Comfortable space, good location. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes/ utensils. Had everything we needed. Third “bedroom” is upstairs in a loft with no door and large open area in wall overlooking the downstairs. Beds were soft. A bit of a walk to the pool.

Great layout/space for family/extended family! Loved the gated front and back porches for little ones/pets. We really did enjoy our stay here, Parksville is such a fabulous summer get away. I only gave four stars because this VRBO could use a touch more hostess lovin' compared to the many others we've stayed in - no hand towels, broken lamp in living room and another couldn't turn on (maybe it was user error? lol!) only one key (two for a house of people would be helpful!) and dirty grills with cooked on food on the BBQ (which we cleaned as best as we could before and after using) . Kitchen was pretty bare boned supplied for dry goods (Bring your own oil. No seasonings/ aluminum foil/ saran wrap/ tea/ sugar for coffee/ napkins etc.) and its probably time to replace those old stained cutting boards. Bathrooms- be sure to bring your own shampoo and conditioner (body wash is kindly provided). Can hear the traffic, so if you need to sleep with the windows open, just a heads up (no A/C). We were lucky, it wasn't too hot when we were there!

Three generations enjoyed the cabin immensely!Plenty of room on the decks, the open space inside and the well equipped kitchen. Just a couple minutes drive to the massive beach or a short walk through the public access point at Ti-Na-Mara. Our host was very attentive as well.

Second time staying in this unit, love it. Decently equipped with everything you need. Could use a nice deep spring cleaning but in all honesty it’s not filthy and for the price everything is incredible. Don’t see it available for next summer which is sad.
