About this house rental
**Please note that our property is available for rentals that are a minimum of 30 days or more. Thank you.**
Our house is close to beautiful downtown Victoria. We are only a 10 minute walk from the inner harbour and Beacon Hill park and are close to the ocean, Fisherman's Wharf and many of Victoria's major attractions. You'll love our place because it is among the nicest completely refurbished heritage homes in Victoria's premier historical neighbourhood. The unit for rent is both the main and upper floor of the house - about 2300 square feet. Enjoy the horse drawn carriages passing by on the street. Our place is good for couples, business travellers, and families.

Very comfortable. Great sun room.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay in James Bay. The location is a five minute walk from inner harbour and downtown and a 10 minute to the ocean. This property is a 110 year gem with some modern upgrades but still has the feeling of a historical home. Not to mention the great host who welcomed us and made us feel right at home.

There are many qualities for evaluating a vacation rental: location, quality of unit, communication with host, service, size, comfort, cleanliness, attractiveness of interiors. Very few merit five stars in all these factors. This one does. The location,a quiet street a couple of blocks behind the Parliament, is exceptionally convenient to Victoria’s major tourist areas. You can walk to everything. The property is a beautifully modernized historic building, including a large new kitchen. The hospitality level is above and beyond: the welcome package included coffee, tea, bagels, milk, orange juice, cereal, and more. Chris responded really quickly to all messages. His friendly dad, who lives below the rental, helped out with any questions and was never intrusive. Could not recommend more highly.

Cute craftsman style historic bungalow. Plenty of room for a family. Ideally located on a quiet street yet highly walkable to everything. We very much enjoyed our stay.

This is the best VRBO we have ever rented. The unit is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It is fully stocked with necessities including a spice rack. The location is wonderful with grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and other services within walking distance. The parliament building, harbor and museum are an easy walk.
The owner is charming and was extremely helpful. Little problems were taken care of promptly and cheerfully. We would go back in a minute!

Located in James Bay, behind the Legislative buildings within walking distance of downtown, Beacon Hill Park and Cook Street Village. Wonderful kitchen, front and back decks and fabulous tv and reading sunroom so time spent here is as enjoyable as your days out.

We had the loveliest time in this centrally located home in James Bay. There’s really no need for a car here as absolutely everything you could possibly want is a short walk away! Groceries, restaurants, Victoria Harbour and Beacon Hill Park are mere blocks away! But if you do have a car, there is plenty of driveway space to park it. We arrived to a welcome package of bagels, OJ and butter and a bottle of wine! What a lovely touch! You will be hard pressed to find anything wrong with this home! And if you are like us, it will be hard to leave! Thank you Mike and Chris for everything!

I’ve stayed in this lovely home on 3 separate occasions and every time has been exceptional! The home is nicely appointed with modern amenities but still retains its old world charm. It’s so perfectly located to all the best spots to walk to and the owner provided a touching arrival gift of kitchen basics and fresh juice and bagels. Fresh flowers also greeted us! The back patio is an oasis and the back tv room is a bright cozy corner to relax in with a great view of the giant weeping willow in the back yard. The summer heat does make the upstairs a little toasty but the main ground floor stayed nice and cool. I will definitely want to stay here again!

Beautiful place, very clean. Great location. So nice to have flowers, a bottle of wine, coffee and bagels to start us off. Chris and Mike were so very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend. We had a fantastic stay.
5.0 / 5.0
This home is everything, and more, as advertised. Well appointed, thoroughly equipped, and very comfortable residence near everything you want to see in town. Located 5-10 minutes walk from Victoria’s main attractions, yet in a quiet and lovely neighborhood, this home invites drinks on the deck, quiet afternoon naps, and privacy for multiple guests. We loved our stay and hope to return!

My friends and I wanted to see Butchart Gardens in the spring, and this was the perfect place to stay. Bright and clean and lovely and walking distance to the harbor, grocery store, and restaurants. We were welcomed with bagels in the refrigerator and fresh flowers and wine on the counter. Michael was friendly and hospitable, and we couldn't have had a nicer time in his lovely home.

Beautiful home. Very clean and you can’t beat the location.
2.5 / 5.0
The house was immaculate and beautifully appointed. It was spacious - we were an east coast family coming for a big west coast celebration with our family here
We could have friends and family over. We cooked and worked and enjoyed the house every moment.
Its a close walk to downtown, to yoga and to shopping
Everyone wanted to know how we had found it luck. The luck of VRBO
2.5 / 5.0
You know you've picked the right place the moment you step inside. Every detail is taken care of, and the home itself is beautiful, from its Craftsman-style bones to the impeccable furnishings. Everything has been renovated, and the kitchen and bathrooms are lovely. We had such a good time.
