About this house rental
Our beautiful Oceanside beach-level Townhouse is located in Parksville, British Columbia.
Parksville is on the east side of Vancouver Island, 150 km north of Victoria.
Our townhouse is in the Tanglewood complex on the southern edge of Parksville between Rathtrevor Provincial Park and Beach Acres Resort.
We are located at beach level -- it is a short 30 second walk (about 50 paces) from our unit to the beach, no long walks through the woods to get to the ocean, which is visible on every level of the unit.
We offer huge sandy beaches, warm water, and a quiet atmosphere in a privately owned complex. Enjoy, relax, and rejuvenate yourself in your 'home away from home'. Have a great time swimming in the ocean, walking the beach, or hiking the trails in the Provincial park next door.
For those who like to golf, we are within a 20 minute drive of ten or more courses that will provide a challenge to any level of player. If mini-golf is more for you and the kids, we are under a 5 minute walk away.
Our townhouse is fully equipped.
On the top floor are two bedrooms and a four piece bathroom. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private deck and cable TV. The second bedroom has a two double futon bunks with singles on top.
The main floor has the living room with fireplace and cable TV, dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a four piece bathroom, gas barbeque and two decks.
On the entry level is the third bedroom with a double bed. It also has a 1/2 bath. This level also has a single car garage with a full size laundry washer and dryer.
When you are ready for your day on the beach we provide beach toys for sand castle building for the kids. We also have our red beach wagon to help you get these to and from the beach.
This is the perfect location to enjoy the wonderful West Coast. Come and explore the beach and the surrounding area. You will find something for everyone in your party.
Sorry No pets and No smoking in the townhouse.

I've been to Parksville many times but this was our first summer stay and I loved it! Definitely a great time of year to visit with kids. We loved the beach with swimsuits instead of rain clothes and boots :) Definitely plan to come again in the summer. I love staying at this property with my kids. Lots of space and the comfort of home.

Tanglewood 18 was perfect for our family. Very clean, lots of room, beds and bathrooms were awesome. It was quiet and the ocean with its massive beach it right there and also Rathtrevor park. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Despite the rain, we enjoyed our stay once again at Tanglewood. Beach mornings and cozy afternoons made our trip memorable. Our daughter especially enjoyed flying the kite she found in the garage on the beach. Thank you again for having us and we hope to return next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It felt very much like we were borrowing a friend's family cottage- a cottage that just happened to be steps away from the glorious Rathtrevor beach. That proximity was a huge plus. The beach was perhaps a hundred feet away on a level and well maintained trail. That wasn't the only positive part of this place. The property itself was roomy and well appointed. It is a three level townhouse. Stairs don't bother this retired couple yet, but perhaps they might in a few years. But for the young families that this property is really meant for, it'd be just fine. The property is well-lived in and has lots of amenities that would appeal to families with small children. We enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay here again. Just a little TLC would have made the place absolutely perfect.

Another wonderful stay at Tanglewood 18! Very clean and comfortable - the perfect home base for long walks on the beach, ocean swims and forest hikes. Saw lots of local wildlife/sealife. Fantastic weather - couldn’t have asked for anything better. Found ourselves wishing we could stay longer (again!). We will be back . . .

This property was located right on the beach and access was easy. This is why we chose it.
The condo was comfortable and worked for a family of four and two grandparents.
Renters should be aware that third bedroom does not have a window or closet.
We enjoyed our 4 night stay.

Thank you, Archie, for sharing your piece of paradise! Your vacation spot is wonderful and we had a great time! Nice to be only steps from the beach and the wagon was very helpful.
Plenty of beds for our group and the three bathrooms were a bonus!
Archie was a pleasure to deal with. Very helpful and quick to respond.
We would love to go back one day!
Parksville is our happy place!

We had an amazing stay at Archie’s place. The house was clean, comfortable and great for our family. Just steps from the ocean and right beside Rathtrevor Park made entertaining the kids so easy.

Our first vacation in 3 years due to Covid. Appreciated the extra cleaning and supplies which were left for us. Spectacular weather - much warmer than we were anticipating. Awesome, easy access to the beach and a convenient home base for exploring further afield - Cathedral Grove, Top Bridge, Madrona Point, Beachcomber Park, Rathtrevor, Coombs, etc. Quantity of beds and bathrooms perfect for our family.

The home was clean and comfortable….had every convenience..well equipped kitchen… parking was fine and it’s so close to everything……but best of all the beach access . Not so keen on the three stories as we are in our 70’s but all was good.

Wonderful place to stay! The house was clean, good layout, had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and in a great location; close to lots of fun activities.
We loved how close to the beach we were plus being able to see the beach from multiple windows and decks was really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

Beautiful Beachfront
This unit is in an incredible location that has something for everyone. Walk to the beach, Rathtrevor, mini golf, or a pub within minutes. Loved our stay and hope to stay again.

