About this property

Beachfront at Tanglewood By The Sea. Rathtrevor Beach Haven.


WE ARE LOCATED IN THE DESIGNATED RESORT AREA OF RATHTREVOR BEACH AND ARE FULLY LICENSED BY CITY OF PARKSVILLE BUSINESS LICENSE NUMBER 00005690

Choose Rathtrevor Beach Haven for your next vacation and look forward to returning home with some very special memories!

We are situated on Resort Drive within the Tanglewood complex, right on fabulous Rathtrevor Beach, in the heart of the international tourist and golf destination of Oceanside, at Parksville, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Vancouver Island, particularly the Rathtrevor/Oceanside area, is noted for its spectacular natural beauty, temperate climate and wide range of outdoor activities including outstanding golf courses and deep sea fishing.

Fantastic location.....Mere footsteps to the beach. We have a very unique location with features that few others in the area can rival. Bordered by ocean and forest, we have a remarkably tranquil, private setting. Rathtrevor Beach is renowned for it's magnificent beauty, miles of soft sand and safe, warm, ocean swimming. Couple that with being nestled beside the enchanting old growth forest of Rathtrevor Provincial Park, with its miles of hiking and biking trails meandering along the ocean and through the forest..... and you have a winning combination for a fantastic getaway.

A home away from home... As many of our guests have remarked, our Beach Haven is all that they anticipated and more. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath condominium is spacious and bright, with over 1200 square feet, cathedral ceilings with skylights and numerous windows. It has all of the conveniences one would expect to find in a luxury condominium. Large, fully equipped kitchen, separate dining room, four flat screen TV's, Netflix, 2 DVD players, high speed internet/wifi, gas fireplace, gas barbeque and patio table and chairs on our private roof deck, grassed yard, covered carport, storage area for bicycles etc. The condominium sleeps six comfortably with two queen pillow-top beds in separate rooms and 2 twin beds in another bedroom.

The best of both worlds... The beauty of staying at our Beach Haven is that you have all the advantages of being in the heart of an international tourist destination while still feeling miles away from anywhere in this peaceful, secluded setting where you can watch the deer and rabbits feed at the water's edge, right outside your window. You are less than a 5 minute drive to Parksville and 20 minutes to Nanaimo, approximate population 10,000 and 100,000 respectively.

Fantastic day-trips... Within an approximate two hour scenic drive in any direction, visit the charming capital city of Victoria to the south, stopping in at Chemainus, famous for it's murals and Duncan, the 'City of Totems', go north to the beautiful Comox Valley and smaller islands of Denman and Hornby or head to the wild and rugged West Coast with the world famous Long Beach and it's quaint fishing villages of Tofino and Ucuelet.

Simply relax... A great alternative is to spend your days relaxing on the fantastic beach or exploring the neighbouring provincial park, on foot or by bicycle. Take in the beauty of Rathtrevor, with the ocean set against the stunning backdrop of snow-capped coastal mountains, while Eagle's soar and Blue Herons feed. At day's end, decide whether to fire up the barbeque and dine in on our private roof deck, picnic in the park or enjoy one of the many restaurants in the area. After dinner, choose to either take an evening stroll on the beach or seawall, relax by the fireplace, have a campfire in our designated firepit on the beach, watch for Alaskan cruise ships sailing past, experience one of many local entertainment options or simply stargaze.

Come to Rathtrevor Beach Haven and experience all that we and Vancouver Island have to offer.

The Beach Haven is a non-smoking, no pets unit.
There is professional cleaning service before arrival and after departure.

Excellent stay and host

This a great unit and the host are wonderful. Location is right next to park so quiet. Views are lovely. The unit is spacious so could accommodate our group very easily. It was spotless, and well appointed, extremely comfortable. The hosts we easy to work with and very accommodating. Also honest (other similar units had weird 'doubling' of charges-this property was forthright and fair.) HIGHLY recommend this stay!

Perfect getaway property

We stayed here over Christmas and it was everything we could have wished for. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and a decent knife set. The dining room table was large enough for six but could easily accommodate more. The view and proximity to the beach was perfect. The host was gracious and provided prompt answers to all of my questions and even set up a Christmas tree and a few decorations (tastefully done). I think this is one of the best experiences with a vacation rental I have had and would happily recommend it.

A clean place with a great view

This property and complex is very well maintained and clean. The location is perfect. Minutes away from the beach/minigolf/shopping. But more importantly the hosts are amazing. Communication was key and very accommodating. Made fabulous suggestions for the area. The rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. We all had some of the best sleeps. We will definitely be back.

Parksville in September

Had another wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed a mid-September getaway to the wonderful Rathtrevor beach. A great home base for daytrips to Cathedral Grove and beachcombing at Madrona Point and Beachcomber Regional Park. Thrilled to see lots of sealife and enjoyed walking the Estuary and Top Bridge trails. We hope to return next Spring. Thanks again for letting us share your wonderful condo!

Only 100 steps from beach!

