Absolutely fantastic! Stunning views, beautiful area and staff was fantastic! My sister and I have been dealing with our very sick Mom in hospital. We took two nights to regenerate. The woman and the front was so amazing and welcoming

Unit was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It was decorated nicely. Coffee pot needs to be replaced was the only complaint it was very slow and may just need cleaning. Beds were comfortable. Office staff was very pleasant.

The condo was really lovely - we had everything we needed! The location was perfect for us - just a short hop to Rathtrevor Beach and Parksville. I would highly recommend this resort. We did not use the hot tub (pool wasn't open yet) but it looked nice as well. Really clean, easy check in/check out.

The suite was very comfortable with good amenities on the property for a young family. The staff were very friendly and eager to help. Access to the beach is a huge asset and there other fun attractions nearby.

What a great place to stay! Spent 4 nights and would have lived a whole lot more. Oceanfront property but protected from any spring ocean wind by landscaping. A little walk down to the beach but there is an outdoor elevator for those with some mobility concerns. The condo is cozy with lots of west coast character, a gas fireplace that you can set to your perfect temperature and big windows to take advantage of the view. Beds are very comfy with fluffy comforters and room darkening curtains. Kitchen is very well equipped with a big dining table and there is a bar b que and patio table for outdoor eating. The pool on site was closed and the hot tub is shared and indoor but right beside by the pool close to condo. Really good restaurants and coffee nearby - be sure to try the Black Goose Pub. Famous Rathtrevor beach is right beside and when the tide is out you can walk and walk on beautiful sand, or fly kites, or just enjoy the incredible mountain views across the ocean. Lots of forest hiking nearby - right beside the ocean by Rathtrevor or just down the road in so many places. …

We are return customer to Ocean Sands and have yet to have anything but an enjoyable experience. Looking out on the ocean is such a gift. When we were there the snowfall was 14 inches but it did not detract from the experience.

We visited early Nov, and weather was excellent. Right from my first telephone call, and just about every day during our stay, Jennifer was on the front desk and she was absolutely amazing! Pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and easy to chat with. And when Jennifer wasn't there then Cindy was eager to help also. We were there for 4 nights, and then decided to stay another 4. As there was someone coming in our current unit the next day, we chose another 2 bedroom which was even nicer, with a better ocean view. Units are very clean and well taken care, with just about every appliance and kitchen gadget you could think of! Beds are really comfy, and there are separate thermostats for just about every room in the unit. Windows are large and have excellent water views. Ocean Sands is a great central location in Parksville, and I know we will certainly be back again. Thank you Jennifer!…

We stayed in condo 320. It was PERFECT. Immaculately clean, well- stocked with everything we needed including plenty of towels. The view was spectacular. A very warm and comfortable place. We only wished we had booked to stay longer. Will definitely come back for a longer stay. It was harder to close the door for the last time. Book this condo and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Staff very nice, Rooms spotless. Suite on 2nd floor was fabulous. Bright with wonderful view of water and distant mountains. Lower floor suite did not have a great view but just had t walk out onto patio for view. Lower floor suite was slightly musty smelling...left window open and smell was gone by next day.

A clean and well appointed apartment with a spectacular view and wonderful walking opportunities at low tide. You can save money by doing some cooking on your own, but why would you when there are great coffee shops and restaurants within a short walk.
