Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Sunshine Coast Regional District

We stayed here for a week, and wished it could have been longer. The location and the view from the unit is absolutely beautiful; only a short drive into Parksville and Qualicum, as well as Nanaimo, and yet when you are staying here, you feel like you could be miles from anywhere. Lovely walking trails around, amazing beach and great facilities made this the perfect spot for us to base ourselves and explore the area. The unit itself is impeccable and had all the amenities one could need, and lots of thoughtful little details that made this a stay we will remember. We will definitely be back, and will be recommending this place to family and friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Randy and Barb’s condo. The condo was very clean, tasteful and roomy. It was equipped with everything we needed!! The resort had many desirable amenities including exercise room, pool and a good restaurant and lounge. We communicated with Randy a few times and he was always responsive, prompt and helpful. It was very apparent that the quality of our stay was very important to Randy and Barb. We really appreciated that. We highly recommend this listing!!

Perfect space for a quick getaway! unfortunately we only stayed one night,but definitely wished we could stay longer. We were in a pinch finding space quickly and Raylene jumped to action with quick responses and care for our situation. clean, comfortable , welcoming space. The resort is in a beautiful location. Ammenties are appealing and the neighbourhood has everything one needs !

Beautiful spot right on the water. Super clean and spacious room for two of us. Would stay again for sure!

Mermaid Cove was lovely and luxurious! The apartment was clean, spacious, homey, and so nicely decorated; it had every amenity you could think of and even some I'd never thought of before (fancy pillow mist!). The location was fantastic!! A nice end unit right next to a walking path and beach access. The resort was fabulous, with great pools, restaurant and spa. We (and our toddler) especially loved the outdoor kiddie pool with slide and pirate playground. Kimberley and John were exceptional hosts with great communication and were very responsive. We had a wonderful stay!!

Absolutely wonderful spot! Very clean, peaceful and private. Great location as well. Would love to return for another retreat again in the future. 😊

My wife and I were here for a couple of days to visit some family. Since we’re from Calgary, we were hoping to be close to the water. This place did not disappoint! I would say we were 15 steps away from the water. It was really nice to have a coffee in the morning and be able to walk to a small patio to enjoy the view. This location also has a great restaurant that is also on the property. Everyone was super nice and the food was delicious. Another great thing about this location was the access to the pool and hot tubs. There is one indoors and one outdoors. Both were enjoyable but I definitely preferred the outdoor one. Everything was super quiet and calm. Made the stay that much more relaxing. Would definitely come here again in the future!

Enjoyed stay, great location, clean and comfortable. Reasonable price. Would recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. So much thought was put into to making a cozy, comfortable stay. So much swimming, ocean, hot tubs and pools. Jennifer is a great host. As a side note: we are from Vancouver and do our best to not drive. This vacation rental is fully accessible by public transit from Vancouver, a break from the city without needing a vehicle, whatever your reasons might be. Highly recommend. Thanks Jennifer!

This was our second times staying at Shanon’s condo. 5 stars all around!

Beds are VERY comfortable! We slept soundly both nights. Good shower head in the master shower. Linens were clean and fresh. Quiet complex. Zero issues. Overall the condo is very homey and cozy. Well appointed kitchen and we wanted for nothing. Host was responsive and friendly and generously offered a late checkout as it worked for her schedule.

Kim hosted some of our family for our wedding at Pacific Shores. Everything went great, checkin was easy and Kim was super helpful, responsive and communicative about everything needed for the place. Lovely condo in a beautiful resort. 5 🌟 experience!

We loved our stay at Andrea’s place. It was extremely clean. The space had everything we needed even down to a bin of spare chargers! It was also very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. It even had good coffee!!! The toys, books and board games were such a lovely touch and were so helpful for us entertaining our kids. I find traveling with children they aren’t always as welcomed but we certainly didn’t feel that during our stay here. We had the opportunity to request a high chair and pack and play (with a crib mattress). It was an easy walk to the beach and we very much enjoyed our time exploring what Parksville had to offer. It was April when we visited but the close proximity to the pool in the summer months would also be a hit. Andrea was very accommodating and we can’t wait to come back. I’d give her more stars if I could!

It was a sweet retreat! Unique because of it being two units with an adjoining door. Nice water view and separate balconies. We appreciated the amenities (pool, kiddie pool, hot tubs, restaurant, and walkable grounds). Ideally situated between Parksville/Qualicum/Coombs and Nanaimo. Host was very responsive. Hope to go again.

Seriously the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. Incredibly clean, perfectly located (easy access from the parking lot AND perfect access to the pool/hot tub). They really thought of everything and fully stocked the unit. I was scattered while packing and forgot to pack a playpen for my toddler - they HAD a playpen! And it was clean! They also had a high chair - seriously everything you need is here. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful apartment with a really nice unobstructed sea view. Everything just like in the photos, clean and lots of natural light. I really enjoyed the beautiful bathroom…very nicely done. The bed is huge and very comfy as well. The view from the rooms and balconies is exceptional and really lovely. The whole property is really nice and well maintained. Especially enjoyed the bbq areas and fireplaces in the common areas. Communication was very good and check in instructions easy and clear. Overall we had a lovely stay and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the sea and nature of Vancouver Island. You would definitely need a car there, as there is not so much to do in a walking distance. Closes town is approx. 5 - 10 min. Drive. Ferry in Nanaimo about 20-30 minutes. Very convenient!

Anthony was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay there. We just wish that it was a little bit more private.

We enjoyed our stay. The airbnb was spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. We were in Parksville awaiting the birth of our grandson so it was a nice place to pass the time until baby's arrival. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals, the area has lots of nice walking trails, we enjoyed using the hot tub and the view from our unit was a nice surprise.

Viktoria is a great host. Everything was prepared very thoroughly, from sleeping masks to different kinds of sugar and fresh flowers in the room. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it.

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

Stayed here for a week early June and it was exactly as described. The place was beautiful and had everything we needed. It’s in a convenient location. The beds were comfortable. Would definitely come back! Thanks again.

Kim has a great place in Nanoose Bay!! Right on the water, great place to relax & enjoy the beautiful area! Great amenities to enjoy and place is well stocked & lots of space to enjoy!

Perfect for our stay as a family of 4! Great home base for our vacation. Very, very clean! Andrew provided clear instructions. Had everything we needed. We walked to the pool every evening, and enjoyed the weather on the back patio. Neighbourhood was quiet, with lots of places to explore nearby. 10/10!

We really enjoyed our stay at Andrew’s air bnb. Simple instructions and great location lots of beaches and restaurants near by, im sure if we stay in Parksville again we will return.
