Of all the short term rentals we have stayed in, this was by far the best appointed; we needed nothing to add for our 4 night stay. Excellent location and lovely property. Host Cathie was warm and helpful, easy to contact. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Victoria.

This was a lovely property, inside and out. Even in the off season the garden was beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower water was hot and plentiful. The host provided a number of amenities that made our stay very comfortable. We also appreciated the attention paid to recyling and composting.

The property is centrally located and close to everything. It was very clean and is well equipped with all that you need. It even has a washer and dryer if you need to do some laundry. It has a very nice garden/patio sitting area where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The host provided us with some lovely breakfast items which included eggs, bread, yogurt and juice. I would recommend this suite to anyone visiting the Victoria area.

Check in was smooth and easy. Cathie sent a video to show how to unlock our suite which was very helpful and made arrival a breeze. She also stocked some easy breakfast items so we had no need to run to the store right away. Very clean and organized with a beautiful covered patio and surrounding garden. Lots of privacy yet close to many things. We look forward to visiting again.

This property and owner are absolute gems! Communication was superlative! Extremely accommodating and available for questions. She also provided some basic groceries to last over u til we settled in…she asked about food intolerances and even made accommodation for those! The garden space is fabulous and relaxing.

Cathie's place was beautiful, it was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon! The garden in her backyard was lovely, we really enjoyed eating on her patio set each morning. Everything was immaculate inside and out, we had everything we needed. Cathie was so on top of communication and making sure we were as comfortable as possible.
