About this property

THE SUITE:

Located in a lovely country setting, 20 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to downtown Victoria, this idyllic vacation invites you to relax out on your private deck, and enjoy the peace of a home away from home. Pamper yourself in the extra deep soaker tub, enjoy a movie on Netflix on the widescreen Smart TV, and dive into bed early after a great day of adventuring on the West Coast.

The Suite does not have cooking facilities per se (due to a local bylaw). It is, however, equipped with a 2 burner glass cook top, a bar sized fridge, toaster, coffee maker, electric tea kettle and of course, glasses, dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans for cooking in house if you would like.

The spacious Master bedroom, has a lovely king-sized bed and Smart TV, with cable or Netflix for late night viewing.

The Master bathroom has a deep soaker tub/shower, 2 separate sinks and fresh linens.

The Private deck/entry is great for sunbathing or enjoying a morning coffee, with a treetop view. There is a staircase with its own private entry.

The living room/kitchenette also has a double pull out couch for an additional 1-2 guests, and a single bed (Max 5 in the suite) NOTE: We can provide a pack and play crib if required.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

A 10 minute walk from the Treetop Suite is the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, in the Glendale Gardens and Woodlands, with a beautiful spot for breakfast, called "Charlotte and the Quail", boasting fabulous, organic, local fare. We highly recommend you enjoy a walk to the gardens and tea at the Bistro during your stay. A great place for family photos!

VICTORIA:

Spend your days touring Centennial Square, Jazz Fest and the fabulous events of the summer season downtown Victoria. Take in all the street performers, talented local artists and incredible musicians on the world famous Inner Harbour and Government Street. Spend your evenings walking along the ocean at Dallas Road and stroll the breakwater to the picture perfect lighthouse, topping off the night with a beer and tappa at one of the amazing restaurants Victoria is famous for.

Sushi fan? Make a reservation at Ebizo Sushi (one of our favourite spots) and try their amazing Riki Roll (not on the menu) and the Tuna Tataki with EXTRA cabbage and sauce!

Saturdays, in the late afternoon and evening is a great day to plan to take in the stunning sights at the World Famous Butchart Gardens. Enjoy a dinner in the gardens and a fabulous fireworks display when the sun goes down, all summer long! (Fireworks July/August only) Bring a blanket to lay on under the stars! Coming in the winter? Make sure to take in the Christmas lights of Butcharts, skate under the stars and enjoy the 12 days of Christmas that is sure to take your breath away!

Most of the beautiful beaches in the Greater Victoria area are a short 15-20 min drive away. Island View Beach, Cordova bay, Gyro park and Willows beach are the favourites, but there are many more to choose from! You can also enjoy a beautiful 10km walk around Elk and Beaver Lake, a 5 minute drive away, and Durrance Lake is a great (local favourite) for a dip in the summertime! Make sure you stop in at the Red Barn Market for some Island Farms Ice cream on your way to the lake!

There are also beautiful walking trails up the road, and right across the street as well as the lovely Horticultural Center of the Pacific for a small fare.

Quiet comfort and convenience!

Enjoyed our taste of life in Victoria, staying in a nice suburb that is centrally located. Arrived at night but had easy access to the well-lit apartment which was very comfortable and well appointed. Had plenty of supplies for cooking "at home" and a nearby grocery store, as well as takeout options when we didn't want to eat out. Enjoyed an easy drive to the Butchart Gardens as well as downtown attractions. Barely saw the hosts, but did not need them.

Treetop SWEET!!

This was such a great experience! We were leary about the fact that it was literally attached to someone's actual home, which it did not specify until after we booked, but it ended up being amazing!!

Handy spot, close to Victoria

The treehouse suite is clean, comfortable and well equipped for a short stay. Great king bed and spacious bathroom. Location worked well for us to visit Butchart Gardens, hop over to Salt Spring for a day and check out some other local spots. Would be easy to get into Victoria too. And relatively close for getting back to the airport at the end of our trip.

Felt like home

Really loved our stay at the Treetop. It was private yet close to all amenities. The view and property was beautiful. Our suite was immaculate and very pretty. Enough room for 3 adults. Highly recommended & would stay again. The owners were pleasant & we had no problems whatsoever. Treat yourself and stay at the Treetop.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon de Geest

I fell in love with Victoria 37 years ago when we moved our family of 5 out West. The weather, the mountains, the Inner Harbour, the ocean, fresh air, great dining, pubs, music and the wonderful people of this city made it impossible to ever leave for us! I raised my kids here, and now get to enjoy it with 10 grandchildren (who are the best part of my life!)

I purchased Solid Rock Acres 30 years ago, and built this dream home with family in 2008. When my kids moved away, and I started on the path to retirement, I decided to share our home with travellers, and have never looked back! Meeting wonderful people from all over the world has been a highlight of hosting with Airbnb, and I look forward to meeting you!

I love the outdoor beauty of this area, so close to the lakes, hiking, ocean, fishing, golfing and yet on the outskirts of the city! The heritage buildings of downtown Victoria, the many beaches and of course, Butchart Gardens are among my favourite places to enjoy with family and friends!

I hope you fall in love with Victoria as I have!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this 2 acre property back in 1989, with a tiny 600 sq ft, 100 year old house and a giant black berry bush covering most of the property. We raised our family of 5 in that home and worked together for over 30 years to transform the property to where it is today. In 2008, we designed and built this custom dream home with 2 of our children & their spouses, and lived together in community for almost 8 years! Life has since moved them on to other adventures but I still own the property with our daughter, who rents out her previous residence next door as a vacation rental. I decided to open the Treetop Suite to travellers in 2015, and have never looked back. I so enjoy hosting people from around the globe, and sharing this dream home with them! I hope you feel the love on which this house is built, as you stay in the Treetop suite. Welcome to your home away from home!
