About this property

Enjoy West Coast Living at it's Best

The Tanglewood Beach House is a sanctuary of tranquillity and sophistication, tastefully furnished to reflect a relaxed seaside lifestyle and to offer you an experience of West Coast living at its best.

The Beach House is centrally located on beautiful Vancouver Island, in the neighbourhood of Tanglewood, only minutes driving distance from Parksville, a quaint seaside community.

The 1150 square foot beach house is situated all on one level for stair-free living with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full gourmet kitchen, dining area and living room. The open plan lends a relaxed feel with beech wood floors extending throughout the living areas to create a low allergen environment.

In the gourmet kitchen you'll find a gas range, oven, microwave, full size refrigerator, dishwasher as well as all the pots, pans, serving dishes and utensils you’ll need to cook a gourmet meal or put together tapas on the long granite island. With the impressive grocery stores, markets and artisans in the area, it is easy to relax, restore and enjoy amazing food and drink. The Tanglewood Beach House is the ideal retreat for time away with wine glasses and martini glasses provided.

Stretch out on the sofa and enjoy the 50” UHD Smart television with digital cable and DVD player. You are welcome to log into this Smart TV with your Netflix account and enjoy personal favourites. Or, curl up with a book on the window seat next to the natural gas fireplace for a lazy morning.

The Main Bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, dressed with fine cotton linens, extra pillows and down duvets and the second bedroom has a queen size bed. You'll find plush bathrobes in each bedroom closet to enjoy during your stay. Comfort and solitude are yours! If you feel like tucking in for the evening, the Main Bedroom also features a 42" television.

Both bathrooms have spacious showers, heated floors and are stocked with luxurious, plump towels. Take time to light some candles and linger in the Main Bathroom's deep soaking tub. Shower gel is provided in each bathroom.

The vaulted ceilings and windows offer beautiful views of the Fir, Cedar and Arbutus forest just outside the doors. Double French doors open onto the patio and the majestic old growth forest of Rathtrevor Provincial Park.

For your enjoyment there is a private outdoor patio with gas barbecue that opens onto a lawn and green space. And for your convenience, there is full size washer and dryer with HE laundry detergent provided.

A five minute stroll takes you down to the world renowned Rathtrevor beach. The water is calm and the sea shells plentiful along this sandy beach. The neighbourhood of Tanglewood runs along side Rathtrevor Provincial Park where you'll find walking and running trails throughout the old growth forest.

During the day build sand castles, hunt for seashells, fly a kite and roast marshmallows over an open fire on the beach. When the tide rolls in over the sun-baked sand, the warmed water is unbeatable for swimming and saltwater fun. Beach toys, cooler, wagon and beach towels are all provided for days full of exploring on the beach. There is no age restriction for the fun you can have on the beach.

A great getaway
The house was absolutely awesome. It was so clean and equipped with everything you might need, starting with the super soft towels, the many kitchen utensils and the various beach toys. We had a great time and would love to come back someday. Thank you Shelley for making our stay such a great experience.

Fabulous stay!
My husband and son stayed a week at this well stocked terrific condo. The location, layout, furnishings and attention to detail made for a fabulous time. Tanglewood is a favourite of ours to stay at, and this was a favourite unit. We will be back!

Peaceful and relaxing spot.
We stayed 19 days in June and July at the Tanglewood Condo. the Condo is fully stocked and conveniently located for Rathtrevor beach. We enjoyed the fact that we could spend time on the beach and then escape elements and relax at the Condo, a short 5 minutes from the beach. We stayed with 2 children age 10 and 2 and I have to say they loved the experience. When we were not at the beach they were playing in the green area at the back of the Condo. they loved the daily visits by the local deer and rabbits. My children will never forget this experience. Highly recommend this condo for young families wanting to relax and let the kids play. thank you and we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Robertson

Host profile image
We have been welcoming guests into The Tanglewood Beach House since 2007 and have had so many wonderful experiences. Its so rewarding when people love the House and this beautiful part of the world as much as we do.

I am very detail oriented or particular as some would say, but I do channel that into the details that make The Tanglewood Beach House a unique vacation property. The kitchen is outfitted with every pot, pan and utensil you might imagine. The beds are very comfy and dressed with quality linens. The bathroom towels are plush and the decor comfortable yet sophisticated. We love our Beach House and we invite to stay in our happy place.

Why they chose this property

We chose Parksville for our family vacations for a number of years and it just kept calling us back. When the opportunity came to settle in the neighbourhood of Tanglewood, we couldn't resist. It is such a restful place. The old growth forest of Rathtrevor Provincial Park, the proximity to the beach and the activities in the area make it the ideal location for time away.

What makes this property unique

The Tanglewood Beach House offers well curated, upscale surroundings which I believe are key to restful time away.

It's a combination of all the little things we look after to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You'll enjoy a great night's sleep in beds that are comfortable and dressed in crisp linens. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils to make meal prep a breeze. The living area is open and inviting with plenty of seating and a 50" Smart TV for nights tucked in. The back patio has plenty of space for relaxing in the afternoon sun next to the old growth forest of Rathtrevor Park. The Parksville area has so many varied activities to enjoy and at the end of the day, The Tanglewood Beach House is your well appointed home away from home.
