Everything we hoped for
Joanne's place was perfect. It is a beautiful property, close to the beach, with everything you could need, spices in the kitchen, toys and coloring things for the kids. We used the wagon and sand toys every time we went to the beach! We would stay again and highly recommend it.

Wish We'd Planned to Stay Longer!
This was the best equipped accomodation we've ever rented. Douglas and Joanne have a lovely home with everything you will need for a comfortable stay from a coffee grinder to bicycles and helmets! We appreciated the comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms, recliners in the living room, the fireplace, . . . we could go on and on. We hope to come back soon.

Love this condo
This is one of our favourite condo’s to stay in Tanglewood. The owners are fantastic to deal with and it is so fully stocked we can make wonderful meals. My son was thrilled to be able to bike around the area (thanks to the three bikes on site) and my daughter loves the reading nook by the fireplace, where we saw several deer go by. Great location to walk to the beach, the black goose inn or over to the grotto spa. Of course we will be back.

Great place near the beach
We had a great long weekend here. We really appreciated that every kitchen gadget, spices, supplies, etc were provided, the three bedrooms work really well for the 4 of us, and we enjoyed lots of time on the beach, and almost as much time at the equally nearby minigolf & bumper cars. Thanks folks!

Parksville vacation house
Very well-appointed property! Our family loved our stay here. The only thing that was challenging was the lack of storage in the downstairs bedroom. Even some hooks on a wall would help with that. Otherwise, it was the perfect vacation rental.

Perfect family spot
Thank you so much for this gem of a home away from home. The owners have truly stocked it with everything you could need while away! It’s the perfect location to take day trips or just hang out beachcombing. We loved walking to the mini golf with our 4 year old five minutes one way or to the ocean 5 minutes other way. We will be back!

HOME away from HOME
We just returned from spending the winter in this beautiful condo. Everything you could ever want is provided and more. The owners were wonderful to deal with before and during our entire 3 month stay. The location is excellent to get any place in Parksville and provides a short drive to Nanaimo ~ shopping mall, theatre and many wonderful dining options. We will certainly return on any future trips to the Island.
