We love this home away from home. There were so many things that made it comfortable! The place was so well outfitted! We hope to go back next year at the same time!
The quiet townhouse nestled among the trees, a short walk to the amazing Rathtrevor Beach, equals a perfect holiday. The home has a full compliment kitchen with an icemaker! A lovely gas fireplace and very comfortable beds, even bikes to explore a little further if you felt so inclined. Thank you for sharing your island home with us.
Joanne and Doug's beach house is a beautiful place to stay. It accommodated all six of us comfortably; it was beautifully clean and a very restful place to be; and the back patio was the perfect place to enjoy some peace and a good book! We loved it there.
Thank you Joanne and Doug for a lovely holiday!
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.
My husband loved his stay in this immaculate townhouse. Tanglewood is always a favourite resort, and this unit was exceptionally clean and well equipped.
We booked this beautiful property to be home base for our son’s wedding at Rathtrevor Park. We cooked a huge meal for 25 people (we hosted at the park) and kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed.
The rooms were perfect for us and everyone had their space. We had an amazing time together The beach is so close and the park is gorgeous. So glad we chose to stay here!
Much better than I expected. If I had known I would not have packed so much!Had a great time with the kids on the beach. Went to Coombs... but didn't see any goats on the roof. Are they no longer?Homeowners really responsive to all my questions.
Very much enjoyed our week in this Tanglewood townhouse, a short walk to Rathrevor beach. Well furnished and equipped property. Responsive owners to all queries. Perfect.
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.
We (family of four from the UK) enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in Joanne and Doug’s beautiful rental in the private Tanglewood resort in Parksville.
All communications were excellent, and if anything, the actual property (location, furnishings, kitchen and bathroom supplements, beach equipment) is even better than suggested by the description and pictures.
In addition to enjoying the property itself and Rathtrevor Beach, we enjoyed sea kayaking and whale watching on the Georgia Strait. Very easy to access from Nanaimo.
Would highly recommend.
Gareth and The Dudley Family
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.
Nice and cozy house , clean and tidy and fully equipped with all you need to enjoy a nice a peaceful vacation, the owners were very promp and provided clear and detailed communications pre and post stay.
We had an amazing holiday. Kids loved their own room and bathroom. Perfect set up for family. Large dining table we could play games, do art work and enjoy meals together. Location is perfect. Beach was lovely. We will definitely be back again!

Great property, excellent communication! Would stay again!
A great stay. Clean and modern with a very well equipped kitchen. Place was spacious with room to take care of 2 kids under 2. Would stay again without hesitation.
Very well kept and well stocked, very comfortable home for a getaway.
Really enjoyed our stay. Close proximity to the beach for long walks when the tides out. Feels like you're immersed in nature.
Very clean home, well stocked, great location.
We have stayed at several tangle wood properties and this one has to be the best. It was so well appointed, full kitchen, gorgeous sheets and so much for the kids to do. It was perfect!!!
