About this property

Just Like Home - Everything you need to feel at home and your pets are welcome!

This charming three-bedroom character home in Victoria offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. Located near scenic trails, a lake, and the ocean, and conveniently on a bus route, it’s within walking distance to shops and the hospital. Nestled in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, this home is ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to all the essentials.

Having traveled for work myself, I know how important it is to feel at home when you’re away. That’s why this property is thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind. Whether you’re in Victoria for work, retirement, or personal reasons, this home is arranged to provide a warm and welcoming environment that helps you settle in right away.

For those traveling with pets, the home is pet-friendly, offering a fully fenced yard where your pets can roam and play safely. The secure yard not only provides freedom for pets but also privacy for you to enjoy the outdoor space. I do kindly request that pet owners be responsible for picking up after their pets to ensure the yard remains clean and pleasant for everyone. To make this easy, I’ve provided waste disposal bags and a designated bin.

Inside, you’ll find all the comforts of home. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals with ease, and the cozy living spaces are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring or working. Each of the three bedrooms is designed with comfort in mind, providing plenty of space for rest and relaxation. Whether you’re staying for a few days or an extended period, you’ll find the home has everything you need to feel comfortable.

This home is fully compliant with BC’s new short-term rental regulations, giving you peace of mind about your stay. As the homeowner, I live on-site, which allows me to be available should any issues arise during your stay. While ensuring privacy for my guests, my presence also guarantees the property is well-maintained and that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

One of the standout features of this home is its location. Whether you’re interested in taking walks along the nearby trails, enjoying time at the lake or ocean, or exploring local shops and cafes, everything is just a short distance away. For those visiting Victoria for work, the house is particularly convenient, being close to the hospital and other essential services. After a long day, the quiet and peaceful environment makes it the perfect place to relax.

In summary, this three-bedroom character home offers a combination of comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. The pet-friendly, fully fenced yard is perfect for those traveling with furry companions, and the home itself is designed to make you feel at ease. With its ideal location and thoughtful design, this home is an excellent choice for a comfortable stay in Victoria, whether you’re here for work, retirement, or other reasons.

We enjoyed our month in this house very much. We arrived to find fresh flowers and delectable baking, and felt very welcome. The house is attractive and comfortable, and we appreciated a media package that provided all the news channels. Our host responded immediately to any concerns. View Royal is fantastic for walking, close to the E and N bike trail, the Gorge, and Portage Park. We had a great time here.

Good for family

Diane was a very friendly host, house is big enough for whole family. Dishes and coffee maker weren’t cleanest. Big comfortable couch in living room, with strong wifi and streaming services. Lots of character to this house felt like Vancouver’s west side, and modern upgrades like tile, laundry, ect

I wish we found this three years ago!

Our daughter Is going to school at UVic and lives minutes from this home. I wish we had found this when she first started going to school here! It’s perfect for our family when we are visiting her! The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials. The bathroom has a wide variety of emergency supplies. It’s close to shops and bakeries and not far from downtown. Ourtwo big dogs loved the yard for burning off energy My only regret Is not finding this home sooner.
