Overview

A truly unique west coast experience. Caddy's Carriage House is a self-contained cedar studio with a loft bedroom steps from the beach and minutes to nearby restaurants and shopping in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown Victoria and all its amenities.
The beach is a delight in all seasons, while the city with its many attractions is a twelve minute drive or bus ride away.

About The Owner
I love the beach and the ocean, so was excited to purchase a property so close to my favorite beach, one where I played as a young child. I enjoy traveling and meeting people from other places so having a vacation rental property enhances this experience. I am a published author and freelance writer. I own a kayak which I use at the nearby beach, but only in fair weather.
I was born and raised in Victoria, so know the city and surrounding areas well and can help guide my visitors to places outside the guidebooks, if that is part of your vacation plan.
The Owner purchased this studio in 2006
What makes this studio unique
The property is very quiet with few neighbors, yet only a short distance by car or bus from the heart of downtown Victoria and all that beautiful city has to offer. The nearby beach is lovely in all seasons, and it is possible to easily walk along the beach to nearby shops in the Cadboro Bay Village.

Our stay was too short!!!
As soon as we stepped into this beach cottage, we knew we would want to stay longer than the three days we had booked. Everything about this cozy little home was perfect! It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities we needed, including special features like a whirlpool bath, a washer/drier and a big supply of movies and books. The Cadboro Bay location is peaceful and beautiful, away from the city scene, but we only needed to step outside to catch a bus to downtown Victoria. We purchased inexpensive BC transit tickets at the nearby pharmacy, a short walk from the Bay. The buses run very frequently and can take you anywhere on the West side of the Island, including to the ferry in Sidney. We did not need to rent a car while staying on Vancouver Island.
One of the most delightful things about our stay in the Cadboro Bay cottage was getting to know Kathleen and John! They were so very welcoming and helpful!
Adorable place!
My husband and I stayed here in August. We were visiting from Connecticut, USA and stayed here. Kathy was very accommodating. We had a friend of ours from Washington State meet us there - he slept on the sofa downstairs. It was perfect! Kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry was an added bonus.
Woke up to twin fawns napping in the flowerbed... Short walk down the street to the beach!
We had such a nice stay! The little cottage is close and handy to the primary residence, but you would have thought you had the whole property to yourself. A great spot to come back to, very quiet, after a busy day of being a tourist. We had all the privacy we were hoping for, yet Kathleen was handy to give us advice and directions. We enjoyed the 10-15 minute drive on Beach drive to downtown. So much to see. Bed was very comfortable! Nice to have the cooktop and BBQ also. Thanks so much. I've already had a friend ask about it and planning on using you for her visit to Victoria.
Wonderfully quiet cottage close to the sea
What a WONDERFUL week long vacation in Caddy's Carriage house. We stayed here with our 7 year old son, and he loved the loft and the "cozy cabin" as he put it. It is within walking distance to a local grocery and drug store, a coffee shop, a few restaurants, trinket/clothing shops, and a board rental shop. We were able to rent a few boards and do some paddle boarding in Cadboro Bay. What a delightful experience! The cottage was cute and quaint and we felt right at home. The amenities including laundry on site, toaster oven, and a small stove were also very helpful. There is also a BBQ grill out back that we used to grill some salmon we caught on one of our days out fishing. What a great experience to be able to go "home" after a busy day sight seeing and relax either in the cottage or a be a few minutes away from the sandy beaches of Cadboro Bay. Thanks to Kathleen and John for a little piece of heaven and such great hospitality.
great home away from home!
We had a great 2 week stay at Caddy's Carriage House just recently. We had a very relaxing time. The location is great as it is walking distance to a local beach and small retail centre with all sorts of handy shops and restaurants. The carriage house is lovely. It has everything you would need. We enjoyed our sleeps in the cozy loft and overall apartment is well appointed. Definitely a wonderful place to stay! Thanks!
Perfect!!
We LOVED this comfortable rental. I took my two teenagers on vacation and this was the perfect location for our stay in Victoria. It was walking distance to the small retail center where we bought morning coffee. The center also has a locally owned grocery market and a couple of dining options. The neighborhood was delightfully quiet and everyone was friendly. The bay was a two minute walk. Fun to walk along the sand and end up at the coffee shop. The accommodations were perfect as well and very COMFORTABLE! Beds were great and the place was so cozy. Perfect for cooking an easy meal, too! We loved coming back and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. So much better than a hotel. Can't imagine staying anywhere else and the hosts were very helpful and gracious. We will definitely be back!
