An exceptionally well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly need for a vacation stay. Quiet location with great trails for walking and biking. Very close to Rathtrevor Provincial Park, practically across the street. Close to Parksville and all of the town's amenities. Karen was wonderfully easy to communicate with and responded to all my questions. Lucky us, we had exceptional weather too in which to enjoy the area.

About the host

Hosted by karen maycher

Host profile image
We have lived on Vancouver Island for the past fifteen years.
We were drawn to the Island by the stunning beauty, moderate climate and abundance of activities offered year round.
Time spent with family, including our two dogs is what matters the most to us and we enjoy those times especially when we are able to spend them having picnics at any one of the numerous beaches and parks in the area, kayaking or taking in one of the many festivities like beach days and the world class sandcastle competition.
We love to watch the sunset at Qualicum Beach or the Parksville Community Park beach and in the spring and summer viewing cruise ships headed to Alaska are an added bonus to the already spectacular sights of ocean and mountains and wildlife.

Why they chose this property

As we already have one cottage at the resort and enjoy it immensely, it only made sense to purchase a second cottage so that visitors could come to Vancouver Island year round and have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Vancouver Island.

What makes this property unique

Hummingbird Cottage is in a unique location in that it offers close proximity to an abundance of outdoor activities such as beach combing, whale watching, fishing, golfing and hiking to name a few as well as walking distance to restaurants, lounges and spas and very short driving distances to city amenities such as stores, banks. ice skating rinks and theatres.
