Great Island Getaway

Really enjoyed our stay here! Everything was clean and new, and the beds were quite comfortable. It was nice to have the option of AC during the summer. Definitely would consider booking again if I visit the Parksville area again.

Host for this property was very nice. Good communication. Ease of checkin in & out. Clean new townhouse with all amenities. One thing, wish that check out would be 12-1pm. 10 am was little too early if trying to have a relaxed weekend.

Immaculate condo stocked with everything you could possibly require! Little details (i.e. phone charging stations, dog bowls) make you feel right at home! Exceptionally clean and great location, close to the pool/hot tub and the beach. Walking distance to a great little coffee house as well! Would highly recommend and return in a heartbeat.

The place is nice, hosts are highly accommodating however the "additional " fees took a 188.00 per night listing and pushed it to a 316.00 night booking. This is not a 300.00 per night stay.

Great brand new condo with all the amenities needed. Beds are comfy and plenty of towels are provided. Extra blankets and pillows are provided along with shampoo etc. Nice warm pool and the grounds are well maintained. Beach access leads to rocky area when the tide is out otherwise use the pathways for neighbouring properties to reach the sandy beach. Great restaurant/bar Cedars next door makes for nice meals & takeout. Serious coffee is a wonderful cafe within walking distance and has lots of breakfast/ lunch food. I appreciated the wagon for hauling things to the beach. Designated smoking and pet relief areas throughout and overall a lovely property.

Sunrise Ridge

Definitely home away from home for us! Everything we needed. Beds/pillows/towels lovely!! We loved the decor and furnishings. A beautiful place to come back to after a day of adventure. Only downside was the rumbling of the machinery while tarmacking. It is a new place and we were warned about construction. It is meticulous and we would love to return in the future. Thank you for such a lovely VRBO.

Beautiful condo, fantastic location but beware of additional charges

The condo is lovely, excellent condition, clean and a great spot to enjoy. We didn't sleep well the first night as the beds had a 2-in thick pad over the mattress for additional softness. Lots of people like this I'm sure, but we just find it too soft. The one thing that caught us off guard was the additional charges, which nearly doubled the daily rate for the rental. For a group that is interested in cooking within the condo, this would be a great option, but probably not a good choice for two people if the plan is to mainly eat in restaurants.

Sorry you felt the beds were uncomfortable, that is a first for us. We have had nothing but compliments on how comfortable they are. The cleaning fee, taxes and VRBO fee were all disclosed before you booked the place. You could have cancelled with no penalty but chose to message two hours before check in and complain about it, this was also a first for us. Thanks for staying and your welcome back anytime.

About the host

Hosted by Derek Bissell

Host profile image
Hello, I am Derek. I will be your main contact during your stay at our property. I live not far away so if you have any issues, I am only a few minutes away.

I am the proud father of 3 beautiful little girls and the husband of a very beautiful wife (I expect at some point of time she will read this, Brownie Points!) We moved to Vancouver Island and really fell in love with the area and have no plans to leave. The island has lots of beautiful areas to explore and we take advantage of it. As my kids are still young and want to hang out with me we do a lot of camping and beach days in the summer and skiing in the winter.

We love to travel and like to stay in nice places when we do. We also think you deserve the same as we would expect so our places are all very clean, safe,modern and well stocked so your stay is exceptional.

Why they chose this property

Parksville is home too many great resorts and Sunrise Ridge is one of the newest. There is a nice outdoor pool for the kids to enjoy in the summer and a hot tub and gym for the adults to use while watching them. The townhouse is new, modern and very comfortable, everything you will need is there.
