scenic, we encountered several deer on the way down to the beach almost every day. Rathtrevor Beach is stunning and a completely different experience depending on the tide. The cottage was very comfortable, warm and welcoming. All of the amenities in the cottage and around the cottage (yoga, sushi, miniature golf, pool) were wonderful. The whole process for booking the cottage and the confirmation package was easy and very timely. Great people to deal with. We had one small issue while we were there and the owners fixed it right away!!! We found getting around very easy and took several day trips. The main highways are all close and easy to access from this location. I would highly recommend this cottage and we are already thinking of returning next summer :)

Our stay at this Beach Club condo was wonderful! It is in the middle of town and the boardwalk running alongside this beautiful beach was just a short walk to to one of the best parks for children that we have been to! Our grandson was teething and very sad at nighttime, due to how the bedrooms were situated and soundproofed we never heard a thing:) I have never stayed in a condo before that had more towels, kitchen supplies( dishes, pots and pans, baking dishes, mixing bowls ect) everything to make a thanksgiving dinner... it was like being at home! Dahlia our property manager was quick and easy to reach, the beds were comfy, the pool and hot tub were great on a stormy day for the kids! I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to enjoy the beautiful beaches and town of Parksville and surrounding areas! Location, location, location

As advertised. Beautiful view and great property. We will definitely book again if in the area. Thanks

What an amazing property! The views are exactly like the pictures, and the rooms are all so spacious + roomy. Definitely a cozy place to relax or look forward to coming home to. Walks along the shore were so peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for a week over the Christmas holidays. It was a wonderful place to spend the holidays - picture curling up with a good book from their bookshelf, while the fire crackles around us and snow falls into the ocean. The swimming pool / main building was a short 200m walk from our unit - it was nice picking up a complimentary Kurig coffee or popcorn from the lobby on the way back. Nice, big kitchen with all the amenities. Bedrooms are huge, and one even has its own separate entrance & bathroom as a self-contained unit if needed. Overall the unit has new, high-end appliances and seems very updated/fresh. Great coffee maker that auto grinds beans before each brew. There are nice walking trails and playground around the property - I can only imagine the summer would be wonderful for the kids. Great, friendly communication from the owner. Thank you for the wonderful holiday!

We had a great stay , cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for the kids.

The place was perfect for our family. Lots of family activities nearby, close to the beach, would recommend.

We rented this condo and another one in the complex. So close to the beach, and town, and the playground. We could walk for ice cream. Just fabulous.

A wonderful 3+wk stay to visit family in Parksville. Condo is well appointed and includes some very much appreciated amenities. The view is magnificent overlooking Georgia Strait. Close to all conveniences too! Thanks - Ill be back soon!

We loved the location. Its right on the beach with easy access to everything. The rental was very straight forward. We were met and given the key and a short run down. Our Host was available but we didnt need a thing.

We stayed at Mermaid Cottage for 10 weeks when we moved into the area and waited for our house to be ready. Dahlia was so helpful and accommodating with booking our accommodation. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had leading up to and while staying here. The rental was very well stocked with everything you would need, even kids plates, cups and bowls for our kids. There were pool towels to use and in suite laundry which is a huge bonus The amenities at the resort were great. We loved the pool and visited it everyday. The resort is quiet and well maintained. The area the resort is located in is perfect. 5 minutes had you at a number of beaches, hikes or at the Community Park in Parksville. Grocery shopping is close by. You couldnt find a better location to stay at. Look forward to holidaying here in the future.

Just right for 6 of us Comfortable for all 6 of us age ranges from 7-37, loved the upscale cottage feel, property and host was very accommodating

I had a great stay here, the place was very well kept and clean. Dahlia was very responsive to any questions or issues I had. Beautiful view. Would definitely stay again!

Very clean cottage with good linens and towels. There was good internet and smart TVs, so we got some Netflix watching in the evenings. Good location to Rathtrevor beach. Very enjoyable stay!
