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 60 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.
In the evening wander down to the beach and have a bonfire in one of the fire pits in front of the Tanglewood complex.
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.

Rathtrevor Oceanside 3 BR Townhouse
Year Purchased: 2010
Why the Owner Chose Parksville
We came for a visit and stayed in this condo complex, we loved it so much we bought one, and someday we'll retire to it.
Google puts the pin in the middle of the zip code. We are one of only two townhouses in the complex - one row of condos off the beach.

Famiy Winter visit with young children and grandparents

We had a great stay at this Rathtrevor townhouse over the winter holidays! The 3 bedrooms fit our family perfectly, the master bedroom has a really comfortable king bed, the 2nd bedroom has 2 bunk beds with the bottoms as doubles which was perfect for our 2 year old and 5 year old. The ladders were hidden away in the closet which was great, so our little adventurers couldn't make it up to the top bunks in the middle of the night. The downstairs bedroom had a nice queen bed for the grandparents to stay in with their own little bathroom. The area was nice and quiet, we were at the beach every day and built a new sandcastle each day with the plethora of sand toys provided! Even in the winter Rathtrevor is a great beach for families. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The heating was easy to control and did a great job of keeping us comfortable. I can't express how nice our stay was, we will definitely rent this condo again on subsequent trips north, it really felt like our home for a week. I highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed.
Owner response:I am happy to hear your Christmas week vacation went well! See you again! Happy New Year! Archie

We loved our stay at this condo. It was our first experience with VRBO and we enjoyed it enough to try it again in the future. The condo was clean, comfortable and had lots of amenities. We loved being able to eat 'at home' and found the kitchen well enough equipped to cook most of the things we like to eat. The stove and fridge are in good working order. We also really appreciated the owner's provision of sand toys and a wagon, which made going to the beach very convenient and fun! The condo is stretched over several floors. After parking in the garage, you go in on the main floor - there is a hallway, bedroom and bathroom. Climb the stairs to the kitchen and living room. Climb the stairs again for two bedrooms and a bathroom. For a young family this is no issue, but if you don't like stairs this might not be the unit for you. The unit's best amenity, for us, was that it was close to Rathtrevor beach. You should note that the overall picture showing the picture with a circle around the condo development in relation to Rathtrevor provincial park is slightly misleading. The condo listed here is actually not right on the beach. It is located behind the units right on the beach, so your view out most of the windows is of other units. We had inaccurately understood and thought we'd be right on the beach. Still, the unit is VERY close to the beach and it takes 30 seconds or so to walk to the beach. So - we felt very happy with the unit and really loved the beach. We loved the low tide so we could explore what was left behind - shells, clams, sea glass, sand dollars - and making sand castles. High tide was also fabulous - our children loved swimming and the water is great, because it is fairly warm on sunny days, and shallow for a long way out. Parksville's location is also great - it makes exploring other parts of Vancouver Island - or some of the other islands - easy. We loved Chemainus and Tofino and know there are lots more great places to explore. We had a great tip from the owner as well - to go to the Tuesday night market in Parksville. Loved that - as well as exploring several other markets in the area. What a great experience for my family. We'll hopefully be back!
Owner response:Hello! thanks for the feedback! I adjusted the photo that you found misleading about five times before I got what I thought worked, I'll take another stab at it. hmmm maybe I'll use the zoom in from space on google and show that yes it is in the "second row" to the Ocean show. For readers the photo in question is one that rotates through my slideshow on my website - see "Owners Site" for link. Also for readers please see "Amenities" section for all written detailed description. Welcome Woodwards anytime!

We stayed at this wonderful townhouse the first week of July. There were 7 of us in total, my husband and I, 2 sons and daughter-in-laws and our 2 1/2 year old grand daughter. The owner has aniticpated guests' every need in a very thoughtful manner and he answered all of our questions in detail prior to our arrival. We took the minute walk to Rathtrevor Beach every day and our grand daughter (and the adults too) delighted in playing with the wagon full of children's beach toys located in the main entrance closet of the condo. We loved our time on the beach playing Bocci, playing catch, flying kites, bulding sand castles, looking for shells and, of course, walking in the ocean. The water is warm and it is an absolutley fabulous beach for young children. The artist, Monk, has a studio facing the beach and when she is working, invites passer-bys to place a brush stroke on her current 'painting in progress'. My husband was fortunate enough to do so. We also enjoyed driving to Coombs (a must visit market place), to Tiger Lily Farms and playing mini golf at 2 different courses (one within walking distance). We highly recommend this vacation spot and accommodation. We walked up the beach for quite a distance and could not see any other that offered this quiet, convenient and beautiful location. The townhouse is very well maintained and sparkling clean - excellence comes to mind.. It is more spacious than pictures can show and is well designed with the 3 different levels. The view of the beach and ocean from the master balcony is astounding! We will definitely book again - a wonderful experience for all!!

We just spent 5 great nights at this townhouse and could not have been happier. From start to finish the owner was amazing....getting back to me so quickly, offering loads of information on the area and generally being great to deal with. We took our 1 year old twins on their first 'vacation' and it was a dream. The house was super easy to find with fabulous instructions provided, the house itself was clean with a great lay out. Everything was provided so with an already brimming car we didn't have to get a u-haul for the extras!! Even though the weather was intermittently good, we took the girls to the local beaches, the swimming pool, to the Cheeseworks and farm, to see the Goats on the Roof...etc etc. We would to return and have even discussed making this a yearly short trip. We highly recommend this house to anyone who requires a base to go explore or simply relax in tranquility and at arms reach to beautiful Rathtrevor Beach. Thank you Archie and your family for allowing us to have a little (much needed) break in a quiet and stunning area!
Owner response:We had a similar experience staying in this condo complex. They set a high standard to reach as an owner - so I'm glad we exceeded your expectations. The area has so much to offer for all ages and all seasons. That is actually why we bought this unit in the Tangelwood complex. It is close to everything and has a great feel to it. Anyway thanks for visiting, we hope to see you again! Archie

We had a wonderful time at the condo. Despite inclement weather, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The provided beach toys and wagon made sandcastles easier, and the location is superb. The master bed was exceptionally comfortable, and ensured a good nights sleep for parents, and there is plenty of room for the kids. The owners are very helpful and accomodating. We recommend it.
Owner response:Good to hear thanks! Come again!
