Great location! Plenty of room and a very comfortable, clean cottage. The beds were also very comfortable and the loft bedroom and ensuite were perfect for our teenager! I would definitely stay again and recommend the cottage to anyone looking for accommodation for a larger group in that area.

Mermaid Cottage

The TV was absolutely terrible. We are seniors and do not use apps to watch TV. We like cable TV. We pay enough for our stay and should get real TV(cable). Also, the tube is extremely high and the telephone shower must have 7 ft tall. Real problem reaching it. No bars to help getting in and out of the tub. That is dangerous so hop this helps for future renters.

We had a great stay. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Dahlia responded to all our questions in a timely manner. The only downside was that for the time we were there, the hot tub was not functioning properly.

Very disappointing that the gas fireplace was out of service and I had requested a complete listing of everything provided in the kitchen but didn't receive one so I brought many items that it turned out were provided. Found it difficult to find the unit as you can't see the cabin numbers in the dark.

Wonderful stay at Mermaid Cottage

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Mermaid Cottage. The space was well equipped with everything you need to enjoy a vacation in Parksville. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were thoughtful additions such as beach chairs and games. The bbq was excellent. The location was perfect. Our kids biked around the complex, enjoyed the ice cream at mini golf and loved the pool. It was so close to Rathtrevor and Coombes. Highly recommend. Great host!
