About this property

Seaside Family Home with a peaceful setting overlooking a sheltered bay

Hosts Bob & Jennifer are retired world travellers and enjoy welcoming guests from home and abroad. Salty's by the Sea is a recent, well planned addition to their family home of 50 years. Beyond our fully fenced gardens, there is easy access to the sea shore and our sheltered bay, where seals bask on rocks, eagles soar, ducks and birds come to play.

Our spacious 600 sq ft ground floor studio comes with a well equipped kitchenette, living area with queen sofa bed, a cosy queen bed area and bathroom with shower. Through the sliding doors to a fenced garden and area, our sea side garden is ready for your enjoyment under the gazebo and other sitting areas by the sea. Our mellow Bearded Collie, Fergus, invites your friendly dog (Under 75 kg) to visit his back yard. Sorry but we cannot accept cats.

Our seaside home is 30 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from the BC Ferries terminal. Full shopping amenities are nearby.

We provide our guests with starter basics for several breakfasts; milk, juice, coffee and tea; cereals, eggs, yogurt & bread.

It was a memorable weekend at Metchosin. It’s quiet and vibrant. Jennifer and Bob’s place is something you will treasure, you have the million dollar view while watching the seals, birds, kayakers and ships passing by.

Slice of Paradise

Bob and Jennifer were gracious hosts with tons of suggestions on things to do in and around Victoria. The property itself was beautifully manicured with ample outdoor seating to just sit around and watch the ships, seals, bald eagles and even whales. The suite is lovely and well equipped.

Great respite location from busy Victoria

Enjoyed our calm and relaxing stay at Bob and Jennifer's beautiful property. Very generous hosts who generously provided a few breakfast items to get us started. The back yard was a wonderful sanctuary with a beautiful view, and it was fenced for our dog, too. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Quiet Getaway close to Victoria

Bob and Jennifer are sweet. We wanted quiet privacy to celebrate our anniversary just the two of us and we found that here with a private apartment attached to Bob and Jennifer's home. Beautiful view, quiet neighborhood, and simple breakfast items for us.

Perfect getaway!

The location was perfect for us. We wanted to have a car so we didn’t want to be downtown. To have the water right there was just spectacular. What a special spot! Thanks for sharing your home with us Bob and Jennifer (and Fergus)!

Bob and Jennifer were very kind and accommodating hosts. The apartment was just perfect size for 2 adults. It was very clean and well cared for. The best part was the stunning views from the back yard. My hisband and I would sit out each night with a beverage and watch nature in action. It was a busy little bay woth seals, heron, kingfisher, hummingbirds and bats. Thank you Jennifer and Bob!!

The Place to Stay....

The description of the place was correct with no surprises. The owners were very kind and met me as I arrived to give me a tour. The location is about a 15 minute drive to down town Victoria and about 45 minutes to the Airport or the Swartz ferry terminal. I was there for ten nights and enjoyed my stay. The bed is actually very comfortable. The area around the property is an amazing place with forest everywhere and some really beautiful homes. Great place to take walks or a drive.

We had an amazing stay at Bob and Jennifer's home and enjoyed our morning coffee looking out on the water watching sea lions, otters and other wildlife. The unit came complete with some groceries to get one though the first night incase you were not able to get to a store. Bob and Jennifer were very accommodating offering their advice to any questions we may have had. We would not hesitate to recommend their accommodation to anyone would definitely stay there again. Thank you Bob and Jennifer for sharing your home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Jennifer Burgis

Host profile image
We are retired world travellers who appreciate the outdoors as well as enjoy the proximity and cultural events of a city. It is our pleasure to share our unique location with guests from near and far and share experiences & hear their stories.

Why they chose this property

It was inevitable that a member of the family would return to a family home that was purchased by the sea in 1972.

What makes this property unique

Located on Parry Bay, with a view of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State, the rural setting is second to none. As a waterfront acreage, the house has been substantially updated to ensure family members will continue to enjoy it for years to come.
