Great place for an extended family trip! Location was amazing with the beach access right there. Kids hot tub/pools and playground was an extra bonus. Kitchen was well stocked and we didn’t feel anything was lacking! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and created a few family memories.
The unit exceeded our expectations. Lots of room for six adults and four pre-teens. The location was stunning, right on the beach. The kids didn’t leave the property the whole time, other than to walk along the beach. And didn’t want to leave when it was time to check out. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes and pots - we had brought our own just in case! Thanks to Gary and his family for sharing it with us. It is a special place.
Perfect, location, facilities. Bedroom suites, great family area, kitchen with the views. Clean, comfortable nice outdoor area. Could not ask for more!
Glorious location with superb view. Loved the amenities and proximity to trail. Place is a bit tired looking with missing shelf in fridge, no included soaps and shampoos, and badly stained carpet. But still perfect for family vacation
Beautiful home, spacious, and well located to all of our adventures. The property manager was helpful with anything we needed during our stay. The grill was great to have and we loved the resort hot tub complex. The bay is fun to explore at low tide. We would stay here again.

Thank for taking the time and leaving a positive review.
I hope you can come again. Gary
The house was great! Plenty of space for our family trip with 3 families and it included everything we needed. Great location right on the beach and easy access to Qualicum Beach and Parksville.
What a beautiful rental. It was easy to find and it is such a nice house. It had everything we needed and steps away from the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!
Plenty of room for nine adults. Location is great with some nice trails from right in front of the property. Great communication with Gary. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy the pace with our family!!!
Beautiful location and access to the ocean. Fire pits on a deck overlooking the water. Peaceful. Unit was spacious and inviting. Amenities for the resort although accessible rather costly for a young family 25 per adult. Not these owners issue just a comment for reference.
Beautiful house, very spacious, and clean, great location. The host was great, very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Gary McElroy
We live in New Zealand and bought the place from our great friends so that we could carry on a tradition of our annual summer family holiday's. I had 2 younge girls who just loved exploring for crabs and shells on the beach. It's one of the best parts of their year and they have it planned months in advance.
Why they chose this property
Though we were best mates whilst I lived in the UK, the family that we bought it from are very much seen as our extended family. It's a great place to build happy memories.
What makes this property unique
Pacific Shores Resort is a great location for a holiday or a break-away. We have one of the best units, certainly the largest, and likely the best views.
