Families will appreciate the all-inclusiveness of these condo units right on the beach five minutes south of Parksville. Ocean Sands Resort overlooks Rathtrevor Beach, another family-friendly beach in the Parksville strip of beaches, and when the tide goes out, sandy beach play abounds. Located on four acres, the resort has plenty of green space, a small playground, and an outdoor seasonal pool. Choose from fully equipped one and two-bedroom units with full kitchens, gas fireplaces, and patios or balconies. It’s worth paying a little more for an ocean view.
