Lovely unit, right across from the beach.
The unit was very nice, spotless upon arrival. Owners kindly let us in early, which was much appreciated. Quick responses to our questions. Location was great, quiet and right across from beach, 5 minutes to town for groceries, etc. No complaints at all!

Parksville stay
Such a top notch place to stay! The host, Aileen, is not only a lovely person but she has really put so much thought into the place. From the decorations, to the quality household items to make your stay more comfortable. You will not find a more thoughtful host!! There is plenty of privacy and it really does feel like a home away from home! 10/10! Thank you!

There are so many positives about the Polished Pebble. Very clean, organized, comfortable and easy communication with Aileen. Beach access is across the road and there are deer and cute bunnies in the area. It’s a wonderful place to stay and we will hopefully be back.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay with our family of 4. We were able to use the BBQ and also enjoyed the convenience of a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The suite was clean and quiet and my daughter enjoyed the ocean theme throughout the home. Loved that the beach was within walking distance. The beach toys and wagon was also very handy for us to use with the kids when going out. One minor inconvenience was that there was no dining table, only a breakfast bar with tall stools. It was hard to safely contain our 2 year old during meal times and messes were made all over the floor. Luckily the suite also had a vacuum which was also very good for clean up.

Beautiful suite near ocean
The place was very clean and beautiful. Everything we needed was there, including beach toys, beach chairs, wagon to take to beach, kids toys and games and more! There was access to a rocky beach just across the street and it was also close to sandy Parksville beach (5 min drive) and Rathtrevor beach (5 min drive). You could also walk to Rathtrevor through the forested area by the ocean too, which was beautiful. We would definitely recommend this place!

Beware the stairs
The first thing we noticed was the 14 step staircase to get up to this lovely place. We are seniors and it was a lot to bring up all you take for a 10 day stay! Our host knew our ages (75 &87) and did not make us aware of this and a photo on the website would certainly have been helpful. Yes there is a washer and dryer but one would need to stand on a stool or chair to read the panel for the dryer. This place has stunning decor! The kitchen does not leave you wanting for anything. All appliance are top quality. Very deep tub to step up into for a shower and no safety grab bar. There should be a step stool if you need anything from even the second shelves in kitchen. That sounds like a lot of complaining but it is an honest review of our experience here. The stairs preclude us from a second stay.

This property is fully loaded and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has everything you would need. The gardens are lovely and many beach access points are within walking distance. Loved bird watching at the estuary. Great instruction book on site. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks Aileen!

Perfect Location & Wonderful Experience
I absolutely love Parksville and this was the perfect place to enjoy it from. It's tucked away right at the edge of the town so it's convenient but it feels like you're a million miles away from everything distracting. We could hear and see the ocean and even smell the fresh salt air! Everything was clean, easy to understand and perfectly laid out. We had complete privacy yet we knew that our hosts were close by if needed. I'd stay again without hesitation.

Wonderful Clean Place in Parksville
We had a wonderful say. It was our first VRBO experience and we will do it again. This place was so clean and so well appointed and the location was in perfect proximity to the beach. I liked it so much more than hotel. The host Aileen was so nice and made us feel right at home.

Positive Plus Experience at the Polished Pebble
We loved staying at the Polished Pebble—quiet residential neighborhood; Clean with a capital C; Helpful, detailed instructions about appliances, recycling, and checkout procedures. Aileen, the host, was very helpful with some scheduling issues we had. The 2bedroom unit is gorgeous—beautifully decorated, with great attention to thoughtful details— a real delight to stay here with private beach access. Don’t miss the nearby Animal Recovery Sanctuary—it’s incredible and the Country Store with goats living on the roof! Highly recommend this one!
