Backs onto nice wild section of Rathtrevor Park The community has nice landscaping and large trees throughout, and has a great beach which is located at the bottom of a steep incline , The people we encountered were sociable and helpful . The historic Black Goose is a short walk from the accommodation . Very pet friendly and close to other nice spots to visit. Recommended.

The house was amazing to stay in for me and my family to spend a few days. It had everything you would need. The kids really liked the forest area behind the house. It also really walkable to mini golf course/ice cream

We returned to the forest hideaway again this year and found it even better than before. The host is super nice and very responsive to questions and needs. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for a fabulous holiday. The beach is perfect for young children as it is shalllow and goes on for miles at low tide.

My husband and I arrived with our daughter and two grandkids, ages 6 & 9. It was the perfect retreat for us, the backyard nestled in beside the great forest of Rathtrevor Park, and the beach only a couple minutes walk down the road. The place is so clean and quiet. Absolutely everything you need for your stay is right there… laundry, extra blankets and pillows, beach towels and toys for the kids, gas range, etc. Also the nearby amenities were amazing, groceries, shopping etc only a few minutes drive away. And lots of things to do for the kids, goofy gulf, adventure park, butterfly garden, Coombs etc. We would definitely return!

We're repeat customers at this place, we love it! Highly recommend. The location is superb, just a short walk to the beach, mini golf, and rathtrevor. The home has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. And a beautiful backyard bordered by the rathtrevor woods. We saw deer most mornings along with bunnies and many birds! We plan to return once again next year!

We had a great stay at forest hideaway- were impressed by the arrangement that fit nicely all of us (big group of 6 ppl various age group plus a pet). Clean, tasteful decor, spacious, close to beach, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in/ out process- top marks! Only feedback would be when it is hot - say 20c or so hard to cool the place down without an a/c.

The property was lovely, in a fabulous location, very close to the beach. The weather was perfect for sitting on the quiet, shaded deck. Our stay was very relaxing. The host, Alexis, responded quickly to any questions we had.

This property is exactly as described on the VRBO site. It is immaculate, comfortable and stocked with everything you would need for your getaway. Located in a beautifully maintained neighborhood, it's close to all the amenities Parksville has to offer and many wonderful restaurants. Rathtrevor Provincial Park is just a couple of minutes walk from the front door, with beautiful coastal walking trails, picnic areas and a beach that stretches for miles. Alexis was a very gracious and accommodating host who promptly responded to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property and definitely hope to stay here again. Thanks for everything Alexis. Nancy, Denis & Grace

This home was fantastic. We absolutely loved our stay and will most certainly be back! We came with our 2.5 year old daughter and our dog. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable (well stocked kitchen, beach towels, etc.). We packed a wagon for our beach excursions, which was an 8 minute walk down the road. The beach is perfect for young kids! And dogs are permitted while on leashes. Back yard area has a BBQ and hose which were great! And we saw deer most mornings and evenings! Highly recommend - it's a perfect stay.

This "cabin in the woods" is exactly as the pictures describe. Spotlessly clean and quiet. A short walk to a sandy natural beach. Surrounded by trees, with a nice restaurant nearby and also close to shopping, takeout etc. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes etc and well laid out for preparing meals and snacks. There were only 2 of us plus our dog, but there is plenty of space/bed options for a larger group. There is absolutely no smoking on the property, grass, roadways etc. So, if like my husband, you enjoy an evening cigarette, you will have to stroll down to the beach. If you are more than occasional smokers, this may not be the property for you. Also, the day we arrived it was very hot. There is no aircon, but the place cooled down with doors and windows open. But there is no fenced area for a dog, so if your dog isn't well trained it would have to be leashed. All in all, highly recommended.

We loved our stay in Alexis’ Tanglewood town house during the May long weekend. Everything we needed was there, including some great extras such as fans and beach toys. We loved how close it was to Rathtrevor Beach and Riptide Lagoon mini golf. Alexis sent a great welcome letter prior to our stay that explained everything we needed to know. We’ll be back!
