The Perfect Family Getaway

We loved everything about our stay. The cottage was spotless and was located in a beautiful, quiet community. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Our kids loved the mini golf course and swimming in the pool. Rathtrevor Beach was just a short drive away. Karen was a wonderful host and provided detailed instructions that made check-in super easy.

Amazing!

Our recent stay at Hummingbird Cottage, Oceanside Village Resort in Parksville from April 18-22 was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the pristine cleanliness of the cottage and the peaceful property!The cottage was incredibly cozy, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the biggest highlights was the outrageously peaceful and quiet surroundings, offering the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing getaway.We were thoroughly impressed with the owners attention to detail in maintaining such a clean environment, and the amenities catered perfectly to all our needs. It was the ideal escape, blending comfort, tranquility, and convenience seamlessly.Without a doubt, we rate our stay a perfect 10/10. Oceanside Village Resort is a gem in Parksville, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable retreat!

Such a lovely cottage, close to the beach and mini golf!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karen’s cottage. The cottage is decorated well and the kitchen is fully outfitted. It’s an easy walk to the beach and mini golf and ice cream! The beds were comfy and we all slept well. We’d definitely come back and stay here again!

Fantastic Family Getaway

This is our second family vacation at Hummingbird, and we LOVED it. Karen is easy to communicate with and her cottage is just as described. It works perfectly for our multi-generational family getaway, and the location could not be better. Already looking forward to booking next year!

Great place for family getaway

This cottage was exactly as described and was the perfect place to connect with the family. Very comfortable, exceptionally clean and the jetted soaker tub was heaven. The kitchen had all the appliances and dishes we needed. We enjoyed the resort pool and fitness equipment and there were many trails to walk the dog.

This was our first time renting thru VRBO so i didn't know what to expect. I was more than happy with this tastefully decorated property and want to return on our next visit to the Island. Karen & Merv have thought of everything a person could need during their stay at the Hummingbird cottage. Great hosts!

Great getaway in Parksville

Excellent cottage - close to amenities and centrally located allowing us to travel easily north and south on the island. Cottage owners had a very organized and handy binder that answers all your questions about your stay. Comfortable space - indoor and out and close to beautiful Rathtrevor beach (less than 5 min drive).

Hummingbird Cottage is a lovely little space that has everything you may need during your stay. Pride of ownership and desire to offer a clean, family and pet friendly space is apparent. Communication with the owners was great and we would definitely recommend Hummingbird Cottage for your time in Parksville/Qualicum. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Your place to stay in Parksville

This is the second time we have stayed at Hummingbird Cottage and just as impressed as we were the first time around in February 2019. The facility is lovely, very clean, offers all amenities (minus your groceries of course). Being mid island Parksville is close to everything and near the junction to hwy 4 to Tofino. There is so much to do locally one need to travel far to enjoy themselves. Karen is a treat to deal with and one day we will have to actually speak in person as opposed to online. You will not be disappointed staying here.

Good location and clean rooms, we had a great time until a man showed up

We were having a great stay at this lovely property until there was a disturbing incident. On Thursday evening a man drove up in a pick-up, parked across the front of the driveway blocking both cars in, and stormed over to the house where my son and I were chatting near the car. He was clearly angry and without any introduction shouted to my son "What's going on?" We were just chatting, so my son asked him what he meant and again this angry man shouted "What is going on here?" I stepped in and asked what the problem was and again he shouted "What is going on here, why don't you just answer?" Realizing he was looking at our electric vehicle which was plugged into the regular 110V outlet. I explained that we have our car charging. He then told us that he was the owner of the house and why didn't we answer when asked what we were doing. It became clear that he had never seen an electric vehicle charging, so I explained and offered to show him how it worked but he refused to see it. He said that he did not know about this that there would be an extra charge and that we should have asked permission. So I offered to remove it and charge it elsewhere, but this man recognizing that nothing 'bad' was happening reiterated that we should have asked before plugging in a car and then left. He did not introduce himself or apologize. My wife and daughter were very upset at this interaction.
