We enjoyed hosting you! We like to create a welcoming and peaceful environment, as best we can.
And yes, there here are some great amenities within walking distance- groceries,hardware, take out foods and also some beautiful natural "amenities " Mountains, beach walks and a bird sanctuary.
Glad we could provide an enjoyable stay!
This was a very comfortable suite. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and a lovely gas stove and oven, full-sized fridge with freezer.The suite was quiet, the location was excellent for us and the hosts were friendly and thoughtful. It was great to have the washer and dryer in the suite, a private entrance and close proximity to the ferry. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. We have endeavored to stock the suite with everything needed for a long or short stay! We like it to be a home away from home for our guests, and would love to host you again in the future!
All the best, Pete and Julie
The property was virtually brand new. The owner clearly takes pride in the cleanliness and amenities of the unit. The bed was fantastic and the kitchen was fully stocked with every gadget you could need.
This place is so great that we are going again next summer! Everything was really clean, and the entire unit was well thought-out and impeccably organized. The kitchen was well-stocked, and there wasn't one thing that we needed during our month there that they didn't have.The bed was reallllllly comfortable, the linens were fantastic, and there were plenty of pillows and even a couple throw-blankets to use in the living area while watching TV.Peter and Julie are great hosts. Check-in was easy, and there is a private entrace and private small outdoor space to BBQ or to sit and have coffee. We got some great pointers from them on local places to go.The location was great as well; if you have a car, it's an easy drive to Butchart Gardens or to downtown Victoria. There are lots of other places to see nearby, and the downtown Sidney area is packed with shops and really good restaurants (and don't miss the Thursday night street market there!). If you don't have a car, the BC bus has a major route that stops only a few blocks away, and you can hop a bus there to go into Victoria without transferring. Thanks, Peter and Julie, for a great stay!
I had a lovely stay!! The hosts were very welcoming and the suite was very cozy and had everything you could need plus some extra nice touches. Would love to stay again!

Our stay here was exceptional. The unit was equipped with everything we could possibly need. We really enjoyed the large tv in the evenings. The bed was very comfortable with provided bedding for any temperature required. It was cool and rainy our first week so we appreciated the comforter. The second week was warm so we switched to the light blanket. The bathroom is a good size with towels, shampoo, a hair dryer and even lotion and a first aid kit. The kitchen just felt like home to me with all necessary cooking supplies. We love Sidney and found this unit helped make our stay comfortable by providing a clean space with all the comforts of home.

Julie and I enjoyed hosting you both! We have outfitted the suite to be a "home like" experience, hoping to provide our guests with a comfortable stress free stay, including a well equipped kitchen.
We look forward to hosting you again should the opportunity arise!

Enjoyed our stay very much! A very comfortable suite for a couple. Owners are helpful and not intrusive. Stayed six weeks without a car and found Sidney to be a very walkable community.
Was exactly as advertised. Beautifully manicured property. The hosts, Peter and Julie were great. Were there for any inquiries we had, but very much left us on our own. Very quiet hosts upstairs and the neighborhood as well. Still close to downtown and the water. Would defiantly stay here next time we are on Vancouver Island.
Thank you!
We appreciated having you stay with us and were happy that the suite worked out well for you both. We enjoy providing a home away from home for our guests!
We would look forward to hosting you again if you are back in our area again.
All the best,
Pete and Julie
This truly cozy vrbo is the best provisioned we've experienced. We were impressed by the cleanliness, finishes and tasteful decor. The little Christmas tree inside and the wreath on the entry door were very nice personal touches. Our hosts were personable, very friendly, accommodating and quick to respond to our inquiries. We would not hesitate to stay again at this comfy retreat and fully expect when next visiting the area, we will.

Peter and Julie were great hosts. The suite was very clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with supplies. The location for good for walking to parks and is a 20 minute walk to downtown Sidney or a 5 minute drive. We would stay again and highly recommend it to others!
The suite is so very clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything needed for our stay. The hosts are friendly and welcoming, we would highly recommend to our friends and families.
This was a great place to stay for my wife and I. We had a very late arrival and our host had kindly provided some grocery items for breakfast; which was very much appreciated. Very convenient to both ferries and airport and just exactly as shown in the add. Very clean with everything you could need for your stay. Would highly recommend a stay here.
