About this property

Quaint and quiet retreat close to beach

A clean, cozy space with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. You'll find a small fridge, microwave, kettle, French press, and access to a small BBQ. It’s a simple, welcoming setup, and pets are welcome — with supplies provided to make their stay easy as well.

Located in a peaceful neighbourhood close to beaches, hiking trails, and the University of Victoria, this spot offers the perfect balance of quiet surroundings and easy access to the city. Downtown is about a 15–20 minute drive, or you can take the scenic waterfront route. Along the way you can stop at Cadboro Bay and enjoy the beach and wonderful playground, continue to Cattle Point or stroll along Willows Beach where you might spot paddle boarders and kayakers. Further along you’ll pass the beautiful Victoria Golf Club. You can continue on the scenic waterfront until you arrive at Clover Point, a favourite local viewpoint for watching kite surfers, parasailers, and dog walkers. Before heading downtown, you can also stop at the Ogden Point for a walk along the breakwater.

When it’s time to head home the airport and ferries are 25-30 minutes away.

The place was spotless. I didn’t read the details carefully enough and went there expecting a kitchen and laundry facilities. The location is lovely, Tatiana could not have been more welcoming and helpful, the shower is great. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to sleep comfortably. There’s a small fridge and a microwave.

Had a wonderful stay here for 3 days. Super location close to the beach and university, with convenient parking right in front of the property. Space was clean and comfortable and wonderfully cool during what was a scorching week in Victoria. Very comfortable beds and a nice big shower too. Great communication from Tatiana our host. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely basement suite in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the water. If you don’t need a full kitchen or laundry facilities this is a perfect little spot.
