Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Parksville

Great stay with Colin highly recommend

We stayed here for a week, and wished it could have been longer. The location and the view from the unit is absolutely beautiful; only a short drive into Parksville and Qualicum, as well as Nanaimo, and yet when you are staying here, you feel like you could be miles from anywhere. Lovely walking trails around, amazing beach and great facilities made this the perfect spot for us to base ourselves and explore the area. The unit itself is impeccable and had all the amenities one could need, and lots of thoughtful little details that made this a stay we will remember. We will definitely be back, and will be recommending this place to family and friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Randy and Barb’s condo. The condo was very clean, tasteful and roomy. It was equipped with everything we needed!! The resort had many desirable amenities including exercise room, pool and a good restaurant and lounge. We communicated with Randy a few times and he was always responsive, prompt and helpful. It was very apparent that the quality of our stay was very important to Randy and Barb. We really appreciated that. We highly recommend this listing!!

Perfect space for a quick getaway! unfortunately we only stayed one night,but definitely wished we could stay longer. We were in a pinch finding space quickly and Raylene jumped to action with quick responses and care for our situation. clean, comfortable , welcoming space. The resort is in a beautiful location. Ammenties are appealing and the neighbourhood has everything one needs !

Mermaid Cove was lovely and luxurious! The apartment was clean, spacious, homey, and so nicely decorated; it had every amenity you could think of and even some I'd never thought of before (fancy pillow mist!). The location was fantastic!! A nice end unit right next to a walking path and beach access. The resort was fabulous, with great pools, restaurant and spa. We (and our toddler) especially loved the outdoor kiddie pool with slide and pirate playground. Kimberley and John were exceptional hosts with great communication and were very responsive. We had a wonderful stay!!

Beautiful spot right on the water. Super clean and spacious room for two of us. Would stay again for sure!

My wife and I were here for a couple of days to visit some family. Since we’re from Calgary, we were hoping to be close to the water. This place did not disappoint! I would say we were 15 steps away from the water. It was really nice to have a coffee in the morning and be able to walk to a small patio to enjoy the view. This location also has a great restaurant that is also on the property. Everyone was super nice and the food was delicious. Another great thing about this location was the access to the pool and hot tubs. There is one indoors and one outdoors. Both were enjoyable but I definitely preferred the outdoor one. Everything was super quiet and calm. Made the stay that much more relaxing. Would definitely come here again in the future!

Enjoyed stay, great location, clean and comfortable. Reasonable price. Would recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. So much thought was put into to making a cozy, comfortable stay. So much swimming, ocean, hot tubs and pools. Jennifer is a great host. As a side note: we are from Vancouver and do our best to not drive. This vacation rental is fully accessible by public transit from Vancouver, a break from the city without needing a vehicle, whatever your reasons might be. Highly recommend. Thanks Jennifer!

This lovely studio suite was just the place for myself and a long ago friend to reconnect - a bit smaller than I envisioned, and no kitchen (not sure why I thought there would be one) - it was a bit like having a girl's sleepover from high school. The amenities were fantastic, with no problem at all using the card. The evening sunset view was gorgeous, and morning breakfast & coffee on the patio was lovely. Very quiet and peaceful. Every person met in passing were gracious and kind. This is truly the kind of place I could enjoy more often! The bed was very comfortable, the towels & linens were fine, the coffee delicious... all in all, a great experience! Thanks Kim.

Beds are VERY comfortable! We slept soundly both nights. Good shower head in the master shower. Linens were clean and fresh. Quiet complex. Zero issues. Overall the condo is very homey and cozy. Well appointed kitchen and we wanted for nothing. Host was responsive and friendly and generously offered a late checkout as it worked for her schedule.

I had to cancel last minute. Andrea was more than accommodating for us We were so appreciative of that. The space is perfect for two people, as we’ve been there before! I recommend her sweet space for anyone who is looking for anyone looking a perfect little get away!

Seriously the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. Incredibly clean, perfectly located (easy access from the parking lot AND perfect access to the pool/hot tub). They really thought of everything and fully stocked the unit. I was scattered while packing and forgot to pack a playpen for my toddler - they HAD a playpen! And it was clean! They also had a high chair - seriously everything you need is here. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful apartment with a really nice unobstructed sea view. Everything just like in the photos, clean and lots of natural light. I really enjoyed the beautiful bathroom…very nicely done. The bed is huge and very comfy as well. The view from the rooms and balconies is exceptional and really lovely. The whole property is really nice and well maintained. Especially enjoyed the bbq areas and fireplaces in the common areas. Communication was very good and check in instructions easy and clear. Overall we had a lovely stay and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the sea and nature of Vancouver Island. You would definitely need a car there, as there is not so much to do in a walking distance. Closes town is approx. 5 - 10 min. Drive. Ferry in Nanaimo about 20-30 minutes. Very convenient!

Loved our stay! Seeing the ocean from the deck was the highlight!

Staying with Chelsea’s place was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean, and lots of activities to do. We are planning to go back next year. Highly recommended!

Lauren’s place was modern, spotless and convenient to Courtenay even though it was rural and peaceful. We enjoyed having this lovely place.

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

Kim has a great place in Nanoose Bay!! Right on the water, great place to relax & enjoy the beautiful area! Great amenities to enjoy and place is well stocked & lots of space to enjoy!

We stayed here for 9 days with 4 adults and 3 kids under 6, including a baby. He was extremely responsive, even at 10:30pm when trying to figure out the fireplaces. He proactively noticed that our internet was out and came over to fix it while we were out. While he was there he noticed we could use a baby gate and fireplace gate so he went and bought some for the house. Aside from Tom being excellent the home was beautiful and nice. We've stayed at many Airbnbs and this was definitely a top experience!

We really enjoyed our stay at Andrew’s air bnb. Simple instructions and great location lots of beaches and restaurants near by, im sure if we stay in Parksville again we will return.

Our stay was beyond amazing! The host truly surpassed our expectations with thoughtful personal touches, including toys for our kids, and was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. They thought of everything we could need, making it a completely stress-free and relaxing experience. The location is perfect, with plenty of food options and outdoor activities, plus great fishing nearby. The place itself is spacious, spotless, and comfortable. We’ll definitely be booking again in the near future! Highly recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and convenience of this property. So much so, that we considered buying a cottage in this community. Our stay was a luxury experience. Kate and Fohla were wonderful hosts and gave us personal attention as needed. We will be back!

As our first Airbnb experience, it set the bar for future experiences. It was exactly what it was described as in the listing. It was immaculately clean. Our group of 4 were very satisfied. And we would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Parksville.
