Comedy writer Gene Perret had it right when he said, "What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure."

Just image what pleasure you will get from having a magical place to share quality time with your children's, children in the coming years. Oceanside Village Resort offers a full range of cottages perfect to create such a place. Choose from two bedrooms, 864 square foot cottages to 1109 square foot cottage with two bedrooms and a loft.

This kind of space will allow you to have your whole family for extended visits in the summer, celebrate birthdays, holidays and other family milestones, all for the price of a quarter-share property elsewhere.

The price includes full ownership, the quality built cottage with six appliances and the 2/5/10 Home Warranty Plan. Financing is available through the Bank of Nova Scotia. Plus we have made decorating your new cottage a breeze; several furniture purchase packages are available. Not to mention the developer was a finalist in the "2010 BC Hydro Power Smart Excellence Awards."

But the cottage is just half the story-unforgettable times are waiting for you and the kids just outside the door to the cottage. Everyone will enjoy the natural beauty of our West Coast setting, starting right next door with Rathtrevor Beach Park. Take a picnic and make sand castles on the wide sandy beach at low tide, or swim in the warm ocean water at high tide. Explore the trails that follow the beach and wind through the forest.

Adjacent to Rathtrevor is the very popular Riptide Lagoon Adventure Park, which offers two courses that will challenge your budding golf stars and Laser Tag Bumper Cars. Plus the Oceanside Village Resort indoor swimming pool is large enough for the kids to have fun while more serious swimmers are doing laps. Children of all ages will love to visit for years to come.

It's not too late to own a cottage for this fall, but you have to act fast. Cottages are selling quickly. There are only six cottages remaining for immediate occupancy. Call 250-248-6766 today for a personal tour, or visit the show cottage and Heather will show you around.
