Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 16 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Our host, Andrew was very helpful, but the “cleaning lady”, Olivia was the star of the show with hints, tricks, and tips that smoothed out any problems that arise. ##### Kenneth Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Fabienne C. 10 Jan 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location 15mn walk from the beach Good location 5mn drive to the beach a bit longer ca 15mn/20mn walking distance due to the restricted private access which prevent the short cut. Communication with Andrew was very good. Small negative point, which may be due to the fact that we were off season, is the dust on the furniture and the blinds, which was quite visible due to the dark wood. Still we enjoyed our stay very much and the kids enjoyed the pool ##### Fabienne C. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna A. 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great access to Rathtrevor Provincial Park We loved the location of the house. It was less than a 5 minute drive to Rathtrevor Provincial Park. We spent several evenings down at the beach. The house itself was private and well-stocked with essentials. The furniture and bedding was comfortable. My only recommendation is to replace the stand-up fan that exists in the unit. It was barely blowing any air and was not helpful up in the loft. Also, more portable fans or a ceiling fan in the main bedroom would help with cooling. ##### Joanna A.

It is within (longer) walking distance of the beach, more restaurants and bars. There is plenty to entertain children including the indoor pool and hot tub, mini golf and forest walks to the beach. A 5 minute drive to Parksville will meet all your grocery, restaurant and entertainment needs. Host was easy to communicate with, the unit was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was adequately stocked: bring spices, kitchen/garbage bags, foil, cling wrap, dish brush/scrubber for stays longer than a weekend, as well as board games for inclement weather. Ocean Village Resort is a great place to vacation and we can’t wait to return. ##### Karen S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ---
