About this property

Cottage by the Sea: Walk on Rathtrevor Beach

Imagine retreating to your own little cottage on Rathtrevor Beach. Your own little paradise where the ocean is steps away from your garden patio.

Encompassing the best of island living, this one bedroom, fully equipped cottage is situated only steps away from Parksville's most popular beach, and just a short 5-minute drive to shopping, great restaurants and all that the Oceanside community is famous for.

Upon arrival you will discover this little cottage tucked away in the secret garden, and your senses will come alive with the ocean breeze combined with the quiet and tranquility of this seaside community.

Inside you will immediately feel at home. The open floor plan encompasses a light filled living room, dining area and the perfect kitchen for all your vacation needs. A separate bedroom welcomes you with a queen sized bed perfect for one or two guests.

Take a quick stroll to the front of the property and you will immediately be swept away by the expanse of Rathtrevor Beach and the views of the surrounding islands.

Only mere minutes from your front door is Rathtrevor Provincial Park where you can hike through the 347-hectare park featuring two-kilometre long stretch of sandy beach, a stand of majestic old-growth Douglas fir trees, beautiful ocean sunsets and an inviting, wide sandy beach. At low tide the ocean recedes almost a kilometre and when the tide rolls in over the sunbaked sand, the warmed water is unbeatable for swimming and saltwater fun.

In the spring when large numbers of seabirds congregate for the annual herring spawn. During February, March, and April, Rathtrevor Beach is also one of the best spots on the Island to view the migrating Brant geese.

A true home away from home perfectly set up for a solo traveler or a couple wanting to escape and unwind, here you will find everything to make your stay as uninterrupted and as comfortable as possible.

8-hours prior to check in you will receive a keypad code via your booking channel messaging.

Little Piece of Paradise
This charming, clean, well maintained and comfortable cottage is the perfect home base for a Parksville area getaway. It is tucked back in a calm and quiet corner of a waterfront property and is only steps from the water. Ideal location with easy access to the many area attractions, but you’ll want to spend plenty of time right at the cottage!

Parksville Cottage near the sea.
Very nice cozy quiet cottage. Can’t beat the location! Beautiful beach and walking trails Was a bit disappointed on initial check in from what I had expected. As per the photos we felt the cottage was “on” the water, but rather is tucked in the back corner of the main property. Still very beautiful and private and would recommend as well as stay again.

Great little getaway. Would have like a walkable little place to have coffee or breakfast. Other than that it was all good.

Sweet spot for a couple or single
I stayed here with my son and we had a wonderful stay, enjoying the beach and the provincial park next door. But we did not realize the pull-out bed was not included in the rental and when inquired about sheets was surprised the renter would not provide any for the pull-out bed. Luckily there were some sheets in the back bedroom that we were able to use. Note that the hot tub is also not for guests use, nor is the rowboat. Understandable. If it was just me or me and my wife I would stay here again.
