Fabulous in every way. The peaceful setting, beauty of the property ( flowers, gardens, outdoor sitting areas overlooking the strait) Watching the sea lions, sea otters, various birds waterfowl, ships in the distance coming in and out of the strait. Beautiful mornings and evenings. Oasis. Super convenient to Victoria and wonderful sites in the area. Hosts warm friendly and had kitchen stocked with eggs, bread, milk, juice, fruit to start us off on arrival. We can’t wait to go back and hated to leave.

It was a memorable weekend at Metchosin. It’s quiet and vibrant. Jennifer and Bob’s place is something you will treasure, you have the million dollar view while watching the seals, birds, kayakers and ships passing by.

Great respite location from busy Victoria

Enjoyed our calm and relaxing stay at Bob and Jennifer's beautiful property. Very generous hosts who generously provided a few breakfast items to get us started. The back yard was a wonderful sanctuary with a beautiful view, and it was fenced for our dog, too. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Slice of Paradise

Bob and Jennifer were gracious hosts with tons of suggestions on things to do in and around Victoria. The property itself was beautifully manicured with ample outdoor seating to just sit around and watch the ships, seals, bald eagles and even whales. The suite is lovely and well equipped.

Quiet Getaway close to Victoria

Bob and Jennifer are sweet. We wanted quiet privacy to celebrate our anniversary just the two of us and we found that here with a private apartment attached to Bob and Jennifer's home. Beautiful view, quiet neighborhood, and simple breakfast items for us.

Perfect getaway!

The location was perfect for us. We wanted to have a car so we didn’t want to be downtown. To have the water right there was just spectacular. What a special spot! Thanks for sharing your home with us Bob and Jennifer (and Fergus)!

Total Relaxation

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The pictures don't do justice, the view over the private cove was incredible and we could spend the day watching all the different birds and animals that make this there home. The accommodation were very comfortable and had everything needed for our stay.

Incredible VRBO with amazing ocean view

This is our 2nd time staying at this VRBO and would stay again if we are in the area. Very clean and spacious suite in immaculate condition with everything one would need. We found the ocean view from this property to be amazing and very peaceful. Owners are great to deal with and are very friendly. I would highly recommend this VRBO.
