Outstanding(69 Reviews)4.8
This was a three-generation road trip with ultimate destination being a visit to Butchart Gardens. We were able to leave our car at this very comfortable home and walk there, which was a huge plus. The location is excellent, and the neighborhood was very quiet. We spent two nights there, and beds were comfortable for all of us. Note that all three bedrooms are on the second floor, if that is an issue. There is a half bath on the first floor, which was convenient. I do think the master shower would benefit from a good scrubbing of the stone, and kitchen appliances need some maintenance, but that was disclosed in the listing, and did not interfere with our ability to fix our meals. We did not use TV’s or radio or fireplaces, so cannot comment on those. We did avail ourselves to the pool table. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

We would stay here again, great house, lots of room. Beds really comfortable. Some oddities; sheets in master bedroom not the right size so they kept slipping off. Towels not out so had to hunt them down, including towels/wash cloth for kitchen.
4.8
It was a great house and location to Butchart Gardens. There were a lot of instructions around the house, but as someone with a more complex house, i can see that the host tries to anticipate most problems that might arise.

It was a great place to host a family weekend. Kitchen is exceptionally well provisioned. Seymour was very quick to respond to inquiries and a great host.
4.8
The place was great! My husband and I stayed here for four nights celebrating our honeymoon. It was the perfect location to see a lot. There’s a lot to do and see in Brentwood Bay if you’re the outdoorsy type, Sidney isn’t too far for additional great restaurants, easy day trip to Salt Spring Island and easy access to downtown Victoria.
Would definitely recommend this central location if you plan to bop around to different parts of the island.
4.8
The location was perfect for us since we arrived by ferry from Vancouver. The beds were super comfortable (a must for me) and had we used the kitchen it had everything we could possibly have needed.
4.8
The house is nested in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for a retreat to the nature with family. It’s spacious for 5 people to stay, clean, simple, and nicely decorated, not tacky at all. The owner responded to our questions promptly. We enjoyed our stay at this house for 4 nights.

We stayed for a month and intentionally booked a single family home for the space and expected privacy that comes along with a detatched 3 bedroom bouse. The house is lovely, beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. It is perfectly located for touring Victoria and surrounding area. If you book this house, be aware the owner spends many nights sleeping in the detatched garage 10 feet from the front door with no notice or communication.
4.8
The house itself is very nice and has all the basic necessities included. However, it was quite obvious that the owner is handling the cleanings between stays himself — crumbs and general small floor debris; could use a good sweep and mop. The coffee maker was a disaster when we arrived — my father in law took it upon himself to deep clean before using.
Again, the house itself is fantastic! The mattresses are all very very cozy, water pressure is great too!
HOWEVER, discovering a stranger seemingly casing our vehicles in the driveway midway through our stay was quite alarming - especially when it turned out to be the owner Seymour who had apparently been sleeping in the tiny garage outside the front entrance of the house the whole time…
Too creepy, never staying here again.

We had the best start to our time in Canada at this property, it is so convenient for everything on the peninsula, very homely and has everything you would need! The host Seymour is very accommodating and helpful
It’s a fabulous house

Spent 3 nights here- easily accommodated the 7 of us. Had breakfast in the house each day, didn’t need to search for anything we needed- all readily available. Short ride into Victoria.
We had a great time & slept well on the comfy beds.

Clean, Quiet and close to everything. We enjoy visiting Brentwood Bay. Close to family, restaurants and attractions.

Seymour’s house is a comfortable and relaxing stay which is a 15 minute walk to Butchart Gardens (find the shortcut through the woods on Google Maps!) and a short 25 minute drive to Victoria Harbor. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking our own dinners, the beds are comfortable and the back deck is wonderful for morning coffee or evening dinners, and for watching deer and other critters in the back yard. It’s an efficient base for exploring Vancouver Island, as we made drives to Port Renfrew, Sooke, Ladysmith and Duncan. Make sure you try Blue’s Bayou just a short walk down to Brentwood Bay. Grocery and specialty meat (Carnivores) and Seafood market next door to it is just a couple of KM away. We highly recommend Seymour’s property!

It was a very nice time visiting the house. Seymour was super responsive when an issue popped up.
4.8
Communication with the owner was easy and he responded quickly. The property overall was good but it needs some maintenance (ice maker, fireplace not working) and could be cleaner (not swept under couch when hide-a-bed pulled out, etc). The beds were very comfortable and in good shape but the furniture is all worn. The pool table was a nice bonus.
4.8
This house was exactly as the pictures showed. It had everything we needed and it's located on a quiet cul de sac. Seymour was always available to answer any questions. And it's air conditioned! Which was greatly appreciated as it was over 30C (85F) the 4 days we were there.

Great getaway
My husband, my Dad and another couple (close friends) stayed here for a week vacation. It was a fantastic house that we could all visit comfortably but have our own space as well. The kitchen had everything we needed and we made most of our suppers here easily. The pool table and piano were a nice touch. Seymour was easy to communicate with for any issues or questions that came up. The neighborhood was very quiet and beautiful. It acted as a good base camp for our activities around Victoria and up Island. Overall a wonderful place to stay.
4.8
Perfect family stay
The house was exactly as shown and the owner had thoughtfully stocked it with everything you might need. Our family of 2 grandparents, 3 adult children and 2 little ones had all the space we needed while attending a wedding at a nearby winery and visiting the sights of Victoria. We would highly recommend it.

Vancouver island adventure
The property was as shown on vrbo listing had all the amenities needed was very spacious and a great location for butchart gardens Victoria and the malahat skywalk all of which we did.Played quite a few games of pool at the house which was a nice addition to the property and had great meals at brewskys a nearby local pub.

Seymour's home was perfect for our week of family exploration. The location was great for being able to explore everything we wanted to from downtown Victoria, to the famous glass beach in Sidney. The views from the decks were stunning, and the house was so spacious it was such a treat and perfect for our young kids to play throughout. For those of you wondering, there is a nice size yard in the back, big enough to play a bit of soccer or frisbee or what not. We will be back!

What a very comfortable, family friendly house located just minutes from Butchart Gardens and great food. The kitchen was our central gathering spot, as was the dining room table that doubled as a puzzle and gaming table. Our teens loved the pool table and piano. (Our son loved the Apple TV) On our way home we talked about the need to go back to the same house but this time in the summer and bring our bikes and rent some kayaks in the bay. We also would have made better use of the deck furniture if it hadn't been a bit too cool. Best Thanksgiving week ever.

Close to the gardens
The house was very nice and suited our needs well. Butchart Gardens was the main reason for our trip so being a few blocks away was perfect. We got the annual passes and were able to go over every day and spend some time.
The neighborhood was mostly quiet but was quiet at night which is always important. Overall it was a nice place to stay.