Wonderful stay at the beach
Excellent location as advertised. You can't beat a location so close to the beach and an unexpectedly lovely view from the master bedroom patio. Lots of space for 8-10 people.

Great location
The unit is only a couple of steps to the beach and has plenty of beach toys, which were a highlight for my kids! There's one unit and half bathroom at the ground level, the second level is the kitchen, living room and a full bathroom, and the third level has two bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. The master also has a patio which is fantastic in the evenings.
Great for groups, but a lot of stairs for those with mobility challenges.

Excellent location and host
Archie was fantastic to work with, very responsive and helpful to ensure we had an excellent stay. The location is fantastic, the complex is super quiet and private (bring the kids bikes!) with excellent access to the park, beach, and fun activities at Riptide Lagoon up the road.

Fabulous stay at the amazing Rathtrevor Beach
What a great VRBO experience. The property was exactly as advertised, communication with the owner was quick and easy, and that beach.....! I think that this will be the first of many stays at Tanglewood 18.

Excellent accommodation!
Excellent property very close to the beach. Obstructed ocean views, but still very nice. Good value for the money given the size of the condo which is very spacious. Condo has been renovated nicely. Kitchen could stand to use a couple new pots and pans, but is nicely stocked otherwise. Very nice and professional host as well. Definitely would recommend.

Great Getaway
We had a wonderful stay October 2021. The townhome is in a perfect quiet location so close to the beach and the park. There was lots of room for everyone to relax. Townhome had everything we needed for our stay. Wish we could of stayed longer! Looking forward to booking it again for future trips! Thank you

Another Fabulous Week at Tanglewood
We've been staying with Archie for 5 years now. Our annual beach vacation never disappoints. Archie's place is perfect for a family with kids. It's steps from the beach and Rathtrevor Park. We can't wait to come back again next year :)

Vacation in Paradise
This is our second year staying in this unit. We loved it so much we continue to book in advance year to year. Close to the beach, with Archie nearby if any issues come up (none ever have). Modern, clean....we love it.

Great location right next to the beach.
My family come back everytime because Rathtrevor is such a nice spot and these Tanglewood properties at the bottom of the hill make going to and coming back from the beach so convenient.

A great stay!
We had a great stay - Archie is always helpful with anything needed and we highly recommend a stay here. We love having the large space, the back deck with the picnic table, and the close proximity to Rathtrevor beach. As well, everything is provided, even down to the blender in the kitchen.

Lovely stay
This was a lovely property very near the beach. It is well stocked and was a pleasure to stay at. It is on three floors, so there are quite a few stairs, which was find for us. There are several decks with the upper being great for star gazing. The owner was quickly responsive and helpful.

This place is bigger than it looks in the photos. Spacious and comfortable and updated and quiet. It's nice to look off one of the balconies or through the window and be able to peek where the tide is at. Many long walks were enjoyed on the beach and on Rathrevor trails. It's so nice to not have to drag your beach stuff up a hill, it's just a short flat trail from the parking to the beach. If your kids like bunnies there's a million of them in Rathrevor, walk down to the playground area and you'll be spotting them in every direction. Or if you check the tide schedule and walk straight out when it's lowest, you'll be walking through millions of black living sand dollars. Just beautiful

We love this place!
It's become a tradition to visit Tanglewood each summer, and this year did not disappoint. Even though the weather was gloriously hot, this unit stayed cool. The unit is spacious and clean, and we loved the picnic table on the back deck for playing card games and having dinner. It's such a wonderful place! Thank you, Archie!

Wonderful experience in a beautiful location
We had a wonderful stay at this property and plan to make it our first choice for our annual trip to Parksville. The kitchen was well equipped and we never felt the need to eat out. It truly is a home away from home :) With a 2 year old, we really appreciated little things like having beach toys and an outside hose right at the door for cleaning off sand. The close proximity to the beach meant we didn't need a stroller or car to enjoy the space. There is a convenience store at the top of the drive that sells firewood and we enjoyed a couple of beach campfires during our stay. The only thing we weren't able to find in the unit was matches or a lighter. Luckily, my sister was at Unit 19 and she had a lighter for us to use.
My only recommendation to the owners is to use fragrance-free laundry detergent on the towels and sheets as the perfume was a little overpowering as we were trying to sleep.
We will be back next year!

Great vacation with kids!
We had a great time at Archie's place as a family of 4 with kids aged 3 and 1. The third bedroom on the lower level was perfect for our little one who needed dark and quiet to sleep during the day! Kids dishes, toys, puzzles, sand toys all available which was great because we had quite a few rainy days. Steps to the beach, amazing location, probably the best part of the whole trip. Our truck didnt fit in the garage but there is plenty of visitor parking right in front of the condo. Easy drive into town to get whatever you need. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great beachside vacation rental
We went on a girls trip to this property and loved the townhouse. The view was beautiful and it's a very short walk to the beach. The house didn't have many complimentary items like shampoo etc. . or at least we couldn't find them. Otherwise we would strongly recommend this rental.
