About this apartment rental
The City of Victoria has advised that we do not require a business license as we rent or home swap our principal residence while we are traveling, for a month minimum and less than 6 months of the year. Their policy states:
Short-term rental hosts will be required to display a valid business licence number on their listing, where a business licence is required by a local government.
*************
Warmly decorated, approx. 900 sq.ft. condo available for longer term rentals (1 month minimum, 6 month maximum). Located in historic James Bay, Victoria's most desirable downtown neighbourhood, this quiet, comfortable and homey suite is a walkable distance to downtown Victoria and to the ocean shore (approx. 3 blocks in 3 directions!). James Bay is a quiet area with well cared for heritage homes, horse drawn carriages and is an easy walk to the neighborhood grocery stores, pharmacy, restaurants, a pub and other shops.
When we're not living on our boat in the summer or traveling south in our RV in the winter, this condo is our home. We love the area! Everything is so close... shopping, restaurants, live music, cozy pubs and coffee shops and of course, the ocean!
Appliances include a fridge, stove, oven, dishwasher and microwave. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, baking dishes, toaster, electric kettle, coffee maker, and much more. Various pantry staples, such as some coffee and teas, cooking oils and spices are available to use, as are unscented laundry soap and dryer sheets.
Two new soft large shag rugs have been added to the dining and living areas in March 2021.
The master bedroom has an extremely comfortable, king size bed with a brand new memory foam topper and luxurious cotton bedding. New soft shag carpeting with a thick underlay as of March 2021.

My husband and I spent a month in this James Bay apartment. Great location. Close to ocean, harbours, parks, restaurants, grocery stores, liquor store.
Hosts very accommodating during our booking process and during our stay. They were immediately available every time we had any questions. Highly recommended and we would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of 30 days. The apartment was clean, well equipped and within walking distance of Victoria attractions. Norm and Shena were always easy to contact if we had questions. Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Clean, cozy and safe apartment in a quiet building in the heart of James Bay. The place is close to everything and it feels like "home away from home". We highly recommend it.

My husband and I just enjoyed a month in Victoria and were very happy with our VRBO rental. The location is the best! A few blocks from the ocean and Fisherman's wharf and a quick short walk to the inner harbor. We spent the month in Victoria and staying at this location, did not need a car. The bed was really comfortable and the cabinets well stocked. We hope to get to visit this beautiful city again and if we are lucky enough to do so we would stay here again..

The location was great - close to downtown, the harbour, walks along the water and to amenities. Everything (and more!) was provided to ensure we would have what we would need for our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable. The owner was very responsive re any questions we might have. A very enjoyable stay!

A nice quiet place within easy walking distance to downtown, the James Bay restaurants, and a Thrifty's supermarket. I appreciated that this is someone's home with comfortable furniture rather than the charity shop rejects that sometimes populate these places. It is well equipped and the owners are easy to deal with. Definitely recommended.

We enjoyed our 1 month stay here very much. The condo was in a great location for visiting & exploring downtown Victoria, without all of the hustle and bustle one would expect being so close to the city centre! We could walk to the water's edge within minutes in 3 directions! A lovely grocery store, pharmacies, liquor commission etc. were just around the corner, making it easy to get pretty much anything we needed. We really enjoyed the sound of the horse drawn carts going by our patio. The condo was clear & comfortable with a wonderfully cozy bed, and was fully stocked with everything to get started. The hosts were kind and attentive, and gave us a nice introduction to the city when we arrived. We would highly recommend this condo!

The location is ideal : easy walking distance to the ocean, Beacon Hill Park and to the city centre but on a quiet, tree-lined street in a lovely neighborhood. The suite is spacious, well-furnished, with lots of storage. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly require and the owners very kindly left kitchen staples and spices. The bed was ultra comfortable and the sheets and towels were all high quality. A technical problem with the DVD player (due to our ignorance) was resolved with lightning speed by Norm. We feel very fortunate to have found this suite which met and surpassed all our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend it to others and would most certainly return should we have to stay in Victoria again.
