On a sunny weekend in May we escaped the city to spend a fabulous weekend away in Parksville on Vancouver Island. Staying at the gorgeous Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort property.
Easy to find on the “resort” strip in the seaside community of Parksville, BC. The Sunrise Ridge Resort is a 30 minute drive from Departure Bay in Nanaimo. A leisurely trip by BC Ferries from Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver.
You arrive to the naturally landscaped beauty of the Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort Lodge. An imposing building with sky high ceilings anchored with a huge floor to ceiling stone fireplace nestled within a comfortable seating area that welcomes owners and guests West Coast style.
Off the grand entrance there is a fully appointed guest facility that holds up to 100 guests. Bright and sunny with a well equipped kitchen. The ideal spot for gatherings, weddings, community meetings, and family reunions.
On the opposite side of the grand entrance is the owners lounge where you can spend a quiet afternoon reading or join your fellow owners to watch a sports event on the big screen TV. A morning gathering place with complimentary tea and coffee.
Outside enter onto the spacious patio sheltered from the elements by a vaulted ceiling. The outdoor fireplace is another popular spot for residents to gather after a full day of activities.
A few steps further to the inviting outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. The crystal clear blue water is inviting to all and a favourite of families. Also available a compact, well equipped fitness room steps away.
Currently there are a number of residence buildings available for your vacation stay. Our stay was in a beautiful two bedroom, two bath suite with panoramic views of the water.
On arrival we took the opportunity to explore the future residential vacation home building sites. Nestled in an indigenous forest of tall trees the property promises unparalleled vistas in a natural setting. A vacation community in the making just waiting for families who are looking for holiday alternatives. Your opportunity to own an affordable oceanfront vacation home with access to luxurious resort amenities.
The new residences will have a spacious open-concept of the main area, high ceilings, tall doors, quiet tones of nature and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen/dining and living room areas will flow beautifully together onto a covered patio, therefore bringing the outdoors right inside.
Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort offers modern townhouses and condos for sale on Vancouver Island that are professionally designed to maximize every bit of space in the 1100 square foot floor plan. Bedrooms are privately located on the second floor to offer a peaceful resting haven for a place to kick back, relax and unwind.
The Parksville resort community boasts unparalleled views of the Strait of Georgia and access to endless sandy beaches.
From the moment you enter the front door, you will feel like you have come home.

During the weekend we enjoyed visits to local restaurants. So many to choose from. Kalvas the Log House with their popular Friday night “Prime Rib” dinners, an old school rustic eatery styled like a log cabin; Bread and Honey a must visit for breakfast and also great for lunch; hip and trendy Realfood Co dedicated to wild, organic, local and sustainable food. Working with local farms and producers to ensure their menu has the smallest ecological footprint possible.
Close by are a number of family activities: Riptide Lagoon Adventure Golf offers two mini golf courses the kids will love, bumper cars, an arcade and of course ice cream!

Grab a Goats t-shirt for everyone. Outdoors there are a number of specialty shops, an outdoor fruit and vegetable market, and a garden shop. For foodies you can choose from fresh Italian fare at Cuckoo or try the Taco food truck for something more casual. End your visit with an ice cream treat from Billy Goat’s Gruff Ice Cream Parlour. So many delicious flavours to choose from.
