I would recommend staying at the Sand Castle Inn to anyone who wants to experience the true Parksville. This place is close to the beach and is walking distance to the centre of town. The staff is very friendly and is willing to go the extra mile to make your stay a good one. I will definatly stay at the Sand Castle Inn again next summer.Read more
