This was a lovely peaceful place. We loved our stay here and the condo was perfect for our 3 night stay. Nanoose bay is beautiful and Parksville is very close. We really enjoyed the hot tub ands use of the kayaks. We hope to be back!

My 2 year old and I stayed here for 5 nights, and had an absolutely wonderful time. We had breakfast at the outlook on the beach every morning; the pathways are lovely and she adored walking them then exploring the beach. Her highlight was the kids pool- it was perfect for her size and never very busy. I found the resort, and its guests/residents, to be incredibly child friendly. Everyone we came across seemed genuinely happy to see a little chatty toddler. Overall a very enjoyable stay!

Perfect location - feels remote and peaceful but you’re just 10 minutes from Parksville amenities. The regional parks are amazing - especially Moorecroft. Check-in was super easy, plenty of parking and the pool/hot tub are a very short walk away. Host was super sweet sending a text to ensure everything went smoothly. Even left some snacks upon arrival, which were appreciated after travel that day. Only downside was that the view from this smaller studio suite isn’t great, but I still enjoyed the deck. My dog Henry LOVED the La-Z-Boy lol! Bed was comfy and sheets were fabulous. Ceiling just needs a little cleaning for some cobwebs in the corners. Would go back in an instant and have recommended to friends and colleagues.

We really enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to friends. Things we enjoyed: Comfy bed / bedding Light blocking curtains Quiet unit Lots of amenities Elevator Plenty of parking Pet friendly Small notes: There is no A/C, so we did personally find it a bit warm/stuffy in the room. We slept with the patio door open for some cool air, used the in-room fan, and kept the curtains closed on the sunnier side. There must have been a very fluffy dog in the room before us. The curtains had quite a bit of dog hair build up on them which transferred to anything that touched them.

Comfy bed in an end unit

It's a well-situated end unit, so we only shared a wall on one side. The king bed was super comfy, the balcony was relatively private, and we appreciated the extra kitchen items (for a unit with no kitchen) like toaster, cutting board and utensils. Thanks for the stay!

Condo Vacation

When we arrived the condo was immaculate and as advertised. Great location close to Parksville but away from the hustle and bustle. We goofed when trying to lock our unit despite the owners clear video instructions and the lock timed out after too many tries. Greg fixed the problem within minutes. We look forward to our next stay in this unit.

Would come back again and again

The property was just as advertised. Perhaps even roomier than expected. The unit is separate from the main building so it didn’t feel like a hotel, however you had all the perks of a resort. The unit is right next to the beach access so it was easy to get to and the noise from passersby was limited. Although you are on the side of the building not over facing the water by here was still a nice view Very laid back and easy atmosphere. The main building was also close for pool and gym or testauryvisits The property owner was incredibly attentive We loved it and would come back again

Best getaway at the island

This was a cozy and comfortable spot to stay at and we wished we were there longer. It was unfortunate that the pool was not in service but we hit the right day to go kayaking and my daughter really enjoyed the small pool/hot tub area. Thanks to Greg for quickly responding to all of my questions. We checked to make we weren’t leaving anything behind and under the bed is quite dusty, just a note ahead of the next visitors. We’ll reach out again next time we’re coming this way. Thank you :)
