Loved this property - Christa was great to communicate with! The kitchen was stocked with all the little essentials you didn’t think you would need - and the resort pool was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway

We had such a wonderful stay! They had everything you need and more to feel completely at home. Loved the decor, beds were comfy, and lived the special treats to welcome us! Location was perfect. The kids loved it especially the pool! We’ll definitely be back, hopefully in the summer! Thanks Bill & Christa

Nice property - could use work on the follow through

The unit has a really lovely aesthetic and was super clean. It was loaded with really lovely personal touches that made it feel as if it was owned, loved and decorated as a personal home rather than a sterile investment. However the oven didn't work, the lock on the bathroom didn't work, the barbecue barely worked, and probably most importantly, the host was a half hour late in sending us the access code to the door. We called and messaged her repeatedly with no answer.The whole family sat in the car wondering if we should drive back home or try to find an alternate location to stay. All of which could have been an honest mistake. Except, when we did finally reach her, she was not even particularly apologetic about the whole thing, blaming VRBO for the mistake. (It was not VRBO's mistake.) I later wrote her regarding the oven and never received a response. The unit would be very nice if everything was in working order. And even with the issues, the location and home are really wonderful. But it might be better to try one of the other units in the complex until they work out the repairs for their unit and engage in the rental process with a bit more seriousness.

This is very pretty cottage in a suburb of Parksville. We were impressed with the decor, but after paying 150 cleaning fee we were surprised to be asked to wipe down surfaces and place garbage in another location. Also, after stripping the bed in the front bedroom I saw the mattress cover i had been sleeping on, stained from previous use...perhaps by a honeymoon couple.

The place was mostly clean with a few small things wrong. The host was polite and got back to me right away. The only things I would count against the cottage would be the lack of air conditioning or fans in the bedrooms, there was 1 small table fan for everyone so it got pretty hot and hard to sleep. There weren’t tvs in any of the bedrooms which I thought was a bit weird as most places you stay have them and the second bedroom had no furniture or place to put your clothes or even room to lay out our suitcase. These are all fairly minor things but all together I thought it deserved 4 stars. I would have given 4.5 if I could give half stars. Also the cottages are really close together so we could hear the people talking next to us on the patio and the patio furniture didn’t have any cushions so it was really uncomfortable.
