Amazing rental!

Beautiful cottage very close to a lovely beach walk. There is a market with goats on the roof that is a short drive, a must see with great prices! All 5 of us were perfectly comfortable, and the cottage has a great layout. Judy was an amazing host. One of my absolute favorite vrbos I have ever stayed in and very reasonably priced. We hope to be back and would definitely stay here again!

Parksville vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! The cottage was even better than described, it was very well stocked, the beds (especially the king) were extremely comfortable, the pool was huge and very clean and the kids swam in it everyday, the resort was quiet at night. There are so many things to do nearby. And Judy was the best hostess ever, providing any guidance we needed, and she even stopped by to say hello and give some ideas for things to do. Highly recommend!
