Such a lovely cottage, close to the beach and mini golf!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karen’s cottage. The cottage is decorated well and the kitchen is fully outfitted. It’s an easy walk to the beach and mini golf and ice cream! The beds were comfy and we all slept well. We’d definitely come back and stay here again!

Great Vacation at Hummingbird Cottage

It’s the perfect place for a family. Amenities including pool & amusement park within walking distance; shopping & restaurants, a 5-10 min drive. And of course the beach & a kids water park nearby as well. The cottage itself is immaculate & well maintained. Overall, the perfect family getaway!

Fantastic Family Getaway

This is our second family vacation at Hummingbird, and we LOVED it. Karen is easy to communicate with and her cottage is just as described. It works perfectly for our multi-generational family getaway, and the location could not be better. Already looking forward to booking next year!

Beautiful and Cozy!!!

We loved our recent stay at Karen's cottage! My husband and I, along with our two "kids" ( 21 and 23) and our little dog had a wonderful time. We had the master bedroom, our daughter took the second room and our son had the pull out sofa, it was easy peasy. The cottage had everything we needed, it was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and the perfect location. Karen was lovely to deal with, always prompt with a response to questions. Honestly, it was the perfect getaway for our family before the kids head back to University.So happy we chose it!!!

This was our first time renting thru VRBO so i didn't know what to expect. I was more than happy with this tastefully decorated property and want to return on our next visit to the Island. Karen & Merv have thought of everything a person could need during their stay at the Hummingbird cottage. Great hosts!

Great place for family getaway

This cottage was exactly as described and was the perfect place to connect with the family. Very comfortable, exceptionally clean and the jetted soaker tub was heaven. The kitchen had all the appliances and dishes we needed. We enjoyed the resort pool and fitness equipment and there were many trails to walk the dog.

Great getaway in Parksville

Excellent cottage - close to amenities and centrally located allowing us to travel easily north and south on the island. Cottage owners had a very organized and handy binder that answers all your questions about your stay. Comfortable space - indoor and out and close to beautiful Rathtrevor beach (less than 5 min drive).

Hummingbird Cottage is a lovely little space that has everything you may need during your stay. Pride of ownership and desire to offer a clean, family and pet friendly space is apparent.

About the host

Hosted by karen maycher

Host profile image
We have lived on Vancouver Island for the past fifteen years.
We were drawn to the Island by the stunning beauty, moderate climate and abundance of activities offered year round.
Time spent with family, including our two dogs is what matters the most to us and we enjoy those times especially when we are able to spend them having picnics at any one of the numerous beaches and parks in the area, kayaking or taking in one of the many festivities like beach days and the world class sandcastle competition.
We love to watch the sunset at Qualicum Beach or the Parksville Community Park beach and in the spring and summer viewing cruise ships headed to Alaska are an added bonus to the already spectacular sights of ocean and mountains and wildlife.

Why they chose this property

As we already have one cottage at the resort and enjoy it immensely, it only made sense to purchase a second cottage so that visitors could come to Vancouver Island year round and have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Vancouver Island.

What makes this property unique

Hummingbird Cottage is in a unique location in that it offers close proximity to an abundance of outdoor activities such as beach combing, whale watching, fishing, golfing and hiking to name a few as well as walking distance to restaurants, lounges and spas and very short driving distances to city amenities such as stores, banks. ice skating rinks and theatres.
