An Amazing Rental

This is a great choice for both a scenic and peaceful getaway! The suite is very comfortable and exceedingly well-furnished with everything necessary and more. It is really terrific to be so close to the waterfront and to have such great views form the deck. The owners generously allow access to the sitting area near the water. The resource binder is chock full of pertinent information and very clear instructions for a stay. Signage throughout the suite makes life so easy when looking for something or wondering how to handle things like recycling, laundry, etc. Very close to activities like visiting Nanaimo, The Old Country Market in Coombs, beach walks, etc. Definitely a place to return to.

We loved it the moment we opened the front door!

Wow, what an amazing home right on the water! We enjoyed everything about this place, the location, the views, the layout, the cleanliness, the amenities of the resort and the quiet, peaceful surroundings. We would definitely return to this very unit if we are in the area again. Thank you!

Pacific Shores Resort - Creekside Suites - Top Floor Fantastic Ocean View!

Premier Host

Stellar view! Beautiful & functional condo.

This property met all our expectations - beautifully furnished, luxury bedding, fully stocked with kitchen appliances, etc. The host is super responsive and friendly. But nothing beats the view over the creek and bay: around the summer solstice, sunsets go on for hours. We hope to return someday soon!

Quiet, beautiful view from the resort.

Although the apartment is below land surface the lighting installed is fantastic allowing bright light everywhere within. A top job compensating for this. Sliding glass doors open to a partially covered patio allow natural light. Wonderful small kitchen well stocked with eating and cooking supplies.An elevation enhances the resort and I was impressed with the rock mount and interesting worn rock In the bay which can be explored.

Parksville getaway

This ground floor condo in beautiful Pacific Shores resort is fantastic. It faces the estuary at the quiet end of the resort. The king sized bed was super comfy. The kitchen is fully stocked, the living room is very cozy with a lovely fireplace. I used the gym, pool, and hottub at the resort, all of which are a 2 minute walk from the unit. There are great walking trails at the resort, and easy access to Rathtrevor Beach. We loved our stay here!

Sanctuary

Our plans changed and we needed to book something on Vancouver Island later than I usually would. Fortunately, this wonderful property was still available. If you are lucky enough to have your dates available, book it now. Secluded, quiet, and in an idyllic setting, this is the perfect base for exploring the island, or just decompressing on property. A few steps from the cabin is a waterfront patio all to yourself, providing a tranquil place to start and end the day. The cabin itself is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and well stocked. The king bed is comfortable. The linens plush. You couldn't possibly use all the towels provided. The hostess is fantastic: friendly and informative, but is invisible unless you need something. We had a great time here, and if we return, we'll book this property again.
