We had a wonderful stay at Mill Bay! The property is as described: has a comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, sunroom, and equipped food prep area. A helpful responsive host. Top highlights: the beautiful views and access to the beach, back yard hangout area overlooking the bay, and a great proximity to Mill Bay shops and the wharf. Would happily visit again.

I have been a “Super Host” for over 20 years, and have never had to ask a traveller to vacate my home until this instance. I had ample cause. This situation is now in the hands of VRBO host support. Despite this distressing experience, I look forward to hosting many more interesting and pleasant VRBO guests. I will not let one bad apple spoil the lot!

The home and hostesses were amazing. So very helpful, friendly and kind. Making sure we were happy and feeling at home with our unit. I’d definitely stay with them and there again when we’re in the Mill Bay Area. Sitting outside in the morning having a coffee or tea was amazingly peaceful.

Glad you had a ringside view of the Regatta - and an easy walk to Brentwood. The Regatta is a favourite weekend here in Mill Bay for many of our guests - and this year’s sunny weather was an added bonus. Hope to welcome you back!

Very clean property with a comfortable bed. Close to dining and grocery store. Tide was in during our stay so we did not go down to the beach. The water is not suitable for swimming as there is a thick sludge matter on the ocean in the area.

Amazing view, quiet location and lovely hosts! Fantastic communication with hosts who want to please! Clean and meticulously maintained home and yard. What more could one ask for?! To sit in the evening and watch the twinkle of the harbour and airplane lights across the strait was priceless, not to mention the amazing sunrise over the ocean. A 10 minute walk to all amenities including shopping and restaurants can’t be beat. A piece of paradise for sure.

Strictly speaking it is a view of Saanich Inlet, not the Oceanview. However the view is really good. The place is tidy and clean. The disadvantage is that there is no signage on the street. That doesn't make it easy to find. This place is not for a couple getaway weekends, but for a tranquil retirement traveling.
