We worked with the builders two years to custom design & build out the PARC Penthouse. It is the complete opposite of our California high desert ranch. While we were under construction we traveled Europe, Canada and the U S buying art and contemporary furnishings. It has been a very rewarding experience and we love to share it with friends and guests from all over the world!

Enjoyed my stay so much in your comfortable, beautifully decorated condo. Everything anyone could possibly want or need was there, thanks to your thoughtfulness. I had a wonderful time and found it hard to tear myself away from the views in your beautiful condo. Especially from the comfy sectional in the den! Even though the weather was cool and wet there, it was still better than the blizzards going on in Minnesota while I was gone. The cherry trees were all in bloom while I was there – a delightful surprise. Can’t think of anything else – it was everything it was advertised to be and much more!

Hi Jack & Julie, The updated vrbo web site listing looks great! We have told ALL our friends and family about your wonderful pent house condo in Victoria. It was a memorable vacation and stay there . . . we are STILL talking about it and hope to return someday; just the two of us . . . and enjoy it again. By the way, I think posting the "Comments" is a very good idea as that is what we (and friends) find most helpful in making a long distance decision when renting. Thank you again for opening up your lovely home to us. Sincerely, Andrea & Fred (Carlson)

What a tremendous place you have in Victoria. We went with high expectations based on your web site and you certainly exceeded those expectations with your wonderful condo and location. Clearly you've put a great deal of effort into making this a special place. This was truly the place to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
