Enjoy renowned Rathtrevor Beach and countless other activities and attractions in the Oceanside region of Vancouver Island from the comfort of our two-year-old [built in 2007] nicely appointed and very family-friendly, three-bedroom condominium located in Parksville, just a short 25 minute drive from the Nanaimo Departure Bay ferry terminal and easily and quickly accessible from airports in Nanaimo, Qualicum, and Comox.Our ground-level unit is well located, very quiet and private, and is set-up to deliver an outstanding vacation experience in any season. On the extreme NE corner of the new Tanglewood development, it is bordered to the north by Rathtrevor Provincial Park (featuring hectares of old growth forest, miles of trails, soaring bald eagles, and many other varieties of wildlife) and offers views to the east of rolling lawns – an excellent play space if you’ve young children, and frequented by deer and rabbits in the early morning and at dusk – as well as evergreen and arbutus trees through which the ocean waters of Craig Bay and the Strait of Georgia can be glimpsed. Stunning Rathtrevor Beach – one of the very best in Canada, featuring miles of golden sand dotted with shallow tide pools, warm water, safe ocean swimming, abundant birds (herons, cormorants, brandt geese, etc.), shells, and other sea life, and offering extraordinary beachcombing opportunities – is but a safe 60-second stroll below. Want to take a break from the beach? You will also be within a 10-minute walk of a multitude of additional recreational opportunities (mini-golf, tennis, shuffleboard, horseshoes, swimming pools, playgrounds) as well as other, less recreational attractions and/or conveniences (excellent restaurants, coffee shops and stores, the world-class Grotto Spa at Tigh-Na-Mara).
Your vacation in our 1,200 sq. ft. condo, with sleeping capacity for up to six, will be filled with comfort and amenities. Pamper yourself in the sizable bathrooms with in-floor heating, tiled counters and showers, and soaker tub in the master ensuite. Cook your favourite meals in the full-size gourmet kitchen complete with granite counters, kitchen island/bar, and stainless appliances (including side-by-side fridge/freezer with water and ice-maker, gas cook-top, electric convection oven, and microwave oven). Dine and relax in a beautiful park setting on the ocean-facing outdoor patio, complete with natural gas BBQ and comfortable outdoor furnishings, while your children play on the adjacent lawns. Enjoy the hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, cozy gas fireplace, front-load washer and dryer, plus free high-speed internet and cable LCD TV with DVD player.The Parksville/Qualicum area of Oceanside is a prime vacation destination known for its mild climate, many sandy beaches, warm ocean waters, great year-round golfing, excellent birding, and countless other recreational opportunities (including sailing, kayaking, fishing, and hiking). Six of Vancouver Island's 40 outstanding golf courses are within a 20-minute drive away. This ideal location also provides central access to many popular Vancouver Island attractions, including the verdant and bountiful Cowichan Valley (known as “Canada’s Provence”, featuring 10 wineries and several artisanal bakeries, butchers and the like) and “olde English” Victoria to the south, Cathedral Grove and the “wild west coast” (the West Coast Trail, Pacific Rim National Park, Tofino, Clayoquot Sound) of Vancouver Island to the west, and the more diverse Comox Valley to the north.
