We had 2 adults, and then a 13yr, 10yr, 3yr, and 2yr. The older 2 kids loved having their own loft space and private bathroom. We brought a pack n play and it fit in the guest room closet perfectly so that the toddlers could also room share. The beds were comfortable and we all loved the patio with privacy hedges! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. We loved having access to a dishwasher and laundry during the week. We absolutely loved Parksville, this cabin and the surrounding area and cant wait to come back to visit again next year. If you are looking for a family friendly vacation rental for a larger family, this space is perfect! ##### Tara H.

We loved the house - it was clean and comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. Two good size bedrooms downstairs and the kids loved having the upstairs loft bedroom with their own bathroom and TV. Fantastic location for activities: minigolf is a 2 minute walk, a huge park nearby, and lots of cool spots within a short drive (Coombs, Cathedral Grove, etc). We also did the 5 minute walk to the resort nearby and had a fabulous dinner at the steakhouse/restaurant. The location of the house in the community could not be better if you want to use the pool - it is a 30 second walk. The pool was really nice and was never crowded even though we went everyday at least once and at different times of the day. The area was quiet and clean, no noise at night. Would highly reccomend!! ##### Michael W.

We had the most wonderful time staying at Starfish Cottage. Wonderfully located, close to a lot of beautiful beaches (Parksville Community Beach & Rathtrevor beach), and local restaurants (The Black Goos Inn!). The kids loved the warm water indoor pool and spent hours in there playing the first couple of days we arrived when the weather was a bit to cool for the beach and ocean swimming. Our kids loved it! Evening swim after dinner to drain their batteries! Our host Julie was friendly and easy to communicate with. It was a pleasure dealing with her. Starfish Cottage was clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. The cottage provided a home-away-from-home with a well stocked kitchen of dishes, cups, and the basic cooking pots/pans, and utensils, allowing me to prepare a simple dinner on our first night and simple breakfast of bacon and eggs in the mornings since we're all slow when first waking up and like to lounge around before hitting the beach around 1130am. I loved the coffee maker provided that allowed me to preset a timer for the next day were I wake up to freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. And THANK YOU for providing coffee too! (insert heart emoji here). Check-out was very easy and Julie didn't have a long list of chores for us! Expectations at check-out was basic common sense and very acceptable. Respectful to both host and guests. Most definitely my family will be returning to Starfish Cottage in the years to come. ##### Gordon W.
