Lovely stay
We love Pacific Shores and this is our third stay at the resort and first at this rental. The unit was extremely clean and nicely laid out. Be aware that due to the age of the building you can hear water running in the bathroom when the neighbours run a bath or shower and it can seem a little loud at night. We stayed there with our young kids and I think our footsteps were too loud for the neighbours below. As a top floor suite, I do not recommend this for a loud family like ours. Otherwise the suite is lovely and has an incredible view of the estuary and sunset.

Great place to stay near Parksville.
Loved the location. The rooms were spacious and comfortable especially with the extra offside room. There were 6 of us (4 adult and 2 children). Loved the pool and hot tub and the kids pool outside. The grounds were really nice as well and being right on the ocean was wonderful. It was very hot while we were there and we had to have the stand fans going all night to stay reasonably cool, but that worked. The host was very responsive to any issues. We stayed 14 days and would definitely go back.

Great stay in nature
Had an amazing time staying here for three months with my wife and dogs. Dahlia was an incredible host, even responding immediately when we had questions on new years day. Great trails right outside your door, views are even better than the photos, bed was comfy, pool was heated with hottub and sauna, kitchen well equipped and spacious rooms with all the furnishings. Many great trails within 5 minute drive. Would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful and spacious accommodations that are well located to easily reach numerous attractions, parks and the beaches. There were absolutely no issues during our one month stay here, and Dahlia promptly responded when I had a question regarding a tripped fuse bellow the hair dryer. Wholeheartedly recommend this rental.

Fantastic island getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Retreat. The view of the estuary from the patio was beautiful for both morning coffee and evening sunsets. The rooms were spacious and well appointed and our family quickly made it a home away from home. Communication with the property manager was quick and professional. We'd highly recommend the property and would stay again!

Great family vacation! The pictures didn’t do it justice, the condo was very spacious. Loved the kids pool and hot tub area. Great overall experience, will definitely come back soon! My only suggestion would be to have a few kitchen cloths/dishcloths as there was only one and the mattresses weren’t comfortable but could be fixed with a topper.

Great sunset views!
We stayed there at the end of July 2022. We rented both units (A & B). The units were very clean, in good repair and have beautiful decor. We had beautiful sunset views. We enjoyed exploring the beach, and also lots of cycling. Only downside is that there is no air conditioning and we were there during a heatwave, and only one fan per unit.
