Took a trip out to the island to attend a foraging event put on by the university and we found this…read morelittle gem which is only a 10 min drive away from the Marine field station. Bev is the owner and she is very kind! She rents out the separate suite in the lower half of her beautiful home. There are two bedroom - one with a queen size bed and the second with two single beds. There is a full sized bathroom and a nice living room with a gas fireplace for those chilly night. The couch pulls out into a queen bed as well so you can easily sleep 6 people in this suite. It looks our onto the beautiful Strait of Georgia - we honestly were sad to leave! There is a fully stocked kitchen all you have to do is bring your own food and drink and you can relax and have a great time! We plan on brining our kids next time and staying to enjoy the beautiful view some more. Bev was kind enough to offer a bottle of white wine which was nice after our long day out on the beach foraging for shellfish. This place is a gem for sure and we would recommend it to anyone looking to get away and stay on the island.

From the owner: Oceanside Haven is a private, quiet place to stay with all of the comforts of home and…read morebreath-taking views across the Strait of Georgia.

Ocean Sands Resort is more of a spacious 2 bedroom condo than a resort…read more The suite we stayed in was on the second floor. It had a master bedroom with a king size bed and the second bedroom had 2 single beds. Our party was 4 adults and 1 child to share 1 bathroom, but it worked out for us. The full kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast whenever we wanted. The living room has enough seating for all of us and it was it was an open layout that connected with the kitchen as well as the dining room. There's a balcony right from the living room as well as a window looking out to the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to each morning. I remember waking at up 5:25AM to go to the washroom and I was such in awe of the sun just peaking out from the horizon that I decided to stay up to watch the sunrise. There's also a children's playground on the main Parking floor. It's small, but sufficient and kept my daughter happy. The only thing that prevented Ocean Sands from being 5 stars is due to the wear and tears of the place. The 2 Lazy Boy seats had tears near the head rest and generally the place was on the older side. There's also a few areas that needed cleaning and attention outside. Other than that, we all enjoyed our stay and would stay here again when we visit Parksville.

The Ocean Sands is a great value. Our well-furnished large room had a hot tub, shower,…read morerefrigerator, microwave, fireplace, large TV and good wifi. It was all clean and well-maintained and very reasonably priced. Our oceanfront unit (310A) had a fabulous ocean view, patio and lawn. Note: In the oceanfront units, rooms numbered in the 300's are the bottom floor and 100's area the top floor, probably because you take an elevator down from the parking lot.
