About this property

Scenery and Serenity - Delight in your holiday retreat

Are you interested in a peaceful place with fabulous views to retreat to after the bustle of the city? Great location near Esquimalt Lagoon and Royal Bay seaside parks, Pearson College of the Pacific, Royal Roads University, Galloping Goose hiking and biking trail, as well as many shopping opportunities from box stores to quaint neighbourhood bistros. Downtown Victoria is accessible by bus or car in an easy 30 minute drive and the bus stop is a short walk away. Many sports opportunities are available from fishing (lake or ocean), golfing (Royal Colwood and Olympic View Golf Clubs are 5 minutes away, Highland Pacific and Bear Mountain Golf Resort are 15 minutes away), as well as hiking and biking. The community is home to many Canadian sports development centres - tennis, golf, rugby, biking, rowing to name a few.

All the comforts of home are available with a well equipped kitchen with BBQ available, as well as washer and dryer and dishwasher, cable TV and a dedicated study area for any school or work related commitments. Bright sunny rooms with 9 foot ceilings and expansive windows give a marvelous view over the water to Victoria. Please no smoking and no pets in the suite or on the premises.

The perfect place

This was larger than expected, very clean, with a lot of amenities. communication was great and very friendly. The view was beautiful, we enjoyed watching the hummingbirds in the flowers. We would love to stay here again when we’re visiting the area. And personal touches made us feel very special.

I was doing major repairs to my foundation and needed a place for my tenants to stay while the work was being done. While I wasnt the guest, I know the hosts took great care and were very patient! It is a lovely place with caring hosts - thank you!

Island Serenity

The attention to detail shows in this comfortable property. Communication is top notch, and the comfort level surpassed any rental property experience...it was like being home. The location is perfect for exploring and accessing urban areas. And the view! AMAZING! Thank you, Ron and Ruth, for everything.

Beautiful

We had the whole lower level of a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. It had high ceilings and lots of windows with a nice view. Everything about the place was well done, well equipped and very clean. Ruth was a great hostess who had tried to think of everything including a welcome basket filled with treats. Thank you, Ruth.

Peace, comfort and beauty

We enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing week at this lovely suite. Spacious and beautifully appointed, the suite was a comfortable space to return to at the end of each day of exploring. Ruth and Ron were friendly and helpful (and most gracious when we inadvertently set off the smoke detector when using the broiler!) The expansive views were a delight. We need to return when weather is a little clearer to see Mount Baker from this viewpoint. We highly recommend Ruth and Ron's suite for travellers seeking peace, comfort and beauty.

Best place to stay near Victoria

We booked this a couple of months ago. The location was central and just the right amount of space for the 3 of us. Communication was excellent. Check in couldn't have been easier. We were immediately blown away when we walked in. The suite is very beautiful. All amenities and then some are here. Condiments in the fridge were all considered and more then just basics in the cupboards. We enjoyed our morning coffee outside at the little table. We were greeted by a pair of partridges, hummingbirds and a neighboring dog. The ocean views were spectacular. Ruth and Ron are very generous hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We will definitely try to stay here again when we come back to Victoria.
