World Class Jack Nicklaus designed Golf Course is all yours... Can you imagine?
Location: Victoria, Vancouver Island, The Islands, British Columbia, Canada (The Heart of the Village of Bear Mt. Minutes to Victoria) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Your suite is located in the Heart of the Village of Bear Mountain Golf and Country Club Mountain Resort; This 1000 sq ft 2 Bedroom Luxurious, Top Floor Condo overlooks the 3rd Fairway, and the Village of Bear Mountain.
The 36-hole Golf Course is co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and his son Steve. There are two courses... The "Mountain Course" and the "Valley Course". They both are set in the foothills of Mount Finlayson and strike the perfect balance between playability and a year round golf experience for golfers of all skill levels. With panoramic mountain, city and ocean views and located only 10-12 minutes from downtown Victoria... You'll fall in love with this world-renowned Golf Course and Village Resort.
Bear Mountain has recently opened the "Valley Course"... A second Nicklaus-designed 18-hole championship golf course which offers the same world class facilities as the 18-hole Mountain Course. The new Valley course is a par 71, reaching 7,000 yards from the championship tees, and makes Bear Mountain the first 36-hole Nicklaus designed golf resort in Canada!
And for those guests who would rather explore than putt... There are many opportunities just minutes away from your own front door to rest, relax, shop, walk, or even go to the Westin Resort's Spa where the "Full Body Massage" is to-die-for; or you can venture off to Jack's (Nicklaus) Pub & Restaurant for some of the best wings in town. And just down the hill is box store city, from Winners and Home Depot, to Costco, Wal-Mart, and the Brick. Plus lots of smaller stores, restaurants, and facilities.
And all of this is just steps away from your front door...
Your home-away-from-home includes 10 ft ceilings; Granite, Tile, and Rich Chestnut colored Laminant throughout; Stainless Steel Appliances; In-Suite Washer & Dryer; and His & Her Closets;
This is a brand-new suite that is professionally designed and decorated and includes 2 private bedrooms with Queen-Sized Sealy Mattresses and additional memory foam added to increase the height and comfort of your beds. The 600-1000 thread-count sheets and down-comforter will also ensure that you have a restful nights sleep.
While enjoying your breakfast from your private balcony, you can watch the golfers on the 3rd fairway pass by your top floor suite. Or you can look further down to see all the activity at the Golf Course Club House or local Town Market. The fully-equipped oversized kitchen features a separate granite island with an eating bar for 2, plus a separate dining room which easily sits 6 guests for dinner.
Then there is the comfortable and spacious living room with a leather (double size pull-out) couch that sleeps 2 more guests; a gas fireplace; a 36" flat screen wall mount TV; quality stereo with CD, tuner, and iPod/MP3 connections.
Both bathrooms are Tile and Granite throughout, with the main Bath featuring a double walk-in shower cabin, and the ensuite having a contoured tub and shower unit.
This luxurious condominium offers the traveler a truly unique experience when visiting Vancouver Island... You can venture up island for the day and go caving at Horne Lake, or whale-watching 1/2 hour away in Sooke, or spend your vacation on the Mountain in the "Whistler-like" Village, or drive downtown and go antique shopping or beach combing in Victoria.
Whatever you choose, you know that your stay with us will be an enjoyable one... Please view our calendar below and book early to ensure your quality stay in Bear Mountain.
PS: We also offer a Full 1 bedroom suite (sleeps 4) and a 1 Bdrm/Bachelor Suite (sleeps 2) that will be furnished in the same theme as seen below. Please go to #183032 and #183050 for more photos and info... Both of these condos are offered at "Lower than Hotel Prices". As low as $99/night.

Map & Owner's Profile
2 BR Bear Mountain Golf Course - Brand New Luxury 2 BR Suite
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Victoria
Carrie was brought up on Vancouver Island and encouraged Frank to look at creating a home away from home... With both of them being avid golfers, and Bear Mountain being ranked as one of the best (36 hole) courses in Canada, it was an easy decision on where to purchase. Not to mention the Resort is ideally located with quick and easy access to downtown Victoria, the Highlands, Sooke, and the upper Island destinations.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The Resort is similar to Whistler in that you feel like you are in an Alpine resort with all the Luxurious amenities, yet you are also a 12 minute drive into Victoria BC with all of it's tourist attractions and famous landmarks. The Highlands (where Bear Mountain is located) has been fully developed with all of the large Box Stores like, Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, etc... It's just an ideal place to relax, breathe the mountain and ocean air, and even shop or go on tours by day, and enjoy the restaurants and nightlife by night... Or if you'd rather you can stay in at night, and light up the BBQ (and fireplace) and enjoy the view of the heart of the village, with a nice meal, while lounging out on your large balcony. It's all good!
Bear Mountain Golf Club House, and Athletic Club, Heated Outdoor Pool, Gym, Resort Spa and Mineral Pool.
Restaurants, Liquor Store, and Box Stores
National Park with a 2 hour hike up the mountain which will give you views all the way to Port Angeles, USA! The park is also known as one of the best places to view the annual Salmon run.
Growing up, we used to go to Thetis Lake everyday after school. It is an amazing lake with all of the amenities of parking, concession, and lifeguards on duty during the summer months.
Grocery Store, Electronics, Cobs Bakery, everything you'd need!
From here it is about a 4 - 5 minute drive up the hill to the Condo. And conversely, it is about a 7 - 8 minute drive to Victoria straight down the freeway - going to the right of the map...
About a 40 minute drive from the condo to the Airport
Owner's Map of Victoria
Frank and Carrie live in Edmonton, AB, Canada, and invested during the initial construction stage of Bear Mountain back in February 2006.
Their properties were completed construction in 2008, and the partners have been sharing their homes through VRBO ever since.
