Bien situé,chambre très propre.
Mais l endroit est en rénovation et très bruyant! Vraiment pas agréable!
17h toujours en travaux et la réception nous dissent qu’il y a encore au moin une heure de travaux, à voir..

Love the renovations. The room we had was excellent. Ground floor was perfect as we had our grandchildren over and they loved being able to go in and out with ease. The view was excellent. Very close to downtown. Everything was in walking distance.
I only had a few cons: no toaster, hair dryer or side tables. Could have used a little broom for quick clean ups.
We will definitely return and have already mentioned the place to family and friends.

For the price we paid, we can't really complain but even at a low cost, I do expect a cleanliness. A little extra effort cleaning the bathroom would go a long way to having made me feel more comfortable staying here. There was a lot of dirt along the bathroom floor, between the floor and the walls/bathtub that left me feeling as though the room had not properly been cleaned in awhile. Some good cleaner, a little elbow grease and 20 minutes would have done wonders to the bathroom.

Other things we noticed was that the room we stayed in (201) smelled faintly of stale smoke, or something else funky. It appears to have been recently renovated although evidence of incompleteness was obvious. For example, there were lines drawn on the walls, drill/nail holes and a half-fast paint job was made obvious by slightly different colours and sheens of paint used.

Finally, another issue we had was with the quality of the door leading to our unit. It was far from sound proof and even worse, it did not close well - when we arrived to our room, the door was actually wide open!

This place had some nice features that are also worth pointing out. The towels were luxurious - not rough and grey like you often find in older places. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the on-site games (giant connect 4), beach access and central location were all appreciated. The staff were quite friendly and we had no issues with check-in/check-out.

Due to cleanliness, we are unlikely to stay here again but it is a very affordable option if you're willing to do a bit of cleaning yourself or you don't care that much about a clean place.

The view and location are unmatched, and at a very affordable price. The bed is very comfortable and overall the room has everything you need. Unfortunately, the renovations were very cheaply done and not finished properly. The towel rack was hanging by a hinge, the drawer in the kitchenette did not close (didn't fit the space), and the blinds only roll up or down. In order to see the view, you have to roll the blinds up, giving you no privacy in the room. Sheer curtains with blinds that close vertically would make much more sense. We hope that the rooms can be finished so that it is more enjoyable.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Edge Beachside. Great location, gorgeous ocean view, nice patio and easy acess to the beach. Washroom is all updated...tub sits high off the floor, so getting in and out may be a challenge, require more handles. Wonderful pillows for sleeping and comfortable bed. Perhaps an end table on both sides of the king bed would be bennifical for water glasses. Little details but all and all great establishment.

a very lovely little hotel with beautiful views of the water. We stayed in the cottage which was very cozy, and a little on the side of rustic but we were happy during our stay. The staff are friendly. The hotel has a cute boardwalk nearby which is perfect for sunsets and exploring the beach. The hotel is also located near many services such as food and groceries. Parksville itself is perfect for exploring all the nearby areas within a short drive of 30 mins or less. We look forward to staying at this hotel again!

Sea Edge is one of those places that quietly surprises you!!! It's so, so peaceful here.

The layout feels open and natural. Everything feels easy and unpretentious. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a space that blends in with its surroundings rather than trying too hard.

Jufer was wonderful to talk to and made everything feel simple and smooth. Everyone we met was genuinely kind and welcoming in a way that stayed with us after we left.

It also feels like the perfect place to bring friends or family for a few days. It has that balance of privacy and connection that’s hard to find.

Sharing a few photos because it really is one of those places that feels even better in person.

Photos tell the story. The location is optimal. Immediate beach front. Restaurants within walking distance. We were craving the sound of the sea! Its a Legacy Property with a thorough quality refresh. We had a very comfortable 3 night stay in a 1 king bed room. Bedding and toiletries were very good. There are large outdoor kitchen and BBQ areas and gas firepit seating areas. The only shortfall would be the lack of a floor lamp near the couch for reading, a second nightstand and lamp would be helpful for the same reason. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Prices were reasonable enough for these modern times 😉
If you have young children, the included nearby Paradise Fun Park would be a real bonus.
