Excellent privacy afforded by individual separated cabins. The cabins are well appointed and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. It was just a short drive to restaurants, shopping and beaches. Office staff were a pleasure to deal with. Priced a little on the high side but worth it.

Cottage was spacious, clean, quiet and very well provisioned. It was like a second home for us. It was close to the beach and Provincial Park yet far enough away to feel very private. Area was flat and safe for grandchildren and their biking. Patio/deck was generous in size and suitable for dining or play. Would definitely book Oceanside again!

Uncomfortable beds

House was great had everything we needed, and awesome BBQ. But 2 of 3 beds were horrible and very uncomfortable. One bed had a boxspring on top and the sofa bed was caving in. Very uncomfortable and caused lack of sleep and moods for 3 of 5 guests. When mentioned to onsite staff their only comment was oh well some of the cottages are like that... They didn't care.

This was an excellent place to stay. They allowed me to have my dog with me. The cottage was exceptional and more than adequate. Everything was provided, all I needed was to bring my own food. I would definitely recommend the property to friends and family. I can't think of a better place to stay in Parksville, this was my 1st time at this property and it was the best, I've been going for over 5yrs and I'll not stay anywhere else from now on. It's convenient Ly located to everything.

Loved the cottage. It wss the perfect size for our needs. (2 families - 2 adults, 3 kids, and we could easily have brought the husbands.) Our set up was 1 king bedroom, twins in the loft, and double pull out couch. The loft was great as it gave some separation when we wanted it. Couls srnd ygd kids up there as they could have their own bathroom, tv & area to play.
Close to many activities so there was always something to do.
The pool was refreshing - and bonus indoor.
While we didn't bring our dog this time, they are pet friendly.
Highly recommend this resort. We'll be back.

Clean, comfortable and with great amenities both at the house and nearby. I wish the closest restaurant “Tasty Cafe” served dinner as well and not just lunch. It was delicious, but the hours are awkward (10am-3pm). Overall, the property was a great place. I would stay there again! Each house is independently owned with the resort acting as a property management company, so each house is likely a little different inside. We stayed in 171.

It was clean enough and nice inside but it was rented for six of us...sleeps 6 yet there is only enough seating room in the living room for 3-4. Needs another comfy chair. The kitchen was poorly stocked. No wine glasses, no baking sheet, no measuring cups, not much room in the fridge as the door trays were missing. The sofa bed upstairs had a big dip in it and was not comfortable. And being rented for 6 there was only 2 breach/hot tub towels. The deck was nice though. We like this resort but would not rent this unit again.

Wonderfully comfortable - like home!

We had a great stay at Oceanside Villas.
It was a very comfortable condo that truly felt like home. Kitchenette was well stocked , it had a full fridge and stove , excellent gas BBQ on the sweet back patio deck ( with chairs and table and umbrella ) very clean and lots of space with the bedroom and loft.
We travelled with our 6 month old and had no trouble getting her down in the adjoining bedroom whilst still socializing in the main area plus everyone was able to relax before bed with their own TV as we had 3!
Only downside , it gets hot without AC so open windows and get those fans blowing. Also , beach at Rathtrevor Park is quite a distance from condo so it's not really Oceanside but the heated indoor pool is easily accessible and excellent( we found that easier with our 6 month old anyways ) and the Riptide Lagoon mini golf next door was fun.

Overall , wonderful value for all that you get -we would stay again!
