About this property

The Arbutus Loft- 2 bed suite in new home walk to beach & Golf

Welcome to The Arbutus Loft! Ardmore is an exclusive neighbourhood with very large lots surrounded by trees and ocean. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac this loft within a new executive home was completed in 2023. Start your morning gazing out the wall of windows that has you floating in the trees. What next? Access one of the many public forested trails; perhaps a 150m trail walk South to Coles Bay or a 600m walk North to Ardmore golf course, you will feel like you are living in a resort.

Ardmore is connected by trails throughout the neighbourhood allowing for walking, running, and cycling in the forest. Being on the west side of the peninsula we are sheltered which provides warmer air and ocean temperatures. Swimming and paddle boarding in Coles Bay is popular throughout the summer.

We designed this house with privacy in mind; no walls in the suite are shared with the living space of the main house. The 900 square foot loft is above the garage but has been fully soundproofed plus double drywall and triple pane windows, no need to tip toe around as we cannot hear each other! The living room/kitchen is open concept with a wall of windows and a skylight as well as a privacy window in the bathroom; it is an extremely bright and quiet suite that feels even roomier with 9 foot ceilings.

The Kitchen is spacious and complete with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and soft close drawers. It is fully outfitted including a Nespresso machine, kettle, waffle maker, pancake griddle, rice cooker and stocked with essentials such as Nespresso pods, tea, spices, oil, sugar and a few treats! Full size laundry is also available beside the kitchen.

Two bedrooms each with new high-end King size beds and black out blinds ensure a quiet and comfortable sleep. Plenty of room to hang and fold your things as each bedroom comes with closet organizers.

The living room has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a book or access your favorite streaming accounts on the 58” Samsung smart TV (cable is provided). Wi-Fi is lightning fast for use throughout the Loft including a small computer desk with pull out tray should you need to do a bit of work.

You will be comfortable year-round with heat and A/C provided by a mini split system as well as ceiling fans located in each bedroom. Fresh filtered air is continually circulated through the loft via an HRV system. No need for bottled water as all water to the house is processed through a state of the art filtration system.

Wonderful stay

This property is beautiful and clean. In a nice quiet neighborhood. The hosts left a nice note for us upon arrival and check in was simple and easy The king beds were comfortable, and the extra little things provided (small snacks, etc) were a nice touch. I would definately recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. We would definately stay here again if we come back through the area. W

Great Spot

We were impressed by the modern and elegant layout and furnishings. Everything worked as it should. The complimentary coffee and tea as well as juices in the fridge was much appreciated. The only improvement we could suggest is the provision of a folding luggage bench in each bedroom.

Perfect in Ever Way!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ardmore Loft Suite. The house is beautiful and in a very quiet and attractive neighbourhood. The suite was perfect - bright, sparkling clean, very comfortable and they had literally thought of everything you might need, which is very rare I find. We loved being so close to Coles Bay. It's just a lovely 3-minute walk down and a very peaceful beach to relax on with stunning views across the bay. I couldn't fault this place in any way! We will definitely look to stay here again when we are next in Victoria.

This property was stunning. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable beds, as well as all the amenities you would need for a stay (even spices, tea, coffee, sparking water which we were so happy to see after a long drive, and snacks that our boys were super excited to devour). The only downside is there is no outdoor space at the residence to enjoy. Our boys (ages 8 & 10) needed to burn some energy so we did the short walk to the beach. However, at high tide the beach is not accessible. We did enjoy the walk very much. The area is absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic all round!

From the moment we stepped into this unit we felt not only at home but well looked after. Many little details enhanced out stay. The unit is modern, spacious, clean and so very comfortable. The beds are super comfortable too. We all look forward to a repeat visit to this home away from home in Ardmore.
