Caroline was the loveliest host, from the wine to the fresh cut flowers and grocery essentials in the fridge. Incredibly clean property and stunning garden and water views. Very close to all amenities you may need during your stay and to Victoria's many offerings. Very smooth check in and check out. This was a great place to stay and feel welcome. The owner lives downstairs however, she is quite attuned to guest's privacy and possible needs. Well equipped kitchen, stocked paper goods, a basket of pet items if needed, laundry facilities and really anything a home away from home needs. Lots of space inside, a large patio with a killer view and a peaceful garden to enjoy. This is an exceptional home to enjoy and easy to get anywhere else you need to go.

Probably the most beautiful rental we've ever stayed in, and the most accommodating host, as well. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. The structure itself is stunning, and the decor is absolutely charming. The location is near Victoria proper without feeling "big city."

One of the best VRBO rentals we have stayed in. The house, yard and views are beautiful. The house is spotlessly clean, spacious and very well stocked with everything you need- truly feels like a home away from home.

About the host

I’m retired and enjoy gardening and meeting people
I love to hear about where they live and their travels

Why they chose this property

We bought this property for the view and waterfront. It was an old renovated cottage with minimal garden. We have transformed it into a delightful garden with an amazing new home designed and built by my son Trevor. You will find the setting peaceful and relaxing with access to all amenities within minutes. We welcome pets with sleeping kennels and responsible owners.

What makes this property unique

Close to all amenities but feels separate from the main stream city because of the amazing waterfront views of Portage Inlet and inviting garden
