Great place to stay with our family of 4. We were able to use the BBQ and also enjoyed the convenience of a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The suite was clean and quiet and my daughter enjoyed the ocean theme throughout the home. Loved that the beach was within walking distance. The beach toys and wagon was also very handy for us to use with the kids when going out. One minor inconvenience was that there was no dining table, only a breakfast bar with tall stools. It was hard to safely contain our 2 year old during meal times and messes were made all over the floor. Luckily the suite also had a vacuum which was also very good for clean up.

Beautiful, clean accommodations. Comfortable beds and pillows. Lovely owner. Super close to beach and bird sanctuary.

The place was very clean and beautiful. Everything we needed was there, including beach toys, beach chairs, wagon to take to beach, kids toys and games and more! There was access to a rocky beach just across the street and it was also close to sandy Parksville beach (5 min drive) and Rathtrevor beach (5 min drive). You could also walk to Rathtrevor through the forested area by the ocean too, which was beautiful. We would definitely recommend this place!

The first thing we noticed was the 14 step staircase to get up to this lovely place. We are seniors and it was a lot to bring up all you take for a 10 day stay! Our host knew our ages (75 &87) and did not make us aware of this and a photo on the website would certainly have been helpful. Yes there is a washer and dryer but one would need to stand on a stool or chair to read the panel for the dryer. This place has stunning decor! The kitchen does not leave you wanting for anything. All appliance are top quality. Very deep tub to step up into for a shower and no safety grab bar. There should be a step stool if you need anything from even the second shelves in kitchen. That sounds like a lot of complaining but it is an honest review of our experience here. The stairs preclude us from a second stay.

This property is fully loaded and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has everything you would need. The gardens are lovely and many beach access points are within walking distance. Loved bird watching at the estuary. Great instruction book on site. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks Aileen!

I absolutely love Parksville and this was the perfect place to enjoy it from. It's tucked away right at the edge of the town so it's convenient but it feels like you're a million miles away from everything distracting. We could hear and see the ocean and even smell the fresh salt air! Everything was clean, easy to understand and perfectly laid out. We had complete privacy yet we knew that our hosts were close by if needed. I'd stay again without hesitation.

We had a wonderful vacation. Aileen has thought of everything and the suite is clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We especially loved the location. We spent tons of time on the beach.

This was the perfect spot! Lots of easy beach access. An amazing beach for playing and walking. Close to Rathtrevor and lots of trails. The suite is quiet, very clean, organized, comfortable, and has everything you need for a family getaway. Wonderful. We’ll be back!
