French Creek Cottages is centrally
located on Vancouver
Island, in between the seaside communities of
Parksville
and Qualicum
Beach. The waterfront cottage resort is nestled
on a ridge slightly above the ocean, resting among
trees, set back from the sandy beaches and ocean
tides. From the shore the marine views stretch for
miles. There are boats coming and going and sometimes
seals can be heard barking far off in the distance.
The rustic well kept cottages vary in floor plans
and views. Some are stand alone, others are duplex
type cottages. Each accommodation is fully self
contained and comfortably cozy. The cottage units
come with complete kitchens, cooking utensils, a
dining table and chairs, comfortable beds and living
areas with a TV, but no phones (which
is good in many cases). The 1 or 2 bedroom
accommodations come with a queen bed or 2 single
beds. Some units have a pull-out couch (sofa) that
can be used as a bed also.
The coastline beach of French Creek provides plenty
of activity to entertain. On low tides the oceans
recede and make room for morning strolls exploring
the cove and rocky shoreline. On occasion sightings
of Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, Hawks, Deer and Seals
have been spotted.
The common area for all cottages is ideal for small
and large gatherings because of the large grassy
area, picnic tables, children's playground, BBQs,
bunny rabbits (yes, we said bunny rabbits) and an
indoor swimming pool (no lifeguards on duty so always
have parent present).
From the accommodation resort one can walk to the
local marina where there is a pub restaurant and
some marine shops. French creek is a 5 minute drive
north of Parksville and 5 minutes south of Qualicum
Beach on Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada.
Thanx to our Hosts, Don and Kathy... good people
