Outstanding!
From the initial contact through to check-out, our experience at Parkside Cottage was exceptional. All the little touches were there including fully equipped kitchen with an assortment of staple items supplied, bathroom with plenty of towels, bedrooms with plenty of storage and comfy beds. The outdoor areas were great too with a covered porch and a patio with gas BBQ. The proximity to Seal Bay Park (trail entrance right next door), the airport, and the relative closeness of Courtney make this an ideal property to stay at. The hosts do their best to make this property the best that we have ever stayed in!

Great stay for our getaway.
This cottage is bright, spacious, very clean and well laid out with all the amenities one could want. It’s easy to find and check-in is a breeze. The property is quiet and at night there’s no city lights to obstruct star gazing. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again.

Family getaway
We had a wonderful time at the Parkside Cottage. We traveled with our toddler and small dog, and felt right at home. The cottage was well equipped and kid friendly. The fenced yard was great for our dog and toddler to run around. The location is right beside the Seal Bay Park trailhead, which had wonderful trails. I highly recommend this property!

Andrea and Scott have a cozy, welcoming cottage with everything you might need for a family stay. We were in town for a family reunion with four adults. Five-star comfort and tranquility. Loved the outside sitting area and table fireplace.

A lovely, private, rural property with great access to nature trails. Perfect for relaxing in comfort, with the added bonus of being dog friendly. We enjoyed evenings both outside and in, benefitting from thoughtful styling and amenities. Many thanks to Andrea and Scott for hosting us. We hope to be back!

Wonderful home and beautiful location
The house was really lovely and like new. Nicely appointed with any kitchen gadget you could need and the overall amenities were great. We had our dog with us and it was wonderful having a fully enclosed lot around the house. It’s next door to a gorgeous trail system in the forest with access to Seal Bay park. We’ll definitely stay again!

Fanastic place to stay with family and pets
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage with our baby and 2 small dogs. It had everything we needed, including a big yard for the dogs to run around in. Tons of things to do nearby with the dogs, including the fantastic trails right next door in Seal Bay (including a beautiful walk to the ocean where we saw Seals and Bald Eagles everytime). There is also a dog friendly leash optional sand beach (Saratoga Beach) within a 20 min drive. Andrea is a fantastic host and we look forward to coming back!

Wonderful!!!
We were lucky to come across this great cottage in a lovely area of Vancouver Island. It is spacious and very well equipped; Parkside has everything you may need. And the location is very handy to Courtenay and Comox; a great area for exploring. We had Shaka, our ridgeback with us, and the fact that the cottage is right on the doorstep to one of the entrances of a large park (Seal Bay Nature Park) which has fabulous trails both on-leash and off-leash (except April through June) was such a bonus! It was lovely to meet Andrea, such a friendly host! We have no hesitation in recommending Parkside Cottage, just a lovely place to stay and we do hope to return!!
