The property was exactly as advertised. Beautifully decorated and well stocked kitchen. Shelley was very approachable and very quick to answer back. We loved the close proximity to Rathtrevor and walked every day. We highly recommend this property.

Fabulous stay!

My husband and son stayed a week at this well stocked terrific condo. The location, layout, furnishings and attention to detail made for a fabulous time. Tanglewood is a favourite of ours to stay at, and this was a favourite unit. We will be back!

A great getaway

The house was absolutely awesome. It was so clean and equipped with everything you might need, starting with the super soft towels, the many kitchen utensils and the various beach toys. We had a great time and would love to come back someday. Thank you Shelley for making our stay such a great experience.

loved our stay!

We had a fantastic time during our stay at Shelley’s lovely home in Parksville. The home was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean, providing everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was watching the local wildlife in the mornings, from bunnies to deer, right from our windows. The location was perfect, with a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach. We appreciated the beach toys and cart provided, which made our beach trips even more enjoyable. Overall, this home offered both convenience and charm, making our vacation truly memorable. Highly recommend!

We would LOVE to have you back! You were the ideal guests! I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your time. It truly makes me so happy when someone loves our House and our location as much as we do. I believe it is truly magical. We often joke that the local wildlife are on a rotating schedule to entertain our guests. Take care, until next time!

We absolutely love the Parksville area and gravitate to Tanglewood for accommodations when we visit the Island. This unit is absolutely incredible, possibly the best appointed of all that we have stayed in (and that has been quite a few)! Everything was so clean, beds so comfortable, even the chairs and sofa invite you to sit for a much longer period of time than you plan. A little funny for you.....there is SO many things in the kitchen that it took me a while to find the can opener so if you're looking for that - it's in the drawer to the left of the sink ;) Anyway, this will DEFINITELY be our first choice if we travel without our puppies again!! xo

Peaceful and relaxing spot.

We stayed 19 days in June and July at the Tanglewood Condo. the Condo is fully stocked and conveniently located for Rathtrevor beach. We enjoyed the fact that we could spend time on the beach and then escape elements and relax at the Condo, a short 5 minutes from the beach. We stayed with 2 children age 10 and 2 and I have to say they loved the experience. When we were not at the beach they were playing in the green area at the back of the Condo. they loved the daily visits by the local deer and rabbits. My children will never forget this experience. Highly recommend this condo for young families wanting to relax and let the kids play. thank you and we will be back.

The house, the endless beach, the green space and the deer and rabbits that seem to come out on cue all combine to make this a very unique place in world. We're always glad when we have guests in that appreciate the combined qualities that make our Beach House one-of-a-kind. Thank you for your stay.

Tanglewood Stay

An absolutely wonderful place to stay while exploring Vancouver Island - perfectly located. This beautiful beach house in Tanglewood is just a couple of minutes walking to a renowned beach and Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park. You can walk for hours! The beach house is equipped with all that one needs to experience a care free vacation. They have thought of everything. We most highly recommend staying here.

Thanks for the review! We are so fortunate to have great people choose our Beach House as their home away from home. Time away really should be carefree and easy so we're always thinking of ways to improve the experience. Its always nice to hear when people appreciate our piece of tranquility. We're so glad you took advantage of the location. It's a great place for a home base to walk Rathtrevor Beach, explore the Provincial Park or to make day trips a little further afield. So happy to share.
