Cottage vacation rentals in Parksville

This has been our 5th or 6th trip here and it’s always perfect! Josha and Sam are so friendly and the space is completely private. It’s the perfect get away.

This place is really special and exactly as it looks in the photos (but better in person!) We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the mornings, and listening to the local birds in the trees that surround the cabin. The view from the terrace is really magnificent!! We also indulged in the wood fired hot tub to make the most out of the beautiful forest surroundings. This stay was really one to remember, and I'm already dreaming about coming back another time. The roadside parking space had plenty of room for one car, two vehicles would be a tight squeeze.

Our group of seven absolutely loved Danoosh’s place! Lots of amenities, short drive to town, private space, GREAT beds, lots of towels and flip flops for the hot tub! Right off the highway, so quite a lot of road noise (mostly during the day), but it didn’t bother our group at all - just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to it. We absolutely loved playing badminton in the yard! Would definitely recommend Danoosh’s place.

Molly's place was comfortable & cozy. I really enjoyed being able to walk to the local cafes & shops. Also, the Japanese hot tub is a must do! I will be back:).

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home with two families and young children. The location cannot be beat - a few minute walk to the centre of town and right on the ocean. The home itself was comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Corry was extremely quick to respond to a couple of questions we had when we arrived. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting Gibsons, with or without kids.

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.

We loved our retreat-like holiday at the cottage. The grounds and cottage were beautiful! Check-in was super easy and Jaye was very responsive with whatever questions we had and went above and beyond to help us figure out if the mattress would work for us (as we have back issues). The bed was comfy and everything was really lovely. Thank you!

Loved our stay at the Little Bear Cabin. Richard went above and beyond to get the hot tub set up in winter conditions. The wood fired hot tub is great in the winter and worth the effort. Thank Richard for a great time!!

This is a fantastic quaint little beach cottage to enjoy the island's natural beauty. Easy access to fun on the water. The family really enjoyed the lawn sports items the hosts provided. Thank you!

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.

Had a wonderful stay here - a beautiful location, so close to everything in Gibson’s but still felt super private. Great communication with the host, made me feel very welcome with a welcome package with recommendations for food, sports, drinks etc and even a little treat for my dog! Would definitely recommend this place and will re-book in the future!

We had such a great stay here. The location was phenomenal, minutes to the village but still quiet, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. I think the best way to describe the house is that while it is old, it was clearly well loved by whoever lived there. Everything was well labeled, clean and cared for. The best part of all was how kid-friendly it was, we didn’t have to bring our own pack and play or highchair and our son loved all the “new toys.” Will absolutely be back!

Karen’s place was perfect for our large family. We were perfectly situated to get to amenities and to head out on day trips. It was easy to find and easy to check in. Karen and Mary were super responsive to messages. The space is quirky and charming. The upstairs space worked perfect for our boys, who greatly enjoyed their own space that included a tv and their own beds! It definitely would be difficult to access the upstairs for someone with mobility issues, the stairs are very steep. The steps have rugged carpet to make it easier and avoid slipping. The games cupboard and lawn ladder golf games were greatly appreciated. The kitchen had everything we needed, and extra towels came in handy for beach days. We were very busy during the days so did not get to spend a whole lot of time in the backyard, but it was lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. Would recommend this stay!

George was an attentive and generous host, and we experienced true hospitality here. He went out of his way for us. The cottage has gardens on all sides and hummingbirds on the porch. The area is quiet and the neighbours are friendly. Make sure to visit the Deep Bay Marine Field Station, and Rathtrevor Beach at low tide. The drive to Tofino/Ucluelet area was exceptional and worth a day trip. Thanks George and Marion!

We were very impressed with home's location, its fully equipped kitchen, the comfy beds and the wonderful large outdoor deck! There was an easy and safe access to the beach. We quickly adapted to the steep set of stairs going up to the two upstairs bedrooms. We really enjoyed the access to the balcony located off the main bedroom to watch the waves and listen to the ocean at night!

Great to meet you Lee, thank you for having us!

This is a stunning, restful, get away! Would have liked to stay many days. As a horse person I absolutely loved being around them. Bonus to have a piano to play! Comfortable beds, fully functional kitchen and nice to have additional half bathroom. We sat out on the deck in the evening to enjoy the night sky. Attentive hosts. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This place was very quiet and peaceful. Off the beaten path just a bit, but close enough to all of the amenities. Jennifer was very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend a stay at this property.

It is a peaceful spot to discover all the gems of the Comox Valley. Gail's cottage is a short stroll to the beachfront and the area has numerous recreational opportunities including Cumberland's mountain biking mecca. The kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are comfy. We also found lounging in the yard after a long day on the bikes to be the perfect end to the day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Luna’a cabin! Everything was very clear prior to check in and Luna was always quick to respond to any messages. The cabin itself was spacious, clean, comfortable, and offered a view of the bay through the French doors which we loved. It was also very well located, within short driving distance to Sechelt!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly relaxing, clean, and cozy—perfect for unwinding. Everything was thoughtfully set up and very comfortable. The outdoor toilet and shower were not only convenient but also surprisingly charming, adding to the unique experience. Our host was accommodating, friendly, and easy to reach whenever we had a question. We are already planning to come back.

Larissa and Josh were the most wonderful hosts, some of the best I’ve ever encountered on my airbnb journeys. They were extra accommodating as we had our baby with us, and have a wonderful cafe as well where we tested some amazing treats. First time going to Galiano but if I go back that’s where I’m staying, the place was pristine, big and the views from the patio, living room and bedroom and stunning, you can ask all my IG likes and comments lol Thank you for a memorable weekend!

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage by the sea. So nice to have a private beach access.

We loved our stay. Very spacious. Good bed. Well equipped. Good location, only a few hundred meters from cafes and stores. The road was a bit noisy but does calm down at night. All in all a great place to stay.
