About this property

ESPLANADE BEACH SUITE

Enjoy unobstructed panoramic ocean views from our brand new waterfront, two bedroom, two bathroom, beach suite. Step out onto the Esplanade and indulge yourself in long walks on Willows Beach, Oak Bay's only white sand beach and the finest beach in all of Greater Victoria.

Cindy and I are passionate about developing unique waterfront properties and creating memorable vacation experiences for our guests. You can find reviews for our other waterfront property at VRBO Shawnigan Lake #720196.

Our Esplanade renovation was completed in December 2018 and boasts a 1400 square foot ground-level suite with a full custom kitchen, including stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and under cabinet lighting. The master bedroom includes a king size bed with a three-piece ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom includes two single beds. The main three-piece bathroom includes a full-sized tub. Other amenities include a gas fireplace in the living room, heated tiled floors in the bathrooms, and a separate washer and dryer. We pride ourselves on providing an impeccably clean suite for our guests.

Our Esplanade Beach Suite is located on the waterfront in the exclusive township of Oak Bay, and is just a seven minute drive to downtown Victoria. We are only minutes away from waterfront dining at the Marina Restaurant, the Penny Farthing Pub in Oak Bay Village, the Village Restaurant in Estevan Village, an amazing children's park on Willows Beach, and two world class golf courses.

Cindy and I live on the upper floor of the house, and are available to answer questions and make suggestions to ensure that your needs are met during your stay.

Parking and high speed internet access included. Maximum four occupants. No smoking and no pets.

***Jan-May and Oct-Dec, minimum 2 night stay
***Jun-Aug, minimum 3 night stay

Wonderful beach side lower level apartment with excellent appliances and beds. Clean and comfortable. Cindy and Colin were gracious hosts..very attentive yet not intrusive. Convenient to local restaurants, grocery stores, and shops in the Oak Bay area. Watch sailboats, freighters, wind surfers and harbor seals from your private deck.

Very immaculate property inside and out. Having the beach and ocean view makes this a very quiet and peaceful place. Trying to see much of Victoria and Vancouver Island in two days detracts from the time in the unit but the beach walk is worth the time.

Our stay was perfect, the apartment had everything we needed to be comfortable relaxing, cooking, sleeping, showering. We were blessed with great weather, allowing us to spend time time on the lawn watching the ocean and beachfront activity.Colin and Cindy responded quickly to any inquiries, and were wonderful hosts.They'd also left lots of material and maps to make the most out of our stay in Victoria. We'd definitely come back!

This is a comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment suite in a beautiful and quiet location. Oak Bay is charming offering a 25 minute drive to Victoria. The esplanade is right out your front door and is lovely for an early morning or evening walk to bookend your days of enjoying Victoria and the various scenic areas that surround it.
