Forest Oasis

The quiet townhouse nestled among the trees, a short walk to the amazing Rathtrevor Beach, equals a perfect holiday. The home has a full compliment kitchen with an icemaker! A lovely gas fireplace and very comfortable beds, even bikes to explore a little further if you felt so inclined. Thank you for sharing your island home with us.

Beautiful beach house

Joanne and Doug's beach house is a beautiful place to stay. It accommodated all six of us comfortably; it was beautifully clean and a very restful place to be; and the back patio was the perfect place to enjoy some peace and a good book! We loved it there. Thank you Joanne and Doug for a lovely holiday!

Everything we hoped for

Joanne's place was perfect. It is a beautiful property, close to the beach, with everything you could need, spices in the kitchen, toys and coloring things for the kids. We used the wagon and sand toys every time we went to the beach! We would stay again and highly recommend it.

Wish We'd Planned to Stay Longer!

This was the best equipped accomodation we've ever rented. Douglas and Joanne have a lovely home with everything you will need for a comfortable stay from a coffee grinder to bicycles and helmets! We appreciated the comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms, recliners in the living room, the fireplace, . . . we could go on and on. We hope to come back soon.

Wonderful Parksville Stay

We (family of four from the UK) enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in Joanne and Doug’s beautiful rental in the private Tanglewood resort in Parksville. All communications were excellent, and if anything, the actual property (location, furnishings, kitchen and bathroom supplements, beach equipment) is even better than suggested by the description and pictures. In addition to enjoying the property itself and Rathtrevor Beach, we enjoyed sea kayaking and whale watching on the Georgia Strait. Very easy to access from Nanaimo. Would highly recommend.

Love this condo

This is one of our favourite condo’s to stay in Tanglewood. The owners are fantastic to deal with and it is so fully stocked we can make wonderful meals. My son was thrilled to be able to bike around the area (thanks to the three bikes on site) and my daughter loves the reading nook by the fireplace, where we saw several deer go by. Great location to walk to the beach, the black goose inn or over to the grotto spa. Of course we will be back.