My wife and I stayed here and the location is perfect. You have the park and beach just steps away. We would spend most of our days in the park and beach and the kids absolutely loved being there. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had good supplies, and there were some good beach toys in the storage area. We even got to use the bikes from the storage area as a nice bonus! Will definitely be coming back!

A Wonderful Week

Beautiful condo in a beautiful location! We spent a week at Rathtrevor Beach and had a great time with our group of 6 which included my husband and me, our daughter and son-in-law law and young grandchildren. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the condo was very quiet. The location was just perfect for making the short walk to the beach or just spending time relaxing in the living area. We were definitely sad to leave, but we are already planning our next stay! Thank you, Joyce, for sharing your lovely home with us.

Once again we were thoroughly impressed with cleanliness and comfort of the condo. The location can’t be beat - mere steps from Rathtrevor Park and the beach, and a fantastic home base for trips further afield (Kinsol Trestle was spectacular!). Joyce and Max were wonderful and went the extra mile to make sure our stay was trouble free. We will definitely book again!

Superb!

An incredible stay! Tanglewood 16 surpassed our expectations in every way. Communications with Joyce and Max were excellent: responses were quick and detailed and these wonderful owners have left nothing to chance. The condo is spotless, with everything we needed for a very relaxed and enjoyable stay. We were there for two months and loved the close proximity of Rathtrevor Provincial Park, the beautiful Salish Sea and beach just steps away. Joyce and Max go out of their way to ensure guests have the perfect stay. We highly recommend their lovely condo, and we'd love to return.

Perfect Location!

We had a lovely stay at Tanglewood #16. My kids loved playing on the beach in the day, even in January! We used the beach fire pit every day. The unit was well equipped and had everything we needed. We were able to cook full meals with the well stocked kitchen. The unit was clean and suited my family perfectly. I would book this unit again in a heartbeat. It was the perfect get away location for a family get away.

My family and I loved our stay! The unit was cozy, quiet and clean, with a view of the ocean from the dining room and the living room. We loved walking out the door and being just a few steps from the beach. The beds were very comfortable (and I am very picky ever since I fractured my spine). The kitchen was very well stocked. I already dream of going back next year.

Very happy with the condo

Very happy with the condo, the only issue we had was locking and unlocking of the upper deck, because of that we didn’t use the deck. The bedrooms were very spacious, kitchen had everything we needed. There was 5 of us, so having 2 bathrooms was awesome! Lower deck was used a lot and loved the short walk to the beach. We walked the beach everyday - found a few shell…..it was great! Yes we would rent it again

Harrowing steps and parking space

We enjoyed the modern condo. Everything promised was availability to us. Perhaps a little more emphasis should have been made on the access to the condo and the parking space. There are an exceptional number of steps to gain access which, being age 84 myself would be a problem for handicap and elderly people. Unfortunately, my wife is on peritoneal dialysis requiring 10 litres of fluid each night this fluid plus the equipment was hard to navigate upwards. I have never seen a parking space so hard to maneuver out of. There is a sharp upward incline and an immediate turn to the left making it awkward to see while requiring the vehicle to be reving up to overcome the incline. The the vehicle then starts to go downhill while travelling backwards making a safe maneuver difficult. Then an attempt to go ahead and make a sharp left hand turn to avoid hitting a building and likely having to back up to adjust the turn the second time in some cases made the whole adventure unnerving. I believe these problems should be included in the promotional material as some drivers likely would be intimidated with the whole adventure. The host said the matter of the stairs was in the material but the great number of steps to be navigated was not emphasized enough. Sent from my iPad

Beachside Heaven

We really enjoyed our week in this lovely home. The views and the location are unbeatable, and the condo itself is amazingly well equipped. It is well stocked with all the amenities of home and unbelievably comfortable. We were only steps from famous Rathtrevor beach and the Provincial park next door and took advantage by walking the beach and the trails each day. We’ll certainly be recommending this wonderful vacation home to all our friends and family.

Great family getaway

We really enjoyed this property. Really well set up for our family with 2 teenagers. We all had our own space and the kitchen was well set up to actually cook and eat in. Location was wonderful. Enjoyed the view and great walks on the beach as well as access to the spa and restaurants in neighbourhood resorts. Only small suggestion would be an update to the mattress in the primary bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce

Host profile image
We are small business owners who live in the Rathtrevor Beach area. Unlike many vacation rentals we are always close at hand should you need anything and we take a hands on approach to ensure our condo is maintained to the highest of standards.

Why they chose this property

We love nature and the ocean in particular, hiking, biking, beach fires and wide open spaces. Rathtrevor Beach is a very special place that has provided all that and so much more, being only 5 minutes from the City of Parksville with all of the amenities and attractions of this international tourist destination.

What makes this property unique

We purchased our Beach Haven before it was built, therefore had our choice within this 20 unit, upscale complex. It has the best location on the beach and we have what we feel is one of the best locations within. The location appealed to us because of it's natural setting away from the central courtyard and next to the park. This offered so much potential for privacy and tranquility, with lovely forest and ocean views besides. It was a great choice and we have never looked back!
