There's something about the tranquil ambiance of the coast that stirs the imagination and awakens the creative spirit. For writers seeking a haven for their craft, a weekend getaway to the shores of Parksville, BC, at Beach Acres Resort offers the serenity and inspiration needed to delve deep into writing. Amidst the whispers of the forest and the rhythmic symphony of waves, Beach Acres becomes more than a retreat—it's a sanctuary for storytellers.


Finding Solace by the Sea

A Writer’s Utopia

Gently nestled between the majesty of mature cedar and the serene caress of sea breeze lies Beach Acres Resort—the idyllic setting for a writer's retreat. Here, every cottage and townhouse serves as a quiet nook where authors can pour out their narratives without interruption. Whether drafting the next great novel, penning heartfelt poetry, or composing a stirring screenplay, the isolation and peace found here are unparalleled.


Embracing the Creative Flow

What's unique about Beach Acres is how easily one can transition from the focused solitude of their private accommodations to the vast, natural canvases that await just steps away. Writers can draw endless inspiration from mile-long walks on the soft, sandy stretches of Rathtrevor Beach, find new characters in the dance of the arbutus trees, or conjure up plots with every sunset that paints the sky.


Amenities to Fuel Inspiration

Comfort Meets Convenience

Each writer’s abode comes fully furnished with modern necessities, including a well-equipped kitchen, cozy wood or gas burning fireplace, and a private patio offering distinct vistas to stimulate the artist's eye. Free Wi-Fi connectivity means research and cloud-based writing tools are at your fingertips, while the absence of everyday distractions ensures productivity remains paramount.


Nature's Muse

Beyond the walls of your retreat space, Beach Acres Resort invites writers to refresh their minds with an array of outdoor activities. A serene dip in the heated indoor pool or a leisurely bike ride through the lush landscape can reinvigorate the mind, helping to overcome writer's block and infuse fresh vigor into your work.
