About the host

Host profile image
I am a well known professional in the area of community health promotion. I'm fit, active and healthy-- I love to travel. I love my house-- its bright, cheery, in a great location and fantastic neighbours. I rent to visitors when I am away exploring other parts of the world. I leave my home nice and comfy for you so you can enjoy a home away from home. I hope you enjoy it and love it like your own while you stay.

Why they chose this property

I have a beautiful little house in a great part of Victoria. The house is a post war home (1942) and I've landscaped the front to be a cottage garden. A few steps down the street takes you to the Breakwater, and Dallas Road. Most mornings I take my coffee to the beach to start the day and I pack up my dinner and eat at the beach too. Its a quick walk to the grocery store (Thrifty's), Pharmasave and other amenities in James Bay. A short walk to downtown Victoria as well.

Perfect getaway for the summer and you can work from my beautiful bright home office (there is an external monitor for you to use with your computer).
