About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Safety, comfort, location. A gem surrounded by amenities.

We have a cozy fully furnished and equipped suite in the lower level of our home for rent in a safe, desirable neighborhood of Oak Bay. Convenient to public transportation and walkable to all amenities. We are also within walking distance or a short car ride to Royal Jubilee Hospital, Hospice, and the Cancer Clinic.

Walk to Willows Beach, or the Oak Bay Marina, or sit in the fenced backyard and read or relax. Table with umbrella and chairs in the yard. Venture out for a 40-minute walk or 10-minute bus ride to Downtown's Inner Harbor. Oak Bay also has its own town center with delightful shops and amenities all a short stroll away.
You may bring a small pet under some specific guidelines. Pets must not be on any of the furniture including the beds. The suite is designed for two guests in one bed, if you are 3 and require the use of the second bed there is extra fee of 30.00 per night. Three people is the maximum.
Walking distance to the grocery store, coffee shop, Oak Bay recreation center, and restaurants. Golf courses and tennis courses are also nearby.
Kitchen, laundry, parking, a queen bed, and a twin bed. Safe, clean, comfortable, and convenient.
In two spots the ducting drops the ceiling to just under 6 feet, a very tall person would need to duck slightly at those spots. No one has found this an issue.
Great location.
Enjoy your stay.

Yes, a true gem
If you’re looking for a good spot to enjoy the Oak Bay neighborhood and see how the locals live, this is the property to book. Lots of good food nearby, including a fish-and-chips place blocks from the beach; great walking; friendly folk, etc. Melinda and Joe are the best!

Very comfortable suite. Melinda and Joe are amazing and accommodating hosts.
This unit is very clean and well maintained. Full size washer and dryer a bonus. Yard and surrounding are kept immaculate. Loads of 'extras' in the unit - cold beverages in the fridge on arrival and snacks. Great off street parking and short drive to services (Save On Foods and personal services). They provide recycling and compost bins in the unit which we appreciate as it aligns with our lifestyle. We were in Victoria for medical reasons and our hosts were compassionate and accommodating - felt like family. We will be back.

Fabulous place!
We stayed at Melinda's for 5 nights and loved it. It's clean, well stocked and quiet. The location was perfect. Beach, coffee shops, shopping all close by and only 15 minutes to Victoria. We would definitely stay again when in town.
