Overall Mermaid Cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much.The outside decking area was a bit shady but when it's really hot that could be a bonus.

Nye getaway on Vancouver Island.
Close proximity to the ocean, hot tub and pool on premises (pool could have been warmer but wasn't a deal breaker for the kids) each room setup with TV and all streaming options. Good wifi and a nespresso! Wonderful place, good price. Would stay again

lovely clean and convenient
This is our 4th year staying at this resort and this cottage was definitely one of the cleanest and well decorated. Loved the fenced backyard as well. All the amenities were great. Just need to remember to bring our own cooking oil in the future.

Parksville Vacation
Great location. We were there during a heat wave so we truly would have loved air conditioning, but did appreciate the fans in every bedroom. The pool was nice as the water was on the cooler side so felt very refreshing. The cottage accommodated our family very nicely and we had a wonderful time.

Wonderful Family Holiday
We had a fantastic time at this rental cabin! It was the perfect layout and setup for our family of 4 with two young kids. We love this resort, the location and amenities. The pros: -the interior of the cabin was very clean and check-in was smooth and easy -the cabin was well stocked with supplies -floorplan was great -close to pool The cons: - The back deck area could use some love (railing, more landscaping, and cleaning - we had to wash it down and sweep upon arrival) - TV in the living room needs updating, it's a very old unit with a DVD player built in (DVD player didn't work for us though) - King bed is rock hard, not ideal for us Overall, we had a wonderful time and would happily stay again! Thank you!

Staying in the Mermaid Cottage
My wife and I (from Regina) winter in Parkskville every January & February for the past 6 years. We always stay at Oceanside Village Resort. We usually rent our cottage (which is the same as The Mermaid Cottage) from the resort when we do our snow birding. My wife had surgery in late December and we had to cancel our usual stay. We picked an open time in early April to early May that was open at the Mermaid Cottage. It is a wonderful unit. The loft, which is usually open in most Cypress units is enclosed. This was fantastic as our daughter was coming to visit us with her significant other (who is from Ottawa and a first time visitor to the island) and stayed in this bedroom giving them extra privacy. Our son had the front bedroom and we the master bedroom. We did not use the sofa, but it, too could be opened into a bed. I especially enjoyed the 2 reclining chairs with footrests. All of our family was impressed with this cottage. The access to the swimming pool, hot tub/sauna and small work out are is easy and very close. Some of my highlights were - all the kitchen utensils (dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, plates were like brand new. I was impressed that all the cutting knives in the cutting block were sharp. It is a new natural gas BBQ with a side burner (no propane bottle to worry about) and the gas was turned on already. The decor is very nice. We had a fantastic stay. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Dahlia.
