A bright, well furnished, clean and open unit. The kitchen was very well equipped. The children loved the pool and hot tub. Only a few minutes drive to either Rathtrevor Beach or Parksville Community Park and Beach (perfect for the kids). The only thing that would have made it even better would have been if it had been more walkable to beaches, shops etc.

The condo is on the great location, walkable to several trail entrances and close to the Nanoose Bay. The unit A has a good view of the bay too. Both A & B are clean and comfortable with all necessary appliances on site. We really enjoyed the stay.

Wonderful location and condo

Really clean and updated condo with 2 king beds and a single pull out which made our stay with our 3 kids work really well. The pathways by the ocean below were awesome to go for a walk as well as looking for shells. Was awesome to watch the tide come in and go out each day, very picturesque spot!

Fantastic island getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Retreat. The view of the estuary from the patio was beautiful for both morning coffee and evening sunsets. The rooms were spacious and well appointed and our family quickly made it a home away from home. Communication with the property manager was quick and professional. We'd highly recommend the property and would stay again!

Great stay in nature

Had an amazing time staying here for three months with my wife and dogs. Dahlia was an incredible host, even responding immediately when we had questions on new years day. Great trails right outside your door, views are even better than the photos, bed was comfy, pool was heated with hottub and sauna, kitchen well equipped and spacious rooms with all the furnishings. Many great trails within 5 minute drive. Would absolutely stay again!

Loved the adjoining rooms for my wife and I, and my parents. Very clean! Beds were very comfortable. And we appreciated the high degree of pet friendliness. The setting was tranquil in September, and the magical tidal pools and nature trails (with waterfall) were wonderful. Unit is tastefully decorated with new furnishings. Fully equipped kitchen (with three coffee makers including k-cups) is great and the view from Unit A is lovely. No AC with higher summer temps could be trouble for some guests, but fans helped. We found the property staff to generally be unfriendly, except for the restaurant (which was great!) A little heavy for my liking on all the rules with signs everywhere using many words to tell you what you can’t do, including the welcome binder in the room and detailed instructions for cleaning before departure. The B unit soaker jet tub was very nice but the showerhead could use an upgrade. More comfortable deck chairs would be appreciated. The property amenities are quite nice, especially the outdoor hot tub with a “grotto” design and feel. We would consider returning if there was a special deal or discount offered. At nearly double what we’d normally pay (with all the fees etc) this was a very special treat for our family.

Great place to stay near Parksville.

Loved the location. The rooms were spacious and comfortable especially with the extra offside room. There were 6 of us (4 adult and 2 children). Loved the pool and hot tub and the kids pool outside. The grounds were really nice as well and being right on the ocean was wonderful. It was very hot while we were there and we had to have the stand fans going all night to stay reasonably cool, but that worked. The host was very responsive to any issues. We stayed 14 days and would definitely go back.

Lovely stay

We love Pacific Shores and this is our third stay at the resort and first at this rental. The unit was extremely clean and nicely laid out. Be aware that due to the age of the building you can hear water running in the bathroom when the neighbours run a bath or shower and it can seem a little loud at night. We stayed there with our young kids and I think our footsteps were too loud for the neighbours below. As a top floor suite, I do not recommend this for a loud family like ours. Otherwise the suite is lovely and has an incredible view of the estuary and sunset.
