Starting out as a prime, almost secret relaxation spot, Parksville has become a bustling tourist attraction with lovely beaches, amazing spas, and quirky goats. Rathtrevor Beach is often the main draw. Its sparkling, shallow waters, which retreat in the low tide, give you a chance to stroll on sand warmed by sunlight and perhaps pick out some shells from the tide pools. Tigh-Na-Mara Grotto Spa is noted to be one of the best spas in Canada according to Spas in America - if you stop by there, you’ll be awestruck by the luminescent blue glow and the relaxing massages that can take you straight to heaven. What’s a trip to the beach, however, without your favorite furry friend? If you’re worried about finding accommodations that won’t let in your treasured dog or feline sidekick, don’t worry! Here are the best pet-friendly accommodations in Parksville, Canada!

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and pet-friendly rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.
