Caroline’s home is clean and comfortable and she is an excellent host. Everything we needed was on hand and she was available to answer questions. If we ever have the chance to return to Victoria we would love to stay again.
Upon arrival we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and homemade muffins, which were absolutely delicious! Caroline was friendly and welcoming without being invasive. Her home is beautiful and perfect for our stay in Victoria.

Debra’s group was friendly and communicated well. Respectful of my home and would be welcome anytime.
Caroline is a lovely host who is very available for communication, and the home and garden are beautiful. The view is stunning, and it was great to see wildlife, like eagles and otters in the inlet. Overall a very good experience.
What a great stay. The house is beautiful with large windows that provide a great view. The garden is absolutely beautiful. A huge plus for us was the continental breakfast that was provided, the muffins were delicious. Also she had shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, bar soap, qtips, tp, laundry detergent, etc which was very helpful and much appreciated. Definitely recommend
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.
Everything was great! Caroline was a great host. It’s a beautiful location and had everything we needed for a home base on our family trip to Victoria.
Gorgeous views. Place is very spacious and comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked with necessary cooking tools and appliances. Host responds quickly to any questions. We loved staying at this place.
Super welcoming hosts and had the house prepared with everything you could think of needing for your stay!Easy check in and out instructions and guided within the house for everything. Even though it’s near the road you can’t hear it and it’s a very peaceful place to stay.
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."

Tim and family were great guests. Very interesting to talk to.
They left everything very tidy. Thank you for staying with us.
This was a perfect place to stay as a home base for a family visit and access to various areas in and around Victoria. Caroline was so kind and responsive. The view is incredible. We couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend.
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. The host is very friendly and responsive and always available for questions and to help. Much appreciated Caroline.
We enjoyed our trip very much! The views of the gorge were amazing and the place had everything we needed. Caroline went above and beyond in making sure that we enjoyed our stay and that everything was provided for us!
We loved our stay. There was a brief problem with the plumbing but the owner had it addressed by the next morning. Absolutely lovely location. Would definitely recommend.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The views from both levels of the Gorge are amazing. The home was very clean and well looked after, very spacious and there is lots of natural light due to the large windows at the back of the house on both levels. Nice back yard.

Thank you John. It was a pleasure to meet you and Joan. Hope to see you again.
This home is even better in person than the pictures can display. Wonderful view and a nice energy inside the house. A very relaxing place to rest and enjoy peace and quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Marcy Ross
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
