Home Away From Home

We came in to Victoria for a long weekend with our family for the Victoria Marathon and had the most lovely stay. Close to the city with great parks, stores and restaurants close by. We had the best time exploring the area and our hosts were incredibly gracious and kind. The home was immaculately kept and had everything we needed and more. We will be back again!

Everything was great, we would recommend turning on the heat in advance of guest arrival as the first night it was freezing cold. Once heat was turned on the next morning and the house warmed up it was much better.

Nice quite location. Beautiful flowers. Backyard was great with the hot tub and the sounds from the creek below. Nice, clean home. Bed on the firm side, but comfortable. Only down side would be the short doorways and shower. If over 6' tall, you might bump your head. We would rent the home again.

This property was the nicest and best thought-out VRBO rental that I have ever stayed in. The communication with the owners was exceptional and they went out of their way to help us out. The home was immaculate and well designed with very comfortable accommodations and homey touches. The kitchen was well stocked, as was the linen closet and bathroom accessories. The outdoor spaces were lovely and it truly felt like you were in your own little world when you were outside. It was close to stores to pick up necessities and the owners even have loyalty cards to help with some savings. I couldn't recommend this rental enough and would absolutely stay here again- and would even consider it for a long term rental. Thank you for a lovely stay in beautiful Victoria!

Great accommodation and helpful hosts

Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. They really made our stay a wonderful experience. The accommodation was excellent. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need. It was very clean and with extra linens and blankets, if needed. Soap, shampoo, etc. also provided. Very much appreciated the security code access, rather than having to, hopefully, not lose the key. It was a good, quiet location, about 20 minutes from downtown Victoria, and 20 minutes or less to good walking/hiking locations. Close to shopping centres, with several options for restaurants and fast food outlets.
