Great stay in Parksville.

We loved our stay in Parksville. The house was equipped with everything we needed (the kitchen was especially well stocked) and was located centrally, a short drive to many beaches and other attractions. It was lovely to relax in the beautiful backyard after a day exploring! We met one of the hosts at check-in, and she was so very kind to show us around. Would love to come back someday and highly recommend the place to others.

Homey, comfortable - stay here if you're in the Parksville area!

I can't say enough about this property and the owners - they obviously care about the people who stay in their house. Little notes everywhere telling us exactly where to find things and what to do - so appreciated. The house itself is really comfortable, super-clean and I've never been in a VRBO that was so well-stocked! They even left us a little gift. The back yard is so peaceful and the gardens are lovely (even though we were there after most of the blooming was over). The location was great for visiting the local sites and beaches. Really - the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in - if I could give ten stars, I would.

Great place

The house was as advertised with great beds, a fully stocked kitchen and comfprtable living space. the owner was extremely communicative and helpful. We were there during the 'freeze' and there were extra blankets out (which we didn't need as the house was warm) and they took the time to salt the driveway for us Would absolutely stay there again. Well deserving of a 5 star rating.

Terrific Home away from Home

We (two adults, one dog) had a fabulous stay at this property. It’s very comfortable, clean and welcoming with everything you need and a few extra touches that show the hosts really care about your stay. The yard is lovely - very secure and private with lots of room for our dog. There are no stairs anywhere which was a bonus for our dog who is older and arthritic. The yard also has a covered area with seating which is perfect for those days that are rainy but still warm enough to sit outside. Communication was great, Karina was very responsive and super friendly. The property is now one of our go-tos when visiting the area.

Parksville Paradise

The host made our life extremely easy and worry free, prior to and during our stay. The house was ideally located, off the main highway for a quiet/secluded oasis, yet close to all attraxtions, parks, etc. The house setup was great as the bedrooms were remote from the kitchen/living room so people could sleep uninterrupted while others were making food, playing games or watching TV. The only negative was the size of the 3rd bedroom which is quite small for an adult couple.

Parksville

It was an absolute delight to be welcomed into Karina and Ralna’s Parksville home. From booking to check-out our experience was seamless. We had everything that we needed for our stay and more, and the welcoming note and bowl of filtered water for our pup was very happily downed after a long car ride. (The chilled Sauvignon Blanc was also gratefully received😁). The home is impeccable, beds are comfortable and the kitchen well appointed for making gourmet dinners. The beautiful garden with blooming heather and rhodos was an unexpected treat for our morning tea and is fenced in to give us peace of mind for the pup. After years of staying in overpriced hotels in the area, we have decided this is our new home away from home. Thank you Karina and Ralna. Can’t wait to return!
