We certainly enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed.A couple of things. The picture showing access to the beach was unfortunate. It is why I chose your place because my sister uses a walker. She was very happy to see access was easy but it was not as the hill was prohibitive and we thought the path was right outside the door. It was really hard for her to navigate so had to find other beaches.Rooms were relatively clean. No body soap in one bathroom and none under sink. The fridge could use a good clean and open jars removed. Butter and half used packages of food was inappropriate. These things don’t bother us too much but one doesn’t know how long food has been there. Kitchen well equipped.Thanks.All

Host was very accommodating ng and welcoming. Beautiful vaulted ceiling great for filling and listening to music and eating on the patio. Good for families and children and easy walking distance to beach.Hosted a dog one day and he had lots of room to play fetch outside and walk on a leash on Rathtrevor trails. mini golf and ice cream went to the beach twice a day high tide and lowIt was a great place for walkability.

5 starsWe really enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway! The space was comfortable and had everything we needed for both day-to-day living and beach outings. The outdoor area was a real highlight; peaceful and private, with a BBQ and a lovely view of the forest. We even spotted deer and bunnies right outside, which made it feel extra special. Would definitely stay again!

Family get away

4 adults, 2 pets. And 3 kids. It was bice to stay in parksville and enjoy the beach, mini golf and bumper cars. The condo kitchen has all supplies necessary for cooking we ended up eating all our meals there. No AC was the only downfall, as it was very hot, there are fans and we brought a big fan from home. Short walk to the beach and lots of toys and games for the kids. Grandkids loved the giant tub! Would stay again.

Perfect parksville getaway

This was such a lovely property to stay at. Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings. It's approx 400m walk down to the ocean and you walk right onto sand. The grassy backyard is shared with other vacationi properties but backs right onto the wooded area of Rathrevor Park and feels quite private. We loved our stay and the hosts were very reachable and responsive.

Forest Escape Near the Beach – A Real Gem!

Our stay in the townhouse nestled in the forest was absolutely gorgeous. The location was peaceful and private, with just a short and easy walk to the beach and Rathtrevor Park. The setting was truly stunning—like being tucked into a little slice of West Coast paradise. It was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. One of the biggest highlights for us was how pet-friendly everything was—our fur baby was welcomed and had just as much fun as we did. Such a wonderful getaway for nature lovers and pet parents alike. Highly recommend!
