Amazing!

Our recent stay at Hummingbird Cottage, Oceanside Village Resort in Parksville from April 18-22 was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the pristine cleanliness of the cottage and the peaceful property!The cottage was incredibly cozy, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the biggest highlights was the outrageously peaceful and quiet surroundings, offering the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing getaway.We were thoroughly impressed with the owners attention to detail in maintaining such a clean environment, and the amenities catered perfectly to all our needs. It was the ideal escape, blending comfort, tranquility, and convenience seamlessly.Without a doubt, we rate our stay a perfect 10/10. Oceanside Village Resort is a gem in Parksville, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable retreat!

The Perfect Family Getaway

We loved everything about our stay. The cottage was spotless and was located in a beautiful, quiet community. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Our kids loved the mini golf course and swimming in the pool. Rathtrevor Beach was just a short drive away. Karen was a wonderful host and provided detailed instructions that made check-in super easy.

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!

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!!!

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!

Good location and clean rooms, we had a great time until a man showed up

We were having a great stay at this lovely property until there was a disturbing incident. On Thursday evening a man drove up in a pick-up, parked across the front of the driveway blocking both cars in, and stormed over to the house where my son and I were chatting near the car. He was clearly angry and without any introduction shouted to my son "What's going on?" We were just chatting, so my son asked him what he meant and again this angry man shouted "What is going on here?" I stepped in and asked what the problem was and again he shouted "What is going on here, why don't you just answer?" Realizing he was looking at our electric vehicle which was plugged into the regular 110V outlet. I explained that we have our car charging. He then told us that he was the owner of the house and why didn't we answer when asked what we were doing. It became clear that he had never seen an electric vehicle charging, so I explained and offered to show him how it worked but he refused to see it. He said that he did not know about this that there would be an extra charge and that we should have asked permission. So I offered to remove it and charge it elsewhere, but this man recognizing that nothing 'bad' was happening reiterated that we should have asked before plugging in a car and then left. He did not introduce himself or apologize. My wife and daughter were very upset at this interaction.
