We enjoyed a great get away at Ocean Sands Resort this April. The condo (unit 217) had two bedrooms with a very comfortable queen and king size bed, full size kitchen and bathroom plus a lovely living room. It was all very well furnished and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. The fire place was a real bonus. The... More

My husband, 5 year old daughter and I went to Parksville to have quiet Easter and that is what we got. Not only was the view spectacular but our accomodations were great. The extra bonuses were, the beach fire we had and the wonderful Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. Overall it is a great place and we are considering... More

With the special spring package rates, this is a great time to book a suite for a few nights. With family visiting from France, we booked suite 104 with queen & 2 double beds, kitchen, eating/living room with fireplace, and 1 main bathroom. This is an ocean facing suite with terrific views. Mornings we watched the sea birds gathering on... More

We had a great time at Ocean Sands Resort over the Easter Break. Suite 207 was perfect. It was well stocked, clean and comfortable and the view is amazing. The grounds are well kept are you are just steps away from Rathtrevor Beach. Our two year old son spent hours in the tide pools. We highly recommend it and will... More

I had booked at Ocean Sands through booking.com but when I arrived at the resort they initially could not locate my reservation and had no unit booked for me. When the owner arrived, he quickly searched for my booking and found it and apologized for the discrepancy. As it was Spring break there was only one unit remaining, which slept... More

We had a Groupon for a 7 night stay. Origonally booked in a studio with a bar fridge and micro. Upgraded to a two bedroom (did not use one of the bedrooms) for a minimal charge and we extended the stay by a night. Top floor, overlooking a wonderful expanse of yard (where we saw deer and rabbits each day)... More

TV & wi-fi did not work well, no bath tub, only standup shower, dated room. It is a condo- so these rooms do not... More

We have stayed at Ocean Sands three times now and I have not once been disappointed. Rooms are great, clean, well stocked and a good size making it feel like a home away from home. The views are just fabulous and in our latest room the tide comes up close to the walkway so all you saw was ocean. Great... More
