We loved our time at Betty and Chris's home. The view of the ocean was stunning and we walked the 5 minutes to the beach any chance we had! The kitchen was well equipped for our large group. The beds and bedding were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. We enjoyed the 2 decks which provided opportunity to catch the sun in the morning and afternoon. We would definitely stay again!

Quiet, close-ish to downtown. Walking nearby. Has all the necessities plus more than you would need at the house.

I booked this for my son, daughter in law and their 4 children. Beautiful spacious home in an excellent quiet location near beach and park. Gracious hosts. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone. Will again book for my family to stay here if it’s available for their next visit.

We were very pleased with the accommodation. Location was in a quiet neighbourhood with a view to the ocean and central to many of the Island attractions.
On the downside we were unable to reach the owners on two occasions by email.

We were delighted with the home. It felt like home from home. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and living are were great. We cooked most meals in the house as the family had allergies. Having all the condiments in the kitchen was great. I would highly recommend this lovely home.

Betty and Chris’s place is beautiful. We enjoyed the Ocean view from the kitchen, dinning area and outdoor deck in the morning and continued to soak in the sun in the evening from the backyard in the very well kept garden and pond. It was home away from home with all the amenities. The Glencoe Cove is a 10 min walk away to access the ocean for a stroll. Chris and Betty has a great book collection so no need to pack your own which I very much enjoyed with our amazing welcome bottle of wine.

Wonderful House in Victoria
Amazing! is just a small way to describe this place, the location was perfect. We enjoyed the mornings looking at the ocean, wildlife walking around the front porch! Great way to start your day and enjoy a cup of coffee. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, very well equipped. Plenty of space for our group, we stayed for 5 days and where able to drive around the whole island. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this location, the host was always responsive to our needs.

Lovely spacious and well equipped property in a beautiful and peaceful area. Lots of wildlife with Hummingbirds and deer to watch from the house. Easy access to get out and about to visit the sights around Victoria. Some of the gadgets (kettle & front door locking mechanism in particular) took a bit of getting used to especially after a long flight. We managed everything after a few false starts but some additional instructions would be great to make it that little bit easier. We found the heating system a little on the noisy side but then again it’s very different to what we’re used to at home! All in all we had a lovely stay visiting family and exploring Victoria. Thank you

Beautiful house to enjoy and relax!
We had a great week here! On arrival Betty and Chris had left a bottle of wine and welcome card for us. So many nice touches that didn’t go unnoticed. Check in was easy and house was better than we expected! The hot tub was so nice to sink into after exploring in the rain.
The house is well set up for groups as we were never in each other’s space and there were many areas to lounge and visit comfortably. The ocean view from the front deck was enjoyed each morning over coffee. Most days we even saw deer roaming around the neighborhood. The hosts definitely have green thumbs that were apparent from many beautiful plants and trees throughout the back yard.
A very relaxing and enjoyable stay!
Thank you for having us, wish we didn’t have to leave!

We had a lovely time in this beautiful house with our extended family- for 6 adults and 3 kids there was more than enough space. The location was nicely close to many beaches and parks, while still convenient for day trips downtown or to the west coast (though a car is pretty necessary). The gardens were pretty amazing- kids very much enjoyed feeding the fish and splashing in the hot tub. The house furnishings were very nice as well, though perhaps too nice for us with 3 kids in tow!
