Loved this property - Christa was great to communicate with! The kitchen was stocked with all the little essentials you didn’t think you would need - and the resort pool was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway

We had such a wonderful stay! They had everything you need and more to feel completely at home. Loved the decor, beds were comfy, and lived the special treats to welcome us! Location was perfect. The kids loved it especially the pool! We’ll definitely be back, hopefully in the summer! Thanks Bill & Christa

Nice property - could use work on the follow through

The unit has a really lovely aesthetic and was super clean. It was loaded with really lovely personal touches that made it feel as if it was owned, loved and decorated as a personal home rather than a sterile investment. However the oven didn't work, the lock on the bathroom didn't work, the barbecue barely worked, and probably most importantly, the host was a half hour late in sending us the access code to the door. We called and messaged her repeatedly with no answer.The whole family sat in the car wondering if we should drive back home or try to find an alternate location to stay. All of which could have been an honest mistake. Except, when we did finally reach her, she was not even particularly apologetic about the whole thing, blaming VRBO for the mistake. (It was not VRBO's mistake.) I later wrote her regarding the oven and never received a response. The unit would be very nice if everything was in working order. And even with the issues, the location and home are really wonderful. But it might be better to try one of the other units in the complex until they work out the repairs for their unit and engage in the rental process with a bit more seriousness.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is so close to all the wonderful amenities available both along resort drive and such a short distance to Parksville. Morning walks along Rathtrevor beach with the tide out are one of our favorite activities. There is so much to explore including hikes to top bridge, golf and swimming. Everyday is a wonderful adventure.

What makes this property unique

The amenities such as the pool, mini golf and proximity to the beach make this a wonderful unique place to stay. Our cottage is spacious and yet cozy.
