The Arbutus Loft- 2 bed suite in new home walk to beach & Golf
Welcome to The Arbutus Loft! Ardmore is an exclusive neighbourhood with very large lots surrounded by trees and ocean. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac this loft within a new executive home was completed in 2023. Start your morning gazing out the wall of windows that has you floating in the trees. What next? Access one of the many public forested trails; perhaps a 150m trail walk South to Coles Bay or a 600m walk North to Ardmore golf course, you will feel like you are living in a resort.
Ardmore is connected by trails throughout the neighbourhood allowing for walking, running, and cycling in the forest. Being on the west side of the peninsula we are sheltered which provides warmer air and ocean temperatures. Swimming and paddle boarding in Coles Bay is popular throughout the summer.
We designed this house with privacy in mind; no walls in the suite are shared with the living space of the main house. The 900 square foot loft is above the garage but has been fully soundproofed plus double drywall and triple pane windows, no need to tip toe around as we cannot hear each other! The living room/kitchen is open concept with a wall of windows and a skylight as well as a privacy window in the bathroom; it is an extremely bright and quiet suite that feels even roomier with 9 foot ceilings.
The Kitchen is spacious and complete with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and soft close drawers. It is fully outfitted including a Nespresso machine, kettle, waffle maker, pancake griddle, rice cooker and stocked with essentials such as Nespresso pods, tea, spices, oil, sugar and a few treats! Full size laundry is also available beside the kitchen.
Two bedrooms each with new high-end King size beds and black out blinds ensure a quiet and comfortable sleep. Plenty of room to hang and fold your things as each bedroom comes with closet organizers.
The living room has plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a book or access your favorite streaming accounts on the 58” Samsung smart TV (cable is provided). Wi-Fi is lightning fast for use throughout the Loft including a small computer desk with pull out tray should you need to do a bit of work.
You will be comfortable year-round with heat and A/C provided by a mini split system as well as ceiling fans located in each bedroom. Fresh filtered air is continually circulated through the loft via an HRV system. No need for bottled water as all water to the house is processed through a state of the art filtration system.

The owners put a lot of thought into this place, they have everything you could ever need, and then some! Very clean, classy and comfortable! Loved our stay!
Outstanding Loft which was perfectly maintained, extremely well-equipped, quiet, comfortable and well-located. Hosts Aaron and Nancy were quickly responsive and helpful.
Extremely clean and quiet. Very thoughtful amenities. We were blown away by the property and everything they had done to ensure visitors have everything needed (or wanted!). All four of us happily and enthusiastically recommend this property.

The Arbutus Loft is a bright, spacious, welcoming and very well-appointed space. The kitchen was fully stocked for any possible meal preparation. The two bedrooms with king size beds were plush and luxuriously comfortable.Every amenity needed was available and the place felt like a new home. Beautifully designed, impeccably clean and located in a quiet cul-de-sac with walking trails steps away.I would highly recommend the Arbutus Loft to anyone who enjoys a quiet, comfortable space to relax for a few days or week.
This place is spotless and extremely well maintained. The hosts are very responsive, friendly and accommodating. It's also situated in a beautiful area only minutes from parks, trails and beaches.

One of the best B&B’s we’ve stayed at. Brand new unit, high ceiling and big windows truly provide a resort atmosphere, with all amenities provided for.
Everything was over and above expectations. Treats in the fridge and welcome basket (which the grandkids enjoyed). Lots of soft towels. Comfortable furniture. Well equipped kitchen.
This property is beautiful and clean. In a nice quiet neighborhood.
The hosts left a nice note for us upon arrival and check in was simple and easy
The king beds were comfortable, and the extra little things provided (small snacks, etc) were a nice touch.
I would definately recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.
We would definately stay here again if we come back through the area.
