Unit 1 3-bdrm Daily/Monthly Rates Available

PaulineRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Our family really enjoyed our stay here! It's a spacious unit with a beautiful, sleek interior design and amazing kitchen. The beach and a big playground is nearby as well. The only issue was that the wifi got progressively weaker further into the unit, and the two bedrooms furthest from the living room could not connect at all. Highly recommended for families!

Beachfront Condo: Whale Watching & Cruise Ships

SharonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside rental! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and welcoming the space felt. The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking — we spent every morning with a coffee on the deck, watching the waves roll in. Beach access was just steps away, making it easy to enjoy long walks, swims, and sunsets without ever needing to get in the car. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, providing helpful local tips and ensuring we felt at home. Every detail — from the cozy linens to the thoughtfully stocked kitchen — made it clear they truly care about their guests’ experience. This place is a gem. We left feeling rested, refreshed, and already dreaming about our return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful escape by the sea.

Haven By The Sea - 1BDRM Ocean Front - New Reno AC

IanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay at Randy and Barb’s condo. The condo was very clean, tasteful and roomy. It was equipped with everything we needed!! The resort had many desirable amenities including exercise room, pool and a good restaurant and lounge. We communicated with Randy a few times and he was always responsive, prompt and helpful. It was very apparent that the quality of our stay was very important to Randy and Barb. We really appreciated that. We highly recommend this listing!!

#21 House in resort pool + hottub + ocean & beach

FaithRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We enjoyed our stay. The airbnb was spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. We were in Parksville awaiting the birth of our grandson so it was a nice place to pass the time until baby's arrival. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals, the area has lots of nice walking trails, we enjoyed using the hot tub and the view from our unit was a nice surprise.

Cozy west facing waterfront home with dock

CaitlinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The view and private dock are worth the visit! The pics don’t do it justice. Lots of room for everyone with 4 queen beds and a basement room with 4 twin beds.

TIDAL DANCE: "A lovely bit of Paradise"

PatrickRating, 5 stars10 months ago
The place and location was amazing. Everything was perfect. The outside eating area with BBQ was better than expected/realized. The entire place looked newly renovated. The bay was great - just plan your water activities there according to the tide, because at low tide there is no water. Great location travelling to Madeira Park and Sechelt or beyond. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

Nanaimo's best waterfront! 2 bedroom , 2 bath

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

Sunset Ocean Place

JuanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Lindsay's beachfront property. The location is truly unbeatable—nestled right on the coast, with breathtaking ocean views that can be enjoyed both inside and out. Inside, the property is just as impressive. It's thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

Shorewater Resort- Exclusive Beachfront

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A beautiful, serene little place, right on the waterfront. It had everything I could have needed (I wasn't really planning to cook for myself but if I'd wanted to, the kitchen was fully equipped). I was looking for quiet few days for a solo retreat and reflection time, and Cheryl's place was ideal. Right on the waterfront, tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy gazing at the ocean (some bunnies came by to visit), and a beautiful, majestic eagle kept watch over me while I was there. I heard but was not quite lucky enough to see a sea lion barking at the water's edge, and there were graceful herons taking flight and landing. I recommend the schnitzel Haus conveniently located across the street because I practically waddled back home, it was so filling and delicious. The unit was just as described, clean, comfortable, a perfect getaway. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Parksville Rathtrevor Beach & Pool ONE bedroom

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a perfect place to stay while we were visiting Vancouver Island. The location made it easy to explore other areas of the Island as a day trip. The condo itself is situated right across from the pool and hot tub as well as the beach trail which we were able to enjoy while we were staying. Overall, the condo is equipped with everything you need to have a pleasant stay and the host was easy to contact and responded quickly. I would recommend this airbnb!

Casa Sunrise -Sleeps 8 - Pool - Hot Tub - Gym

ShandaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
**5-Star Review for an Unforgettable Airbnb Stay in Parksville** Our recent stay at casa sunrise in Parksville was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm and comfort of this beautifully designed home. The space itself was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. The open-concept living area was bright and airy. The kitchen was fully equipped. The outdoor area was a highlight—sipping morning coffee on the deck was pure bliss.

High Tide Suite: New Ocean Front w/ Spa-like Bath

VesselinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful apartment with a really nice unobstructed sea view. Everything just like in the photos, clean and lots of natural light. I really enjoyed the beautiful bathroom…very nicely done. The bed is huge and very comfy as well. The view from the rooms and balconies is exceptional and really lovely. The whole property is really nice and well maintained. Especially enjoyed the bbq areas and fireplaces in the common areas. Communication was very good and check in instructions easy and clear. Overall we had a lovely stay and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the sea and nature of Vancouver Island. You would definitely need a car there, as there is not so much to do in a walking distance. Closes town is approx. 5 - 10 min. Drive. Ferry in Nanaimo about 20-30 minutes. Very convenient!
