About this house rental

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 included with 5th or 6th guest (additional charge of $75 per night 4 guests or under).

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time staying at Scott and Meredith‘s property. There was 5 of us, we had family visit us there and there was tons of room to cook, eat meals, and visit. The suite was beautiful, and everything was squeaky clean which always adds to a stay. The beds were very comfy and so was the bedding . The wraparound deck and the dock outside were also beautiful; it was a little chilly to sit out there while we were there, but it creates a lovely ambiance watching the birds, including hummingbirds coming up to the feeder. The neighborhood is gorgeous, and very quiet, but close to everything. A few minutes from the ferry and the airport. No complaints about anything related to our stay and we would definitely stay again!

While looking for a place to relax and get my daughter settled in for University we came across this listing that was perfect for our family of 4 and pets. With the availability of 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, large living area and awesome stocked kitchen, dining room, covered deck and views it was a perfect fit.. When we arrived it was exactly as was posted and worked very well for our family, including our pets. The beds were very comfy as well which is important to a person with a bad back. The yard was very tranquil and being able to watch the tide come in and out on one of the many areas(dock, hammock chair or covered deck) was one of my favorite things to do while I relaxed and breathed in the fresh air, especially with a morning coffee. Although it was 20-30 minutes away from Victoria it was exactly what we needed, away from the city but close to SOOO many beautiful places, lakes and quietness. Sidney is very close where you will find everything you may need. We were even able to catch some large and small mouth bass and these beautiful pumpkin fish at some of the fresh lakes in the area. Scott and Meredith and as Hosts were awesome, friendly, quick to answer questions or concerns and were very respectful with privacy during our 8 day stay. We were so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend these days here as a family and will definitely keep it in top of mind for future.

Our stay in North Saanich was great and the accommodation was fantastic. The property was very clean and obviously well looked after. The balcony was large and every morning and evening was spent just taking-in the peacefulness. In addition, the hosts were very helpful giving advice on places to go or any time we had a question. We will certainly stay there again if we get the chance.

Great central location

Great central location

Scott couldn’t be nicer. They had a sign and cupcakes ready for me as I was there for my 50th birthday. You can’t beat the view out one of the Queen bedrooms. It’s super close to the ferry and a short drive to everything else. The downside is as someone else commented on, you hear a lot of noise f I’m upstairs and their toddler. The first few days it was cute. By day three when you really just want to sleep in and you hear those little feet run across the floor it’s less adorable. I think if I’d had ear plugs it would have done the trick. My sound machine wasn’t quite enough. It is a great location and cute little place though.
