"A total of 50 of us stayed in many of the condos for a family reunion July '04. The management is helpful and friendly, the condos are extremely well-equipped, the facilities are very good and the wonderful beach is easily accessed. The town of Parksville is a few minutes drive away for shopping and eats ... Would certainly stay again."
"This is a great place to return to after work. The best accommodation I've had in my many years of government travel."

We had a 2 bedroom condo that was quite spacious, very bright large kitchen and very well stocked with plenty of utensils, plates, toaster, blender etc. It also has an in unit washer/dryer ... The pool is central and all condos surround it. There also is a playground. and good biking trails. This is probably the newest property along Rathtrevor Beach. The grounds are very well maintained.
