Cottage vacation rentals in Parksville

Josha and Sam's cabin was perfect. It was very private, despite their home being next door. It was very quiet and peaceful and very clean! I would definitely stay at this cabin again. Thank you Josha and Sam for your hospitality! Denise

Thanks for Judy gorgeous place and let us having great three days away and great fishing experience!

This place is really special and exactly as it looks in the photos (but better in person!) We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the mornings, and listening to the local birds in the trees that surround the cabin. The view from the terrace is really magnificent!! We also indulged in the wood fired hot tub to make the most out of the beautiful forest surroundings. This stay was really one to remember, and I'm already dreaming about coming back another time. The roadside parking space had plenty of room for one car, two vehicles would be a tight squeeze.

Our group of seven absolutely loved Danoosh’s place! Lots of amenities, short drive to town, private space, GREAT beds, lots of towels and flip flops for the hot tub! Right off the highway, so quite a lot of road noise (mostly during the day), but it didn’t bother our group at all - just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to it. We absolutely loved playing badminton in the yard! Would definitely recommend Danoosh’s place.

We felt at home as soon as we arrived! Molly and Tony greeted us shortly after we got there and even brought treats for our pup. They are great hosts and we would stay here again! The Japanese hot tub was a real treat and we also enjoyed a walk down to the Gumboot Cafe. Thanks for the wonderful retreat!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home with two families and young children. The location cannot be beat - a few minute walk to the centre of town and right on the ocean. The home itself was comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Corry was extremely quick to respond to a couple of questions we had when we arrived. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting Gibsons, with or without kids.

Kellen's Craftsman Cottage is a serene oasis located on the picturesque Francis Peninsula, making it an essential destination for anyone visiting the Sunshine Coast. Conveniently close to the main Madera Park shopping area, this cottage offers absolute tranquility with its private hot tub, and outdoor hot shower. We highly recommend this perfectly positioned location, especially for extended stays. While a 2-3 day visit may offer a glimpse of the beauty, a week-long stay or longer allows for complete immersion in the Sunshine Coast experience. The cost savings and the opportunity to truly unwind make a longer stay worthwhile. Kellen's Craftsman Cottage comes equipped with all the appliances necessary for a comfortable extended stay. Whether you're a couple needing a much needed break, or a family wanting a break from city life, this place is for you. Thank you Kellen for providing such a delightful place to relax and enjoy the wonders of the Sunshine Coast.

This cottage was truly a gem! The kitchen and bathroom were thoughtfully stocked and the garden was beautiful and peaceful. Very relaxing spot for a weekend getaway.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The location is easy to find, close to the city and felt very peaceful. We really appreciated Leslie's and Mark's friendliness and hospitality and I would certainly come here to stay again in the future if I'm visiting the area.

We had a great stay at Andrew’s place. There was a small issue with the heating but he was very responsive and did his best to solve the problem. The cottage had everything you need to cook a family meal and a fire that heats up the whole living space. Overall it was a lovely cottage to spend a long weekend.

Over on the Sunshine Coast for work. This is the fourth time we have stayed at Jonathan's place (twice last year, twice this year). As always everything very clean and all the required amenities. Very peaceful / private location. Will certainly stay again.

Had a wonderful stay here - a beautiful location, so close to everything in Gibson’s but still felt super private. Great communication with the host, made me feel very welcome with a welcome package with recommendations for food, sports, drinks etc and even a little treat for my dog! Would definitely recommend this place and will re-book in the future!

Had an amazing time. Didn’t want to leave and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!

We had such a great stay here. The location was phenomenal, minutes to the village but still quiet, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. I think the best way to describe the house is that while it is old, it was clearly well loved by whoever lived there. Everything was well labeled, clean and cared for. The best part of all was how kid-friendly it was, we didn’t have to bring our own pack and play or highchair and our son loved all the “new toys.” Will absolutely be back!

A perfect place for a vacation with my son's family and her Mom. Comfortable, roomy, well equiped, kid friendly, close to beaches and ice cream. What else could one want! Just a bit of construction noise but that will eventually end. Thank you Karen for making our vacation great.

George was an attentive and generous host, and we experienced true hospitality here. He went out of his way for us. The cottage has gardens on all sides and hummingbirds on the porch. The area is quiet and the neighbours are friendly. Make sure to visit the Deep Bay Marine Field Station, and Rathtrevor Beach at low tide. The drive to Tofino/Ucluelet area was exceptional and worth a day trip. Thanks George and Marion!

This place was very quiet and peaceful. Off the beaten path just a bit, but close enough to all of the amenities. Jennifer was very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend a stay at this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Luna’a cabin! Everything was very clear prior to check in and Luna was always quick to respond to any messages. The cabin itself was spacious, clean, comfortable, and offered a view of the bay through the French doors which we loved. It was also very well located, within short driving distance to Sechelt!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly relaxing, clean, and cozy—perfect for unwinding. Everything was thoughtfully set up and very comfortable. The outdoor toilet and shower were not only convenient but also surprisingly charming, adding to the unique experience. Our host was accommodating, friendly, and easy to reach whenever we had a question. We are already planning to come back.

Larissa and Josh were the most wonderful hosts, some of the best I’ve ever encountered on my airbnb journeys. They were extra accommodating as we had our baby with us, and have a wonderful cafe as well where we tested some amazing treats. First time going to Galiano but if I go back that’s where I’m staying, the place was pristine, big and the views from the patio, living room and bedroom and stunning, you can ask all my IG likes and comments lol Thank you for a memorable weekend!

The cabin of your childhood dreams…sit back, relax, enjoy the lake and connect with family/friends. North Lake has fabulous swimming and almost no bugs. The cabin has a lovely view and lots of different areas to sleep. Lynne was a great host, very attentive and communicative. We had a lovely time, thanks Lynne.

We loved our stay at Tara's place! We spent Easter with our three teenaged kids and had the best time. The home is welcoming and cozy, the beds comfortable, all the towels and toiletries we needed. The master bedroom was more spacious than expected so we put a mattress on the floor for our 3rd kid. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some, including condiments and things for cooking proper meals. The house was so clean and spotless that I literally double-checked the listing to see if we were the first people ever to rent the place (nope). But what stole the show was the view - we couldn't believe our eyes when we woke up and stepped out onto the deck, and took in the peaceful bay with the mountains in the background. The private dock is icing on the cake, and we dropped our paddleboards in for a paddle around. The area is remote so bring your major groceries with you, but there's a wee store in town plus the backeddy pub (fish + chips!) and a food truck (ceviche!) nearby

Great stay! The cabin has everything you need for a week on Hornby. We enjoyed just sitting on the deck, and taking in the sound of the wind in the Aspen trees and the eagles perched in the fir tree. The property is beautiful and quiet and sits behind a line of trees, right before the beach. If you have anyone in your group with mobility issues, be aware the walk to the beach has a few big steps down, and the stairs to the upstairs room are steep. We would happily stay again.

We loved our stay. Very spacious. Good bed. Well equipped. Good location, only a few hundred meters from cafes and stores. The road was a bit noisy but does calm down at night. All in all a great place to stay.
