Lovely home in a nice quiet area. Would not recommend for families with small children due to the drop off in the small back yard. Very convenient to Butchart Gardens.

Springtime at Butchart Gardens

The property was as pictured, and in such a good location. The holdbacks on some areas of our experiece was that the bed in the middle bedroom was terribly uncomfortable, the towels were clean-the-car quality, and there were NO signs of life in the kitchen such as condiment packets or a kind note. We often stay in vacation rental homes, and these touches are inexpensive and matter. That said, we will certainly stay here again on future trips to the Island.

Refreshing retreat indeed

The house is nested in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a retreat to the nature with family. It’s spacious for 5 people to stay, clean, simple, and nicely decorated, not tacky at all. The owner responded to our questions promptly. We enjoyed our stay at this house for 4 nights.

Weekend Birthday Getaway

Spent 3 nights here- easily accommodated the 7 of us. Had breakfast in the house each day, didn’t need to search for anything we needed- all readily available. Short ride into Victoria. We had a great time & slept well on the comfy beds.

Really nice house

It was a great house and location to Butchart Gardens. There were a lot of instructions around the house, but as someone with a more complex house, i can see that the host tries to anticipate most problems that might arise.

Perfect family stay

The house was exactly as shown and the owner had thoughtfully stocked it with everything you might need. Our family of 2 grandparents, 3 adult children and 2 little ones had all the space we needed while attending a wedding at a nearby winery and visiting the sights of Victoria. We would highly recommend it.

Great getaway

My husband, my Dad and another couple (close friends) stayed here for a week vacation. It was a fantastic house that we could all visit comfortably but have our own space as well. The kitchen had everything we needed and we made most of our suppers here easily. The pool table and piano were a nice touch. Seymour was easy to communicate with for any issues or questions that came up. The neighborhood was very quiet and beautiful. It acted as a good base camp for our activities around Victoria and up Island. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic Stay in Brentwood

What a very comfortable, family friendly house located just minutes from Butchart Gardens and great food. The kitchen was our central gathering spot, as was the dining room table that doubled as a puzzle and gaming table. Our teens loved the pool table and piano. (Our son loved the Apple TV) On our way home we talked about the need to go back to the same house but this time in the summer and bring our bikes and rent some kayaks in the bay. We also would have made better use of the deck furniture if it hadn't been a bit too cool. Best Thanksgiving week ever.

Birthday Trip to Butchart Gardens

This was a three-generation road trip with ultimate destination being a visit to Butchart Gardens. We were able to leave our car at this very comfortable home and walk there, which was a huge plus. The location is excellent, and the neighborhood was very quiet. We spent two nights there, and beds were comfortable for all of us. Note that all three bedrooms are on the second floor, if that is an issue. There is a half bath on the first floor, which was convenient. I do think the master shower would benefit from a good scrubbing of the stone, and kitchen appliances need some maintenance, but that was disclosed in the listing, and did not interfere with our ability to fix our meals. We did not use TV’s or radio or fireplaces, so cannot comment on those. We did avail ourselves to the pool table. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely home, good location

My family of four enjoyed our two night stay at "Castle in the Sky." It is apparent that the owner has spent time caring for the home; the woodwork is beautiful. We were a bit put off by all the instructive labels but having read the reviews, we were expecting it. Our two teenage boys loved the pool table. The home would benefit from some soft touches such as curtains and rugs in some rooms to absorb sound and filter light. The master bedroom was very bright in the morning, making it difficult to sleep in, although sleeping masks were provided. The kitchen was well equipped. The home is a short drive to a grocery store, 3 minutes from Butchart Gardens, about 1/2 hour from Victoria, and about 20 minutes from Sidney. Overall, I recommend this property.

Family vacation

Our stay here was good, the house is very spacious and was a great area and a great space for our family of 6 to spend time together. It was very easy to navigate to and from Victoria and attractions. Communication with the host was easy and timely. Based on the online description it says 4 bedrooms, however the fourth bedroom is actually the living area with a sofa bed.
