Very nice quiet property with absolutely everything we needed for our stay. If you have it in your home it will be here for you. It truly felt like a home away from home. After long days of driving, walking, sight-seeing and visiting with friends and family it was nice to be able to come "home" to the property and be able to just relax as a family. My kids loved the double bunk beds and the relaxing quiet setting of the property was a nice contrast to the business of our days while visiting victoria. It was a very pleasurable trip thanks in large part to our hosts.

The overall impression is very good ! Great location and amazing host ! One minor point is the 2nd bedroom it has 2 double bunk beds. It sleeps indeed 4 people however the top bunk bed is more appropriate for young adults or teens.

We had a delightful time at Mike’s place. Spacious, with everything you would need to make this feel like home. Mike was unaware that the website listed a hot tub as an amenity, and changed it quickly, letting us know there had not been a hot tub there for many years. A great place to stay.

The house was perfect and roomy for our family stay on Vancouver Island. Gracious host. The house was beautifully decorated. Super comfortable with all the amenities. We were blown away at how nice the home was. Fabulous stay!

Great property! Beautifully decorated and clean with great amenities! So many extras like games, PS4, 4K TV, and books. Quiet location, yet super close to highway to go into Sidney or Victoria.
Definitely will be staying here again 🙂

Mikes property is fantastic. Very private and secure. My wife and our dog stayed, our dog had an incredible fully fenced area and the cottage itself is really cozy, modern, clean and has many awesome amenities.
This location is filled with nature walking trails, horth hill is a great near by large park within walking distance. Also worth mentioning there are horses, wineries and many farms and farm stands near by. It is such a relaxing area to stay in.
Mike is a very friendly, respectful and easy going host, we enjoyed chatting with him while he’s headed to his wood working shop on the weekends. All around great guy and we really enjoyed getting to know him.
All in all it’s truly a home away from home. We felt very comfortable and would 10/10 recommend!

Micheal was quick to respond to our inquiry and we booed immediately after our questions were answered. The place is well equipped with the basic necessities and very clean throughout. It is dog friendly and rural which was nice for the family. We will certainly look to book again! This is such a great place! Shh don’t tell anyone!

I stayed with my dog and two exchange students. It was perfect for me with lots of trails to explore and near the ocean. Was able to paddleboard in a few nearby bays and it’s a short drive to Sidney.
Michael, the host, was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again

We stayed here for a few weeks while waiting to move into our new home. It was very cozy and had everything we needed. Micheal was great and easily accessible.
We would highly recommend it.

My spouse and I had a wonderful two-night stay at this charming North Saanich property. From the get-go, our host, Mike, was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring a pleasant experience.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house was spacious and comfortable. The master bedroom, with its incredibly cozy bed and heated mattress, made for a luxurious night's sleep. The fully equipped kitchen was a highlight, eliminating the need to bring our own supplies.
Cleanliness was impeccable, reflecting the care taken to maintain a pristine environment. The rural location provided a peaceful escape, yet the property was only a short 7-minute drive from the ferry, combining tranquility with convenience.
Being pet owners, we appreciated the pet-friendly atmosphere. The dogs on the property were a non-issue and been able to bring 2 dogs was the main factor in choosing the property in the first place. The surrounding area was perfect for dog walks, adding to the overall appeal.
Our experience was extremely positive and we would like stay again. This property, with its welcoming host, comfortable amenities, and pet-friendly environment, stands out as an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended for those seeking a homey retreat with all the comforts one could wish for. Can't wait to come back for another memorable stay!

Our stay was excellent very happy with the area and the accommodations. The only thing was they needed either an extra love seat or a couple smaller chairs as the couch really only worked for 3 people but that was the only negative and not really a negative.
4.9
We stayed here for just 1 day and night but the house was well equipped and comfortable for our family of 4 adults 1 toddler and 1 infant. It could accommodate around 6 adults at a time without kids. The restaurants and shops for basic needs are 10 mins away from the house. The host was very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

The house is very clean and good condition. I can see the owner of the house really thought about guests who will stay at his place. Everything you would need was prepared (even umbrellas!) Mike responded quickly for every question I asked. After long day outside busy and tired, this place felt home! We would recommend this place to our freinds and families!

Our party of 5 people and 2 old dogs enjoyed a spectacular week on the Saanich Peninsula. We wanted something outside of Victoria that still provided easy access to all the sights. We hit the jackpot with this rental, especially factoring in the fair price. Not only are the accommodations outstanding in this new structure with modern fixtures and appliances, the location is simply perfect. Moses Point, Horth Hill Park, and Swarz Bay are all under 10 minutes away by car. Sidney is just over 10 minutes away, and Butchart Gardens, YYJ (and the outstanding BC Aviation Museum) are 20 minute drives. Victoria and all her exciting offerings are an easy 30-minute drive south.
The WIFI was excellent, and the smart TV and PS4 were fun to have. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the requisite tools, though you will need to bring your own spices, oils, etc. There is a fully stocked coffee and tea selection though. The AC was great to have on the two hot days we encountered, and the private patio is terrific for meals and relaxation under the towering firs. The unit is situated in the backyard of a large home, so there will be some pleasant interaction with the friendly and accommodating owners and their happy and talkative dogs. Overall, our expectations were exceeded, and we very much look forward to our next stay there. Budmo!

The property is fabulous. The cottage totally self contained.
Everything was topnotch. We all enjoyed our very short time there and would have gladly stayed longer.
4.9
House was clean and had everything you could think of. A lot of very thoughtful inclusions for families and lots of extra linens and towels. Good sized kitchen if you want to eat in. The patio area was lovely and felt very private nested in the trees of this rural property. We appreciated being able to charge our EV on site! Property isn't far from Victoria or Sidney and lots to do in the area. We will likely try to book this property again next time we come to the island. Thank you for the lovely stay!

The house is a fairly new build with a nice privacy fenced patio that includes furniture and a barbeque. It is located right behind the main residence but overall we felt like we had privacy. It is located outside of Sydney in a very rural area but it was any easy drive to town. The kitchen is very complete and well appointed. My friend used the master suite and I used the bunk room which wasn't made up. It was probably assumed by the host that the 2 adults on the reservation were a couple. The house was generally well furnished but could have been cleaner. Overall it was a nice place to relax after our daily excursions.

This cottage unit is located in quiet North Saanich area and only 8 minutes away from Swartz Bay ferry station. It got everything you need for a family getaway - from BBQ to baby booster chairs. Very clean and great decor throughout - got an air conditioner as well! Michael was very easy to communicate and responded to my inquiries right away. Check in process was very easy. Will recommend this property and would love to return next time!
