This property is so clean and well cared for. It was perfectly comfortable and the kitchen was much better stocked than most places. They even had board games and colouring supplies for the kids. The pool is a great feature, although it gets quite noisy when busy. I would absolutely rebook this for another vacation. Lots to do just a short walk or drive away.

We had a great time at this rental! We had 2 adults, and then a 13yr, 10yr, 3yr, and 2yr. The older 2 kids loved having their own loft space and private bathroom. We brought a pack n play and it fit in the guest room closet perfectly so that the toddlers could also room share. The beds were comfortable and we all loved the patio with privacy hedges! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. We loved having access to a dishwasher and laundry during the week. We absolutely loved Parksville, this cabin and the surrounding area and cant wait to come back to visit again next year. If you are looking for a family friendly vacation rental for a larger family, this space is perfect!

We loved the house - it was clean and comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. Two good size bedrooms downstairs and the kids loved having the upstairs loft bedroom with their own bathroom and TV. Fantastic location for activities: minigolf is a 2 minute walk, a huge park nearby, and lots of cool spots within a short drive (Coombs, Cathedral Grove, etc). We also did the 5 minute walk to the resort nearby and had a fabulous dinner at the steakhouse/restaurant. The location of the house in the community could not be better if you want to use the pool - it is a 30 second walk. The pool was really nice and was never crowded even though we went everyday at least once and at different times of the day. The area was quiet and clean, no noise at night. Would highly reccomend!!

This beautiful cottage really is a home away from home! We are very picky when it comes to staying somewhere other than our own home and Starfish Cottage was perfect! Julie was very easy to communicate with, check in was super simple, and the cottage had all of the amenities you could ask for and then some!

We had the most wonderful time staying at Starfish Cottage. Wonderfully located, close to a lot of beautiful beaches (Parksville Community Beach & Rathtrevor beach), and local restaurants (The Black Goos Inn!). The kids loved the warm water indoor pool and spent hours in there playing the first couple of days we arrived when the weather was a bit to cool for the beach and ocean swimming. Our kids loved it! Evening swim after dinner to drain their batteries! Our host Julie was friendly and easy to communicate with. It was a pleasure dealing with her. Starfish Cottage was clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. The cottage provided a home-away-from-home with a well stocked kitchen of dishes, cups, and the basic cooking pots/pans, and utensils, allowing me to prepare a simple dinner on our first night and simple breakfast of bacon and eggs in the mornings since we're all slow when first waking up and like to lounge around before hitting the beach around 1130am. I loved the coffee maker provided that allowed me to preset a timer for the next day were I wake up to freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. And THANK YOU for providing coffee too! (insert heart emoji here). Check-out was very easy and Julie didn't have a long list of chores for us! Expectations at check-out was basic common sense and very acceptable. Respectful to both host and guests. Most definitely my family will be returning to Starfish Cottage in the years to come.

Spent 4 days in the cottage, and it was great. We were worried about the hot temperatures, but even without AC the fans in the rooms/bedrooms and the shade kept the cottage from getting too warm. Great location to walk to the ocean. Would stay again.

Our group of 5 recently stayed at Starfish Cottage. We found the cottage to be exceptionally clean throughout and we had no issues during our stay. The cottage is perfectly located within the development as it is very close to the indoor pool and is only a 3 minute walk to the mini golf. We would not hesitate to book here again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is exactly as promised in the pictures, and very comfortable. The beds were each very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, including lots of glasses, which is much appreciated when traveling with kids. The location is convenient for Rathstrevor and Parksville- a nice walk to the beach, but a bit long for younger kids. However, there is plenty of parking at Rathstrevor, so you can also reach it in a few minutes by car.

Everything was immaculately clean. There were also amenities in the kitchen that we were not expecting and Julie even left us a bottle of wine. It is not beachside but there’s a lovely walk through Rathtrevor campsite to the beach. Would stay again for sure.

Our stay at the Starfish Cottage was very comfortable and enjoyable! The cottage is as nice as the description on the Vrbo website. It is clean and cozy and feels like home! We were 4 adults - 3 siblings and our elderly parent. Aside from a few steps up to get into the cottage, everything was accessible with a walker and the main floor master bedroom and adjoining bathroom made it easy for dad to move around. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring the area! So much to see and do! We thouroughly enjoyed our stay!

Love this cabin at Ocean Village! Marvellous location, very clean, close to Rathtrevor beach( the BEST BEACH on Vancouver Island after Long Beach). You are walking distance to a pool, mini golf and a small café ( only open 4 hours lol). The cabin is in mint shape. Super clean. Great having a BBQ! Walking distance to the amazing pub, Black Goose! 3-4 min drive to Parksville town centre. Julie was very easy to communicate with. Top notch!

We’ve stayed at this resort before so we knew what to expect. Lovely cottage, well stocked kitchen, and wonderful to have a deck to exercise and ensuite laundry with 2 bathrooms. Great to have a 3rd bed in the loft, just wished that it was a queen or king. The most comfortable bed was on the ground floor.

Very nice holiday property, exactly as advertised. Main bedroom could use a mirror. An extra set of towels for those of us who don’t want to use the washing machine would be helpful for stays that are longer than three days.

A perfect place for a family gathering.

A perfect place for a family gathering.

Julie is so welcoming and helpful. Star Cottage is clean, fully equipped, and spacious for a family of seven. The back deck is a nice addition for outdoor meals and BBQ. The location is conveniently close to Rathtrevor and Parksville Beaches, parks and other day-trip tourist destinations (e.g., Coombs, Qualicum Beach, Little Qualicum and Englishman Falls, Long Beach, etc.). We will be back hopefully soon. Thank you, Julie for renting your cozy cottage.
