Cottage vacation rentals in Parksville

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods, the perfect peaceful retreat from city life. The hot tub was such a treat in the evenings. We really enjoyed the outdoor fire pit too, and it was great that firewood was provided. The cabin was clean and cozy, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. Two small things to note: the two doors facing the bed don’t have curtains, so it gets quite bright in the morning and feels a bit exposed, I found it a little uncomfortable. Also, the path leading up to the cabin was very muddy, so make sure you wear the right shoes. Overall, I would stay again, it was a great getaway, and we left feeling refreshed.

Wonderful stay for our family of six—great value, lovely home and property, and the hosts were quick to respond to anything we needed!

we loved our stay at Joule’s. The place was spacious and comfortable, we relaxed and were able to feel fairly at home. It rained the majority of our stay, and so the hot tub was especially enjoyed with being a perfect way to be outside during a drizzle. The kitchen was equipped for cooking meals, the beds were comfy, and Sechelt was a pleasure! We enjoyed a few trails nearby. Would recommend staying at Joule’s place for a Sunshine Coast getaway!

Beautiful location that felt close to nature yet also walkable to amenities. The view at the table while you eat breakfast is very peaceful. There was an occupant of the lower unit with two young children running around, so be mindful that there will be some shared noises. The hot tub, view, ample space and location made this an peaceful retreat for my family without having to isolate them; you can walk a few minutes and still get a great cup of coffee.

Kellen's Craftsman Cottage is a serene oasis located on the picturesque Francis Peninsula, making it an essential destination for anyone visiting the Sunshine Coast. Conveniently close to the main Madera Park shopping area, this cottage offers absolute tranquility with its private hot tub, and outdoor hot shower. We highly recommend this perfectly positioned location, especially for extended stays. While a 2-3 day visit may offer a glimpse of the beauty, a week-long stay or longer allows for complete immersion in the Sunshine Coast experience. The cost savings and the opportunity to truly unwind make a longer stay worthwhile. Kellen's Craftsman Cottage comes equipped with all the appliances necessary for a comfortable extended stay. Whether you're a couple needing a much needed break, or a family wanting a break from city life, this place is for you. Thank you Kellen for providing such a delightful place to relax and enjoy the wonders of the Sunshine Coast.

This stay was absolutely beautiful! Such a sweet cottage, in a beautiful, private and peaceful location. So comfy and cosy, at the some time as feeling luxury with the hot tub. Would recommend, and will be staying again! Also, the family of deer that visit are so friendly, just magical. A lot of space to do all of the things I enjoy, fire pit, barbecue and a hot tub!

We had a family bday get together here. It was perfect, Hugh and Deb added a "Happy birthday" banner and cake in fridge, what a special extra touch! We had 3 fabulous nights and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet spot in Nanaimo. Hot tub was super bonus!

This was our second time staying at Leah’s and it was just as wonderful as we remembered—if not better! We absolutely loved our time, especially spending hours on the dock and paddle boarding. The cabin is beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and so well stocked with everything we needed. Leah is a fantastic host, and it truly feels like a home away from home. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Beautiful tiny home in a great rural area but also close to downtown Courtenay. We loved the high ceilings and light you get in the cabin. Had a small hiccup during our stay but the hosts were quick to respond and correct the issue. Would stay again. Thanks!

We had a great stay at Andrew’s place. There was a small issue with the heating but he was very responsive and did his best to solve the problem. The cottage had everything you need to cook a family meal and a fire that heats up the whole living space. Overall it was a lovely cottage to spend a long weekend.

Great, large house in a quiet peaceful area! We really enjoyed our stay here and the place had everything you could imagine needing and lots of space

We had amazing stay at Christi and Jason's! There is everything you need for a cozy stay, AND the view of the ocean and mountains is spectacular. We got lucky with the weather too, so everything was extra good. They gave us great recommendations on where to go around the area and we'd definitely come back.

I should not put out how great my stay was because I’m booking it again multiple times this year and don’t want competition! Absolutely perfect!

Very clean, great communication and we really loved the extra touches throughout the space. Lots of extra items that you may need throughout your stay. Very easy check-in! Was private and would be great in the summer with the nice big deck. Space wouldn’t be ideal for some. We were a group of five mid thirties women that luckily have been best friends since childhood. If you aren’t close with your party and all adults, I’d pick a different space. The only bathroom is off the only real bedroom. The upstairs open loft is the 2nd sleeping area and the two single beds are hard. Price does reflect this.

beautiful get away and very kind quick to respond hosts, would go back for sure, for the bathroom alone. cheers kevan.

We had such a lovely stay in this peaceful Sechelt getaway! The home is tucked away from the city, which made it the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the quiet. The view was absolutely stunning—waking up to that scenery every morning was a dream. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast. Would definitely come back!

We Loved our stay! House is beautiful and excellent location to explore all the sites. Lots of local tips provided by the owners too! Highly recommend!

We had a great time staying at the cottage and would love to come back! There’s a lot of natural lighting from the windows, just wish there were curtains in the main area.

We loved our stay here. It is a very peaceful location and looks exactly like the photos. The kitchen is great. It was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the Sunshine Coast. Thanks Rachel for having us!

Gail’s cottage was an incredibly warm and welcoming place to stay. She is thoughtful about every part of the cottage with lovely decor, comfortable bedding, and a very clean space. The incredible beach was just a short walk away. She was so friendly and responsive to all my questions, I can’t wait to come back!

An amazing, well equipped cabin overlooking a pristine lake. The cabin is central to the island making it ideal to stay at while exploring Salt Spring! We were able to cook a full meal thanks to the thoughtful stocked kitchen and amenities! Ashley was a delight to communicate and even before we left we agreed we'd return someday.

The Guesthouse location was fantastic. Martin was a friendly and very helpful host, even lending use of his canoes for exploring Sproat Lake. The house itself was also fantastic, with loads of space and everything you need. Space to eat and relax outside in the lovely surroundings was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

My family had a great stay at Louise’s cottage. Easy to find and really lovely layout. The kids were excited to sleep in the loft bedroom on the second level and I was pleased there was a door to the bedroom to keep noise out in the evenings! The other two bedrooms on the main level are very comfortable and far apart from each other. There’s a small backyard off the deck, a rustic bridge over a stream and then Little Trib beach. We had a blast going to and from easily during our stay and knew ahead of time that the beach is considered “clothing optional” but Louise was kind enough to add this detail into our checking in information among some other helpful facts. We didn’t have any issues while we were in the cabin and felt all the details were thought of including everything you’d need to start a fire in the wood stove. We would absolutely stay again!

We loved our stay in Leesa’s cottage! There were so many relaxing places to sit outside to enjoy her beautiful flowers and the peaceful surroundings. Would definitely recommend!
