A review from a recent guest:"Your home here is one of the best designed homes that I've ever been in. It's like one of my museum exhibits, simple materials, totally efficient, with no added frills. It focuses our attention on the view and your wonderful artwork, while snatching light from every angle. Architects and Industrial Designers (my career) love grey, silver, black and white, neutral tones, framing and highlighting the color of artwork and select furniture. Your choice of grey, with a hint of blue, reminds me of a cool morning fog over a quiet ocean."

Panoramic Ocean Views from This Stunning Cordova Bay Home
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Victoria
The Pacific Northwest and Vancouver Island in particular is a paradise for active people. The mild climate and extraordinary scenery offers opportunities for year-round golf, cycling, hiking and kayaking. The gardens of Victoria are legendary; anyone can boast a green thumb here!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The view of the Haro straight and Mount Baker from the house is inspiring, and the home's light-filled ambiance is a welcome place for relaxing or reading. Aside from the varied cultural and outdoor attractions of Victoria, we enjoy the excellent cycling, hiking and golfing opportunities of the area. Also, we take advantage of the freshly grown produce, mostly organic, provided by small, family run farms which offer everything from berries to eggs to wine and flowers, just minutes from our doorstep.
Ferry terminal from Swartz Bay (mainland). Charming town, direct access by bike path.

I thought you might like to know that my sister, my three daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed your home in Victoria this past weekend. The house is lovely, the location perfect and the weather was unbelievably good. We toured Butchart Gardens, had tea at the Empress, visited the Royal Museum and even went to the IL Divo concert. They were great! We packed a whole lot into three days. Time spent sitting on your balcony was a highlight. All in all, a very nice way to spend a special birthday.

I have just spent a week in Heaven (your home!) The colours you have chosen blend in with the surroundings perfectly and it is so spacious, comfortable and relaxing. Of course the view is magnificent! Always changing, entertainment in itself. Thank you for an unbeatable week.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in such a beautiful home. The scenery from the house is spectacular! The straits, the flowers, the snow-capped Mt. Baker and the playful deer who seemed to perform just for us - all combined to make this a fantastic place. What a comfortable, beautiful home.

Vancouver Island (& BC) must be God's best kept secret. The most beautiful place on earth, nothing compares - the natural beauty defies elucidation. I was totally in disbelief everywhere was the same and I leave in awe. The house was wonderful, great layout, lots of space but at the same time those precious coming together areas over a glass of wine.

Amazing, stunning. All first timers in Canada. Your house should be on MTV's cribs. Love the house, the country and the people.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know we really enjoyed our trip to Victoria. The Seapearl home we rented was fantastic. This home has one of the most spectacular ocean views I have ever seen. The furnishings were beautiful and very contemporary. Thanks for recommending this home.

Great house! We really enjoyed having lots of room to spread out. Gorgeous views and well maintained. This is our eighth year traveling together and this is by far the prettiest place we've visited.
