Our property manager was so generous and accommodating for all our needs. I can't say a bad thing. The place was cute, functional and perfect location with two boys, 5 and 7. The mini-golf ride next to the cottages has two courses and cool bumper cars. We did mini-golfing at least 4 times during our 3 night stay. Rathtrevor beach is phenomenal, to say the least. Yes, it's within walking distance if you didn't have to bring all the kiddos stuff. But, a one minute drive, takes you to a spacious parking lot, that is a so close to this amazing beach. We were also extremely happy with the attractions so close to the cottage. We went to Coombs, awesome market with so much to see and buy. The speciality items are vast and very authentic. We also checked out the North Island Wildlife recovery which was so cool. So many amazing birds of prey within feet of you! Food choices are endless and suit any craving you may have during your stay. The cottage is equipped with all your needs for a great getaway. We will definitely try to come back soon. Thank you to our host, we appreciate your attentiveness and flexibility. Sincerely, Katalina and Family

This was a beautiful, impeccably clean cottage in a great location. We had everything we needed for our stay and enjoyed our time.

- plenty of room to sleep 6 - large back deck - great beds - Kitchen had lots of utensils for cooking - indoor pool on property cooled the kids off after the beach all day I would rent this property again. Perfectly situated in Parksville

Nice place. Good location. Made for a very nice family vacation

What a lovely location! My kids were in the pool or at mini golf everyday!

My wife and I stayed at the Sand Dollar Cottage for the month of January. The owner is very easy to deal with, and prompt with answers to questions both prior to booking and once we arrived. Location is great, close to Rathtrevor Park for a daily walk on the beach...and easy access to downtown Parksville. The complex itself appears to be well managed, and some nice amenities such as indoor pool, day spa, hair salon, and a ladies clothing store. There are restaurants close by, but we enjoyed staying in and cooking our own meals, and sipping a glass of wine in front of the fire. The only reason this is not a 5...probably a 4.5 is the towels and bed linens...the towels shed continuously and I think the bed linens could use an upgrade...But if I would definitely book this unit again as the plusses far outlay the towel lint.

Good location. But kitchen tap needs to be repaired. (leaks badly at spigot swivel). Lower handrail on stair case has a loose fitting. Main bathroom toilet paper holder fell apart.

We had a wonderful week at the Sand Dollar Cottage. It was clean and spacious - the pictures are great and everyone had their own space. The owner was very easy to deal with and very responsive to our needs - thank you so much!! :)
