Quiet relaxed home close to lagoon and ferry terminal

We enjoyed this property for 2 weeks in June-July, including the Canada day holiday. Large covered deck overlooking tidal lagoon is very relaxing. Enjoyed the Canada Day events in Sidney and riding bikes to Swartz Bay ferries for day trips. We may well return next summer. If we go again we would check tide table ahead of time for afternoon paddleboarding. Interior of property comfortable.

Nature and proximity

Overall the stay was wonderful. We had nature, space, proximity to Sidney and we where next to the ferry terminal. The VRBO was spacious, clean, and was located in a beautiful neighborhood. We got to see many birds all around.The reason why I did not give it the full 5 stars was because one night seemed to have been a party night at the stay. I was unable to sleep. It killed the nature vibe and quietness that we were expecting. We thought that by 10pm the noise was going to stop but it didn't.

Beautiful location

Beautiful location, close to both nature and downtown Sydney at the same time. The extra bedroom has its own entrance. This was nice to have when having people that may want a bit more privacy or that have a different wake/bedtime than the group. We would definitely stay again.

An Oasis near the Sea

Whether you enjoy bird watching, (the blue herons nesting) cycling, golfing, hiking or just enjoying the oceanside walks, this location is incredible. Close to Sidney and the ferries and also drivable to anywhere on the Island. We stayed for an entire month! We had family visitors on two occasions. In fact, we booked the third bedroom for one stay and had lots of room for all of us. Highly recommend it! We hope to return sometime.

Island stay

We enjoyed our stay in the area and were happy with the amount of space we had. But the foot traffic overhead was quite loud. The igloo outside looked fun, but it was too dirty to use. There were clothes left behind from prior guests and a lot of dust under the beds. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Everything worked well and the rest of the place was clean.

About the host

Hosted by Scotty Henderson

From Manitoba and Vancouver, we both have been in hospitality previously and have remained advid travellers having done several world trips. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities that we share from our travels and try to remain unobstructive yet available for our guests.

Why they chose this property

This property gives a sanctity with nature and space to explore. There is a full covered deck to listen to the birds and watch the tides come and go over the grassy plains. The beds are hotel quality and the suite provides most of the comforts of home hopefully with a few new touches. Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, parks and flat trails to town.
