What’s happening at our Parksville Resort Vacation Rental

Huge bubbles coming from in the ground, do not have any idea what causes this to happen. Is especially dramatic at high tides. This is located just in front of our house and can only be seen via Kayak.

Beautiful blossoms on the Rhodos at Rhododendron Lake. Well worth the bumpy road to get there.

Stunning view at Rhododendron Lake

An Adventurous Weekend. We did the course of Monkido at Wild Play Element Park, very exciting but a bit scary at the same time.

Wild Play Element Park

Harold has just completed our 430ft. AVATAR TRAIL alongside our WETLANDS where plants, water and animals are living together in harmony.The trail is like walking in an overgrown jungle where you feel that the plants and trees dwarf you.

June 10, 2010 Cattails are just starting to flower. The green flower spikes can be eaten like corn on the cob. The Red Winged Blackbirds love to make their nests in the plants themselves and the Hummingbirds use the fuzzy spent flower to build their nests.

A new discovery for us is the Heritage Park in Qualicum. It`s only a 20 minute drive and all of a sudden you`re walking in an Old Growth Forest amongst large Douglas Fir and Cedar trees.

We’ve been feasting on ‘Glass Wort’, which is better known as ‘Sea Asparagus’. Very good in cooking alone or with other foods, and makes awesome pickles! We can pick lots of it right outside our pond and in the channels heading to the ocean.

We are currently building an addition to our home! Yes, this will include yet another Deluxe Suite. This suite has a ‘birds eye view’ of spawning salmon in the pond below. Will notify when completed, hopefully in the fall of 2012.
