Waterfront vacation rentals in Parksville

What a wonderful stay for the second time at Gina & Rick’s place. Fantastic views and close to Parksville for shopping and beaches. Hosts always make you feel welcome and at home. Absolutely love this place and highly recommend!

Extremely well appointed with many items exceeding what one might normally expect to find in a holiday rental property. It’s a beautiful looking property on the inside and the outlook over the ocean is amazing. Quality bed linen was especially appreciated.

Beautiful! We visited for two nights with our Mother who is experiencing some mobility issues. It was great for her to be able to sit on the deck and still be seaside. The unit was spotless, beautifully decorated, and the kitchen well-appointed with everything we needed to cook in. Having the BBQ was great. We especially appreciated the thoughtfulness of providing salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee, tea and sugar (why don’t all Airbnb hosts do this?!). Definitely recommend it.

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.

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

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!!

Had family come from Calgary, we stayed together. We all loved the place, beautiful suite, clean, quiet and lots of room for us. Beautiful surroundings and great staff 😊 Thank you for a great stay!!!!

This is a great place with an amazing view. The hot tub added a romantic touch. Heidi’s instructions made everything so easy. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

Secluded, quiet neighbourhood with water access and great view. Loved the fire pit and kayaks! Be ready to climb up and down the steep steps, however.

The view and private dock are worth the visit! The pics don’t do it justice. Lots of room for everyone with 4 queen beds and a basement room with 4 twin beds.

Absolutely unique property the view of the Pacific was amazing. It is situated right at the end of the road so no passing traffic or people - very peaceful Very well equipped and comfortable Rob was very responsive especially when I couldn’t work out how to lock the door when we went out (you just press the unlock button). It’s amazing

The place and location was amazing. Everything was perfect. The outside eating area with BBQ was better than expected/realized. The entire place looked newly renovated. The bay was great - just plan your water activities there according to the tide, because at low tide there is no water. Great location travelling to Madeira Park and Sechelt or beyond. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

This the the best property we have ever stayed at and we have been at some wonderful properties. Right on Nanaimo bay. Views were stupendous. Easy stairs down to the shore. Brian responded to inquiries almost as quickly as Radar O’Reilly on MASH. The home has all the little touches that testifies that wis wife is involved in the upkeep. Would recommend highly. Would stay there again. Didn’t want to leave.

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.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Lindsay's beachfront property. The location is truly unbeatable—nestled right on the coast, with breathtaking ocean views that can be enjoyed both inside and out. Inside, the property is just as impressive. It's thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

One of the most well stocked Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at! We so appreciated having extra little things available like containers to pack some food with us for lunch. The notes about the significance of each of the art pieces was also a very special touch that made the space feel so meaningful. The ocean view is beautiful and we had lots of fun using the scope to birdwatch and check out the wildlife in the water!

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!

Had a fantastic stay at Barry’s. Will return for sure

This was a perfect place to stay while we were visiting Vancouver Island. The location made it easy to explore other areas of the Island as a day trip. The condo itself is situated right across from the pool and hot tub as well as the beach trail which we were able to enjoy while we were staying. Overall, the condo is equipped with everything you need to have a pleasant stay and the host was easy to contact and responded quickly. I would recommend this airbnb!

wonderful place! Completely met our expectations.

Beautiful place right on the ocean. It was great having the heated pool, hot tub and kids play area. A short drive to great cafes and bakeries.

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!

My stay at Jill’s place was perfect. As a host, Jill is friendly and very helpful. Her place was exactly as listed and was just a few short steps to the water. I loved my daily walks along the coast. I hope to stay at Jill’s condo again in the near future.
