Oceanside suite in quiet nature setting

Great location, superb accommodation and very friendly hosts. We stayed 9 days in late January, the weather was okay but, it was still relaxing to sit on the covered deck and watch and listen to all the different birds. The home is right on the water, yet still close to all amenities. Highly recommended.

Scott's. place had lots of space and different areas for our larger group to hang out, relax and converse. We loved the patio. Location was very close to the ferry and about 20 minutes north or race start. We would stay again.

The property was spacious, relaxing, and had a beautiful view. There are many spaces to relax outside and enjoy. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, with a ton of natural light. Everything was wonderful.

The area is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning and listening to the birds. The owner was very easy to communicate with. We had everything we needed including space heaters for the storm that happened during our stay. Very dramatic!

We enjoyed this property for 2 weeks in June-July, including the Canada day holiday. Large covered deck overlooking tidal lagoon is very relaxing. Enjoyed the Canada Day events in Sidney and riding bikes to Swartz Bay ferries for day trips. We may well return next summer. If we go again we would check tide table ahead of time for afternoon paddleboarding. Interior of property comfortable.

Great location as a base to explore Vancouver island . The balcony is fantastic for bird watching . We saw hummingbirds!!!

We spent 10 days in Meredith and Scott's suite with three friends, working and adventuring. The location was perfect—close to the airport and ferry terminal, and with easy access to the highway for trips into downtown Victoria. The suite itself was spacious enough for everyone to have their own privacy, filled with natural light, and featured a large deck with a peaceful, scenic view. Communication with Meredith and Scott was excellent—they ensured we had everything we needed and made sure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. While we had seen reviews mentioning noise from the children upstairs, we found it wasn’t an issue; quiet hours were strictly observed, and the silence during that time was greatly appreciated. Overall, a perfect experience! We would happily come back.

Our host, Scott, was always quick to respond to all questions or requests from our first communication. The house worked great for our grown family of five, son-in-law and new grandson. We had all four rooms with very comfortable beds. The queen room in main area has a beautiful water view and the two King suites were perfect for providing privacy, including their own bathrooms. The covered deck overlooking the water was cozy with comfortable chairs. Great for morning coffee and birdwatching. Location was also a plus as near the airport and easy to go on day trips. Loved our stay.

Peaceful location, very spacious and great beds! It was too cold to sit out on the covered deck in early March but lots of windows to enjoy watching the many birds. Easy access to walking trails and nearby Sidney offers all amenities

All went well with our stay. We enjoyed the patio looking out on the bird sanctuary.

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.

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!

I stayed here with my childhood friend for a girls weekend. The property was very clean and well maintained. Beautiful neighborhood and close to a lot of amenities. Scott and family were welcoming and helpful.

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.

There was only four towels. There was only 3 dishwasher soaps. Very noisy upstairs.

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!

We enjoyed our stay in the area and were happy with the amount of space we had. But the foot traffic overhead was quite loud. The igloo outside looked fun, but it was too dirty to use. There were clothes left behind from prior guests and a lot of dust under the beds. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with. Everything worked well and the rest of the place was clean.

Our host was very accomodating and quick to respond to our messages. The property was in a great location for us. We enjoyed the stay, the house was nice and clean.

We had a rough start with a few issues but they were prompt on fixing things up, we grew to love this place and its space , Nature at your door step with beautiful evening skies , it was amazing . There are quite a few steps to deal with deal with and , other than that we loved it 😊not

Not suitable for people with any kind of disability particularly in bathrooms - low toilets, no walk-in shower, no grab bars in bathtubs. Beds not very comfortable, no place to put things in bedroom - one small side table, no dresser - only rack to hang clothes on. Large rug in kitchen very slippery even for those with no mobility issues. Beds not very comfortable except for king bedded room. Beautiful neighborhood, easy area for walking dogs.

Spacious and Private! 3 bedrooms,2 baths! Our family was able to enjoy the island for the day and come back to enjoy a quiet evening without feeling over crowded with no escape😊

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.

Great location, spacious suite (we took the additional room due to the size of our party) - more than enough space for us all and the property had everything we needed. Check in and out was very easy, Scotty was responsive and accommodating. The location is ideal for exploring the local Sidney area, lots of to see and do, we would come back

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.

Our stay was quiet and very comfortable. Our host Scott was helpfull and answered any questions quickly. We would stay here again.

Host was responsive

Beautiful suite for four adults. Close to Sidney and to Victoria. Scott and Meredith were great hosts. Check in was very smooth. Suite was well equipped. We will be back.

The place is nice enough but there was an issue with the bed and the host was unresponsive so we had to cut our trip short

We enjoyed our s6ay in Scott's two bedroom suite. He was vary accommodating and communicativeThe suite had everything we required provided an excellent view from the deck and is well locared.I would recommend to anyone.David

Very attentive hosts!

We really appreciated being able to bring our dog with us. We have family on Vancouver Island and are familiar with the location of the property, its proximity to Victoria, the ferry terminal and airport so we weren’t bothered by the sounds of traffic (vehicles, ferries, planes and helicopters). In retrospect, I would have paid better attention to the additional costs of this property (amounted to an additional night stay/non-refundable) but over all felt it was good value. I really recommend checking out Pacifica PaddleSports at Canoe Cove Marina near Swartz Bay. Helpful staff and a great location to see lots of local wildlife.

Beautiful location, close to both nature and downtown Sydney at the same time. The extra bedroom has its own entrance. This was nice to have when having people that may want a bit more privacy or that have a different wake/bedtime than the group. We would definitely stay again.

The proximity to the ferry and town center was perfect. The birding was awesome. Many varieties. Beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay at location very easy ferry access highly recommended.

Whether you enjoy bird watching, (the blue herons nesting) cycling, golfing, hiking or just enjoying the oceanside walks, this location is incredible. Close to Sidney and the ferries and also drivable to anywhere on the Island. We stayed for an entire month! We had family visitors on two occasions. In fact, we booked the third bedroom for one stay and had lots of room for all of us. Highly recommend it! We hope to return sometime.

This was a perfect retreat for our mostly adult family to spend quality time together. There was enough space to spread out for privacy and to come together for cooking and family meals. The

Nice place. Our timing was off as the tide was out whenever we wanted to sit on the dock. Not a cooks kitchen but all

Beautiful suite for four adults. Close to Sidney and to Victoria. Scott and Meredith were great hosts. Check in was very smooth. Suite was well equipped. We will be back.

This was the perfect property for us to stay in given our needs. The host is friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Some may not realize that B.C. recently changed regulations that the owner needs to be on the property so this set up was great as the main floor we used was large and provided great privacy as they were on the upper floor with seperate entrance. It was super close to everything that we wanted to explore throughout our five days and it allowed us to buy groceries and cook everything we needed to save some cash. The beds were super comfortable. I usually have hip pain when I sleep and I didn't the entire stay. It was fun to sit out on the deck and watch the sunsets and various birds that would come into the area. This would be hands down our first choice of property to stay at when we visit again.

The apartment was beautiful and well stocked with kitchen basics and a few extras. We really enjoyed our stay and will try to book a stay there again in the summer. Great bird watching and a lovely neighbourhood.
