Rathtrevor Cottage

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.

Oceanside Resort "cottage" - Parksville, BC

Very comfortable place to stay for 6 adults. Very clean and quite well equipped. Perfect for our needs for a short, (3 day) off-season (1st week Dec.) visit. Google Maps had a little difficulty with the linked address on VRBO website but it got us close. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall it was a good stay. There were a few minor things including burnt out light bulb of overhead light in one of the bedrooms, and no place to put clothes in upstairs bedroom. We wish that we could have figired out a way to bring our paddle boards and kayak to the water

Rathtrevor Beach cottage

Overall we enjoyed the location and the space was a great size for our family. The cottage could use a really good cleaning. For example, the window sills, light fixtures and baseboards were all very dusty, crumbs under sofa and cushions. Apart from a quick wipe and sweep, it was not cleaned very well prior to our arrival if at all. The towels in the upstairs bathroom were dirty and wet. Kitchen counter was sticky and bathroom floors dirty. For having to pay a cleaning fee of $170, I was disappointed in the overall state of cleanliness.
