Family of 6 visiting for a wedding. Perfect home from home for us to entertain (fully equiped kitchen and BBQ facilities), stunning views over the bay, plenty of parking and available use of sea Kayak's. Pleasant 20 minute walk into the centre of Sidney and convenient shop near-by. Amazing views of Mount Baker in the distance across the bay and excellent wildlife (eg. Otters, Bald Eagles etc!) Would love to stay here again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1990
About the owner: We are a retired couple who still live in Sidney but have downsized. Eagles Nest is our family home that we have updated and equipped for visitors and visiting family to allow us to continue to share our wonderful piece of paradise.
Why the Owner Chose Sidney:
We love this location for the water, the wildlife (it is on the migratory seabird pathway) the walks along the shore and into town, the nearby marinas and restaurants for a morning breakfast walk... it is one of the most sheltered low bank waterfronts in the area and perfect for kayaking, clamming and just soaking up birds and otters of Roberts Bay.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
On Robert's Bay – Sidney B.C. Welcome to Eagle's Nest vacation rental. Welcome to pink sunrises silhouetting a distant snow capped Mount Baker and glinting off duck trails across the mirrored waters of Roberts Bay bird sanctuary. Watching colorful kayakers launching nearby to explore Gulf Islands National park. Amble along tree lined All Bay road to coffee shops, fine dining and pubs intermingled with the marinas and yacht charters. Walk a mile or so the other way to Sidney-Town with all its busy charm and pedestrian friendly activities. The Eagles Nest suite is the entire upper level (1500 sq ft) of this waterfront house. Living room with gas fireplace, sun room, three outdoor patios, two bedrooms (queen) and (double + twin), two bathrooms and a TV/media room. Two sofa beds are also available.
