Private large up to 3 bedrooms waterfront suite, pet friendly

Located in the marina district of a quiet executive neighbourhood, this waterfront 1,800 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom tidal oceanfront suite overlooks a national migratory bird estuary and is a great base for seeing all of the attractions of the peninsula and Victoria.
As you enter through your private entrance, there is a spacious living area with 42” cable and wifi TV. The garden queen bedroom is on the left. From there you pass the ocean view queen bedroom onto the open design kitchen, dining area, bathroom and second TV area that overlooks a private 600’ covered patio with views into the 1/2 acre woodlands and onto views of the waterfront. We provide linens, towels, soaps, shampoos and some teas and coffee.

There is an option for an 3rd bedroom off the suite for an additional charge.

Shops and restaurants in Sidney is less than a 5 minute car ride or walk thru the National Park, nature parks and flat trails to town. Major attractions are close including Butchard Gardens. Sidney is known for great events and shows including Thursday night street summer markets, Weekend concerts on the beach, glass beach and the many independent shops. Minutes from the BC ferry, USA ferry and Victoria airport.

Please talk to us about bringing your pet as we welcome the whole gang!

Scott, Meredith and the boys welcome you to come and relax and enjoy the island from the Tsehum harbour.

A Family Escape
The property was lovely and well kept, with a great view off the deck. Scott made the check in process extremely easy and was quick to respond with any questions we had. Upon arriving, we found the home was a lovely cool temperature. We did have trouble finding the thermostat as it was a bit too cool during the evening, but we sorted it out eventually. The one far room was a bit stuffy at night; however, cracking the window open made it more than comfortable. Everything we needed for cooking was easy to find and in great condition. Checking out was easy, and cleanup was more than reasonable. For some reason, I was unable to send any communication via the website, but Scott was easy to reach via the phone and responded quickly. I really can’t say enough good things about our stay here. Thanks again, Scott and family!

Girls vacation.
Our place was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. The area was beautiful. Sat outside in the evenings with a nice glass of wine and coffee in the morning enjoying the birds and fresh air. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I would easily recommend this to anyone who wants to go to Victoria but doesn’t want to stay in the city. The Butchart Gardens were amazing. Butterfly museum was worth seeing, walking around Sidney and Victoria was beautiful. Thank you so much for making our yearly girls trip so amazing.

A very important fact is that this is not “waterfront/oceanfront” except as a technicality. The property is on muddy tidal pool that was always just mud during our entire stay (morning, afternoon, evening). There is no “harbour view” or “ocean view” or "beach" so this is a misrepresentation in the listing that should be rectified to avoid disappointments, like our family’s. Note that this is a basement level apartment, underground from the back and though it is above ground from the front with a nice porch overlooking au natural forest garden, the largest room, the living room, is completely windowless, dark and depressing. The house is also close to the highway so despite the birds we heard, there was constant humming of cars in the background so not a rural feel. Cleanliness was OK but some surfaces we wiped turned white napkins black and the dishwasher filter was quite dirty so more attention to detail is needed. Bedrooms we got were small with one night stand so one of us had put stuff on the ground at night. Bathrooms need some shelving to put your clean stuff on it. Some reviews mentioned children noise upstairs. We heard a bunch of that too but it did not bother us much as we like kids though people expecting serenity may think otherwise. The unit is decent size, kitchen has basics, but it was quite pricey compared to true oceanfront hotel accommodations overlooking sandy beach in town, where we will stay next time.

The covered porch was lovely. And the home was in a beautiful neighborhood. However the living room had no windows and wasn’t very appealing to sit in.

We thoroughly enjoyed sipping our morning tea while watching the variety of birds and changing shoreline . This was a peaceful retreat to spend the holidays close to family. The hosts were very friendly and the location near Sidney and the ferry was ideal. The space itself was clean and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend!

Read the listing carefully!!
My family were unhappy with this place, and decided to pack and leave instead of staying for our whole holiday. We were woken up by running toddlers in the house in which this place was. My fault for not realizing this is not a whole place, but the grounf floor of a family home with young children. Lesson learned.

Comfortable Place
We had a fairly comfortable stay. We really enjoyed sitting out in the covered patio. Scott was great to deal with. It has a beautiful view. The only complaint was a noisy child running back and forth, dropping things and crying for an hour on our last night. We were woken up at 7 a.m. Sunday morning so we listened to that for 2 hours until we checked out. We would have liked a heads up about that! Otherwise, it was great.

June 2023 Four Day Stay
My family (husband, son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law) all stayed at this lovely home. Our experience started off great, as the hosts allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in. Meredith & Scott left us a sweet welcome message with a bottle of local cider for us to enjoy. Our hosts graciously allowed us to have our extended family members over for visits; our large family were in the area attending a family wedding. Parking was a premium in this cul de sac. Meredith and Scott were aware we were visiting for our son's wedding, and sent a best wishes message, which was very thoughtful of them. This VRBO is located in a very nice area, in a quiet neighbourhood, close to the Victoria airport. We found the access to the water to be a lovely little area to enjoy the birds and warm weather. There are two fridges in the suite, with two areas for guests to gather to eat and to play games. A washer and dryer are available with a small amount of soap provided. There was plenty of room for three couples. Kitchen supplies/dishes are also available. The beds were comfortable as well. I would recommend this vacation rental.
