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.

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."

Beautiful home in lovely setting. We felt like we were staying in a good friends home, unlike the sterile minimalist settings you get in some vacation rentals. The master suite is spectacular and perfect for lounging with a spacious deck. The kitchen was very well equipped and the induction hot plate and airfryer/toaster oven were fine for our needs. Caroline provided us with more treats than we could enjoy and was a wonderful host. We didn't get to use the hot tub but it was at perfect temperature and ready to go. We also appreciated that we could bring our two small dogs along. We hope to return in summer months next year to see the amazing garden in full bloom.

Beautiful views!! Noisy with #1 hwy behind and construction!!One picture on line isn’t accurate as shows a build in oven and microwave which there wasn’t !Especially staying for a one stay there was only a two burner hot plate and a small toaster oven/ air fryer! We weren’t told until a week before we arrived by owner whom we’d weren’t told lives down below in a suite in the house plus her daughter lives in a suite in garage! We should have been told in the VRBO listing as no private!Even we didn’t use the hot tub as it’s right by the walkway to owners suite and they walk by it!We would have cancelled from the get go if we knew all of the false advertising on it!Owner was nice though!!Home was full of stuff like they just moved out very cluttered!! Sorry but we have travelled to and stayed in many VRBO’s but first time we’ve seen this as I felt we weren’t told the truth! Was disappointed but mad due!It’s great for a few days stay if visiting Victoria and area!

We have had many changes in our province for short term rentals and adjustments were made to comply with local bylaws. A difficult decision so that we could offer an affordable home like stay in our beautiful Victoria. Transparency is a priority. Description will be amended. Caitlin and Jock were resourceful and managed to cope with alternate cooking means. Thank you for your input.

Spacious well furnished with a gorgeous view we wished we could have stayed longer than 3 nights. The peace and quiet of the location belie the fact that the main centre of the city of Victoria was a very short drive away. Close to supermarkets, top attractions like Buchart Gardens and many restaurants the house was like home with a well stocked kitchen, fluffy bathrobes and towels and the A frame gave beautiful views of Portage Inlet. Caroline’s well tended garden framed every picture! A truly unique and outstanding property!

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
