I almost don't want to write this because I want this place all to myself. It was absolutely perfect. Beautifully decorated, clean, modern, well maintained. It had a lovely private covered deck to sit on that also housed the kitchenette, a two person table/chair set and some patio furniture. There was a private yard space with Adirondack chairs and a BBQ with propane tank. The whole place is surrounded by tall trees and singing birds. There is also a second private yard space with more Adirondack chairs and a propane firepit for our use. We had our own parking spot in the driveway and everything was within walking distance. I loved all the attention to detail....the little soaps, the welcome cookies, the games and books, white bathrobes, the bug spray and sunscreen and an A/C unit.
The King bed was super comfy and the spacious bathroom had a large walk-in shower with a rain shower head plus hand held shower sprayer. There is also a second small sink and food prep area in the bedroom area. The Caretaker Deanna was very friendly and helpful. My only concern (since I'm perpetually cold), would be staying in colder, rainy winter weather because the kitchenette and seating area are outside on the covered deck. But after talking with the owner, she said they hang a plastic barrier to keep the rain and elements out. I'm hoping they'll put a little space heater in as well and then it should be fine for me. We will definitely stay here again on our next family visit to Parksville.
